Description

That Fine Italian HandNo other people over so long a history have shown a greater knack for survival than the Italians. In this wryly affectionate book, Hofmann reveals his adopted countrymen in all their glorious paradoxes, capturing their national essence as no other book has done since Luigi Barzini's classic, The Italians. The national art of "arrangement" dodging taxes, double dealing, working only as hard as one must is counteracted by Italian inventive genius, gusto

No other people over so long a history have shown a greater knack for survival than the Italians. In this wryly affectionate book, Hofmann reveals his adopted countrymen in all their glorious paradoxes, capturing their national essence as no other book has done since Luigi Barzini's classic, The Italians. The national art of "arrangement"-- dodging taxes, double-dealing, working only as hard as one must-- is counteracted by Italian inventive genius, gusto for life, fierce individuality, deep family bonds (as well as animosities), and a marvelously hedonistic sophistication.

Traje
Size: XX-Large, Color: Dark Black
El traje se lo compré a mi hijo, dude en comprarlo por internet ya que el tiene 16 años es alto y de complexión robusto, el traje viene de tres piezas el bordado del saco es muy bonito la calidad de la tela es muy buena y resistente viene de acuerdo a la talla, no llega ni muy reducido la talla ni muy grande, solo el pantalón viene sin costura para que lo pongas al largo que tú quieres
