Sinossi
Lasciarsi attraversare dalla bellezza di una lingua non significa solo comprendere un testo, ma amare la cultura che esprime. «Quando arrivai in Italia per la prima volta, nel 1983, sapevo dire una sola frase: "Mi scusi, non parlo italiano".» Inizia così, quasi come un cliché, la storia d'amore di Dianne Hales con il nostro paese. Da allora la giornalista americana ne ha studiato la lingua in ogni modo possibile, ma soprattutto ha vissuto luoghi, conosciuto persone ed esplorato arte, musica, letteratura, cinema, dialetti e stili di vita. Nato per offrire scorci inediti ai viaggiatori curiosi, "La bella lingua" regala un punto di vista non scontato e mai banale anche a chi in Italia è nato e cresciuto.

This is a really good read for those that have a similar fascination with the Italian language. But wait, there's more to it than that: its a really comprehensive history lesson about the Italian Peninsular, its people, culture, art, food, music, inventions and of course, the language that is woven
this is a memoir of how one non-italian woman spent 25 years becoming fluent in italian...or that's what i expected. it's really a lot more about the development of the italian language & the way the language unified the disparate regions throughout the italian peninsula & brought them together as a Leggi tutto
The author's love for Italian is almost off-putting in its intensity. While she has some interesting stories about Italy and the development of the language, she also retails stories as truth that have been disproved, or at least disputed, without comment. And the detail of the language descends int Leggi tutto
I chuckled on Page 2. On Page 14, I laughed out loud. It's not a funny book per se, but it certainly has its moments. "La Bella Lingua" is as charming, quirky and vibrant as the Italian language itself. Here are some samples: "Business can remain unfinished a long time in Italy. A researcher tells of r Leggi tutto
This book took me by surprise as I expected to like it more than I did. In it she explores Italian life and culture from a number of different angles - the evolution of the language, art, culture music, film. But the overriding impression I get is how satisfied with herself she is. thus, I struggled Leggi tutto
This is unlike many American-living-abroad tales. Rather than write about herself, the author writes of her innamorato. She confesses she has fallen "madly, gladly, giddily in love with the world's most luscious language." She invites you along as she describes her immersion in Italy and the Italian Leggi tutto
In terms of global numbers, Italian is only the 19th spoken language, but is the 4th most studied. Dianne Hales makes a funny and very informative case for the appeal of 'la bella lingua' by taking us on a walk through history from the earliest times of the Ancient Romans right up to modern films an Leggi tutto
