This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cart of Many Colors a Story of Italy Signs over the little shops would be written in Italian words; and all the babies would have dark Italian eyes and Shy Italian smiles; and all the people in the street would talk and laugh and sing in Italian; and out of all the doorways would come the smell of Italian cooking. And sometimes, at night, the whole street would be decked and garlanded with little electric lights, red and white and green, to celebrate the birth day Of the Italian saint who used to be the guardian spirit of the old Village in Italy, and who of course had emigrated with his villagers when they came to the new world. The Italians are not the only people who get together in groups and colonies in Our Amer ican cities. The Poles, the Russian Jews, the Germans, the Chinese, all the lonely new immi grants do it. They feel strange and far away from their own lands in this new country, and they want to live next door to some one who understands their language and their Old life. But thoughtful Americans are beginning to see that these little patches of Poland, Germany, Italy, are almost as far from America as if they were still on the other Side of the ocean. Daily messages, by cable and wireless, flash between Italy and America, but between Little Italy and Riverside Drive, in New York, there is no wire less; Mars and the Earth are not more far apart in some ways. It is to help Old Ameri cans and new Americans to get together and understand each other that little books like this one are written, - old Americans whose grand parents were born here, and new Americans whose children will be born here.

This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Rome and Italy There are two kinds of. Art. In one the ideal comes into form by accretion, in the other by elimination.' You may lavishly apply pigments until you have built up your ideal, or you may cut away superfiuities until you have reached it. History may partake of either or both of these methods. It may be presented as a sumptuous picture on a generous canvas, rich in color and be wildering in detail, or it may be reached like a cameo, by cutting away every shining particle which obscures the clear simple out line, with perhaps just a sparing use of pig ment here and there to intensify the relief. Whichever method be chosen, failure is al ways imminent, and the difficulties prodigi ous. But as a general proposition, it is easier to say things, than to refrain from saying them, especially if one's theme be Rome and Italy, when no fragment seems superfluous. To tell the story of the Italian peninsula from the days of Eneas to the present time, in less than three hundred small pages, is not an easy task! Two daemons perpetually attend you, one whispering that you are omit ting matter essential to the narrative; the other insisting that you are amplifying en tirely too much. To which of these counsel lors the writer has given too much heed, must be left to the reader to Judge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The illustrations are chie y from photographs, in the prepara tion of which the Italians sustain their reputation for artistic excellence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Cities of Italy You cannot know what tender memories you have awakened in my mind! The reading of your book has been for me one of the charms of Paris. But it is not necessary to have been raised in Tuscany to enjoy your work. I finished the read ing at Turin. The interest increases as one proceeds. These impressions of a journey, appar ently detached thoughts upon a wide range of subjects, form a grand and unique picture. In it you have mingled historical associations, im pressions of art, descriptions of the country, with Social and philosophical theories. As a historian, I should be tempted to seek a quarrel with you on several points, and I must make some reserves upon certain rather too bold theories. But as an Italian, and as a man of letters, I cannot but congratulate myself and you upon the consummate ability with which you have given form and life to the diverse elements of which your material is composed, art and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Italians of to-Day The cordial reception given by the Press and the reading public generally to My Italian Year leads me to believe that some further description of Italian life may not, perhaps, be unwelcome even to the perusers of that volume, and also, possibly, to that larger British public which is not always in a position to provide itself with books of the kind. It is, indeed, to this larger public that I dedicate the following pages, and this not for the sake of popularity hunting, but from an earnest desire to add to my many efforts to contribute to a better and more intimate understanding of modern Italy and her people than at present obtains among the mass of my compatriots.

Download or read book Rome and Italy written by Livy and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-05-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books VI-X of Livy's monumental work trace Rome's fortunes from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to its emergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy, having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In this fascinating history, events are described not simply in terms of partisan politics, but through colourful portraits that bring the strengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as the noble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life. While Rome's greatest chronicler intended his history to be a memorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hoping that readers of his account could learn from the past ills and virtues of the city.
