Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873)'s novel The Betrothed was first published in 1827 and is ranked among the masterpieces of world literature. He also wrote poems (his most famous, The Fifth of May, on the occasion of Napoleon's death), essays, and two tragedies, The Count of Carmagnola and Adelchi. In his life and in his writing, Manzoni was committed to the cause of Italian independence and the construction of a modern identity, language, culture, and society.Michael F. Moore's published translations range from twentieth-century classics-Agostino by Alberto Moravia and The Drowned and the Saved by Primo Levi-to contemporary novels, most recently Live Bait by Fabio Genovesi and Lost Words by Nicola Gardini. Moore is the chair of the advisory board for the PEN/Heim Translation Fund. He is also an interpreter at the United Nations and a full-time staff member of the Permanent Mission of Italy to the UN.
