Novelle lombarde

Twelve stories of mountain villages and small towns in Lombardy, from a courtship arranged after dark to a winter tale, a village feast and the troubles of old Papa Gedeone. Peasants, woodcutters, priests and shopkeepers appear in sketches that move between humour and pathos. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
