The Poems of Giacomo Leopardi by Giacomo Leopardi
"The Poems of Giacomo Leopardi" by Giacomo Leopardi is a collection of poems written in 1835. Considered one of the most significant works of Italian poetry, this collection traces the poet's evolution from patriotic laments for Italy's fallen glory to profound philosophical meditations on existence. Through iconic verses like "L'Infinito" and dramatic monologues featuring tragic figures such as Brutus and Sappho, Leopardi explores themes of mortality, illusion, and humanity's confrontation with an
indifferent universe, crafting beauty from despair. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
