«Adelchi» is a historical tragedy by Alessandro Manzoni, published by BUR Rizzoli in paperback (191 pages, in Italian).
«Adelchi», set in the eighth century, narrates the fall of the Lombard kingdom before Charlemagne through the siblings Adelchi and Ermengarda, heirs of a lineage condemned by Frankish power. Manzoni explores the clash between individual happiness and the reasons of power, with echoes of the Italian Risorgimento.
With an edition edited by Alberto Giordano, it is part of the BUR Classici collection (number 71).
Recommended for readers of classical theatre and Italian literature interested in historical drama and the political backdrop of the Risorgimento.
