An Italian literary masterpiece is now published in a new English translation, and Giulia and Raffaele are eager to receive it in order to dissect it properly!
But first, a presentation to our beloved listeners about this book: The Betrothed. Historical novels never go out of fashion, but this one is a peculiar mix of Enlightenment reason and Romanticism feeling, with a touch of Faith, a bit of gentle patriotism and lots of ironic commentary.
Trust us: if a novel stays relevant for 200 years straight, it is worth reading.
Alessandro Manzoni is the Italian precursor of Victor Hugo, and his work represent the ancestor of Les Misérables: will Michael F. Moore’s translation bring it to the fore of immortal novels not only in Italy, but around the world?
We think everyone needs Manzoni’s thoughts, feelings and words, so… We hope for a rediscovery of this author around the world. Listen to the podcast to know more!
