This book was released on 2012 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "L'Italia centrale tirrenica nel VII sec. a.C. è ormai da tempo pienamente inserita in un ricco circuito di scambi e commerci a livello mediterraneo. In questo complesso quadro di scambi e contatti, che hanno portato a una radicale trasformazione in ampi settori dell'Italia preromana, uno degli aspetti forse più evidenti e facilmente percepibili è l'evoluzione nelle produzioni artigianali etrusche e italiche di un interessante e variegato bestiario fantastico, che in buona parte affonda le sue radici in ambito lato sensu orientale e greco, ma la cui sopravvivenza nel corso del VII secolo a.C. e oltre, è in un certo senso garantita dalle differenti riletture locali, che spesso rielaborano liberamente i modelli allotri dando vita a figurazioni parzialmente o del tutto nuove.Il volume Il bestiario fantastico di età orientalizzante nella Penisola Italiana, che inaugura i Quaderni della serie Aristonothos, Scritti per il Mediterraneo Antico, ha lo scopo di creare un dossier di partenza, con il fine di attirare attenzione sul fenomeno e suscitare un dibattito, coinvolgendo studiosi che da diversi punti di vista (archeologico, storico artistico, antropologico, ecc.) e a diversi gradi di approfondimento, hanno incontrato nella propria ricerca questo aspetto della cultura figurativa."--Page 4 de la couverture

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In questa Guida agli animali fantastici ci sono i prodigiosi esseri che circolavano liberamente nel mondo antico, ippocentauri, manticore, remore, sirene, ircocervi, e che oggi non circolano più, né lo potrebbero, con tutte le regole autostradali, la coltivazione industriale delle campagne, la deforestazione, gli antiparassitari, il traffico marittimo e altro ancora. Ma in mezzo a loro, altrettanto fantastici, ci sono gli animali che sono rimasti e si incontrano comunemente, il pollo, ad esempio, con il suo sguardo sospettoso e un po’ sprezzante, o le formiche, sempre di corsa e preoccupate per la crisi economica, o le api, socialiste imperterrite fin dalla nascita, o la mucca che rumina e riflette. Che idee avranno su di noi? Sulla vita e sulla morte? Ne sapranno qualcosa o faranno finta di niente? Questi esseri molto prossimi, nostri parenti stretti, però anche distanti come gli extraterrestri, li si può stare a guardare per ore in un prato, o veder traversare come apparizioni una strada, o passare in cielo mentre migrano in Africa: esseri meravigliosi e misteriosi quanto le specie fantastiche e inesistenti. E da ultimo c’è l’animale forse più fantastico di tutti, senza piume, a due gambe, spettatore del grande spettacolo dell’universo. «Quell’animale che guarda in cielo e dice: cosa sono quei lumini sospesi? E risponde: le stelle. Perché nessun altro animale le ha mai notate, nel corso di tanti milioni di anni e di tante notti stellate che sono passate su questo pianeta.» L’animale chiamato uomo.

This book was released on 2015-04-29T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Tutta quell’assurda faccenda cominciò con tre sterline e settantadue”. Così inizia la storia di George, che una mattina trova in terra una manciata di monete e pensa che sia il suo giorno fortunato. Peccato che, subito dopo, gli rubino la bicicletta. Niente bici equivale a niente vita sociale, perciò George cerca un lavoretto per mettere da parte qualche soldo e comprarsene una nuova. È così che s’imbatte in un annuncio che offre un impiego pomeridiano nella fattoria Wormery Farm, dove si cerca un assistente che non sia “squamofobo”. Quando George si presenta alla fattoria, scopre che gli animali a cui badare non sono esattamente normali. La dolce e decisa Signora Lind si occupa infatti di curare e proteggere animali estinti o bestie fantastiche, tra cui due uri, un dodo, e un ittiosauro, un baby-kraken che vive nel bagno, un unicorno, un drago (anzi il drago, non ucciso ma ferito da San Giorgio) e un basilisco. O meglio, il basilisco c’era ma se n’è andato a spasso e sta trasformando in pietra tutti gli animali domestici della cittadina. Oltre a ritrovare il pericoloso serpente alato, George deve proteggere gli animali della fattoria dalla matrigna della nuova compagna di scuola Prudence; la perfida Diamonda Pye, di professione impagliatrice, anela a trovare vittime animali molto originali per vincere il Cucchiaio d’Oro estraicervello. Riusciranno George e Prudence a difendere gli Estinti e a evitare che si scopra la verità su Wormery Farm?

Download or read book Demetrius of Phalerum written by William W. Fortenbaugh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demetrius of Phalerum (c. 355-280BCE) of Phalerum was a philosopher-statesman. He studied in the Peripatos under Theophrastus and subsequently used his political influence to help his teacher acquire property for the Peripatetic school. As overseer of Athens, his governance was characterized by a decade of domestic peace. Exiled to Alexandria in Egypt, he became the adviser of Ptolemy. He is said to have been in charge of legislation, and it is likely that he influenced the founding of the Museum and the Library. This edition of the fragments of Demetrius of Phalerum reflects the growing interest in the Hellenistic period and the philosophical schools of that age. As a philosopher-statesman, Demetrius appears to have combined theory and practice. For example, in the work On Behalf of the Politeia, he almost certainly explained his own legislation and governance by appealing to the Aristotelian notion of politeia, that is, a constitution in which democratic and oligarchic elements are combined. In On Peace, he may have defended his subservience to Macedon by appealing to Aristotle, who repeatedly recognized the importance of peace over war; and in On Fortune, he will have followed Theophrastus, emphasizing the way fortune can determine the success or failure of sound policy. Whatever the case concerning any one title, we can well understand why Cicero regarded Demetrius as a unique individual: the educated statesman who was able to bring learning out of the shadows of erudition into the light of political conflict, and that despite an oratorical style more suited to the shadows of the Peripatos then to political combat. The new edition of secondary reports by Stork, van Ophuijsen, and Dorandi brings together the evidence for these and other judgments. The facing translation which accompanies the Greek and Latin texts opens up the material to readers who lack the ancient languages, and the accompanying essays introduce us to important issues. The volume will be of interest to those interested in Greek literature, Hellenistic philosophy, Hellenistic history, and generally to persons captivated by the notion of philosopher-statesman.
