Summary: Good short stories for AP Italian
Comment: Bought for daughter's AP Italian course. Nice in that it is a dual-language book.

Customer Rating:

Summary: really neat
Comment: It is hard to find dual language books, and they aren't always good when you do find them. This one is worth it. Others describe the contents well. Worth the money, if you have the interest in learning Italian.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Good idea, but for mid-level and up.
Comment: This is not a beginners book. I thought 'what a great idea', but the italian is old classical literature, not modern day italian. So its not so easy. My italian friend said this is not the best for lower level. Its like doing the shalespeare in italian translation. I'm keeping it for later when I get more classes under my belt.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Not for beginners!
Comment: I give this book a low rating because it is advertised as suitable for students of Italian, but is simply not a good tool for beginning students. I am a beginner student who can speak basic Italian fairly well, but I had much difficulty with this book! It actually worsened my Italian some with confusing, outdated words.

My significant other is from Italy. After speaking with him (a very well educated person who attended liceo classico - Italian high school focusing on grammar, literature, history, and philosophy) and other Italians, I found that the stories in this book are for very advanced students who can already speak Italian.

Many of the words in these old stories are no longer used in speaking today. If you are trying to learn Italian, do not buy this book. If you are fluent in Italian, but your first language is English, and you want to learn about Italian history and culture, this book is good for you.

Customer Rating:

Summary: good tool
Comment: This book is a good learning tool with the pages being laid out well and translating from english to italian left to right.
