Synopsis
Mandragola / The Mandrake: A Dual-Language Edition
English and Italian Parallel Text – Perfect for Italian Language Learners and Renaissance Literature Students
Niccolò Machiavelli's Mandragola (1518), one of the greatest comedies of the Italian Renaissance, is a sharp, witty satire of human folly, desire, deception, and corruption. Often hailed as the finest comedy written between the ancient Roman playwrights and Shakespeare, this play follows the cunning schemes of Callimaco to seduce the virtuous Lucrezia, wife of the gullible lawyer Nicia, with the help of a clever parasite, a corrupt friar, and a miraculous (but entirely fabricated) mandrake root potion.
This specially prepared dual-column edition presents Machiavelli's original Italian text alongside a clear, accurate, and readable English translation on facing pages. Designed primarily for college and university students of Italian:
- Read the authentic Renaissance Italian to improve fluency, grasp idiomatic expressions, and appreciate Machiavelli's elegant yet biting prose.
- Use the parallel English to clarify meaning, check comprehension, and expand vocabulary without constant dictionary lookups.
- Ideal for intermediate to advanced Italian courses, Renaissance literature classes, theater studies, or self-study.
- Full original Italian text from a reliable scholarly edition.
- Faithful modern English translation by Professor Newbigin that preserves the humor, wordplay, and tone of the original.
- Classic five-act structure with clear scene divisions.
- Perfect for close reading, translation exercises, or performance preparation.
Discover why generations of readers have delighted in Machiavelli's only major comedic masterpiece—a timeless exploration of cunning, morality, and the absurdities of human nature.
