Synopsis

THE EIGHT STORIES IN THIS COLLECTION, BY MORAVIA, PAVESE, PRATOLINI, AND OTHER MODERN WRITERS, HAVE BEEN SELECTED AS BEING REPRESENTATIVE OF CONTEMPORARY ITALIAN WRITING. THE ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS PROVIDED ARE LITERAL RATHER THAN LITERARY, AND THERE ARE NOTES AND BIOGRAPHIES OF THE WRITERS TO HELP THE STUDENT OF ITALIAN. HOWEVER, THE VOLUME CAN ALSO BE HELPFUL TO ITALIANS, WHO CAN IMPROVE THEIR ENGLISH BY STUDYING A STRICT RENDERING OF STORIES WITH WHICH THEY MAY ALREADY BE FAMILIAR
