Ebook offers this week: 6 years of ‘Best of EasyItalianNews’

This week’s discounted eBook offer is the newly-published Best of EasyItalianNews.com 2023-2024, along with five previous years of EasyItalianNews memories.

Best of EasyItalianNews.com 2023/24, cover image

The newest one is 30% off the usual price, the others are 50% discounted. You can find them all here, or click below for whichever year or years you’d like to re-live:

Unlike our usual ‘easy reader’ offers, these titles have no particular level, and no audio (though all the FREE material on the EasyItalianNews.com website does.)

That’s because the purpose of the ‘Best of’ collections is to motivate students of Italian to read, or re-read.

The text is not a story, as most of our ‘easy readers’ are, there’s no beginning or end, just a collecton of articles from the year that we thought you might enjoy seeing again, or for the first time if you’re not a long-term EIN fan.

As with all our ebooks there are free samples available for you to download (on the product pages, see the links above for all years.) So why not download a few and browse?? Just dip in. You’re sure to find something to read.

N.b. EasyItalianNews.com is funded by donations (see who donated here). All past and recent donors should have already been emailed a link to download a free copy of this latest ebook (as a ‘thank you’), so needn’t buy a copy!

That was last week sometime. So if you ever helped the EIN team out with a cash gift, check your emails carefully for a message from info@easyitaliannews.com. If you don’t see it (check your junk/spam, too), write to the EIN team on that address ( info@easyitaliannews.com ).

A selection of articles from EasyItalianNews.com, July 2023 – June 2024

Want to improve your Italian grammar and vocabulary? Then put down that grammar book and those flash cards… Read more instead!

Best of EasyItalianNews.com 2023/24, cover image

But what should you read?

Well how about simplified news stories from around the world?

L’Australia vota NO al referendum per i diritti degli aborigeni
Aleksej Navalnyj morto in carcere
La Corte internazionale di giustizia ordina a Israele lo stop al genocidio

Culture?

Il canto lirico italiano diventa Patrimonio immateriale dell’Unesco
Disegno da 2 euro in realtà è un Matisse
Bologna, Torre Garisenda a rischio crollo

Or some discoveries?

Fotografata la galassia più antica
Scoperte in Portogallo api mummificate risalenti a 3.000 anni fa
Reperti bellici della Grande guerra emergono dal ghiaccio

Memories of those who are no longer with us, maybe?

Morta la cantautrice Sinéad O’Connor
Addio a Paul Auster, autore della Trilogia di New York

What about some of the year’s strangest stories?

L’improbabile colpevole del blackout del sito Veterani americani

Ebook of the Week, ‘Ashraf, l’arciere dell’imperatore’, £4.99

This week’s half-price eBook ‘easy reader’ offer is the B2/C1 (upper-intermediate/advanced) level ‘Ashraf, l’arciere dell’imperatore’, an original story that will keep you turning the pages and so improving your reading/listening comprehension skills, grammar, and vocabulary.

Easy Italian readers - Ashraf, l'arciere dell'imperatore - cover image

In the early thirteenth century, Frederick II became Holy Roman Emperor and King of the southern parts of Italy. But in Sicily, a large muslim community rebelled against his rule, so were brutally deported, a safe distance away, to the mainland city of Lucera.

An educated man, the Emperor could speak multiple foreign languages, including Arabic. He enjoyed mixing with the wise men of his day, many of whom were muslim scientists, philosophers or political advisors. With their advice and support, he went on to make peace with the Sultan and to become King of Jerusalem.

Fredrick’s relationship with contemporary popes, at the time the ultimate spiritual authorities and so rivals for power in the Italian pensinsula and elsewhere, was much less positive! Perhaps suspicious of the conflicted loyalties of fellow Christians, the emperor recruiting muslim archers, cavalry and even his personal bodyguard from the exiled Sicilian muslim community, men who would be loyal only to him.

Meanwhile, back in Lucera, a muslim young boy is being schooled in archery by his unsmiling, one-armed father…

Easy Reader Ebook of the Week, ‘Tumulto a Firenze’, £4.99

This week’s eBook ‘easy reader’ is the C1/2 (advanced/proficiency) ‘Tumulto a Firenze’, another original story written to keep learners of Italian turning the pages and so improving their reading/listening comprehension skills, their grammar (there are lots of examples of the ‘passato remoto’, see below), and their vocabulary.

The thrill of revolution! At half the usual price!

Italian easy readers - Tumulto a Firenze - cover image

Nel 1378 la situazione sociale, politica ed economica della Repubblica di Firenze è precaria. La città è stata fortemente debilitata dalla Peste del Trecento e da una recente guerra contro lo Stato Pontificio. La nobiltà cittadina e il “popolo grasso” (ricchi banchieri e imprenditori) aumentano dunque la pressione nei confronti dei lavoratori salariati (soprattutto lavoratori della lana).

Nel dialetto toscano, “ciompare” significa battere, colpire, picchiare. Si definivano dunque “Ciompi” i battilana. Vi erano molti tipi di lavoratori di tessuti, e i Ciompi sgrezzavano la lana. Si occupavano solo della fase iniziale e più dura della lavorazione.

Nell’estate del 1378, a fronte di uno scontro tra nobili e corporazioni, anche i poveri salariati si riversano in città. In un primo momento il loro numero e la loro disorganizzazione sono sconcertanti. Presa coscienza della propria superiorità numerica e supportati inizialmente dalle Arti, i lavoratori della lana, detti Ciompi, iniziano a esigere diritti politici.

“Svelto, Luigi, prendi le armi!” mio padre aveva fatto irruzione, tutto trafelato, nel retro della casa. Io e mia sorella Angela, che stavamo battendo la lana, interrompemmo il lavoro.

“Quali armi? Che succede babbo?” chiesi sorpreso.

“Non c’è tempo, ti spiego durante il cammino… tu prendi il coltellaccio, che non si sa mai!” Mi strinse una spalla con la mano. Gli lanciai uno sguardo interrogativo ma obbedii.

Easy Reader of the Week, ‘I racconti della vestale’, £4.99

This week’s half-price eBook ‘easy reader’ is the C1 (advanced) – level ‘I racconti della vestale’, an original story that will keep you turning the pages, and so help improve your Italian reading/listening comprehension skills!

Italian easy reader ebooks - I racconti della vestale - cover image

Comprendo che è un peso stare a sentire una vecchia logorroica, ma non ho molto pubblico ultimamente, però vorrei raccontarti la mia storia.

“La donna ha bisogno di essere protetta da un uomo perché è debole sotto molti aspetti. Per questo nessuna donna è libera. Né le attrici né le prostitute, né le cittadine, né le campagnole, né le matrone né, ovviamente, le schiave”.

Così aveva sentenziato mia nonna, accompagnandomi alla cerimonia di iniziazione, e poi aveva aggiunto, alzando il dito indice: “Ma le sacerdotesse della dea sono protette da Vesta, e sono preparate fin da piccole ad avere grandi responsabilità. Perciò possono scegliere cosa fare della propria vita, e quando finiscono di prestare servizio alla città, hanno la stessa libertà di un uomo”.

Avevo solo nove anni ma non ero stupida: sapevo che sposarsi significava sottostare al volere del proprio marito, produrre eredi per lui e accettarne le scappatelle. Questa era la vita di mia madre, e anche mia sorella Lucilla Maggiore stava per diventare esattamente quel tipo di matrona: a tredici anni aveva sposato un uomo di ventiquattro che aveva conosciuto il giorno prima del matrimonio.

Mi aspettavano dunque trent’anni di servizio alla dea e poi sarei stata indipendente!

eBook Easy Reader of the Week, ‘La commediante’ (C1), £4.99

This week’s half-price eBook ‘easy reader’ is the C1 (advanced) – level ‘La commediante’, an enjoyable, original story that will keep you turning the pages, and so help improve your Italian reading/listening comprehension skills!

Italian easy readers - La commediante - cover image

Nel 1500 nasce in Italia un nuovo modo di fare teatro. Si tratta della “Commedia dell’arte”, un tipo di teatro popolare che prende vita nelle piazze.

Le rappresentazioni non si basavano su un copione ben definito ma, piuttosto, su un “canovaccio” ovvero una traccia generica della storia. Toccava poi agli attori improvvisare le battute.

Le “arti” erano le corporazioni dei lavoratori di uno stesso settore. C’era dunque anche una “arte” degli attori. Fino al 1564 le compagnie di attori erano composte di dieci uomini…

Lucrezia is a young prostitute, whose real passion is show business! And because a troupe of players is in town, the local priest is going to have to wait a little longer to see her. Instead of working this afternoon, she’ll get dressed and go down to the piazza to see the show (for the third time!)

eBook of the Week, ‘I racconti di Canterbury’ (B2/C1), £4.99

This week’s half-price eBook ‘easy reader’ is ‘I racconti di Canterbury‘, a selection of Geoffrey Chaucer’s pilgrims’ tales from medieval England. Improve your Italian comprehension skills as you read/listen to them, just £4.99!

Easy Italian reader - I racconti di Canterbury - cover image

Why read the Italian version of a classic of world literature instead of actual Italian literature?

Well, why not? Sometimes a familiar tale is reassuring when faced with the complexities of reading and listening in the language you’re learning.

Besides, you can do both! We have ‘easy reader’ versions of some of the classics of Italian literature, too!

Geoffrey Chaucer nacque a Londra nel 1340 circa, figlio di un importante mercante di vino. Per gran parte della sua vita, fu in contatto con la corte reale di Londra, tra cui quella di Edoardo III che gli consentì di compiere diversi viaggi in Francia, nelle Fiandre e in Italia.

“I racconti di Canterbury” sono una raccolta di racconti in versi. La cornice narrativa, che permette ai personaggi di raccontare le proprie storie, è un pellegrinaggio da Londra verso Canterbury per visitare la tomba di Thomas Becket.

eBook of the Week, ‘Uno, nessuno e centomila’ (B2), £4.99

This week’s half-price eBook of the Week offer is our B2 (upper-intermediate) -level version of Pirandello’s ‘Uno, nessuno e centomila‘.

We did this one as a mini-book-club back in May 2020, when most people were locked down, and because I was promoting our then-new Italian Literature series of ‘easy reader’ ebooks.

A group of us read the Italian original ‘together’. If you have time to kill and/or would like to tackle the original rather than our ‘easy reader’ version, read the commments in the mini-book-club. Scroll down to the bottom of that page to find them, in date order from oldest to newest.

And as regards our simplified version, the reviews were positive, and give a good idea of what you’d be getting should you decide to splash out £4.99 this week. Check out the free sample chapter, too. There’s a link below.

Easy Italian readers - Uno, nessuno e centomila - cover image

Nobel Prize winner Luigi Pirandello’s long-unfinshed novel of a privileged young man who one day realises that the way others perceive him is not the way he has always seen himself. Dissatisfied with the idea that everyone who knows him has a different picture of who he is, based on their own preconceptions, he decides to shake things up!

This week our sister website NativeSpeakerTeachers.com is having its 2024 Summer Sale, which means that one-to-one Italian/French/Spanish/German Lessons can be had a fifth cheaper than usual.

Use regular online meetings with a native speaker teacher of the language you’re learning to give structure to your self-study, and for that essential practice speaking and interacting!

Save 20% on one-to-one Italian/French/Spanish/German Lessons with a native speaker teacher of the language you’re learning by using this coupon code:

Ten thirty-minute online lessons with a native speaker teacher would normally cost you £200 (just £20 a lesson).

But with coupon code 2024-Summer-Sale-20%-Off you’ll pay just £160! (£16.00 a lesson), which is like getting two free lessons!

So how exactly do you save 20% on your online lessons or practice with a native speaker of the language you’re learning??
