Description
Want to REALLY learn Italian? So put aside that grammar book – it’s time to start working on building your reading and listening skills! Being able to confidently read Italian texts and understand what you hear opens up a whole new world of opportunities, both for learning and for living!
This ‘Three For Two’ bundle comprises the three ‘easy reader’ ebooks in our Anselmo Trilogy, at a discounted price!
Meet Anselmo the apothecary, one of the few educated men of his day. And it’s because of his learning that he’s occasionally called upon by the powerful when they need help resolving their problems.
In ‘Anselmo e l’omicidio di Giovanni Borgia‘ the apothecary’s task is to discover who was behind the killing of the Pope’s son. Certainly a learned man should be able to figure it out! An important political alliance depends on his answer, not least the unity of the Borgias themselves, a powerful ruling family who are famous for their power struggles and infidelities.
As Anselmo soon learns, though, it appears to be in nobody’s interest for him to actually find the truth. And in an age in which only power really matters, he’s playing a dangerous game…
In ‘Anselmo e la moglie spagnola‘ Anselmo the apothecary – formerly of Rome, where he was known as the man to turn to with problems no one else could fix, is now owner of the most successful pharmacy in Bruges. But…
A pair of dark-haired horsemen arrive at Anselmo’s home in Belgium having galloped for weeks north through Europe. Their employers, Spanish aristocrats who married into the Borgia family, now find their lives in danger because of a new alliance between the Pope and the French. Will Anselmo help?
Of course, the apothecary can’t refuse a plea for help. Nor the chance to return once more to the court of the Borgias, the setting for his first adventure three years earlier.
In ‘Anselmo e l’avvelenamento del Papa‘ Anselmo, once known as Rome’s go-to man for unsolvable problems, has made a new life with his twin brother Paolo in Belgium, far to the north of the intrigues and dangers of the Papal court. Then one day a letter arrives: Cesare Borgia’s syphilis has reoccurred and he once more needs Anselmo’s help.
Each of these .pdf ebooks (printable, or readable on most devices) contains an original story, along with glossaries of difficult words and exercises.
There’s even an audio recording to listen to online, as often as you wish!
This material is written by Italian teachers, especially for learners like you. The finished story is then recorded by an Italian native speaker.
You read and listen, check unknown words in the glossary, do the exercises if you wish, then go back and read and/or listen again.
Spend as much or as little time on this material as you wish – the important thing is to finish the story!
Read one, then another, then another!
Building a study habit which includes regular reading and listening to material adapted to your level will, over time, improve your knowledge of grammar and vocabulary.
As well as boosting your confidence with Italian texts of all types!
