Summary "Stories by Foreign Authors: Italian" by Edmondo De Amicis et al. is a collection of short stories written during the late 19th century. This compilation brings together works from notable Italian authors, exploring themes of family, patriotism, and human emotions against the backdrop of a changing Italy. Among the selections, the opening story, "A Great Day," sets the tone with a focus on a family's reaction to the military actions surrounding the unification of Italy and the contrasting perspectives of its members. The opening of "A Great Day" introduces us to the G---- family living near Florence during the time when Italian forces are preparing to advance on Rome. The story highlights the tension between the father, mother, and their two daughters, who are apprehensive about the impending conflict, and their enthusiastic son, who is fervently patriotic and eager to witness the historical event. As the narrative unfolds, the son’s determination to join the army leads to a dramatic confrontation with his family, exploring their conflicting values and emotions, ultimately culminating in a momentous decision that will change their lives forever. This initial segment captures the essence of familial bonds tested by national fervor, making it an engaging start to the collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
