The reader should, it would seem, gird himself or herself for a passionate display of love of language and its origins on the part of this author. This volume is a translation from the Italian, labor of love. Review: Wonderful! - It's difficult to review such a book as this translation of Leopardi's hodge podge of notes, diary entries, conversational remarks and massive digressions touches on seemingly every topic which crossed the great poet's mind. I have been waiting thirty years to see an English translation and this is one of the most useful, elegant books to be published by any academic or commercial publisher in a generation. FSG receives high praise for releasing this almost 2000 page edition, finally making available this great pathfinder's inner thoughts and everyday remarks. Leopardi was a man of all times, of a modern as well as classically trained sensibility whom we would do well to study and rediscover our civilizing roots in today's civil maelstrom.

Patrick Sulaiman Cole ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sui generis and sublime work; subpar paper *by C***. on August 15, 2014* Leopardi's Zibaldone deserves a whole cosmos of stars. This publisher's choice of paper, however, warrants barely a glimmer. They would have done well to follow the lead of various publishers' paper choices for hardback versions of Proust or Montaigne. Still, since it is the only version available in English translation, it gets five stars because—difficult though the pages be to turn precisely, and as much as they may make a marginalia maniac's life a struggle—it should be bought and read and reread, and, if owing to the shoddy paper, bought again and reread again. Alas, as Leopardi wrote: "In this respect, pleasure is similar to peace of mind. The more it is sought and desired in itself and alone, the less it is to be found and enjoyed . . . The very desire for peace of mind necessarily excludes it, and is incompatible with it." --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/806671620-zibaldone-the-notebooks-of-leopardi-penguin-hardback-classics](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/806671620-zibaldone-the-notebooks-of-leopardi-penguin-hardback-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
