Life in the Country by Giovanni Verga
Also including the well-known stories `She-Wolf' and `Foxfur', A Life in the Country captures, in an objective, non-judgemental prose, the difficult conditions and personal struggles of the peasant class in his native Sicily at the turn of the twentieth century.
I love Life in the Country, for reasons to do with undemonstrative compassion and self-abnegating understanding – qualities as abiding in great art as they are sporadic in day-to-day existence-- Paul Bailey
Giovanni Verga (1840–1922) was an Italian novelist, short-story writer and playwright, celebrated for realistic depictions of rural Sicily in the newly unified Italy.
