Vita dei campi egrave; una raccolta di novelle pubblicate da Verga a Milano nel 1880. Si compone di otto racconti: Cavalleria rusticana; La Lupa; Fantasticheria; Jeli il pastore; Rosso Malpelo; Lamante di Gramigna; Guerra di santi e Pentolaccia. Nelle edizioni successive venne inserita una nuova novella:Il come; il quando e il percheacute;; analisi delle vicende attraverso cui una donna oziosa e romantica sfiora ed evita il tradimento del marito. Questa storia; ambientata in Brianza; differisce di molto dalle altre che hanno come sfondo la Sicilia dei pastori; dei contadini; dei pescatori; dei minatori; che hanno dalla vita appena il necessario per vivere. Gran parte delle novelle ruotano intorno ai temi dellrsquo;amore e della passione; indagati nelle espressioni piugrave; accese e sanguigne; in quanto riflesso di una elementare comunitagrave; sociale.Con Vita dei Campi; Verga inaugura la stagione dei capolavori; mostrando profonda adesione alla tecnica verista del racconto.

Definitely a great purchase!4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Would Be Great If UpdatedBy Eric PerlinThe only edition of this book as of this writing is a "2007" edition. actually published in 2006. A lot more TV series and TV seasons have been released on DVD in the four years since its publication.Its great to have this book to tell you which DVD sets include complete episodes and which have altered or truncated episodes; which sets scramble the order of episodes (so you have to skip around to go from part 1 to part 2 of a 2-part episode); and what extras. if any. are included.However. no two people are going to agree on which TV series were good and which were lousy. so when the author praises or pans a particular TV series. you can take his opinions with a grain of salt. You already know what you like and dislike. People who buy a TV series on DVD (as opposed to movies) are usually very familiar with whatever series theyre buying.Besides authorized studio releases. this book also reviews some of the budget-priced public domain TV series releases. and lets readers know about the picture quality and the entertainment level of the episodes included. (Public domain DVDs select only episodes that are not copyrighted. and these can be any combination of the best or the worst episodes of a given TV series.)If this book could be updated to reflect every major TV series release on DVD as of 2010. I would rate it 5 stars. As it is. it is worth only 3 stars but still worth owning. The information thats missing is frustrating. but the information thats there is useful. If an updated edition is eventually published. buy that edition instead of this one! If not. settle for this 2007 edition; its better than nothing.
