Customer Rating: 

I rated it thee stars because I didn't like the stories much. Unsatisfactory endings for me, some dumb stories. But it is ok, especially as a review or if you want to improve your Italian further after reading better dual language books. I'm usually please (and I am with this one) with almost any dual language book, even if I don't like the stories or translations, because for me the books are to improve my knowledge of the foreign language. But some books are boring, dumb, and otherwise less desireable than those better written and interesting.

Luigi Pirandello, the 1934 Nobel laureate for literature,created some delightful and surprising short stories of the southern regions of Italy.
Supported by a careful English translation on the opposite pages it is possible for the intermediate level student of Italian to get a taste of real literature.
Because of Pirandello's place in the literary world, this book should be added to every student's library.

Outstanding book for the intermediate Italian student. Put together well.
