Delphi Poets Series

Delphi Collected Works of Giacomo Leopardi (Illustrated)

Regarded as the greatest Italian poet of the nineteenth century, Giacomo Leopardi was also a noted philosopher, essayist and philologist. A principal figure of Romanticism, Leopardi wrote poems that reveal a constant and sensitive reflection on existence and the human condition, characterised by a sensuous and materialist inspiration. Leopardi is widely seen as one of the most radical and challenging thinkers of his time, who produced a unique poetic body of lyrical works, confirming his status as a central figure of world literature. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Leopardi’s collected works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
