This foundational text in criminal anthropology explores the complex origins of criminal behavior. Written in the late nineteenth century, the prose is academic and dense, featuring long, intricate sentences that reflect the scientific discourse of the era. You will encounter specialized vocabulary related to medicine, sociology, and law. This book is a demanding read for language learners due to its formal structure and complex syntax, yet it offers a fascinating look at how historical thinkers analyzed human nature and social order.

Questions about this book

What level of Italian do I need for this book?

The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.

Is this book really free?

Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.

How does reading with a translation work?

Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.

How long does it take to read?

About 18 h 33 min at a native pace, spread over 52 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
