What Our Customers Say...
Description
Fine Binding, Leather Binding
Goldoni is admired for his honest portrayal of humanity, as well as his quick wit. For his subjects he often dramatised the lives of the new Italian middle classes. He was a Venetian, and was unafraid of making use of regional vernacular dialects. Perhaps even more subversive was his disinterest in religious subjects. After moving to France following a feud, he even adopted an anti-clerical tone. In France he found further success writing in French, and wrote a play which was produced in honour of the marriage of Louis XVI to Marie Antoinette. Collected here are some of his comedies in the Italian language.

Firmly bound.
Very Good
