Book excerpt: Studying abroad in Germany embarks Paul Welch on an adventure he will never forget. From the rigors and joys of learning a new language and set of friends to traveling in his free time, the experiences of the year both open his eyes and confirm his deepest held beliefs. The biggest adventure and reward of all, though, proves to be love. A month before classes start, Welch arrives in the Bavarian town of Erlangen to take an intensive language course at the Friedrich-Alexander Universitt. Here, he makes quick friends with many other students throughout Europe. One of with whom, Maria, he hits it off amazingly well. But just as he is about to ask her out, he learns that she is dating one of the other guys in the course, Tommy. Despite the odds against it, Luke has the conviction that he and Maria will have their chance together. Before everyone from the language course goes their separate ways, Maria invites Paul to come to Sardinia during his spring break to visit her and another friend from the course. He decides not to say anything to her at the time but makes a commitment to himself to follow through and go visit her in the spring. Paul moves on to Darmstadt, where he will be studying for the next year and slowly adapts to his new life. Months pass, friends are made, new adventures are had. While his zeal for visiting Maria has been tempered by the question of how a short visit can lead to something lasting, he follows through on the commitment to himself to go and visit her.

Download or read book Under a Sardinian Sky written by Sara Alexander and published by Kensington Books. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A beautifully told story about one woman’s determination to exorcise the sorrows of her family’s past. It brought tears to my eyes more than once—always a good sign. I look forward to reading more novels by Sara Alexander.” —Holly Chamberlin, author of Home for the Summer Set against the beautiful backdrop of post-World War II Sardinia, Sara Alexander’s evocative novel is a sweeping story of star-crossed romance between an American lieutenant and a local girl. Sometimes a family’s deepest silences hide the most important secrets. For Mina, a London-based travel writer, the enigmatic silence surrounding her aunt Carmela has become a personal obsession. Carmela disappeared from her Italian hometown long ago and is mentioned only in fragments and whispers. Mina has resisted prying, respectful of her family’s Sardinian reserve. But now, with her mother battling cancer, it’s time to learn the truth. In 1952, Simius is a busy Sardinian town surrounded by fertile farms and orchards. Carmela Chirigoni, a farmer’s daughter and talented seamstress, is engaged to Franco, son of the area’s wealthiest family. Everyone agrees it’s a good match. But Carmela’s growing doubts about Franco’s possessiveness are magnified when she meets Captain Joe Kavanagh. Joe, an American officer stationed at a local army base, is charismatic, intelligent, and married. Hired as his interpreter, Carmela resolves to ignore her feelings, knowing that any future together must bring upheaval and heartache to both families. As Mina follows the threads of Carmela’s life to uncover her fate, she will discover a past still deeply alive in the present, revealing a story of hope, sacrifice, and extraordinary love. “Like Sardinia’s Emerald Coast, Sara Alexander’s Under A Sardinian Sky will dazzle you with its glittering descriptions of the Mediterranean island, its exquisite culinary treasures, and authentic, beautiful people. But it is the heroine Carmela’s courage and heartbreaking choices that will leave you the most enchanted and racing through the novel to learn her extraordinary fate.” —Rosanna Chiofalo, author of Rosalia’s Bittersweet Pastry Shop

Download or read book Leaving Sardinia written by Hans Ulrich Treichel and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2004 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contemporary habit of laughing at pain may lead to this devastatingly critical short novel being called a comedy. Not that the trials of its grad-student protagonist, Albert, aren't ludicrous. A German enraptured with Italy, he fails ignominiously in his attempts to live in Rome, only to discover a bit of Italy--Sardinia, to be precise--back in Berlin: a harshly lit, sparsely patronized bar in the backroom of which a party of male regulars endlessly gambles. Serving them in back, and Albert and whomever else out front, is beautiful, noncommittal Elena, with whom Albert becomes laconically involved. The relationship persists despite competition for Elena, and when she, having saved enough to set up as a cosmetologist, goes home, Albert goes, too. But it doesn't work out because--and here is the dismal reality that Treichel's cool dissection of his feckless protagonist discloses--Albert doesn't know what love is. He just knows sex, and it isn't enough to build a life around. One closes the book wondering to what extent we aren't all Alberts.

Download or read book Physiology of Love and Other Writings written by Paolo Mantegazza and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2008-02-16 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physician, anthropologist, travel writer, novelist, politician, Paolo Mantegazza (1831-1910) was probably the most eclectic figure in late-nineteenth century Italian culture. A prolific writer, Mantegazza can be seen as a forerunner of what has come to be known as cultural studies on account of his interdisciplinary approach, his passionate blend of scientific and literary elements in his writings, and his ability to transcend the boundaries between 'high' and 'low' culture. Though extremely popular during his lifetime both in Italy and abroad, Mantegazza's works have not been made available in a significant English language compilation. This volume is a representative overview of Mantegazza's key works, many of them translated into English for the first time. In addition to the unabridged Physiology of Love (1873), a veritable best-seller at the time of its initial publication, this compilation features selections from Mantegazza's writings on medicine, his travelogues, his epistolary novel One Day in Madeira (1868), and his treatise on materialistic aesthetics. Replete with an extensive and informative introduction by the editor, The Physiology of Love and Other Writings also excerpts Mantegazza's works of science fiction, memoir, and social and cultural criticism. As an anthology of the works of Paolo Mantegazza, a writer of diverse topical orientations, this volume is also an account of the circulation of ideas and cross-fertilization of disciplines that defined a crucial period of Italian and European cultural life.

Download or read book The Queen of Darkness and other stories written by Grazia Deledda and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2023-03-24 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient traditions of Sardinia feature heavily in this early collection. The stories collected in The Queen of Darkness, published in 1902 shortly after Deledda’s marriage and move to Rome, reflect her transformation from little-known regional writer to an increasingly fêted and successful mainstream author. The two miniature psycho-dramas that open the collection are followed by stories of Sardinian life in the remote hills around her home town of Nuoro. The stark but beautiful countryside is a backdrop to the passions, misadventures and injustices which shape the lives of its rugged but all too human inhabitants. Graham Andersopn's translation was longlisted for The Women in Translation Prize.
