I have the "Italian Language" by Dobrovolskaya, written in 1965, which is the greatest manual I had, and it has interesting stories you can't find nowadays:
- Italian communists visit Moscow and drop their jaws in the subway - during the Risorgimento war, a child climbs a tree to see the royal army solders, is shot from far away and dies - during WWII, Italian deserter soldiers and an Americat pilot hide from Germans in a village - during WWII, Italians travel somewrere in a train, someone speaks against the Fascist government, the train gets stopped, he is taken out and shot. When the train starts, partigians assault the soldiers, kill the secret service agent, escape in the forest with some guns and bullets - partigians go to blow up a radio tower, kill the guardians, blow the tower up, then escape, then are pursued and die one by one. I started writing this thinking of communistic party and the (fake) atmosphere of 60-s, but what I actually remembered were the bloodiest stories. 2 more recent stories from other materials: - people fighting some radioactive wastes dumped uncontrollably around Napoli in 2000-s - a stupid guy opens a shop with a stupid sign "Qui si vende pentole. E coperche." Edited by Siberiano on 20 December 2012 at 8:29pm 5 persons have voted this message useful |
