Good Aid to Learning Italian
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I find the book a great help to my self-study of Italian. The translaters stick quite faithfully to the original text, and the stories are short and varied to sustain the readers' interest. I have no regrets getting the book.
an excellent, representative sample of Italian short stories

The eight stories in this collection by Moravia, Pavese, Pratolini and other modern writers, have been selected as representative of contemporary Italian writing. The book presents the original Italian text and, on the opposite page, an English translation in a literal style, serving as an aid to reading the Italian more than as something to be read for its own sake. there are notes & biographies of the writers to help the student of Italian. The volume can also be used by Italians to improve their English skills.
