Citando sus palabras "tragedias de horrores y escenas de maldad, con intermedios de hazanas virtuosas". Pero lo grande de la novela, es su riqueza argumental, que tiene como fondo la Guerra de los Treinta Anos y la dominacion espanola de Italia, ademas del interes que tienen las peripecias de los protagonistas Renzo y Lucia, que solo pueden casarse despues de vicisitudes sin cuento.
Considered the greatest novel in Italian literature, Manzoni himself described it as a collection of "tragedies of horrors and scenes of wickedness with intervals of virtuous feats". But the greatest thing in this novel is its argumental richness that has as a background in the Thirty Years War and the Spanish invasion of Italy.

content to Apple's ITunes service. I have been listening,
enjoying and creating audio books for many years. With
