«Ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis» is the epistolary novel by Ugo Foscolo, published by Garzanti in paperback (256 pages, in Italian).
After the Treaty of Campo Formio, Jacopo flees Venice and falls in love with Teresa in the Euganean Hills, betrothed to Odoardo. His letters reflect an impossible love and patriotic disillusionment in the face of foreign oppression; neither the landscape nor old Parini consoles him. The tragic ending is an indictment of double disappointment.
Ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis was originally published in 1802. This 2008 edition belongs to the I grandi libri collection (no. 92) and includes an introduction by Walter Binni.
For readers of Italian classics and literature students; it is a reference work of Italian Romanticism and is often school reading.
Ugo Foscolo, born Niccolò Foscolo, was an Italian writer, revolutionary and poet.
