Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nel corso della sua vita Metastasio tenne corrispondenza con numerose personalità appartenenti ai contesti più disparati; queste lettere private riguardano ogni ambito della sua opera, riflettendo i valori della società, le convenzioni e il complesso scambio culturale del XVIII secolo. I testi raccolti in questo volume offrono uno sguardo sulle molteplici sfere d'azione del Metastasio uomo di lettere e di cultura. Raccontano della creatività artistica del poeta cesareo, della sua partecipazione attiva alla vita intellettuale del suo tempo, e della fine dell'ancien régime, unita alla consapevolezza della caducità di ogni cosa. Im Laufe seines Lebens korrespondierte Pietro Metastasio mit zahlreichen Persönlichkeiten aus unterschiedlichen Milieus; dieser Schriftverkehr betraf alle Bereiche seines Schaffens und spiegelt gesellschaftliche Werte, Konventionen und den komplexen Kulturaustausch im 18. Jahrhundert wider. Die in diesem Band ausgewählten Briefe geben einen Einblick in die vielschichtigen Wirkungskreise des Literaten und Universalgelehrten Metastasio. Sie berichten von der künstlerischen Kreativität des Hofpoeten, von seiner aktiven Teilnahme am intellektuellen Leben seiner Zeit, sowie vom Ende des ancien régime, das mit dem Bewusstein der Vergänglichkeit aller Dinge einher ging. In the course of his life, Pietro Metastasio corresponded with numerous personalities from different milieus; this private correspondence concerned all areas of his creative work, reflecting the social values, onventions, and complex cultural exchanges of the eighteenth century. The letters selected provide insight into the multi- layered spheres of activity of the literary figure and polymath Metastasio. They chronicle the artistic creativity of the court poet and his active participation in the intellectual life of his time, but also the end of the ancien régime, coupled with an awareness of the transience of all things.

Download or read book Maybe Esther written by Katja Petrowskaja and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Bestseller Maybe Esther is the inventive, unique, and extraordinarily moving debut memoir that pieces together the fascinating story of one woman’s family across twentieth-century Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and Germany. Katja Petrowskaja wanted to create a kind of family tree, charting relatives who had scattered across multiple countries and continents. Her idea blossomed into this striking and highly original work of narrative nonfiction, an account of her search for meaning within the stories of her ancestors. In a series of short meditations, Petrowskaja delves into family legends, introducing a remarkable cast of characters: Judas Stern, her great-uncle, who shot a German diplomatic attaché in 1932 and was sentenced to death; her grandfather Semyon, who went underground with a new name during the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, forever splitting their branch of the family from the rest; her grandmother Rosa, who ran an orphanage in the Urals for deaf-mute Jewish children; her Ukrainian grandfather Vasily, who disappeared during World War II and reappeared without explanation forty-one years later—and settled back into the family as if he’d never been gone; and her great-grandmother, whose name may have been Esther, who alone remained in Kiev and was killed by the Nazis. How do you talk about what you can’t know, how do you bring the past to life? To answer this complex question, Petrowskaja visits the scenes of these events, reflecting on a fragmented and traumatized century and bringing to light family figures who threaten to drift into obscurity. A true search for the past reminiscent of Jonathan Safran Foer’s Everything Is Illuminated, Daniel Mendelsohn’s The Lost, and Michael Chabon’s Moonglow, Maybe Esther is a poignant, haunting investigation of the effects of history on one family.

Download or read book Socrates or on Human Knowledge written by Simone Luzzatto and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Socrates, Or On Human Knowledge, published in Venice in 1651, is the only work written by a Jew that contains so far the promise of a genuinely sceptical investigation into the validity of human certainties. Simone Luzzatto masterly developed this book as a pièce of theatre where Socrates, as main actor, has the task to demonstrate the limits and weaknesses of the human capacity to acquire knowledge without being guided by revelation. He achieved this goal by offering an overview of the various and contradictory gnosiological opinions disseminated since ancient times: the divergence of views, to which he addressed the most attention, prevented him from giving a fixed definition of the nature of the cognitive process. This obliged him to come to the audacious conclusion of neither affirming nor denying anything concerning human knowledge, and finally of suspending his judgement altogether. This work unfortunately had little success in Luzzatto’s lifetime, and was subsequently almost forgotten. The absence of substantial evidence from his contemporaries and that of his epistolary have thus increased the difficulty of tracing not only its legacy in the history of philosophical though, but also of understanding the circumstances surrounding the writing of his Socrates. The present edition will be a preliminary study aiming to shed some light on the philosophical and historical value of this work’s translation, indeed it will provide a broader readership with the opportunity to access this immensely complicated work and also to grasp some aspects of the composite intellectual framework and admirable modernity of Venetian Jewish culture in the ghetto.
