Be-fore Rocchietti's novel was rediscovered at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the prevailing view among scholars of the Italian diaspora in the United States was that the earliest examples of Italian American writing, in the period preceding the 1880-1920 mass immigration wave, came primarily in the form of letters, journals, trav-elogues, poetry, and autobiographies. The origins of Ital-ian American fiction were commonly believed to date back to the publication, in 1885, of Luigi Donato Ven-tura's novella Peppino, probably written in Italian and al-most immediately translated into French and English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.37 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42706064998463,"sku":"9781955995016","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/d77e3034b9dc7e7af0f75da569d3dd86.webp?v=1765039058","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/lorenzo-and-oonalaska-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
