Designed for the language student as well as the lover of fine literature, this convenient dual-language book features eleven great short stories -- each one appearing in the original Italian, with vivid and accurate English translations on facing pages.Robert A. Hall, Jr., Professor Emeritus of Linguistics and Italian, Cornell University, has compiled a stimulating and representative collection ranging from a 14th-century selection from Boccaccio's The Decameron to Alberto Moravia's Competition, a 20th-century view of lower-and middle-class Italian life. Among the other works are Machiavelli's Belfagor; Story of the Devil Who Took a Wife, Matteo Bandello's reflections of 16th-century morals in Madonna Zilia, Giovanni Verga's objective portrayal of lower-class Sicilian life in Rosso Malpelo, Gabriele d'Annunzio's revelations of a depraved peasantry in The Idolaters, Luigi Pirandello's fascinating study of hypocritical social attitudes in The Tight Frock Coat, as well as equally significant works by Antonio Fogazzaro, Renato Fucini, Aldo Palazzeschi, and Corrado Alvaro.
Arranged chronologically so that the growth of the literary art may be followed, as well as enjoyed, each story is prefaced by a concise biographical/critical introduction. Also included are linguistic and cultural notes, a valuable Italian-English vocabulary, study questions on each story, and an informative essay on Italian fiction. Students of the Italian language will find the dual-language format timesaving and extremely helpful; readers of Italian literature will want to add this treasury of small masterworks to their personal libraries.

Great little boy blazer
Color: Dark Blue, Size: 8, Color: Dark Blue, Size: 8
Too adorable and good quality. My picture doesn't do it justice. A nice dark blue with a subtle pattern. Will go well with many outfits. Fits well and not too snug with a shirt or light sweater underneath.

Long sleeves
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 14
Looks so good on my boy. I bought a little big (size 14 for my 11 year old) and turned the sleeves in a couple inches, which requires moving the buttons, but I think he might get a couple years wear as he is probably about to hit a height growth spurt. It doesn't look cheap - the material is thick enough to drape nicely.

Surprising quality, excellent attention to detail, and satisfying shopping experience
Color: Light Grey, Size: 4
This shopping experience was fantastic. First of all, its quality definitely exceeded its price, and the texture is very good
Very thoughtful, great attention to detail, absolutely standard suit!!!
What I love the most about it is its fabric. It makes me feel at ease when my child wears it, and it won't be uncomfortable to wear. It's very child friendly
I have no doubt about the size, its waistband is adjustable, at least for my son, it fits well

Look and feel awesome!
Size: 11.5, Color: Optic White/Opti
These are awesome shoes - look great really, really white and clean! Love how comfortable they are - and soooo light. I was a little worried they'd get dirty easily, but I've been able to keep them clean. Fit as expected. If you're looking for a great, comfortable, and affordable shoe, check these out!
