Transcript

Capitolo 5 – Io sono “il fu Mattia Pascal”

Devo andare via, non posso più rimanere qui.

Faccio morire Adriano Meis e ritorno ad essere Mattia Pascal, non posso essere nessun altro che lui.

Addio, Adriana! Addio, Roma!

Il treno si è fermato, stazione di Miragno.

Faccio la strada verso casa, la gente per strada ha paura, mi guarda e vede un fantasma; mi sento di nuovo un fantasma.

Voglio cambiare vita, ma è impossibile; ho creduto di ritornare alla mia vera vita, ma tutto è cambiato…

La gente mi vede passare.

«Mattia Pascal? Tu sei morto, non puoi essere qui in carne ed ossa!»

«Allora sei vivo, c’è stato un errore?»

«Ah, ma non sai cosa è successo durante la tua assenza… Romilda ha sposato il tuo migliore amico Pomino.»

Non so come rispondere.

«Ah, signori miei, io non so più chi sono adesso».

In realtà è una bugia, adesso comincia la mia terza vita.

Non mi resta che essere “il fu Mattia Pascal”.

P.S.

What’s coming up on OnlineItalianClub.com?

E-books (with audio):

Almost ready are three new e-books for learning Italian, each with audio recordings, so you can read and listen, thus working on both skills at once!

There’s an short/easy A1 story for those who are just starting out with Italian, plus two longer reads suitable for anyone with a B1 level or above.

All three will be available in our shop ‘soon’.

New materials:

We already have a mass of free Italian exercises on our website, but we’d be the first to admit that it could do with some sorting out. There’s plenty of repetition, and some gaps, too.

So the next few months will see us tidying and expanding our offer, with the aim of becoming the web’s ‘go-to’ destination for learning Italian!

Got a suggestion?

We’d love to hear what you liked, what you didn’t like, what you want more of, what you’d prefer less of.

    Thank you for all the audio plus written texts. I just love them and have recorded them all. I listen first several times, then read. This really does seem a good way to progress.
    If you are thinking of doing another shortened book, what about a detective story???

      Thanks for your feedback, Nina!

      As regards the detective story, we’re way ahead of you on that… Martina, the girl who wrote most of our listenings, is working on a draft of one right at this minute.
