5.0 out of 5 stars A classic for all Italian students, June 27, 2005
By 
This review is from: I Promessi Sposi, The Betrothed (Harvard Classics, Part 21) (Paperback)
I first "had" to read this book while in school in Italy and wrote a summary for each chapter read. At the time (I was only a pre-teen) I did not fully appreciate this book. Last week I re-read it and at as a 41-year old adult I saw things I had never before. The main story of Renzo and Lucia's attempt to get married is woven through a number of events - historical and fictitious - that depict the area around Milan in the mid-1600's. The scenes of desperation, faith, pestilence and redemption stay with you and now I finally appreciate why this book has been, for generations, a must-read for all Italian students. The book is quite long and takes time to read, but it is well worth it.
