The Betrothed Zusammenfassung

The Betrothed Alessandro Manzoni

'I pity this house; the curse of God is hanging over it'

Two lovers must face tyrants, war, riots, plague and famine as they struggle to be together, in this teeming panorama of seventeenth-century Italian life - the original historical novel.

The Betrothed Bewertungen

It is a corker of a book, twisting and turning, and shows the novel at a strange pass between the romance and Gothic impetus of the previous century and the psychological realism of the coming one. -- Jerome de Groot * History Today *
[The Betrothed] promises to be the commencement of a new style in novel writing -- Edgar Allan Poe

Über Alessandro Manzoni

Alessandro Manzoni was born in 1785 near Lake Como, Italy. Sent to boarding school at the age of five, he felt estranged from his family, particularly when his mother left his father. As a young man Manzoni subscribed to the ideas of the French Revolution, joining his mother in Paris, where he married Henriette Blondel in 1808. He wrote throughout his life, but suffered from a nervous disorder which grew progressively worse through his lifetime. He died in 1873.
