Re: Changes to the Italian list of books.

Hello!

Thank you so much for your comments. I will explain a little better. I am working on a project for the region of Emilia Romagna and it is my job to get the Emilia Romagna words (such as Don Camillo) that are in English up to par with their Italian counterparts. Therefore, the book list that I posted was taken from the Italian book list on Wikipedia, hence the changes.

Having said that, I greatly appreciate all of your comments, as well as your changes. I would like to send your comments on to my colleagues in this project, if that's okay with you? I feel that as both a contributor and a reader, your comments are very valuable for our project, and I would like for them to be aware of what you have suggested.

Could I ask you to re-instate the literal translations, so that I may take a closer look at them? Don't worry about marking them up; we can take care of that. I am sorry to make you do it again.

Also, if it is of interest to you, please take a look at our project: http://blog.travelemiliaromagna.com/save-a-word/ And feel free to save a word!!!

Again, thank you, and I look forward from hearing from you again soon.

Re: Changes to the Italian list of books. I did look very hard (but no longer have the references to hand) for the titles of the early books using Google image searches. I have reinstated the 'Mondo Piccolo' / 'Mondo Piccolo:' prefixes for the first three books - the fourth one didn't have the prefix.

I figured that the English literal translations were useful, particularly as the names can vary so much: "...and the Youth of Today" / "...Meets the Flower Children" / "...Meets Hell's Angels". This also incidently highlights interesting differences in Italian, American and English cultures at the time of publication.

I would like to re-instate these literal translations; however, they would probably benefit from being marked up properly. Perhaps: Mondo Piccolo "Don Camillo". 1948. (Literally: Little World "Don Camillo")   Unfortunately I don't know the accepted formatting.

I believed it useful to state the original publisher was Rizzolli and was unsure of the value of its removal.

Your comments would be valued.
