Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a collection of tragic tales selected and translated from a compendium of novellas written by the 16th-century Italian author Matteo Bandello. Bandello's stories offer a fascinating insight into the lives of 16th-century Italians, particularly those of the nobility, and provide a unique historical and literary perspective on the era. The author provides an extensive introduction to the text placing it within the dramatic and literary context of the Italian Renaissance. The tales themselves are vivid and varied, ranging from tales of illicit passion, domestic violence, and high-stakes gambles. The author, while acknowledging some of the criticisms leveled at Bandello's work, ultimately concludes that these stories are not only entertaining but also valuable for the insights they provide into the human condition in the 16th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
