Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most famous Sicilian short-stories by Giovanni Verga translated into English. "The charm of the six short stories bound up under the inclusive title of Under the Shadow of Etna lies in their reflection of Sicilian scenery, life, and character, with which all of them deal. They are translations from the Italian of Giovanni Verga by the practiced hand of Nathan Haskell Dole, and smoking Etna overhangs them all as does Fujiyama the romances of Japan. One of the six, "Cavalleria Rusticana," has already been made widely familiar by the musical setting of it in Mascagni's opera. All are tales of human passion, love, sin, and sorrow, grimly real sometimes, slight in touch, dramatic, artistic, now and then sunshiny, and full of realism." -The Literary World: A Monthly Review of Current Literature, Vol. 2 "The Sicilian tales are selected as but representing the varied work of Verga, a "realist" in literature. The stories are strong and brilliant, and Mr. Dole's translation pellucid as it should be." -The Book Buyer, Volume 13

Download or read book RUDYARD KIPLING PREMIUM COLLECTION: His Greatest Works in One Volume (Illustrated) written by Rudyard Kipling and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 4978 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rudyard Kipling's 'Rudyard Kipling Premium Collection' is a literary treasure trove encompassing the greatest works of one of the most esteemed writers of the British Empire. This comprehensive volume includes some of Kipling's most iconic pieces, such as 'The Jungle Book,' 'Kim,' and 'Just So Stories,' all accompanied by beautiful illustrations that enhance the reading experience. Kipling's writing style is marked by vivid storytelling, rich imagery, and a deep understanding of the human condition, making his works resonate with readers of all ages. Set against the backdrop of late 19th and early 20th century British colonialism, Kipling's narratives offer a complex portrayal of the complexities of power, identity, and belonging. Through his diverse characters and settings, Kipling weaves tales that are both entertaining and thought-provoking, offering readers a glimpse into the intricate fabric of the Empire during that era. Rudyard Kipling, a Nobel Prize laureate, drew inspiration for his works from his own experiences growing up in British India and later journeying around the world. His unique perspective as an outsider looking in on the imperial project informed his nuanced storytelling, which often challenged imperialist assumptions and celebrated the diversity of cultures and peoples he encountered. Kipling's enduring legacy as a literary giant continues to captivate and inspire readers across the globe, cementing his reputation as a master storyteller with a keen eye for detail and a deep reverence for the complexities of human nature. I highly recommend 'Rudyard Kipling Premium Collection' to any reader interested in exploring the intricacies of British colonial literature and the enduring legacy of one of its most celebrated authors. This comprehensive volume offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Kipling's storytelling prowess, providing a captivating reading experience that showcases the depth and breadth of his literary achievements.

Download or read book The Classic Short Story, 1870-1925 written by Florence Goyet and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to construct a nuanced narrative or complex character in the constrained form of the short story has sometimes been seen as the ultimate test of an author's creativity. Yet during the time when the short story was at its most popular - the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries - even the greatest writers followed strict generic conventions that were far from subtle. This expanded and updated translation of Florence Goyet's influential La Nouvelle, 1870-1925: Description d'un genre à son apogée (Paris, 1993) is the only study to focus exclusively on this classic period across different continents. Ranging through French, English, Italian, Russian and Japanese writing - particularly the stories of Guy de Maupassant, Henry James, Giovanni Verga, Anton Chekhov and Akutagawa Ry?nosuke - Goyet shows that these authors were able to create brilliant and successful short stories using the very simple 'tools of brevity' of that period. In this challenging and far-reaching study, Goyet looks at classic short stories in the context in which they were read at the time: cheap newspapers and higher-end periodicals. She demonstrates that, despite the apparent intention of these stories to question bourgeois ideals, they mostly affirmed the prejudices of their readers. In doing so, her book forces us to re-think our preconceptions about this 'forgotten' genre.

Download or read book The House by the Medlar-Tree written by Giovanni Verga and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The House by the Medlar Tree is a realist work concerning Sicilian life and the dangers of economic and social turmoil. The story focuses on the hardworking and happy Malavoglia family that borrows money from a local lender against unreceived cargo, they wish to resell. When it is lost at sea, the family attempts everything in their power to repay the debt. Several setbacks follow as the family faces trouble from every quarter. Whatever dreams the family formulated over three generations, they witness them destroyed and struggle to make ends meet. This story of the family of fishermen is set in Aci Trezza, a small Sicilian village near Catania, where life revolves around constant gossip about honor, money, and marriage. The novel maintains a choral element and portrays characters that are united by the same culture but divided by ancient feuds. The tone is kept light through the irony with which the author depicts the characters and their peculiarities. The story is a remarkable portrayal of the life of an unlucky family in a Sicilian village and is full of sorrow, loss, warmth, and redemption.
