(P/B) DIALOGUE BETWEEN FASHION AND DEATH

Παρουσίαση

Leopardi, poet and philosopher, explores in humorous but savage dialogue the power of fashion and its strange irrationality. He also imagines conversations between Hercules and Atlas, Nature and an Icelander, and the Earth and the Moon, as well as producing a simple essay praising the humble bird. (From the publisher)
