I Caratteri

I Caratteri presents an Italian translation of Jean de La Bruyère's renowned work, "Les Caractères ou les Moeurs de ce Siècle." This edition, attributed to Theophrastus, Jean de La Bruyère, and Giuseppe Antonio Costantini, offers readers insights into the manners and morals of 17th-century French society through a series of sharp, witty character sketches. La Bruyère's observations provide a compelling reflection on human nature and the social dynamics of his time. The work remains relevant for its astute commentary on enduring aspects of human behavior and societal structures.
