Description
Giacomo Leopardi's Canti offers a profound exploration of human unhappiness on earth. Trapped between an admiration for the classical past and a disappointment in the present, Leopardi rejects both the allure of Catholic faith and the optimism proposed by science and the Enlightenment. His unflinching pessimism is rendered in verse with brilliant clarity. Translated into English by prize-winning translator J.G. Nichols, this dual-language edition includes annotations and additional reading material to enhance understanding of Leopardi's masterpiece. The result is a fascinating and deeply resonant work that showcases one of Italy's most beloved poets.
