Description

Henry D. Spalding. This unique anthology encompasses 2,500 years of Italian wit & humor, defined as that which revolves around a subject of interest to Italians everywhere, in Italy & in other countries, & which is told by Italians to other Italians. The jokes, quips, witty anecdotes, short stories, plays, & proverbs selected & translated for this volume were taken from all periods of Italian literature, from the era of ancient Rome, through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance & post-Renaissance centuries, & on through the years to today’s U.S. These selections are a representation, rather than an exhaustive portrayal, but they reveal the warm & fun-loving nature of a creative & very likable people.
