The Betrothed ("I Promessi Sposi") is one of the greatest European historical novels. As its title impies, it an epic love story in Lombardy on the late 1620s. It is no spoiler to say, and you will be relieved to know, that the two young lovers eventually marry. But it is what happens along that way that makes The Betrothed so engaging and instructive. The Betrothed fictionalizes in great detail the historical realities of the Thirty Years War and the Great Plague that struck Milan around 1630. "They heard with a smile of incredulity and contempt any who hazarded a word on the danger, or who even mentioned the plague. The same incredulity, the same blindness, the same obstinacy, prevailed in the senate, the council of ten, and in all the judicial bodies. Cardinal Frederick alone enjoined his curates to impress upon the people the importance of declaring every case, and of sequestrating all infected or suspected goods. The Tribunal of Health, prompted by the two physicians, who fully apprehended the danger, did take some tardy measures; but in vain. A proclamation to prevent the entrance of strangers into the city was not published until the 29th of November. This was too late; the plague was already in Milan."

"A gift to humanity" - Giuseppe Verde." The book's real greatness lies in its delineation of character" -- The Penguin Companion to European Literature." The Great Italian Novel" - The Wall Street Journal. Manzoni's The Betrothed is indeed "The Great Italian Novel." It is the story of the love and enforced separation of a young peasant boy and girl in northern Italy, during the seventeenth century plague, in a world of foreign domination, church power, and feudalism. These are the very forces that have made Italy, and to read The Betrothed is to deeply understand Italian history. Beyond history, Manzoni creates a wide range of vivid characters. Lucia, the heroine, Padre Cristoforo, a Capuchin friar, and Cardinal Federico Borromeo (a historical figure, and cousin of Saint Charles Borromeo) are varied examples of wholehearted goodness. In addition, there are sympathetic portraits of a wide range of other characters who fall short, perhaps well short, of Christian ideals. The novel is famous for its extraordinary description of the Italian Plague of 1629-1631 which ravaged northern and central Italy, throwing society into confusion and killing perhaps a million people. The Betrothed is a historical romance par excellence-probing the human condition and thoroughly examining Italian history. It was initially published in three volumes from 1825 to 1827. Manzoni feared it would have only twenty-five readers. However, it soon became the most read Italian novel, and by 1839 it had gone through numerous official printings, and in addition there were no less than 59 unauthorised editions in Italian and fourteen in foreign languages. Today almost all Italians have read it, at least once, and many enjoy quoting from it. Phrases from the novel have entered the Italian language. It is regarded as one of the masterpieces of world literature. The novel is a symbol of the Risorgimento, Italian Unification, because of its patriotic message and its fundamental role in the development of the modern unified Italian language. Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873) was an Italian novelist, poet and philosopher, most famous for The Betrothed. Manzoni ranks second only to Dante in Italian literary history. Verdi claimed that The Betrothed (1827) is "a gift to humanity." According to the critic, Georg Luk cs The Betrothed is a universal portrait of Italy so complete that it exhausted the genre of the historical novel. All Italian children read it in schoolAbout this edition: The Betrothed was originally published in three volumes. This edition is complete, containing all three volumes. The text is set in a generous eleven point font.

Considered one of the most important and widely read novels ever written in the Italian language, "The Betrothed (I Promessi Sposi)" is Alessandro Manzoni's 1827 historical novel, which details the terribly oppressive rule of the Spanish over Italy in the early 1600s. At the center of the novel is the story of two young lovers, Renzo and Lucia, whose marriage is forbidden by the local baron, who wishes to wed the lovely Lucia himself. Forced to flee their homes, Renzo and Lucia are separated and must struggle against the ravages of war, famine, and the plague to be reunited again. While in essence a simple and affecting love story, "The Betrothed" is also a fascinating and detailed glimpse into a dramatic and tumultuous period in Italy's history. Famed for its depiction of young love, devotion, and fidelity, the novel is also noted for its incredibly realistic depictions of the real-life plague that ravaged Milan, as well as the subsequent bread shortages and violent unrest. Manzoni's "The Betrothed" is an epic Italian masterpiece. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
