Alessandro Manzoni
Fecha de nacimiento: 7. Marzo 1785
Fecha de muerte: 22. Mayo 1873
Alessandro Francesco Tommaso Manzoni fue uno de los mejores poetas y escritores italianos.
La famosísima novela Los novios es su obra más conocida; y aún hoy es considerada una referencia básica dentro de la literatura italiana: asumiendo que la lengua florentina era más culta y característica de Italia que la lengua lombarda del autor, se fue a vivir a Florencia para aprenderla bien y dijo que había tenido que ir «a aclarar la ropa al Arno», es decir, reescribió la obra en italiano de Florencia.
Frases Alessandro Manzoni
„But what is history, Don Ferrante would often say, without politics? A guide who walks on and on with no one following to learn the road, so that his every step is wasted; just as politics without history is like a man who walks along without a guide.“
— Alessandro Manzoni
Context: But what is history, Don Ferrante would often say, without politics? A guide who walks on and on with no one following to learn the road, so that his every step is wasted; just as politics without history is like a man who walks along without a guide.
Ch. 27, p. 374
Variant translation:
<!-- His knowledge of history, especially universal history, was not less vast and solid. --> "But," said he often, "what is history without politics? a guide who conducts without teaching any one the way; as politics without history, is a man without a guide to conduct him."
Richard Bentley translation (1834)
