Download or read book Early Italian Love Stories Classic Reprint written by Una Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Italian Love Stories But notwithstanding all that is lost in the re-telling, in a different language and at a different day, something remains, independent of both the old life and the old language, which the past has and can bestow even upon the unlettered readers of an alien country and an alien time, and that is the stories themselves, apart from their treatment and expression. Even retold their charm cannot, we are fain to hope, wholly evaporate. It is at all events possible to convey in some measure, by a simple recital of their contents, some idea of the positive genius for the picturesque in incident, episode, and surroundings, characteristic of the school to which they belong; of the blind intensity with which a single passion is painted, dominating and determining the living and dying of men and women of bygone generations; of the simple and undeviating directness of aim, good or evil, upon which the plots are constructed with such excellence of art that they seem a mere accident of instinct.

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.

To offer an apology for his pages, but rather to the people of the country with whom this volume is concerned. If a residence of over twenty years in Italy, and more than half a lifetime spent almost exclusively among Italians of all classes, have taught him nothing else, they have at least convinced him of the extreme difficulty Of reconciling the anglo-saxon spirit with that of the Latin races.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Something of Italy The present volume is only what it purports to be, Something, not much, about italy - just those glances at the country, its people, and usages which were casually obtained during a three months' excursion in the spring and summer of 1862, along with such observations as are suggested by the hopeful progress of those portions of the Italian peninsula lately nationalised, as well as by the dismal backwardness of those other parts - Rome and Venetia - still under an antiquated and relentless thraldom. The illustrations are chie y from photographs, in the prepara tion of which the Italians sustain their reputation for artistic excellence. It has to be added, that the substance of the volume appeared as detached papers in the Journal with which the.

Download or read book Italian Grammar Classic Reprint written by C. H. Grandgent and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Grammar This volume is the result of an attempt to put into convenient form and the smallest possible compass all the grammar that the ordinary student of Italian will need. Short as the book is, it con tains some paragraphs which beginners will probably skip: the longer lists of words and endings, and a great part of the chapters on suffixes and irregular verbs will be useful mainly for reference. The vocabularies cover the twenty-one exercises; they are not intended to include words explained in the notes, nor proper names that are exactly the same in Italian and in English. I have endeavored to make the book represent the Italian lan guage as it is spoken and written at the present day the exercises are taken chiefly from reading-books lately prepared for Tuscan schools. Still, I have tried to give also as many obsolete forms as students of the Italian classics will require.

It is always a peculiar pleasure to me to possess a memorial of the past, especially if that past has been marked by change of scene, or the calling forth of new feelings; but to be able thereby to recall vividly those scenes and feelings, so as to share them with those who have either experienced or can sympathize with them, makes such a record more valuable still. The painful part of leaving England and our own quiet home just now. is the consequent separation from our dear child, thankful though we are that she will be most kindly and tenderly cared for.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romances of Chivalry in Italian Verse: Selections The long paragraph just cited is a com pendium of the history of French epic matter in Italy. Through the phases which it indicates we shall now pass, noting, however, that once the Italians begin to develop the matter, the term epic, as applied to it, becomes rather conventional than exact.1 The lack of a truly national spirit, which, it would seem, ought to inform a genuinely epic composition, and the importance given to elements of romantic adventure, should incline us to term the Italian works romances of chivalry. Certainly they belong as much to the domain of novelistic fiction as to that of stem heroic narrative. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
