Book excerpt: This is the black and white edition, for a color edition please see : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VCYDH9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Bilingual edition: original letters in English translated into Italian by Stefania Iannella***You will read the moving words of common people who, calling themselves "laymen" and admitting that they do not know how to distinguish "even just a note from another", perceive the true essence of classical music. In fact, most of these writings describe the highest musical experience: the mystical elevation. These American fans thank Arturo Toscanini for the "pure joy" resulting from the concerts he directed. They feel they are in celestial realms, thus forgetting their earthly sufferings.***In addition to the twenty-one letters from the admirers, an unpublished letter from Dora Mary Penny Powell (Dorabella) of singular musicological importance is also disclosed, as it reveals some key elements to solve an enigma. The famous yet unsolved mystery concerning the melody hidden in Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations (1899) could thus finally be revealed. ***La musica classica è una prerogativa di un'élite di soli intenditori? Questi ammiratori, autodefinendosi al contrario "profani" in ambito musicale e ammettendo di non saper distinguere "neanche una nota dall'altra", intuiscono la vera essenza della musica classica. In buona parte di questi scritti è, infatti, descritta l'esperienza musicale per eccellenza: l'elevazione mistica. Leggerete le parole commosse di persone che, grazie alla "gioia pura" derivante dall'ascolto dei concerti diretti da Toscanini, sentono di ritrovarsi in regni celestiali, dimenticando così le proprie sofferenze terrene. Tanto entusiasmo, tanta dedizione al mondo Sublime della musica classica sono espressi attraverso le più sincere impressioni raccontate da persone disparate, che proclamano però all'unisono l'effetto sovrannaturale della musica diretta da Arturo Toscanini. Libro contenente rivelazioni sulle "Enigma Variations " di Elgar.Questa è l'edizione in bianco e nero, per chi preferisce vedere e conservare le riproduzioni delle lettere nei loro colori originali, l'edizione a colori è acquistabile a questo link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VCYDH9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860

Download or read book A History of the World in 12 Maps written by Jerry Brotton and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller “Maps allow the armchair traveler to roam the world, the diplomat to argue his points, the ruler to administer his country, the warrior to plan his campaigns and the propagandist to boost his cause… rich and beautiful.” – Wall Street Journal Throughout history, maps have been fundamental in shaping our view of the world, and our place in it. But far from being purely scientific objects, maps of the world are unavoidably ideological and subjective, intimately bound up with the systems of power and authority of particular times and places. Mapmakers do not simply represent the world, they construct it out of the ideas of their age. In this scintillating book, Jerry Brotton examines the significance of 12 maps - from the almost mystical representations of ancient history to the satellite-derived imagery of today. He vividly recreates the environments and circumstances in which each of the maps was made, showing how each conveys a highly individual view of the world. Brotton shows how each of his maps both influenced and reflected contemporary events and how, by considering it in all its nuances and omissions, we can better understand the world that produced it. Although the way we map our surroundings is more precise than ever before, Brotton argues that maps today are no more definitive or objective than they have ever been. Readers of this beautifully illustrated and masterfully argued book will never look at a map in quite the same way again. “A fascinating and panoramic new history of the cartographer’s art.” – The Guardian “The intellectual background to these images is conveyed with beguiling erudition…. There is nothing more subversive than a map.” – The Spectator “A mesmerizing and beautifully illustrated book.” —The Telegraph

Download or read book The Imagined Immigrant written by Ilaria Serra and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using original sources--such as newspaper articles, silent movies, letters, autobiographies, and interviews--Ilaria Serra depicts a large tapestry of images that accompanied mass Italian migration to the U.S. at the turn of the twentieth century. She chooses to translate the Italian concept of immaginario with the Latin imago that felicitously blends the double English translation of the word as "imagery" and "imaginary." Imago is a complex knot of collective representations of the immigrant subject, a mental production that finds concrete expression; impalpable, yet real. The "imagined immigrant" walks alongside the real one in flesh and rags.

Download or read book The Work of Art written by Gérard Genette and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What art is--its very nature--is the subject of this book by one of the most distinguished continental theorists writing today. Informed by the aesthetics of Nelson Goodman and referring to a wide range of cultures, contexts, and media, The Work of Art seeks to discover, explain, and define how art exists and how it works. To this end, Gérard Genette explores the distinction between a work of art's immanence--its physical presence--and transcendence--the experience it induces. That experience may go far beyond the object itself.Genette situates art within the broad realm of human practices, extending from the fine arts of music, painting, sculpture, and literature to humbler but no less fertile fields such as haute couture and the culinary arts. His discussion touches on a rich array of examples and is bolstered by an extensive knowledge of the technology involved in producing and disseminating a work of art, regardless of whether that dissemination is by performance, reproduction, printing, or recording. Moving beyond examples, Genette proposes schemata for thinking about the different manifestations of a work of art. He also addresses the question of the artwork's duration and mutability.

Book excerpt: On Tyranny is Leo Strauss’s classic reading of Xenophon’s dialogue Hiero, or Tyrannicus, in which the tyrant Hiero and the poet Simonides discuss the advantages and disadvantages of exercising tyranny. Included are a translation of the dialogue from its original Greek, a critique of Strauss’s commentary by the French philosopher Alexandre Kojève, and the complete correspondence between the two. This revised and expanded edition introduces important corrections throughout and expands Strauss’s restatement of his position in light of Kojève’s commentary to bring it into conformity with the text as it was originally published in France.
