(Antonio) Libro proibito Interdetto -- Epigrammi -- Note agli Epigrammi -- Poesie Satiriche -- Note alle Poesie Satiriche -- Arcadia Moderna: Anacreontiche Produced by Carlo Traverso, Claudio Paganelli and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Libro proibito" by Antonio Ghislanzoni is a satirical collection of poetry written in the late 19th century. The work delves into societal norms, politics, and morality, exploring themes of hypocrisy and human vice through sharp wit and humor. The collection, structured around epigrams, presents a voice that seems both critical and self-aware, as it grapples with the complications of literary expression in a changing world. The opening of "Libro proibito" introduces the author’s paradoxical stance on writing and the nature of his work. Ghislanzoni presents a preface filled with self-deprecating humor, openly questioning the value of his verses while simultaneously lamenting their publication. He asserts that the content may be immoral or unappealing, aimed at exposing societal flaws rather than delighting the refined reader. This candid admission sets the tone for the collection, which promises sharp critiques of political figures, societal expectations, and literary fashions, all while engaging readers with a blend of cynicism and irony.
