1,298 editions published between 1831 and 2017 in 12 languages and held by 4,900 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Giacomo Leopardi is Italy's greatest modern poet, the first European writer to portray and examine the self in a way that feels familiar to us today. A great classical scholar and patriot, he explored metaphysical loneliness in entirely original ways. Though he died young, his influence was enormous, and it is no exaggeration to say that all modern poetry, not only in Italian, derives in some way from his work. Galassi, whose translations of Eugenio Montale have been widely acclaimed, has produced a strong, fresh, direct version of this great poet that offers English-language readers a new approach to Leopardi

Riveduto sull'edizione critica curata da Ottavio Besomi, il testo delle Operette morali si avvale, in questa edizione, dell'introduzione e del commento di Cesare Galimberti.

"Giacomo Leopardi was the greatest Italian poet of the nineteenth century and was recognized by readers from Nietzsche to Beckett as one of the towering literary figures in Italian history. To many, he is the finest Italian poet after Dante. He was also a prodigious scholar of classical literature and philosophy, and a voracious reader in numerous ancient and modern languages. For most of his writing career, he kept an immense notebook, known as the Zibaldone, in which Leopardi put down his original, wide-ranging, radically modern responses to his reading"--

Discorso sopra lo stato presente dei costumi deglétaliani by
Giacomo Leopardi(
Book
)
39 editions published between 1989 and 2017 in 4 languages and held by 276 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The Discourse on the present state of the Italian customs, written by the twenty-six Giacomo Leopardi in 1824 and published only in 1906, puts at the center the disgust of Italian society, lacking a shared moral sensitivity and plastered in the memory of a past now definitively delivered to history. In these pages, Leopardi does not make profession of progression, but he photographs the mediocre reality of his time, which oscillates between the nostalgia for the ancient splendor of the southern civilization to which he belonged, and the inability to keep up with the northern modernity. After almost two hundred years from the composition of the Discourse, the evils reported by Leopardi are still all present and perhaps even more serious. Italy, drunk with its glorious past, seems incapable of the future. It is relegated to the appearance, on the scene, to the south of the world, a province, an ancient place destined irremediably to perish under the weight of its ancestral vices." --

Handbook of Epictetus by
Epictetus(
Book
)
92 editions published between 1913 and 2017 in 3 languages and held by 229 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Although he was born into slavery and endured a permanent physical disability, Epictetus (ca. 50-ca. 130 AD) maintained that all people are free to control their lives and to live in harmony with nature. We will always be happy, he argued, if we learn to desire that things should be exactly as they are. After attaining his freedom, Epictetus spent his entire career teaching philosophy and advising a daily regimen of self-examination. His pupil Arrianus later collected and published the master's lecture notes; the Enchiridion, or Manual, is a distillation of Epictetus' teachings and an instructional manual for a tranquil life. Full of practical advice, this work offers guidelines for those seeking contentment as well as for those who have already made some progress in that direction. Translated by George Long
