Reprinted 1986Τίτλος πρωτοτύπου: Il Libro del CortegianoIndex: p. 363-367Notes: p. 347-361Discretion and decorum, nonchalance and gracefulness. These are the qualities of the complete and perfect courtier, described by Castiglione in a series of imaginary conversations between the principal members of the court of Urbino in 1507. Castiglione's book is of enormous historical value as a deeply felt account of the ideals of the Italian Renaissance at the moment of its greatest splendour. But the enduring topicality of some of the issues raised in The Book of the Courtier, together with the author's sensitivity to atmosphere, his powers of narrative and delicate psychological perception, make it, in addition, a highly skilful and entertaining comedy of manners. In this polished translation by George Bull, the reader will savour the refinement and vivacity of a work which has been said to rank with Ariosto's Orlando Furioso as the supreme literary expression of the Italian Renaissance and its achievementsΙταλική λογοτεχνίαΙταλικό μυθιστόρημαΞενόγλωσσα βιβλία (Λογοτεχνία)URN:ISBN:014044192156931 |
