Designed for the language student as well as the lover of fine literature, this convenient dual-language book features eleven great short stories -- each one appearing in the original Italian, with vivid and accurate English translations on facing pages.Robert A. Hall, Jr., Professor Emeritus of Linguistics and Italian, Cornell University, has compiled a stimulating and representative collection ranging from a 14th-century selection from Boccaccio's The Decameron to Alberto Moravia's Competition, a 20th-century view of lower-and middle-class Italian life. Among the other works are Machiavelli's Belfagor; Story of the Devil Who Took a Wife, Matteo Bandello's reflections of 16th-century morals in Madonna Zilia, Giovanni Verga's objective portrayal of lower-class Sicilian life in Rosso Malpelo, Gabriele d'Annunzio's revelations of a depraved peasantry in The Idolaters, Luigi Pirandello's fascinating study of hypocritical social attitudes in The Tight Frock Coat, as well as equally significant works by Antonio Fogazzaro, Renato Fucini, Aldo Palazzeschi, and Corrado Alvaro.
Arranged chronologically so that the growth of the literary art may be followed, as well as enjoyed, each story is prefaced by a concise biographical/critical introduction. Also included are linguistic and cultural notes, a valuable Italian-English vocabulary, study questions on each story, and an informative essay on Italian fiction. Students of the Italian language will find the dual-language format timesaving and extremely helpful; readers of Italian literature will want to add this treasury of small masterworks to their personal libraries.

Good quality athletic shorts
First note, these are unlined shorts since the description is not clear about it one way or the other. The material is light weight and has a decent amount of stretch in all directions. They came vacuum sealed and double bagged. The waist band is wide and comfortable, and the inseam is right at 5". The drawstring has large plastic aglets. The two front pockets are deep enough to secure an oversized phone or your keys. I'm typically between a 32" and 34" waist, and the mediums are a little on the snug side but not too tight. If you are between sizes, I would recommend to size up. Overall, the quality is nice and there were no loose threads or stitching. With the light weight fabric you barely know they are there and are a comfortable as whatever you wear underneath.

Love these for casual wear
I bought these as running shorts but I've reserved them for casual wear. They are a flattering color that goes well with the current prevailing style, and they are trim and straight and look well made rather than athletic. Would they work as athletic shorts? Yep for sure, but it'd be a waste to keep these only for the gym.

Good shorts
Lightweight shorts, good fit/cut. The fabric is thin and seems like it is one layer. Not the greatest quality but good for the price. Material breathes well and is great for workouts. I do question durability but after a couple of washes, they’re still going strong.
