Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Romance Writers An attempt to retrace modern romance through story, tale, fable, epic, ballad, and legend to its earliest origines in the dawn of civilization is outside the purpose of this work. Indeed, from the earliest imaginative narrative down to the tales of Daphnis and Chloe and of the Golden Ass, there was no real prototype of our novel. Doubtless the romance of the European Middle Ages, with its stories of chivalry and tales of love and adventure, was foreshadowed by the Greek and Latin epics. Those stories of the wanderings of Ulysses and of AEneas, of the siege of Troy, and of the search for the Golden Fleece. Doubtless also the Milesian Tales, recounting chiefly love in its grosser form, were the precedents of the Italian novelle and French fabliaux and chansons de geste.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a woman who writes. She recounts the last hours of consciousness of her man. Leaving nothing out, she describes the moments prior to an incident, particularly her bitter loneliness. These reflections recorded in a diary have a very clear purpose. In a succession of memories, Beatrise gives out precious information. She claims to be a foreigner, confesses to love Italy, and hints at how important this man was in her life. She does this by averring that she was his lover, his childhood friend, and hinting at certainly having been much more. She writes of having had a child with Marco, but also of being the stepmother of his son, a young man with whom she falls in love and who will soon enter the world of adolescence, the fruit of Marco's and Marianne's marriage. Marco was a correspondent for a famous magazine in Britain; Marianne teaches cello at a prestigious college in London, while Beatrise is a woman behind schedule, still in school, and she must work very hard to make ends meet. Theirs has been a troublesome love triangle, an exciting and dangerous game that laid bare human vulnerabilities, but also a golden opportunity to achieve love.

Download or read book Extra Virgin written by Annie Hawes and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2002-04-02 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1983, a pale Annie Hawes and her equally pale sister leave England for the sun-drenched olive groves of a small Italian town in Liguria. With fantasies of handsome tanned men and swimming in the sea urging them on, they are hired to work for ten weeks to graft roses -- of which they have little knowledge -- along the Italian Riviera, board and lodging included. But none of the men seem to be under forty, and Ligurians have particular ideas about life, including swimming ("To go swimming in seawater outside the month of July or August is even worse for your health than drinking cappuccino after twelve noon!"). But Annie and her sister are captivated by San Pietro's quirkiness and beauty, and suddenly their brief stay stretches into years, as they are bemused, charmed, and ultimately accepted by the eccentric inhabitants of their adopted home. Resonating with captivating verve and humor, Extra Virgin dishes up a sumptuous sampling of Italian life from an irresistible new voice.
