From the publisher:
STORIE
DI GENI E DI FATE by Charlotte
Brontë
Edited and translated into Italian by Maddalena De Leo
English-Italian parallel text
The ArgoLibro publishing company presents, translated into Italian for the first time, the following tales: An Adventure, The Pursuit of Happiness and The
Adventures of Ernest Alembert, written by Charlotte Brontë when she was a teenager. The translator, Professor Maddalena De Leo,
took care of every detail of the publication, which has parallel English and Italian text. We are at the beginning of a special five-year
period for the Brontë family, for various occasions, including in 2016 the bicentenary of the birth of Charlotte, born on 21 April 1816
in Thornton, even if she lived in Haworth in Yorkshire. Maddalena De Leo is a scholar particularly
suitable for the care of this publication. A member of the Brontë Society since
1975, she is the representative of the Italian Section as
well as editorial consultant for Italy for the literary magazine Brontë Studies.
Leafing through this book, we will enjoy the fascinating
world constructed in the imagination of Charlotte, Emily, Anne and their
brother Branwell, with the Young Men as protagonists, that’s to say the twelve
soldiers given away a few years earlier by their father. It is definitely
amazing, as pointed out by the same curator, that the mind of a fourteen year
old could have imagined adventures so complex and rich in detail.
