Zibaldone

For most of his career, the Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi kept an immense notebook, the Zibaldone, filled with his thoughts on philosophy, religion, language, literature, history and human nature. This edition is the first complete English translation of the work, running to more than 2,500 pages with a bilingual approach and extensive notes. It shows the range and modernity of Leopardi's thinking and is meant to be dipped into as much as read through.
