Lettere D'una Peruviana [Italian]

By Françoise de Graffigny

Lettere d'una Peruviana is an epistolary novel originally written in French by Fran oise de Graffigny, first published in 1747. This edition is in Italian. The novel tells the story of Zilia, an Inca princess abducted from Peru and brought to Europe. Through her letters to her beloved Aza, she recounts her experiences and observations of French society, offering a critical perspective on European customs and values.

Zilia's letters explore themes of cultural difference, colonialism, and female identity. Her unique perspective, as both a noblewoman and a captive, provides a powerful commentary on the social and political landscape of the 18th century. This edition offers readers the chance to experience Grafigny's influential work in the Italian language, highlighting the novel's enduring appeal and its contribution to feminist and postcolonial thought.
