With his novels, short stories, and plays, Giovanni Verga (1840-1922) achieved renown in the Italian verismo (realist) school of writing. This outstanding selection of 12 short stories -- most from the Sicilian writer's Vita dei campi (Rural Life) and Novelle rusticane (Rustic Stories) -- attests to his storytelling skills.Selections include "Nedda," a short story that initiated Verga's naturalistic depictions of Sicilian peasant life; the much-celebrated "Cavalleria Rusticana" (Rustic Chivalry), a tale of flirtation, jealousy, and a deadly duel; and "L'amante di Gramigna" (Gramigna's Mistress), a fascinating psychological study. The collection also features "Reverie," "Jeli the Herdsman," "Nasty Redhead," "The She-Wolf," "Pestilential Air," "Possessions," "The History of St. Joseph's Donkey," "Dark Bread," and "Liberty."
For this dual-language book, the editor has provided excellent new English translations on pages facing the original Italian text, as well as an informative Introduction and notes.

Easy to use.
Color: Grey, Size: 6 Panel
These are easy to put together and to use. We have used them with all the panels. We have also used them broke down into 2 and 3 panels. They work well for blocking views. They don't block noise or help quiet the room being used, however. Only bad thing about them. We use them for our Auxiliary meetings.

Easy to assemble. Still used for over a year 🙌🏾
Color: White, Size: 6 Panel
Everything is perfect! I would buy again in other colors and heights if I need additional separation in the basement.

Cheap Garbage
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel
This item is just cheap crap. Shoddily put together, shoddy materials, and looks cheap. If you’re just putting it in a space that you don’t really care that it’s cheap, then it might be fine for what you need. But don’t expect much.

Keeps areas separated
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
Item arrived quickly. I use this to keep my cats out of a part of the cellar. Works great. They've figured out how to slip through side. I made a panel that covers those spots. Still the best item to keep area separate.

Gives good coverage, nice dark panels. Easy to assemble, light product and sturdy. I will recommend this item! Completely covers the back shelves that are for employees only.
