"Leopardi was Italy's premier romantic poet and one of the great literary figures of 19th century Europe. . . . In Operette Morali, he presents a series of stunning dialogues and essays that are as unique, penetrating and blackly humorous as Kafka's parables or Beckett's plays."—San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle
