A historical novel that reads like a living archive, it offers classic literature with a pulse, inviting both casual readers and serious study for literature students. With a crisp, expansive voice, Manzoni's classic italian prose threads fate and providence through a pair of young lovers faced with marriage obligations, social class struggles, and the tremors of early seventeenth century italy set in lombardy. This edition breathes new life into a landmark of 19th century european literature, revealing a humane, morally urgent story that remains astonishingly contemporary while remaining faithful to its era and setting. It is more than a reprint; it is a cultural journal of life, belief, and community. A note on literary and historical significance: The Betrothed shaped national and literary identity, influencing generations of writers and readers who seek to understand how individuals navigate duty, faith, and communal expectations within a changing world. The work's enduring appeal lies in its precise social portraiture, its enduring themes, and its serene yet incisive realism. Selling points: Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a collectible classic edition for scholars and lovers of classical italian prose alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 370\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 21, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53534540824883,"sku":"9789354840968","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/the-betrothed-from-the-italian-of-alessandro-manzoni-paperback","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
