With his novels, short stories, and plays, Giovanni Verga (1840-1922) achieved renown in the Italian verismo (realist) school of writing. This outstanding selection of 12 short stories -- most from the Sicilian writer's Vita dei campi (Rural Life) and Novelle rusticane (Rustic Stories) -- attests to his storytelling skills.
Selections include "Nedda," a short story that initiated Verga's naturalistic depictions of Sicilian peasant life; the much-celebrated "Cavalleria Rusticana" (Rustic Chivalry), a tale of flirtation, jealousy, and a deadly duel; and "L'amante di Gramigna" (Gramigna's Mistress), a fascinating psychological study. The collection also features "Reverie," "Jeli the Herdsman," "Nasty Redhead," "The She-Wolf," "Pestilential Air," "Possessions," "The History of St. Joseph's Donkey," "Dark Bread," and "Liberty."
For this dual-language book, the editor has provided excellent new English translations on pages facing the original Italian text, as well as an informative Introduction and notes.

The daily shoe.
Size: 13, Color: Black/Anthracite
Great daily running shoe! It took approximately 3 weeks to fully break in, but now they feel incredibly comfortable. My feet stay nice and cool throughout the day. I went on a light waterfall hike and the water resistance held up fine. The shoes look great; in direct sunlight they look a little dark blue, but they are still perfect for work.

Nice fit, classy looking sweater
Size: Medium, Color: Navy Blue
I bought this for my husband because now that he is retired and lost weight, he needs casual clothing to go out and socialize. This sweater is both classic and sporty, working well in a golf course or a night out. It is soft, washes well and fit perfectly. I am ordering more in different styles and colors. It is light weight and not bulky.

Nice sweater
I wasn't sure what to think of this sweater. It looked nice, but I don't know. Then I wore it out one night. I totally got laid that night. Highly recommend.
