Discover Grazia Deledda’s Timeless Voice in English for the First Time



We are proud to present Summer Sunshine, a brand-new ebook featuring this collection of short stories by Grazia Deledda, Nobel Laureate in Literature (1926). For the very first time, this evocative collection is available in English, opening the doors of Deledda’s mature writing to a global audience.



Curated and translated into English by Enzo Martinelli, this edition captures the unique rhythm, lyrical prose, and psychological depth that define Deledda’s artistry. These stories, written at the height of her creative power, transport readers into the landscapes of Sardinia and the inner worlds of her unforgettable characters—where light and shadow, tradition and modernity, fate and desire intertwine.

Each image has been inspired by the moods and atmospheres of the stories, making this edition not only a literary journey but also a visual one.
