Alessandro Francesco Tommaso Antonio Manzoni, meglio noto semplicemente come Alessandro Manzoni (Milano, 7 marzo 1785 – Milano, 22 maggio 1873), è stato uno scrittore, poeta e drammaturgo italiano.
Considerato uno dei maggiori romanzieri italiani di tutti i tempi per il suo celebre romanzo I promessi sposi, caposaldo della letteratura italiana, Manzoni ebbe il merito principale di aver gettato le basi per il romanzo moderno e di aver così patrocinato l'unità linguistica italiana, sulla scia di quella letteratura moralmente e civilmente impegnata propria dell'Illuminismo italiano.

Alessandro Manzoni was an Italian poet, novelist and philosopher. He is famous for the novel The Betrothed (orig. Italian: I promessi sposi) (1827), generally ranked among the masterpieces of world literature. The novel is also a symbol of the Italian Risorgimento, both for its patriotic message and because it was a fundamental milestone in the development of the modern, unified Italian language.

Ho salvato questo prezioso libro che stava per essere buttato via dopo la morte di una cara zia di mia madre. Della Libreria Editrice Domenico Briola, 1884 (settima edizione). Le due edizioni sono raffrontate dal prof. Riccardo Folli. Le correzioni (scritte in piccolo sopra) sono interessanti et che diventa e coll' che diventa con l'... cose così). Un libro tecnico e storico per approfondire. Magico a suo modo.

In realtà io ho una versione unica (non in 2 volumi) del 1884. Penso che sia stato un testo scolastico, essendo vergato da appunti a china e matita. Magico per ciò che rappresenta.
