Sinossi

In "Italian Fantasies," Israel Zangwill weaves a rich tapestry of literary imagination that captures the fervent essence of Italian culture and the complexities of human emotion. This collection of stories, imbued with Zangwill's trademark wit and psychological insight, transcends mere travelogue, inviting readers into a vivid exploration of love, longing, and the clash of tradition and modernity. Zangwill employs a lyrical style intertwined with vivid imagery, drawing inspiration from both personal experiences and the sights and sounds of Italy, placing these narratives in a broader context of early 20th-century transnational literature. Israel Zangwill, a prominent figure of the Jewish literary renaissance, was profoundly influenced by his own multicultural background and the dynamics of his time. Born in London to Jewish immigrant parents, his life experiences informed his exploration of identity and belonging within the narratives he crafted. Zangwill's travels across Europe, coupled with his keen observations of society, culminated in this work, which reflects his fascination with the Italian spirit and the universal themes of human experience. "Italian Fantasies" is a captivating read for those interested in the intersections of culture and identity. Zangwill's eloquent prose and keen psychological insights make this collection not only entertaining but also intellectually stimulating. Readers seeking to immerse themselves in the rich worlds of both Italy and the human psyche will find this anthology an enlightening and evocative experience.

    "The Very Old Folk" is the name given by publishers to a story found in the letter sent to Donald Wandrei by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft on 3 November 1927. It is a recording of a dream, where the protagonist is a Roman military official in the Vascon country near Pompelo. The countryside is, every year, ravaged by terrible hill people who kidnap citizens and perform cruel rituals at a Sabbath. The narrator wishes to lead a military expedition to crush these hill folk, as a feeling of approaching evil has enveloped the countryside, due to a riot between the citizens and the hill people. These hill folk came to trade, yet some of these are killed and later, no disappearances occur before the time of the Sabbath. The incursion is guided by a local-born son of Roman parents. As the Romans approach the seat of the Sabbath rituals, something terrible attacks them and in an instant, horrible things come to pass...
