Last Letters Of Jacopo Ortis by Ugo Foscolo
A Novel in Letters
The book is a poignant epistolary novel that delves into the emotional turmoil of a young Italian intellectual, torn between his passionate love for a woman and his despair over the political situation in his homeland. As he grapples with unrequited love and the loss of his country's freedom following its annexation by a foreign power, the protagonist's letters reveal his deepening melancholy and his philosophical reflections on love, death, and patriotism. The novel, rich in its exploration of human emotions and national identity, ultimately leads to a tragic conclusion, reflecting the author's own disillusionment with the political climate of his time.
