Abstract

Author Jhumpa Lahiri, in her intriguing autobiographical essay „Teach yourself Italian‟ (The New Yorker, December 7, 2015, pp. 30-36; translated from the Italian), provides a fascinating account
of her linguistic Odyssey, from her native Bengali, through English, to a final Italian „metamorphosis‟ (p. 34).
