{"product_id":"canti-giacomo-leopardi-9781847494672","title":"Canti: Newly Translated and Annotated","description":"First published in 1831, and here presented in a dual-language edition with annotations and additional reading material, Leopardi's poetical masterpiece is an unsurpassed anatomy of man's unhappiness on earth. Trapped between an admiration for the classical past and a disappointment in the impoverished present, Leopardi rejected both the easy allure of Catholic faith and the unbridled optimism proposed by science and the Enlightenment. His unflinching pessimism and existential resolve, here brilliantly rendered in verse by prize-winning translator J.G. Nichols, make him one of the most fascinating and best-loved Italian poets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giacomo Leopardi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847494676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847494672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alma Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Giacomo Leopardi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906962313471,"sku":"9781847494672","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66b0cb73-2c59-47e3-a63d-b5e75c070975.jpg?v=1748771900","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/canti-giacomo-leopardi-9781847494672","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
