"Le novelle" by Grazia Deledda (La Biblioteca dell'identita de L'Unione Sarda, 2012)

9 short stories by a Nobel prize-winner. Some are fables, some historical. I like the first one, Lo stracciaiolo del bosco. "La porta aperta" begins with a confessor worrying why the priest hasn't responded. In fact, the priest has fallen asleep. I liked "Un po a tutti" too.
