This historical work from 1895 examines the social and political causes behind the unrest in Sicily during the late nineteenth century. As a text written by a contemporary politician and sociologist, it features formal, academic Italian vocabulary typical of the era. The sentences are structured with a degree of complexity that reflects the intellectual discourse of the time. It is a demanding read that provides insight into the socio-economic tensions of the period, requiring patience with its dense, analytical prose style.

Questions about this book
What level of Italian do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 11 h 3 min at a native pace, spread over 31 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
