In this companion volume to L'Italia verso il Duemila, acclaimed Italianist Ugo Skubikowski provides a glimpse into authentic Italian life through the presentation of twelve interviews with Italians. Intended as a text for students in second year university and beyond, Vite italiane brings together Italians from different regions and of differing age, class, and gender, to speak candidly about a wide range of experiences. Among the interviewees are a recent university graduate who describes the challenges posed by the Italian university, a widow who speaks of raising a young daughter as a single mother, a high school teacher who recalls her leftist political activism and defends her new, more moderate approach, and a restauranteur who shares his challenges and his dreams for his restaurant. These and many other fascinating interviews provide a compelling and varied portrait of Italy as experienced and retold by Italians themselves.

The Puritan author, Morgan Llwyd, is an important figure of seventeenth-century Wales. This scholarly work deals specifically with the theological credo underlying Llwyd's work, and makes a cogent case for his standpoint that, although Llwyd used original ways to express Calvinist doctrine, he was very much an orthodox Calvinist. This is a detailed study of Llwyd's system of thought, and the author succeeds in illuminating complex aspects of Llwyd's work.
