"Dialogue a seller of almanacs and a temporary " is one of the writings of the Florentine '32, the other is "Dialogue of Tristan and a friend."
Before analyzing the operetta in particular, must take a general discussion of the Opera. It
, based on the contents of twenty-four "stories" (tales, satirical prose) that compose it, can be divided into four groups, each of which corresponds to a particular center of interest:
The first group: the concepts of illusion and happiness
Group II: theories of nature and pleasure;
III group consciousness of the moral problems of man about himself and society.
The dialogue in question may be placed in the final group, consisting of six prose in which they return with more detailed issues contained in the tales of the preceding groups.

Considering the hopes of men in relation to the eternal passage of time, you get to that theory of the pleasure that shows how each is placed in the hope that brings joy of illusions, so that men, even the rich and powerful, never want to repeat the life's events, whatever it may be been, but take another without knowing anything about it.
Happiness is therefore in the hope of a future life.
The concept of dialogue is contained in the following passage of Zibaldone : "(...) in life that we experienced and we know for sure, we all have experienced more harm than good, and if we limit ourselves and also we want to live again , this is only the ignorance of the future, and an illusion of hope, without which illusion or ignorance will not want to live, as we would like to relive in the way we lived "(pp. 42-83, 229 -30).

The theory holds that man's pleasure always tends to seek an infinite pleasure, as the satisfaction of unlimited pleasure.
It is wanted by the imaginative faculty of man, with which real things that are not conceive.
That option is human happiness. Nature provides man
happiness as a tool to reach not the truth, but an illusory happiness. According
Leopardi, humanity could be closer to happiness in the ancient world, when the poor knowledge gives free rein to the imagination, in the modern world, however, led to the seizure of real imagination to weaken.
Illusions (glory, love of country, ...) are second nature and is the only antidote to the effects of reason and civilization, guastatrici the modern world.
illusions are, paradoxically, to be true, the reality is trivial. Even
Schopenhauer spoke of life as pain, " Human life is like a pendulum that constantly swings between ennui and pain, with fleeting intervals, and more illusory, pleasure and joy ." ( Schopenhauer, Aphorisms )
Life, for Schopenhauer, is but the expression of the will to live, forever unfulfilled desire is irrational: our desires , Our own love are merely the expression of this irrational Will to live, to perpetuate life.

significant step in the dialogue:
"That life which is a beautiful thing, is not the life that you know, but what you do not know, not the past life, but the future."

The life that you know is the past, mingled with good and evil and it is for them that nobody would want to relive it.
The future life is not known, but once lived will be equally bad.
Leopardi, one can not hope: the future as long as it is beautiful future.

Even in the current life expectancy is always connected to our future prospects.
Although commonplace to speak of "pessimism of Leopardi," I noticed that the poet-philosopher of Recanati speaks of an inability to hope not, but doing so will inevitably fall into a vicious circle that leads to eternal dissatisfaction. It is as if
Leopardi as an alternative defining the existence of illusion / disillusionment and happiness / unhappiness at the center of hope.
In the dialog, if I ever say so to impersonate one of the two speakers, I would choose the vendor almanacs: hope for is always a good thing, keep alive, happy, hope is part of the human soul, we move towards the future and we give valid reasons for acting, for better or ill.
I do not see, like Leopardi, more harm than good in human existence.
If there were no evil, pain, you do not know well.
