The She-Wolf and Other Stories by Giovanni Verga
La The She-Wolf The villagers have given Giuseppina the nickname “the She-wolf” “because she never had enough—of anything. The women made the sign of the Cross when they saw her pass,” and even the parish priest lost his soul for her. Maricchia, her daughter, bemoans her own No one would want the daughter of such a woman as his wife, even though her dowry and landholdings are the match of any young woman in the town. When Nanni, a young man of the village, returns from his compulsory military service, the She-wolf falls desperately in love with him. Inspiration for Shakira's 2009 album She-Wolf.
