The Penguin Book of Italian Short Stories
The Penguin Book of Italian Short Stories | Jhumpa Lahiri
1 post | 4 to read
This landmark collection brings together forty writers that reflect over a hundred years of Italy's vibrant and diverse short story tradition, from the birth of the modern nation to the end of the twentieth century. Poets, journalists, visual artists, musicians, editors, critics, teachers, scientists, politicians, translators: the writers that inhabit these pages represent a dynamic cross section of Italian society, their powerful voices resonating through regional landscapes, private passions and dramatic political events. This wide-ranging selection curated by Jhumpa Lahiri includes well known authors such as Italo Calvino, Elsa Morante and Luigi Pirandello alongside many captivating new discoveries. More than a third of the stories featured in this volume have been translated into English for the first time, several of them by Lahiri herself.

I uploaded a video to my YouTube channel, talking about all the books we found on our vacation to Italy. This was the second edition. I am maybe most excited by this edition that I found.
