Additions to My Prisons is a memoir written by Silvio Pellico, an Italian writer and patriot who was imprisoned for his political beliefs in the early 19th century. The book details his experiences in prison, including the harsh conditions, the treatment of prisoners, and the psychological toll of long-term confinement. Pellico writes about his fellow inmates and their struggles, as well as his own thoughts and feelings during his imprisonment. The book also includes a biographical notice of Pellico, written by his friend and fellow prisoner, Piero Maroncelli. Maroncelli provides background information on Pellico's life and career, including his involvement in the Italian nationalist movement and his literary achievements. Overall, Additions to My Prisons is a powerful and moving account of one man's struggle for freedom and justice in a time of political upheaval. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity, and a reminder of the importance of fighting for what we believe in.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
