The She-Wolf and Other Stories
Description:
La Lupa: 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 fate: 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.
