Modern Italian Stories (PocketBook)

Each of the stories here translated was selected because it seemed worth presenting to an English public. Other considerations have been secondary and incidental. As the collection took shape, the question arose of the variety of length and treatment the representation of this or that author, this or that period of the present cnetury. 

The theatre of the present book is the whole of Italy; the angles of approach vary from that of the Socialist Silone to that of the Catholic Santucci, from the exuberant satire of Bacchelli to the subtlety of Bontempelli and introspective analysis of Moravia.
