A groundbreaking translation of the epic work of one of the great minds of the nineteenth centuryGiacomo Leopardi was the greatest Italian poet of the nineteenth century and was recognized by readers from Nietzsche to Beckett as one of the towering literary figures in Italian history. To many, he is the finest Italian poet after Dante. (Jonathan Galassi's translation of Leopardi's Canti was published by FSG in 2010.) He was also a prodigious scholar of classical literature and philosophy, and a voracious reader in numerous ancient and modern languages. For most of his writing career, he kept an immense notebook, known as the Zibaldone, or hodge-podge, as Harold Bloom has called it, in which Leopardi put down his original, wide-ranging, radically modern responses to his reading. His comments about religion, philosophy, language, history, anthropology, astronomy, literature, poetry, and love are unprecedented in their brilliance and suggestiveness, and the Zibaldone, which was only published at the turn of the twentieth century, has been recognized as one of the foundational books of modern culture. Its 4,500-plus pages have never been fully translated into English until now, when a team under the auspices of Michael Caesar and Franco D'Intino of the Leopardi Centre in Birmingham, England, have spent years producing a lively, accurate version. This essential book will change our understanding of nineteenth-century culture. This is an extraordinary, epochal publication.

eBooks, eBook Download (EPUB), Lo Zibaldone di Giacomo Leopardi è una vasta raccolta di ragionamenti filosofici, psicologici e letterari scritti fra il 1817 e il 1826. Il tema di fondo, derivato da Rousseau, è la contrapposizione fra l?innocente e sereno stato di natura e la civiltà, che esaltando oltre ogni limite la razionalità, ha reso la condizione dell?uomo tormentata e infelice. Da qui il senso, per quanto riguarda la poetica, del recupero del classicismo, come epoca di splendore non ancora contaminata dal progresso e dall?eccessivo filosofeggiare.
