My Ten Years' Imprisonment (1886)

My Ten Years' Imprisonment is an autobiographical book written by Silvio Pellico, an Italian writer and patriot who was imprisoned by the Austrian government for his involvement in the Italian unification movement. The book recounts Pellico's experiences during his ten-year imprisonment, which included long periods of solitary confinement, physical and emotional abuse, and constant surveillance. Pellico describes the harsh conditions of his imprisonment, as well as his mental and emotional struggles as he tries to maintain his sanity and hope for the future. Throughout the book, Pellico reflects on his own character and the nature of human suffering, and he offers insights into the political and social climate of 19th-century Italy. My Ten Years' Imprisonment is a powerful and moving account of one man's struggle for survival and dignity in the face of oppression and injustice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
