Synopsis

Racconti di oggi offers eight short stories selected specifically for the student who is ready to begin reading literature. The readings are divided thematically into four sections, each with an introduction to the theme and followed by comprehension exercises and a photo essay. The themes--city life, family life, human relations, and the effect of progress on society--were selected to pique student interest in contemporary Italian literature.
