I think the best online bookstore for Italian books is IBS.it. They are reliable and many in Italian Studies use this as their resource. Furthermore, they give an exact cost with shipping automatically and ship with a private agent, so you can track the package..
I cannot thank you enough AK. All my Father keeps talking about was when he was a boy in Italy how he use to love to read Italian comic books. I want to surprise him with one.
I will have no clue which one to get but if I get a few different ones Im sure it will make his day.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
