Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Novels of Italy Not easily would you have found a girl more winning in a tender sort than Giovanna Scarpa of Verona at one and twenty, fair-haired and flushed, delicately shaped, tall and pliant, as she then was. She had to suffer her hours Of ill report, but passes for near a saint now, in conse quence of certain miracles and theophanies done On her account, which it is my business to declare; before those she was considered (if at all) as a girl who would certainly have been married three years ago if dowries had not been of moment in the matter. In a city Of maids as pretty as they are modest - which no one will deny Verona to be there may have been some whose charms in either kind were equal to hers, while their estate was better in accord; but the speculation is idle. Giovanna, flower in the face as she was, fit to be nosegay on any hearth, posy for any man's breast, sprang in a very lowly soil. Like a blossoming reed she shot up to her inches by Adige, and one forgot the muddy bed owondering at the slim grace Of the shaft with its crown of yellow atop.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cart of Many Colors a Story of Italy Dear Schoolmate: - There is no need to ask you why we have an Italian story in the Schoolmate Books. I can already hear you saying: "Because an Italian discovered America, - Christopher Columbus, a Genoese, in 1492. And also because America takes its name from another Italian, - Amerigo Vespucci, a Florentine, who followed Columbus across the ocean in 1499." Yes; you know your lesson very well. These are surely the best of reasons for having an Italian story in our series. But they are not the only ones. Columbus and Vespucci are not the only Italians who ever discovered America.

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.
