Italian Plays in Translation

Italo Svevo

This series consists of English translations of late 19th- and early 20th-century Italian plays, most of which have either never been rendered into English, or haven't been recently. All of these translations were written by me, as a means to improve my writing skills and my understanding of the Italian language. I will be adding posts to this series slowly over the next months.

  1. Nice post. It shows how rich could a literature be in terms of translation.Through translating shows the rich blend of knowledge and culture in a society.Whether in Italian translation or in any foreign language translation helps one to get acquainted with the thoughts, traditions, principles and actions of the people from the region.
