Clash of Civilisations Over an Elevator in Piazza Vittorio: She hid an incredible secret

Ho preso questa libro perché richiesto dalla professoressa di inglese di mia figlia.Rimasta contentissima ha una pagina in italiano e una in inglese. Si è trovata benissimo.

Boring

What a delightful insight into "who is Italian"? Sensitively and beautifully written. What's more, it's a page Turner.An unexpected delight.

I purchased this book because it will be required reading for the entering Cornell class of 2018. The Cornell alumni are encouraged to participate, including reviewing and answering the study questions. I found the book an interesting and highly relevant study of immigration and emigration issues while trying to solve a kidnapping and murder. The book also highlights the need for greater communications to cross cultural and socio-economic boundaries. Having recently been to Italy, I am reminded of the tour guide instruction on the cultural and dialect differences of former Italian city states in Venice, Milan, Florence, Rome and Naples, These differences are exposed in the book as well as the cultural differences of other countries. Although Italian unification is just over 100 years old, the book highlights many issues still confounding their assimilation into one Italy and mirror our own experiment in democracy. The author's style of narrating the book from each character's point of view may be a challenge for some; I found myself needing to take notes, e.g., motive, alibi, etc., like the crime boards on television, to solve the mysteries.

Un libro molto interessante per capire la società diversificata di oggi. Spiega in maniera molto intima come ognuno può ritrarre un altro secondo degli stereotipi.
