«Ultime Lettere di Jacopo Ortis» is the epistolary novel by Ugo Foscolo, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (97 pages, in Italian).
After the Treaty of Campo Formio, Jacopo Ortis flees Venice and retires to the Euganean Hills, where he meets Teresa and falls in love with her, knowing she is betrothed to Odoardo. His travels through an Italy under foreign oppression and his impossible love fuel the despair he pours into the letters addressed to his friend Lorenzo Alderani.
The work was originally published in 1802; this complete edition belongs to the Tascabili economici Newton collection and includes an introduction by Cesare Milanese.
A work commonly read in school curricula and a good starting point for those approaching nineteenth-century Italian literature.
Ugo Foscolo, born Niccolò Foscolo, was an Italian writer, revolutionary and poet.
