Book excerpt: First Published in a single volume in 1883, the stories collected in Little Novels of Sicily are drawn from the Sicily of Giovanni Verga's childhood, reported at the time to be the poorest place in Europe. Verga's style is swift, sure, and implacable; he plunges into his stories almost in midbreath, and tells them with a stark economy of words. There's something dark and tightly coiled at the heart of each story, an ironic, bitter resolution that is belied by the deceptive simplicity of Verga's prose, and Verga strikes just when the reader's not expecting it. Translator D. H. Lawrence surely found echoes of his own upbringing in Verga's sketches of Sicilian life: the class struggle between property owners and tenants, the relationship between men and the land, and the unsentimental, sometimes startlingly lyric evocation of the landscape. Just as Lawrence veers between loving and despising the industrial North and its people, so too Verga shifts between affection for and ironic detachment from the superstitious, uneducated, downtrodden working poor of Sicily. If Verga reserves pity for anyone or anything, it is the children and the animals, but he doesn't spare them. In his experience, it is the innocents who suffer first and last and always.

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.

Book excerpt: " I Malavoglia" is considered Giovanni Verga's masterpiece and a cornerstone of the verismo movement. Published in 1881, the novel provides a detailed and poignant portrayal of a Sicilian fishing family's struggles against poverty, misfortune, and societal changes. " I Malavoglia" is a seminal work in the verismo literary tradition, influencing subsequent generations of writers who sought to depict life with similar realism and social critique. The novel's portrayal of the struggles of the lower classes resonated with readers and critics alike, earning Verga a prominent place in Italian literature. The novel has been adapted into various forms, including plays and films, most notably the 1948 film La Terra Trema directed by Luchino Visconti, which brought Verga's vision to a broader audience. Verga's work continues to be studied for its literary merit and its insightful commentary on social issues. His ability to capture the essence of Sicilian culture and the universal human experiences of hardship and resilience ensures that The House by the Medlar-Tree remains a significant and enduring work.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, we present a compilation of short stories by the Italian writer Giovanni Verga, one of the greatest exponents of the literary movement of verismo, which emerged in Italy at the end of the 19th century and was characterized by the precise and objective description of social, political, and cultural reality. Verga's stories portray life and culture in southern Italy, particularly in Sicily, where he was born and raised. His works are deeply rooted in local culture and traditions, and explore themes such as poverty, injustice, love, and the struggle for life. This collection includes some of Verga's most famous and acclaimed short stories, such as Rosso Malpelo, The She-Wolf (La lupa), Nedda, Pentolaccia, Rustic Chivalry (Cavalleria rusticana), The Robbery (La roba), War of Saints (Guerra di Santi), Liberty (Libertà), The Story of Saint Joseph's Donkey (Storia dell'asino di S. Giuseppe), Malaria, Jeli the Shepherd (Jeli il pastore), and The Lover of Gramigna (L'amante di Gramigna) and Another Flood (Un'altra inondazione). Each of these stories offers a penetrating insight into the life and emotions of ordinary people, showing the richness and complexity of the human experience. With his precise and realistic prose, he offers a vivid and moving portrait of life in southern Italy at the end of the 19th century, and his work continues to be a lasting influence on Italian and world literature.

Book excerpt: This is the first English translation of Verga's novel La Storia di una Capinera and is the official tie-in with the Zeffirelli film Sparrow. Set in 1854 in a Sicily devastated by a cholera epidemic. Sparrow tells of a love that can never be; the brief existence of a girl, forced to become a nun, who falls in love with a young man, but who, on returning to the convent, goes insane. Zeffirelli chose to film Sparrow as he was intrigued by the need for idealised and absolute love. "It is a challenge for me to tell of 'The Insanity of Absolute Love' with its emotional yearnings and enchantment, its exchanges of furtive glances and stolen caresses".
