Customer Reviews for Italian Short Stories: Racconti Italiano (New Penguin Parallel Text Series): Italian
Useful, if lacking in taste... posted on 2003-11-16
This is a useful little book, well aimed at school-level students of written Italian. The stories are by well known names, some very famous (e.g. Primo Levi). As works of literature, they are not all particularly inspiring. However, if you have the stomach to read about the somewhat disgusting sex-lives of unclean peasants (as occurs in one story), then it is fine.

A strong point is the notes about idiomatic usages, some of which are very useful, and indeed illuminating about life in modern Italy. I can confirm the accuracy of these notes.

Recommendable, on the whole. Indeed, I hope that the author will continue, and give us further volumes.

 
Libro Recensione (Riassunto) posted on 2003-10-01
I read the English translations (I've just started learning Italian). The stories in the book are:

Il Lungo Viaggio/The Long Crossing (Leonardo Sciascia) 7/10
Italia/Italy (Goffredo Parise) 10
La Ragazza Con La Treccia/The Girl With The Plait (Dacia Maraini) 7
L'ultimo Canale/The Last Channel (Italo Calvino) 8
Lilít/Lilith (Primo Levi) 7
L'isola Di Komodo/The Island Of Komodo (Susanna Tamaro) 0
Donne In Piscina/Women By The Pool (Sandra Petrignani) 0
Un Cattivo Scolaro/A Naughty Schoolboy (Stefano Benni) 5
I Pomeriggi Del Sabato/Saturday Afternoons (Antonio Tabucchi) 8

Italia is an astonishingly beautiful story, L'ultimo Canale has lots of good ideas and Lilít is very funny.
