Book Description
This is a charming collection of English translations of the most beloved poems by Italian poet, scholar, and philosopher, Giacomo Leopardi. His remarkable philosophical works and great lyric poetry place him among the renowned writers of the 19th century. His verses are flooded with magnificence and melody, complemented by his quality of depth. Leopardi leads his readers to the brink of chasms and shows them their unimaginable depth. The most profound suffering of Leopardi's heart inspired the most beautiful passages in his poems. His frustrated hopes and despair found their best outlet in his poetry, which is loved for its passion, and effortless musicality. This translation presents the poet's thoughts as accurately as possible. It contains some of his best-known works, including To Silvia, Solitude, The Lonely Bird, etc.

Book Description
These translations of the major poems of Giacomo Leopardi (1798--1837) render into modern English verse the work of a writer who is widely regarded as the greatest lyric poet in the Italian literary tradition. In spite of this reputation, and in spite of a number of nineteenth-and twentieth-century translations, Leopardi's poems have never "come over" into English in such a way as to guarantee their author a recognition comparable to that of other great European Romantic poets. By catching something of Leopardi's cadences and tonality in a version that still reads as idiomatic modern English (with an occasional Irish or American accent), Leopardi: Selected Poems should win for the Italian poet the wider appreciative audience he deserves. His themes are mutability, landscape, love; his attitude, one of unflinching realism in the face of unavoidable human loss. But the manners of the poems are a unique amalgam of philosophical toughness and the lyrically bittersweet. In a way more pure and distilled than most others in the Western tradition, these poems are truly what Matthew Arnold asked all poetry to be, a "criticism of life." The translator's aim is to convey something of the profundity and something of the sheer poetic achievement of Leopardi's inestimable Canti.
