Title
Le mie prigioni; adapted for English schools [My Prisons]. London: Librairie Hachette, 1884.
Description
This is Silvio Pellico's much reprinted memoirs of his 10 years imprisonment in the Hapsburg's prison in Spielberg for advocating for the freedom of Italy from Bourbon rule.
There in prison he met several Italians who became refugees to the U.S., including Pietro Maroncelli.
It is that somewhat slim connection that brings a copy of this famous work, in an unremarkable school edition, into the Collection.
