This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of Italian Court Life Italia Adorata. These two words seem to me to best express the universal sentiments of all the English-speaking people, and indeed of all the races of the civilized world, toward the country to which we all turn with a common love and admiration, - for its natural beauties given of God, for its great and historic past, for its present and heroic re-birth into the world of great nations, - and last, but not least, for the charm and rare intelligence of the Italian people. Personally I owe to my Italian friends, for whom I have a real affection, an expression of deep appreciation for their many and oft-repeated kindnesses to me whenever I have been in Italy, or wherever I have met them elsewhere in the world. "The heart is good," as our red Indians say, and the heart of an Italian friend is very good always, I have found.

He turned crimson, puffed out his cheeks with rage, and squared his shoulders in fierce determination to crush me. Those about him scowled on me darkly and muttered curses on my insolence. I believe, Del Mayno said scornfully, that you are the English condottiere who fights the Prince's battles for hire. That is all I know concerning you. As for your name, it may be John Hawkwood or Giovanni della Guglia - do you think I have no better use for my thoughts than the remembering of how you style yourself? What are you doing here before me, pray? Did you think, because you-heard me speak your name, that I called you? Not I.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young Italy Laelius is attached to the spot, not merely on ao count of its charms of nature and climate, but because it is endeared to him by many associations, and the memory of the loved and lost. Moreover, the whole of the more modern portion of Cannes claims his paternity. Since he first settled here, land has risen greatly in value, and it is now sold at an exorbitant price. Owing to the division of property, the possessions have been divided and subdivided, until they represent, in.many instances, the most infinitesimal product of an estate. A man possesses a certain number of orange trees, sometimes as few as half-a-dozen a small grove of Olives; or an aca cia row; but these small possessions lead to great assertions of dignity on the part.of the owners. A gentleman with a garden of shrubs will tell you, Qu'il a été promener dans ses terres, ' and reposes under the shade of his tallest tree as proudly as any Old Roman Catholic house of Lancashire be neath their glorious gothic roof.

If the weather is what it should be in late summer you will have a fresh breeze on the starboard quarter from ten in the morning till four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Sail straight across the wide gulf of Salerno, and when you are over give the Licosa Point a wide berth, for the water is shallow and there are reefs along shore. Moreover there is no light on Licosa Point, and many a good ship has gone to pieces there in dark winter nights when the surf is rolling in. If the wind holds you may run on to Palinuro in a long day before the evening calm comes on, and the water turns oily and full of pink and green and violet streaks, and the sun settles down in the north-west.

Download or read book The Book of the Courtier Classic Reprint written by Baldesar Castiglione and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Courtier The popularity long enjoyed by this Old book, the place that it holds in Italian literature, and the fact that it is almost inaccessible to English readers, seem to furnish sufficient reason for a new translation. The art Of the Italian Renaissance delights us by its delicate and gentle beauty, and yet we know that life during this period was Often gross and violent. TO understand this, we must remember that art is more the expres sion Of the ideal than Of the actual, and that men's ideals are loftier than their practice. Castiglione gives utterance to the finest aspirations of his time. His pages will lack interest only when mankind ceases to be interesting to man, and will reward study so long as the past shall continue to instruct the present and the future.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lorenzo Benoni: Or Passages in the Life of an Italian And yet I had only a word to say to be free; but I would not say it. In the partition that divided my prison from the dining;room there was a small grated window, through which I could hear every word that was spoken on the other side. And more than once I had heard the canon broadly hint, during dinner-time, that pardon should be granted provided it were asked. But I was too highly exasperated at the treat ment I received to bring myself to ask forgiveness, and my uncle's hints dropped all unheeded. My thoughts were bent another way; plans of escape to Genoa were confusedly forming in my head. One night I went even as far as the house door, and had my hand on the latch; but my heart failed me.

Download or read book Rome and Italy written by Livy and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-05-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books VI-X of Livy's monumental work trace Rome's fortunes from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to its emergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy, having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In this fascinating history, events are described not simply in terms of partisan politics, but through colourful portraits that bring the strengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as the noble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life. While Rome's greatest chronicler intended his history to be a memorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hoping that readers of his account could learn from the past ills and virtues of the city.
