Description

Dive into the captivating world of Giovanni Verga, a master of Italian verismo, whose poignant short stories bring to life the struggles and triumphs of working-class characters in 19th-century rural Sicily. Among these tales is Rustic Chivalry, or Cavalleria rusticana, which inspired the famous opera by Mascagni. Join us as we explore the rich tapestry of Sicilian life through Vergas insightful narratives. - Summary by Mary J
