This study shows how Manzoni consistently represents what the eye sees (landscape, cityscape) and the mind conceives (characters' plans, history) under different and often paradoxical aspects. Its thesis is that the technique of variable perspective has a cognitive function, allowing the novel to  speak  in a timeless manner of reason and folly, goodness and wickedness, human reason and divine grace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aldo Scaglione,Clareece Godt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820421340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820421346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Aldo Scaglione","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48483717972223,"sku":"9780820421346","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a9bc6af-f78f-4b19-a278-a73759e8c18d.jpg?v=1778040201","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mobile-spectacle-aldo-scaglione-9780820421346","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
