For readers of historical fiction and nineteenth-century European classics, especially those who enjoy love stories hindered by power.
Alessandro Francesco Tommaso Antonio Manzoni was an Italian philosopher, poet, playwright, and novelist. He is best known for the novel The Betrothed, generally ranked among the masterpieces of world literature. The novel, published in 1827, is a symbol of the Italian Risorgimento for its patriotic message, and also because it was a fundamental milestone in the development of the modern and unified Italian language.
