The Book of the Courtier by conte Baldassare Castiglione
ISBN: 9780140441925 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 368 PUBLICATION DATE: 24.06.1976 DIMENSIONS: 198mmX129mmX21mm 269grams
DESCRIPTION: In "The Book of the Courtier" (1528), Baldesar Castiglione, a diplomat and Papal Nuncio to Rome, sets out to define the essential virtues for those at Court. In a lively series of imaginary conversations between the real-life courtiers to the Duke of Urbino, his speakers discuss qualities of noble behaviour - chiefly discretion, decorum, nonchalance and gracefulness - as well as wider questions such as the duties of a good government and the true nature of love. Castiglione's narrative power and psychological perception make this guide both an entertaining comedy of manners and a revealing window onto the ideals and preoccupations of the Italian Renaissance at the moment of its greatest splendour.
