In this volume, Alessandro Grazi offers the first intellectual
biography of the Italian Jewish writer and politician David Levi
(1816-1898). In this intriguing journey through the mysterious
rites of Freemasonry and the bizarre worldviews of
Saint-Simonianism, you can discover Levi's innovative
interpretation of Judaism and its role in modernity. As a champion
of dialogue with Catholic intellectuals, Levi's importance
transcends the Jewish world. The second part of the book presents
an unpublished document, Levi's comedy "Il Mistero delle Tre
Melarancie", a phantasmagorical adventure in search of his Jewish
identity, with an English translation of its most relevant excerpt.
