Wit and Wisdom of the Italian Renaissance (Chinese Edition)
(This book is a monograph recording witty remarks , wisecr...)
This book is a monograph recording witty remarks , wisecracks and jokes of the Italian Renaissance, which is very similar to Chinas The Great Collection of Jokes. The author, Charles Speroni excerpted and compiled in the book the works of over 10 writers including Poggio·Bracciolini, Ludovico·Capon, Peoria·Allott, Angelo·Poliziano, Nicosia·Ange·Dahl·Butch, Giovanni·Pontano, Ludovico·Duominiqi, Ludovico·Guicciardini, Bardasare·Castiglione, (and some of them are not the real author, but these works are classified in their name). This book boasts smooth writing, rich content, vivid narrative and interesting taste. The book not only portrays for us the colorful society, human conditions in the Italian Renaissance period, it is also a rare monograph and synthesizer in humorous literature.
