The great Honor and authority men haue in thys World, and the greater their efiimation is, the more fenfible and notorious are the faultes by theim committed, and the greater is their (launder. In lyke manner more difficult it is for that man to tolerate and fus tayme Fortune, which al the dayes of his life hath lyued at his cafe, if by chaunce he fall into any great neceflity than for bym whych neuer felt but woe, mifhap, and aduerfity. Dyonifius the Tyraunt of Scicilia, felt greater payne when hee was expelled his Kyng dome, than Milo did, beinge banifhed from Rome: for to mutch as the one was a Soueraygne Lorde, the fonne of a Kynge, a iuiticiary on Earth, and the other but a fimple Citizen ofa Citty, wherein the People had Lawes, and the Lawes of Magis trates were had in reuerence.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating historical account of a secret marriage and its tragic consequences. Set in 16th-century Italy, the story tells of the forbidden love between a noblewoman, the Duchess of Malfi, and her household steward, Antonio Bologna. The author vividly portrays the social and political context of the time, where strict class divisions and family honour held sway. The Duchess, a widow with a young son, defies convention by secretly marrying Bologna, a man of lower rank. Their clandestine affair produces children, but their happiness is short-lived. The Duchess's brothers, enraged by the revelation of her marriage, relentlessly pursue Bologna, determined to avenge the perceived slight to their family name. The story unfolds as a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of societal pressures. The book explores the themes of forbidden love, the power of societal norms, and the fragility of human happiness. It offers a poignant examination of the choices women faced in a patriarchal society and the lengths to which they went to assert their independence. Ultimately, this historical account provides a thought-provoking reflection on the enduring power of love and the sacrifices it may demand.
