Description
A landmark collection of Italian short stories, selected and introduced by Pulitzer Prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri. This Penguin Classic brings together forty writers who have shaped Lahiri's love of the Italian language and literature, offering a rich and diverse selection of stories.
More than half of the stories featured in this volume have been translated into English for the first time, alongside well-known authors such as Italo Calvino, Elsa Morante, and Luigi Pirandello. The writers represented here reflect a dynamic cross-section of Italian society, covering regional landscapes, private passions, and the dramatic events of the twentieth century.
Published by Penguin, a leading publisher of classic literature, this collection represents a significant contribution to the English-speaking world's literary heritage. With its authoritative text, introduction, and notes, this volume is a valuable addition to any reader's library.
