This collection of poetry by Amalia Guglielminetti offers a glimpse into the introspective and lyrical style of early twentieth century Italian literature. The language is refined and evocative, often using complex metaphors to explore themes of youth, desire, and melancholy. For a learner, the text presents a moderate challenge due to its poetic structure and sophisticated vocabulary. You will encounter rhythmic phrasing and nuanced emotional descriptions that require careful attention to understand the subtle shifts in tone and imagery throughout the verses.

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 1 h 26 min at a native pace, spread over 160 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
