Download or read book PURPUREA written by Raffaele Carlucci and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Non esiste l'alba Gisèlle" In questo "romanzo cinematografico" presento un epopea corale che fa dell'epica tragica il suo punto di forza. Sullo sfondo di una Russia divisa tra passato e modernità, nei primi anni del '900, si intrecciano le storie di un giovane soldato messo alle strette dalle atrocità della guerra civile, dei due gemelli Andrè e Gisèlle ritrovatisi dopo tredici anni in una super-natura solitaria e glaciale, e del sadico e spietato capitano Foska, personificazione del male assoluto. Quando le vie del soldato disilluso, dei gemelli amanti e del folle capitano si riuniranno, la tragedia attuerà il suo fatale destino, senza risparmiare nessuno. Purpurea è il mio primo romanzo, tratto da una sceneggiatura che scrissi da adolescente. Scriverlo è stato per me, e spero lo sarà anche leggerlo per voi, una straordinaria esperienza visiva, sublime ed angosciante allo stesso tempo.

Download or read book Through Human Love to God written by Pamela Williams and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2007 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante and Petrarch are two of the world's greatest love poets who convey the story of their emotional, intellectual, and religious life in part through a story of human love. The focus here is not so much on the myriad symbolic values and associations of Beatrice and Laura but rather both on the attitudes of these two poets to sexual desire in order to throw some light on the character of their human love and on the status and value they give to human love in the context of their Christian lives.For all the stark contrasts between them, Dante and Petrarch have been often compared, for they write in a common literary, classical, and Christian tradition. The comparison generally leads to the conclusion that Dante describes his human love experience as positive and constructive whilst Petrarch's experience of love is negative and destructive. My intention here is not to polarize their views in this way, but rather to identify the different yet positive and highly original value both poets attribute to human love. More than fifty years ago, Etienne Gilson claimed that Peter Abelard turned to loving God in the way that Heloise had loved him, with the disinterestedness which she claimed in loving him and which she accused him of never understanding in loving her. It is the general argument of this study that Dante and Petrarch, as well as leaving their original mark on the treatment of love in literature, have insights into religion, personal to them, which can be likewise characterized by examining their attitude to human love and the story of their personal loves. There are many more aspects to their Catholicism than are examined in these essays. The discussion here is of that part of their faith which grows out of, is coloured by, or at least can be explored, through their human loving.

Download or read book Dante and the Origins of Italian Literary Culture written by Teodolinda Barolini and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Teodolinda Barolini explores the sources of Italian literary culture in the figures of its lyric poets and its “three crowns”: Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio. Barolini views the origins of Italian literary culture through four prisms: the ideological/philosophical, the intertextual/multicultural, the structural/formal, and the social. The essays in the first section treat the ideology of love and desire from the early lyric tradition to the Inferno and its antecedents in philosophy and theology. In the second, Barolini focuses on Dante as heir to both the Christian visionary and the classical pagan traditions (with emphasis on Vergil and Ovid). The essays in the third part analyze the narrative character of Dante’s Vita nuova, Petrarch’s lyric sequence, and Boccaccio’s Decameron. Barolini also looks at the cultural implications of the editorial history of Dante’s rime and at what sparso versus organico spells in the Italian imaginary. In the section on gender, she argues that the didactic texts intended for women’s use and instruction, as explored by Guittone, Dante, and Boccaccio—but not by Petrarch—were more progressive than the courtly style for which the Italian tradition is celebrated. Moving from the lyric origins of the Divine Comedy in “Dante and the Lyric Past” to Petrarch’s regressive stance on gender in “Notes toward a Gendered History of Italian Literature”—and encompassing, among others, Giacomo da Lentini, Guido Cavalcanti, and Guittone d’Arezzo—these sixteen essays by one of our leading critics frame the literary culture of thirteenth-and fourteenth-century Italy in fresh, illuminating ways that will prove useful and instructive to students and scholars alike.
