Last week’s very seasonal, half-price, ‘easy reader’ eBook, the B2 (upper-intermediate)-level ‘Natale a sorpresa‘, was promoted very late in the week – on Thursday – so could have ended up in many people’s ‘trash’ folder, along with all the ‘Black Friday’ offers…
So – and because the story is about Christmas – we’re leaving it at half-price until the holidays, to give you a chance to grab your copy at a discount: ‘Natale a sorpresa‘.
And this week? We have another seasonal Italian eBook for you!
Half-price, B2/C1-level ‘easy reader’, ‘Giallo a Capodanno‘ is perfect for improving your Italian reading/listening skills over the holidays (though it’s a little harder than ‘Natale a sorpresa‘ so check the free sample chapters for each before you buy:

- https://easyreaders.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Giallo-a-Capodanno-SAMPLE.pdf
Read/listen to one or both of these over the next week or two and you’ll improve your Italian comprehension skills, consolidate the grammar and vocabulary you’ve studied, and get into the festive mood – at half the usual price!
“Sbrigati Alida, o arriveremo in ritardo alla festa di Capodanno!” ripete nervosamente Martina alla sua compagna di stanza. Alida sta sdraiata sul letto con un libro di Agatha Christie fra le mani. Si toglie pigramente gli occhiali da lettura e guarda fuori dalla finestra: “Nevica ancora, che incubo!”
It’s New Year 1970 and Martina’s all dressed up for the party, determined to enjoy it! But her roommate, Alida is more cynical:
“Ascolta: siamo bloccati dalla neve in un collegio in cui viviamo tutto l’anno. Dei duecento alunni che frequentano la scuola, solo sette (sette, porca miseria!) hanno dei genitori che non li vogliono tra i piedi nemmeno durante le feste. E noi siamo tra questi sette. Quindi puoi anche vestirti come Marilyn Monroe… ma rimani una disgraziata!”
Alida would rather read detective thrillers than pretend to have fun with just six fellow students. But who knows? Perhaps something interesting will happen?
