Publisher's Synopsis

""Delle Satire E Rime Libri 2"" is a collection of satirical poems and sonnets written by the famous Italian poet, Lodovico Ariosto. The book was originally published in 1731 and contains two volumes. The first volume consists of satirical poems that criticize the social and political systems of Ariosto's time. The second volume contains sonnets that explore themes of love, beauty, and nature. Ariosto's satirical poems are known for their sharp wit and biting commentary on the corruption and hypocrisy of the ruling class. He uses humor and irony to expose the flaws in the society of his time, taking aim at everything from the church to the nobility. In contrast, the sonnets in the second volume of the book are more romantic in nature. Ariosto's poetry celebrates the beauty of nature and the power of love. He writes about the joys and sorrows of love, the fleeting nature of beauty, and the importance of living in the present moment. Overall, ""Delle Satire E Rime Libri 2"" is an important work in Italian literature, showcasing the talent and versatility of one of the country's most celebrated poets.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
