Buondì.
As promised last week, today I have a new upper-intermediate/advanced-level Italian easy reader ebook for you.
It’s ‘Il mistero della quercia‘.
The writer is Francesca Colombo, who did the recent ‘Il bar‘ and ‘Prometeo e la guerra dei titani‘.
So if you liked those, you’ll probably like this one, too!
The story is set at the end of a hot, lethargic Italian summer (like now!) A young woman is staying with her grandparents in the countryside and life is proceeding predictably slowly, with nothing happening except the bottling of home-made tomato puree…
But then, some news! There’s been a traffic accident in the village! Not to worry, both the postman and the tractor driver are unhurt.
But why then is everyone acting so alarmed? What is ‘Il mistero della quercia‘ (the mystery of the oak)?
Check out the Free Sample Chapter (.pdf) to get an idea of the type, level and complexity of the text. There’s also a link to the audio for the entire story, which is available to listen to completely free online, no purchase required!
From next Monday onwards ‘Il mistero della quercia‘ will be priced at our usual ebook price of £7.99.
But get it this week and it’ll set you back just £5.99, which is a saving of 25%!

P.P.S.
Like cats (and poems)?
If so, check out this article on the website of the company that runs OnlineItalianClub.com.
It’s about a new project, completely unrelated to learning Italian.
But as I said, if you like cats and/or poems you might be interested…
