Cavalleria Rusticana And Other Stories (2000)

About book Cavalleria Rusticana And Other Stories (2000)

OK, so not every story is a gem, but there are enough gems in this collection of Giovanni Verga short stories to easily score five stars. Verga has a voice all his own, which I first encountered years ago in his amazing novel "Under the Medlar Tree," about life in a small Sicilian village around the turn of the (last) century. The best stories in this volume take place in that same corner of the world, and he tells them simply and beautifully, despite the fact that the stories themselves are often harsh, even brutal. Probably not everybody's cup of tea, but I love this stuff.
