Giovanni Verga,Carla Riccardi
In this richly colorful collection of stories, a masterwork of Naturalistic writing, Giovanni Verga attempts to capture the very essence of Sicilian life. Foreword by Paul Bailey. ,A licentious woman coerces her sonâ€“inâ€“law into agreeing to an illicit affair; a young boy, forced to work down in a mine to make a living, is robbed of his childhood and ultimately his life; a returning soldier toys with the affections of local girls and unleashes a sea of passion and vengeance from the village folkâ€”read together, these stories form a remarkable chronicle of Sicilian country life in all its harsh reality. Giovanni Verga (1840â€“1922) is Italyâ€™s foremost Naturalist writer; he is best remembered for ,The House by the Medlar Tree,, his saga of a family of Sicilian fishermen.
