My Ten Years' Imprisonment (1886) - Pellico Silvio

My Ten Years' Imprisonment is a memoir written by Italian author Silvio Pellico in 1886. The book recounts Pellico's experience of being imprisoned for ten years in the Austrian fortress of Spielberg, where he was held as a political prisoner. Pellico was arrested in 1820 for his involvement in the Carbonari movement, which was a secret society that aimed to overthrow the Austrian rule in Italy. During his imprisonment, Pellico was subjected to inhumane treatment, including solitary confinement and physical torture. Despite the harsh conditions, Pellico managed to maintain his faith and hope, and he used his time in prison to reflect on his life and beliefs. The book is a powerful testament to the human spirit and the resilience of the human soul in the face of adversity. It is also a historical document that provides insight into the political and social context of Italy during the early 19th century. My Ten Years' Imprisonment is a must-read for anyone interested in Italian history, political activism, and the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
