Io non so né perché venni al mondo; né come; né cosa sia il mondo; né cosa io stesso mi sia. E s'io corro ad investigarlo, mi ritorno confuso d'una ignoranza sempre più spaventosa. Non so cosa sia il mio corpo, i miei sensi, l'anima mia; e questa stessa parte di me che pensa ciò ch'io scrivo, e che medita sopra di tutto e sopra se stessa, non può conoscersi mai. Invano io tento di misurare con la mente questi immensi spazi dell'universo che mi circondano. Mi trovo come attaccato a un piccolo angolo di uno spazio incomprensibile, senza sapere perché sono collocato piuttosto qui che altrove; o perché questo breve tempo della mia esistenza sia assegnato piuttosto a questo momento dell'eternità che a tutti quelli che precedevano, e che seguiranno. Io non vedo da tutte le parti altro che infinità le quali mi assorbono come un atomo.

giorgiareadsbooks's review against another edition

Up until now, I had totally forgotten about this book...
I read is right after "The Sorrows of Young Werther" and I definitely enjoyed that one more...
I can't say that it's a bad book because it's an italian classic and its importance in literature is not something to be underrated.... It just wasn't for me.
