More about the book
The translations present the major poems of Giacomo Leopardi, celebrated as Italy's greatest lyric poet. Despite his esteemed reputation, previous English translations have failed to capture the essence of his work, preventing him from receiving the recognition afforded to other prominent European Romantic poets. This collection aims to bridge that gap by rendering Leopardi's poetry into modern English verse, allowing readers to fully appreciate his profound contributions to literature.
