Reviews
"Hooper''s book, both sweeping in scope and generous with detail, makes persuasive arguments for how geography, history and tradition have shaped Italy and its citizens, for better and sometimes for worse.... ''The Italians'' offers a wealth of information seasoned Italophiles will appreciate, but it also deals with some of the inscrutabilities that baffle casual visitors."-- Elisabetta Povoled, New York Times Book Review "John Hooper is a supremely able and experienced foreign correspondent who has mastered a particular subgenre of his craft: the detailed and comprehensive study of individual countries....It is an admirable piece of work, unassuming but authoritative. If Hooper really were a diplomat instead of a reporter, it would surely earn him his knighthood." --Jan Morris, Literary Review "One of the things that makes The Italians such a delight to read is that Hooper seems to believe that the Italian people are an enigma that can never be satisfactorily solved."-- Dallas Morning News "[John Hooper''s] book is both valuable and readable, a lucid and elegantly flowing description of a people."-- Financial Times "Hooper''s range is vast and varied...in this highly readable and sparling account of Italy and its people.... Essential reading for all those who want to know more about Italy--and it shows once again that we need foreign correspondents who can interpret and report on the world for us."-- Times Literary Supplement "What''s not to love? A thoroughly researched, well-written, ageless narrative of a fascinating people."-- Kirkus, starred review "This is a fascinating study of the fundamentals and foibles of Italy''s people." -- Publishers Weekly "Hooper offers personal experiences and anecdotes from his many years living in Italy, creating a readable and entertaining work...Recommended for casual readers eager to learn more about Italian culture and people."-- Library Journal "A sophisticated portrait of the Italians at their best and their worst: charming, imaginative, generous, full of life but also unreliable, more or less corrupt and often downright infuriating. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the humorous twists Mr. Hooper has put to his very perceptive analyses. A worthy and long-overdue successor to Luigi Barzini''s classic The Italians ."-- Andrea Di Robilant, author of A Venetian Affair "John Hooper takes his readers deep into the Italian labyrinth. And they come out alive, with a smile on their faces! A remarkable achievement."-- Beppe Severgnini, author of Ciao America and La Bella Figura "In vivid and fluid prose, John Hooper has written an indispensible guide to life in Italy past and present. His incisive portrait, at turns hard-hitting and affectionate, reveals the Italians in all their complexity, from their dolce vita and transcendent art to their gut-wrenching social and political struggles."-- Joseph Luzzi, author of My Two Italies "Thanks to his great curiosity, his splendid comparative and analytical perspective, and a fine eye for telling details, John Hooper gets under the skin of a fascinating people in a remarkable and compelling way."-- Bill Emmott, co-author of the documentary about Italy "Girlfriend in a Coma" "Here is the history, passion, culture, and contradictions that make Italy and Italians so fascinating. John Hooper''s The Italians is as enjoyable to read as taking a trip to my favorite country!" -- Ann Hood, author of An Italian Wife "People who don''t know Italy will find this book a splendid introduction. Those who know and love the country will find much that is new as well as familiar, much that will have them nodding in agreement, some observations that will meet with the response, ''not to my mind''. It deserves to sit happily on the bookshelf beside Barzi∋ and that is high praise. " -- Allan Massie, The Scotsman, "A compact but comprehensive study of the people of Italy. The author puts his finger on the vast diversity of the country through his descriptions of their linguistics, cultures, foods, economies and even journalism. What's not to love? A thoroughly researched, well-written, ageless narrative of a fascinating people."- Kirkus, starred review "A sophisticated portrait of the Italians at their best and their worst: charming, imaginative, generous, full of life but also unreliable, more or less corrupt and often downright infuriating. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the humorous twists Mr. Hooper has put to his very perceptive analyses.

Synopsis
Washington Post bestseller Los Angeles Times bestseller A vivid and surprising portrait of the Italian people from an admired foreign correspondent How did a nation that spawned the Renaissance also produce the Mafia? And why does Italian have twelve words for coat hanger but none for hangover? John Hooper s entertaining and perceptive new book is the ideal companion for anyone seeking to understand contemporary Italy and the unique character of the Italians. Fifteen years as a foreign correspondent based in Rome have sharpened Hooper s observations, and he looks at the facts that lie behind the stereotypes, shedding new light on everything from the Italians bewildering politics to their love of life and beauty. Hooper persuasively demonstrates the impact of geography, history, and tradition on many aspects of Italian life, including football and Freemasonry, sex, food, and opera. Brimming with the kind of fascinating and often hilarious insights unavailable in guidebooks, The Italians will surprise even the most die-hard Italophile.", Washington Post bestseller Los Angeles Times bestseller A vivid and surprising portrait of the Italian people from an admired foreign correspondent How did a nation that spawned the Renaissance also produce the Mafia?
