Gloria e virtù: Dante, Leopardi, gli altri
While Dante Alighieri is considered to be the supreme synthesis of medieval age and of the main currents of the religious and courtly poetry, Giacomo Leopardi is in the middle of a modern and contemporary constellation, writing both poetry and prose, creating new knowledge as in the Zibaldone and other essays.
Starting from these two big classics, the study is about the themes of glory and virtue, focussing on Foscolo, Schopenhauer and Nievo as well, creating a significant portrait of the XIX Century.
This book is for everyone, but especially for those who consider chasing success ad the ultimate e only aim in their life, not focussing on its fascinating mysteries, on its never ending resources, on the big and small treasures of everyday, on the pleasure of love, friendship, generosity, the sweet idleness (a present given by the Gods), doing things only for pleasure and not ghinking about their usefulness.
