Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.
Scritte tra il 1824 e il 1832, le "Operette morali" sono tra i più alti capolavori della letteratura italiana: prose e dialoghi che hanno per protagonisti personaggi storici, tra cui Tasso, Parini, Plotino, Copernico, e immaginari, come gnomi e folletti, maghi e diavoli; ma anche figure allegoriche ed emblematiche, come Terra e Luna, Sole e Morte. I temi sono gli stessi che percorrono le liriche dei "Canti": il rapporto dell'uomo con la storia, con i suoi simili e con l'indifferente Natura; il confronto tra i valori antichi e la degenerazione del presente; la potenza delle illusioni, l'infelicità, la gloria vana o impossibile, la noia nemica. La sorprendente modernità di quest'opera sta nella novità di linguaggio e di stili, nella variazione del tono dal fantastico al satirico al comico, pur nel costante tentativo di chiarire con inesausta forza di carattere un'amara filosofia. Il commento di Laura Melosi guida alla comprensione puntuale del testo, delle sue variate forme, dell'originalità dei suoi temi, nonché del suo rapporto con lo "Zibaldone". Arricchiscono questa edizione l'introduzione e i nuovi apparati: validi strumenti per conoscere la massima opera in prosa del poeta italiano.
