Canti
Giacomo Leopardi's collection of poems, generally considered one of the most significant works of Italian poetry, in a Penguin Classics edition of 2010.
Canti is a collection of poems by Giacomo Leopardi, written in 1835 and generally considered one of the most significant works of Italian poetry. Leopardi lived from 1798 to 1837. Dacia Maraini prefers him to the Catholic classics because he has no idea of guilt and punishment and does not believe in another world, and she knows his poem about a wandering shepherd in Asia by heart. This Penguin Classics edition runs to 528 pages.
