On September 25, The Italian Academy at Columbia University and Farrar, Straus and Giroux present The Voices of Leopardi's Zibaldone. Appearing for the first time in its entirety in English, Zibaldone amasses the unprecedented brilliance of Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837) into one groundbreaking, 2,500-page text.
Widely regarded as Italy's finest modern lyric poet, Leopardi spent years cultivating and refining his radical and incisive analyses of religion, philosophy, language, history, anthropology, translation, the natural sciences, literature, poetry, and love in his Zibaldone.
