I Malavoglia, a masterpiece by Giovanni Verga, is a cornerstone of Italian verismo. The novel tells the story of the Toscano family, known as the 'Malavoglia', fishermen from Aci Trezza, a small village near Catania. Through their struggles against an implacable fate and economic hardship following the shipwreck of their boat, the 'Provvidenza', Verga portrays the lives of the 'vinti' (the defeated) with lyricism and realism, exploring the conflict between archaic tradition and the arrival of progress. This unabridged edition by Newton Compton Editori offers a profound look at the struggle for survival and resignation to the immutable cycle of life, making it an essential work of 19th-century Italian literature.
