Edgar Allen Poe was one of its most avid foreign admirers,and the greatest of German poets, Goethe, praised it enthusiastically. To this day, Italians in general consider it as one of the greatest embodiment of their literature, education and culture...” “Throughout the years, several worthy attempts have been made to translate I Promessi Sposi into English, but the novel has yet to seize the imagination of the English-speaking world. This translation is an attempt to provide a popular, shortened version – to make it acceptable to the modern, hurried reader, while at the same time retaining the artistic and uplifting nature of the original work.” The book in in Very Good condition with a solid binding and clean pages.
