Book Lettere di uno  sciocco  innamorato

Download or read book Lettere di uno sciocco innamorato written by Carlos Usín and published by Tektime. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ci sono parole magiche che fanno vere meraviglie: mi dispiace, scusa, è colpa mia. E altre che aprono possibilità infinite: ti amo, ho bisogno di te, non posso vivere senza di te. Per qualche strana ragione, esiste un'idea comune sbagliata che i buoni sentimenti per i nostri cari siano compresi, dati per scontati, assunti. Pertanto, da quella prospettiva, da un momento indefinito nel tempo, abbandoniamo la buona abitudine di mostrare i nostri sentimenti, smettiamo di dire ”ti amo”, ”ho bisogno di te”, ”mi piace questo o quello”, ecc. Sono sinceramente convinto che non basti fare un regalo di tanto in tanto, che sia una collana di diamanti, un mazzo di fiori o una scatola di cioccolatini. Sono un impenitente entusiasta della dimostrazione palpabile, fisica e persistente nel tempo, di esprimere ciò che proviamo per i nostri cari: il partner, i figli, gli amici, tutti. Lo facciamo con il cane e il gatto, perché non lo facciamo con gli esseri umani? Penso che dovremmo dare molti più abbracci, molti più baci, dire molti più ”ti amo”, molti più ”ho bisogno di te”, molti più ”sei la mia vita”. E oltre a comportarsi così ogni giorno, non sarebbe male lasciarlo per iscritto in modo che rimanga traccia di tutto questo. Hai provato a regalare una lettera d'amore a tua moglie con cui stai da anni? Hai provato a scrivere una pagina con la parola GRAZIE? Hai sicuramente un sacco di motivi per dire grazie. È solo questione di sedersi per qualche minuto, riflettere per qualche minuto e mettere su carta ciò che hai nel cuore. Non sembra molto difficile. Penso che più di uno sarebbe sorpreso dai risultati che otterrebbe. Translator: Debora Vignaroli PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Book   Ti scrivo che ti amo

Download or read book Ti scrivo che ti amo written by Guido Davico Bonino and published by Utet. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Dopo una serata tristissima e dopo una notte quasi insonne, sono uscito stamane di casa alle nove e sono andato a vedere se tra la posta di quell'ora ci fosse la lettera desiderata ed aspettata con una così terribile ansietà. Non c'era», scrive un disperato Gabriele D'Annunzio a Barbara Leoni, e continua: «Se alle cinque non arrivasse la lettera? Se io rimanessi tutto il giorno senza sapere nulla di te? Sarebbe orribile. Io non ci posso pensare senza terrore.» Le lettere del passato ci parlano d'amore in modi e toni spesso diversi dai nostri. Hanno presupposti ormai a noi sconosciuti: la distanza, il segreto, l'attesa. Per gli amanti lontani è il tentativo di mantenere vivo un legame sfidando i chilometri e i tempi lunghi delle poste; per gli amanti vicini la lettera è invece il luogo in cui si confessano le paure, i bisogni, ciò che un tempo a voce spesso non si poteva dire. Per entrambi, vicini e lontani, dilatava con dolcezza i ritmi della comunicazione e quelli propri dell'amore. Di fronte alla pagina bianca, l'amore epistolare si concretizzava in parole capaci di tracciare ogni fase del rapporto, ogni sfumatura di un sentimento complesso e mutevole. Ci sono lettere che raccontano l'amore coniugale, a volte illuminandone le crepe in superficie; altre ci parlano di un amore che si ferma sulle soglie dell'amicizia, sublimandosi in stima e rispetto; ci sono poi quelle infiammate di passione o avvelenate dalla gelosia, quelle dolorose della rinuncia, dell'abbandono, del distacco. Ciascuna è unica e singolare, rivelatrice: il prodotto inimitabile dell'incontro di due vite. Guido Davico Bonino ci guida fra i meccanismi del sentimento amoroso sfruttando lo sterminato patrimonio di lettere di grandi personaggi italiani: nomi celebri come Luigi Pirandello, Giacomo Leopardi e Grazia Deledda o meno noti ma preziosi come Andrea Calmo e Cassandra Fedele, lettere di scrittrici e scrittori ma anche di politici e partigiani, compositori, cantanti e pittori.

Download or read book 100 Parole d Amore written by Rosella Pezzano and published by SPERLING & KUPFER. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quante volte avreste voluto dire a qualcuno cosa stavate provando nei suoi confronti ma non avete trovato il modo giusto per esprimerlo? Un dialogo serrato fra un uomo e una donna che, attraverso il modo diverso e opposto di sentire e vivere le emozioni, ripercorrono le varie fasi della loro relazione. È come essere trasportati sulle montagne russe: dagli inizi in cui ogni cosa sembra perfetta e magnifica e l'altro manca come l'aria, passando per i litigi e la gelosia, fino all'epilogo e alla nostalgia quando rimangono il ricordo dei luoghi visti insieme, i non detti che ogni tanto tornano a bruciare come cicatrici mai rimarginate e il suono della parola più bella di sempre: «Ti amo». Stralci di una missiva, un messaggio, un pensiero rivolto all'amato o all'amata si mescolano perdendo quasi di forma in questa raccolta di cento brevi poemi in prosa; ognuno è un racconto a sé, ma messi tutti insieme diventano un unico racconto, un'unica grande storia d'amore. Una giostra vorticosa in cui tutti possiamo rispecchiarci. Un inno all'amore, quello con la A maiuscola che viene spesso dimenticato e ritenuto solo un'invenzione letteraria; ma soprattutto un invito al coraggio e a innamorarsi dell'amore. Perché anche se fa soffrire è l'unico modo per poter dire di aver vissuto.

Book I Saw the Muses

Download or read book I Saw the Muses written by Leonardo Sinisgalli and published by Guernica Editions. This book was released on 1997 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonardo Sinisgalli (1908--1981) was born in Lucania, Italy, and was a painter as well as a major poet. His images and metaphors arise from nature. His muses perch on an ancient oak, eating, not ambrosia, but acorns and berries. The dominant landscapes of his poetry are intimate, a world of affections, places and people, that transcend time and the particulars of culture and locality. His language is plain and sensuous; his voice, gentle. In his poetry are the wonder of a child and the ironies of a twentieth century man.

Ever since their father's untimely death five years before, Wyatt Smith and his inseparably close twin sister, Lucy, have scraped by alone on their family's isolated ranch in Box Elder County, Utah. That is until one morning when, just after spotting one of their steers lying dead in the field, Wyatt is hit in the arm by a hail of gunfire that takes four more cattle with it. The shooter: a fever-eyed, fearsome girl-child with a TEC-9 in her left hand and a worn shotgun in her right. They hold the girl captive, but she breaks loose overnight and heads south into the desert. With the dawning realization that the loss of cattle will mean the certain loss of the ranch, Wyatt feels he has no choice but to go after her and somehow find restitution for what's been lost. Wyatt's decision sets him on an epic twelve-day odyssey through a nightmarish underworld he only half understands; a world that pitches him not only against the primordial ways of men and the beautiful yet brutally unforgiving landscape, but also against himself. As he winds his way down from the mountains of Box Elder to the mesas of Monument Valley and back, Wyatt is forced to look for the first time at who he is and what he’s capable of, and how those hard truths set him irrevocably apart from the one person he’s ever really known and loved. Steeped in a mythic, wildly alive language of its own, and gripping from the first gunshot to the last, Rough Animals is a tour de force from a powerful new voice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since publication over ten years ago, The Translator’s Invisibility has provoked debate and controversy within the field of translation and become a classic text. Providing a fascinating account of the history of translation from the seventeenth century to the present day, Venuti shows how fluency prevailed over other translation strategies to shape the canon of foreign literatures in English and investigates the cultural consequences of the receptor values which were simultaneously inscribed and masked in foreign texts during this period. The author locates alternative translation theories and practices in British, American and European cultures which aim to communicate linguistic and cultural differences instead of removing them. In this second edition of his work, Venuti: clarifies and further develops key terms and arguments responds to critical commentary on his argument incorporates new case studies that include: an eighteenth century translation of a French novel by a working class woman; Richard Burton's controversial translation of the Arabian Nights; modernist poetry translation; translations of Dostoevsky by the bestselling translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky; and translated crime fiction updates data on the current state of translation, including publishing statistics and translators’ rates. The Translator’s Invisibility will be essential reading for students of translation studies at all levels. Lawrence Venuti is Professor of English at Temple University, Philadelphia. He is a translation theorist and historian as well as a translator and his recent publications include: The Scandals of Translation: Towards an Ethics of Difference and The Translation Studies Reader, both published by Routledge.

His harlequinades were produced by such greats as Dullin in France, Pirandello in Italy, and the Theatre Guild on Broadway. As playwright, director, and theorist, Evreinov anticipated major developments in the twentieth century theatre: metatheatrical plays, environmental staging, and the study of performance through anthropology, ritual, and role-playing in everyday life.

An important book in the series . . . Many elements which will be exploited to huge degree and cast a huge shadow over later pages are introduced here for the first time. . . . In some ways, it provides an anticipatory, even direct, model for the grimdark of the nineties which would follow.” —World of Antra
