In a picturesque Sicilian fishing village of the nineteenth century, the Malavoglia family stakes everything on a cargo of lupin nuts, hoping for a prosperous outcome. When disaster strikes and the cargo is lost at sea, a cascade of misfortunes befalls the family, leading to heart-wrenching tragedies. Revered as a masterpiece of social commentary within Italy yet overlooked by the broader world, The House by the Medlar Tree stands shoulder to shoulder with the works of Zola, Dickens, and Balzac among the greats of European literature. This poignant tale also inspired Luchino Viscontis 1948 ...

"I Malavoglia," il romanzo più conosciuto ed apprezzato di Giovanni Verga, è la storia di una famiglia di pescatori di umili origini nel contesto della Sicilia rurale di fine '800.

The short stories of Giovanni Verga, one of the leading authors of Italian verismo, or realism, tell mostly of working-class characters in rural, 19th-century Sicily. One of these stories, "Rustic Chivalry," or "Cavalleria rusticana," was the basis for the opera of the same name by Mascagni. - Summary by Mary J

Story2
Le "Novelle rusticane" rappresentano uno dei momenti più alti e fortemente originali dello sperimentalismo narrativo del tardo Ottocento italiano. Pubblicate per la prima volta a Torino dall'editore Casanova nel 1883, rappresentano il secondo scritto verista di Verga. L'autore siciliano non solo affronta il tema della "roba", tema a lui carissimo e centrale nella sua poetica, ma introduce anche una serie di tematiche sociali ed economiche della Sicilia di fine '800.

Story0
Il romanzo narra la storia di una famiglia di pescatori che vive e lavora ad Aci Trezza, un piccolo paese siciliano nei pressi di Catania. Ha un'impostazione corale e rappresenta personaggi uniti dalla stessa cultura ma divisi dalle loro diverse scelte di vita, soverchiate comunque da un destino tragico ed inevitabile. L'autore adotta la tecnica dell'impersonalità, riproducendo alcune caratteristiche del dialetto e adattandosi quanto più possibile al punto di vista dei differenti personaggi, rinunciando così all'abituale mediazione del narratore.

Story1
Ad Aci Trezza, nel catanese, vive la laboriosa famiglia Toscano, soprannominata Malavoglia. "I Malavoglia" è il primo romanzo dell'Italia unita, che con le sue nuove prospettive di vita preme sulle società tradizionali, determinando tensioni e disfacimento. Così nel finale del romanzo, nelle colpe di un progresso che travolge e di una modernità che sradica, non va letta una saga popolare, ma una tragedia contemporanea.

Story0
Giovanni Verga pubblicò nel 1880 "Vita dei campi", un lavoro davvero rivoluzionario. Descrive le vite della gente comune in Sicilia. Verga narra la vita pericolosa dei pescatori, la solitudine dei giovani pastori, i drammi quotidiani in una miniera e la gelosia omicida di un contadino siciliano. Giovanni Verga (1840-1922) fu un autore italiano. Considerato il maggior esponente della corrente letteraria del verismo, portò la letteratura italiana in una direzione più naturalistica. Nato e cresciuto in Sicilia, si trasferì a Milano nel 1872, dove scrisse "Vita dei campi".

La storia di poveri pescatori in lotta col mare e con la gente del proprio paese, ne I Malavoglia si racconta di un «mare amaro», infido e avaro: Padron 'Ntoni e la sua famiglia, a causa di un naufragio che travolge la piccola barca e con essa il commercio dei lupini, sono costretti a un debito che porterà con sé altre calamità, segnando un lento ma inesorabile declino fatto di lutti, umiliazioni e sacrifici quotidiani, in cui il destino sembra accanirsi contro ogni tentativo di riscatto. Un grande classico della letteratura verista narrato dalla voce di Letizia Lucchini.

Sie war groß und mager, aber ihr Busen war voll und üppig, trotzdem sie nicht mehr jung war. Sie hatte ein bleiches Gesicht, als ob sie stets die Malaria gehabt hätte, ihre großen Augen waren stets pechschwarz und ihre Lippen gar frisch und rot. Im Dorfe nannte man sie die Lupa, die Wölfin, denn sie war unersättlich in allem. Die Weiber bekreuzigten sich, wenn sie sie allein und in sich gekehrt vorbeigehen sahen, mit dem schleppenden und lauernden Gang einer hungernden Wölfin, denn im Handumdrehen behexte sie die jungen Burschen und Ehemänner.

Pentolaccia war ein Sonderling, einer von jenen närrischen Leuten, die das gerade Gegenteil von dem machen, was alle guten Christenmenschen tun, die gewohnt sind, ihr Brot in Ruh und Frieden zu verzehren. Wenn man von allen gerne im Dorfe sprechen will, die irgendetwas Besonderes an sich hatten, so kann man Pentolaccia nicht beiseitelassen, denn über ihn ist gar vieles zu sagen und durchaus nichts Schönes, was man schon aus dem hässlichen Spitznamen ersehen kann, den ihm die Gevatter beigelegt (Kochtopf).

War die Welt nicht groß genug zum Kriegführen? Mussten sie gerade hierher kommen, um einander tot zu schießen? Gerade hierher auf dieses kleine Fleckchen Erde?! Zehn Meilen im Umkreise nichts als Schmerz und Elend, Trübsal und Trauer. Auf der Straße, zwischen den Hecken, hinter den Mauern wurden Menschen und Tiere dahingeschlachtet und der Humus auf den Feldern und in den Gärten bestand zum größten Teil aus Menschenknochen. Noch Monate nachher stieß man oftmals mit der Schaufel auf Schädel und Gebeine von ehrlichen Christenmenschen.
