Book excerpt: Bruno Mancini, nato a Napoli nel 1943, risiede ad Ischia dall'eta di tre anni.A lui piace dire che l'origine della sua ispirazione o forse solo un iniziale impulso ancestrale ed istintivo, il vero basilare momento poetico della sua vita, si e concretizzato nell'incontro, propriamente fisico, tra i suoi sensi acerbi, infantili, e le secolari, immutate, tentazioni autoctone dell'Isola d'Ischia, dove le leggi della natura sembravano fluire ancora difese da valori di primitive protezioni.Alcuni brevi commenti ricavati dalle recensioni ai suoi libri: "Opera interessante per i contenuti e le tematiche affrontate, nonche per i valori estetici"" seria preparazione, corredata da rimarchevole fantasia. Lavoro meditato, armonioso di buon afflato poetico.""Una prosa lacerata e sfuggente""Lavoro intenso, vissuto nella profondita della sua composizione, fatta di toni e di immagini""Una voce nuova che chiama ad ascoltarla ed a giudicarla senza inibizioni, come liberamente essa e sviluppata"

Download or read book Tales from My Zia Faustina written by Michelle Damiani and published by Rialto Press. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Italian werewolf. A dancing devil. And a storyteller who chronicles it all. Italy has enchanted travelers for hundreds of years. Now, those who crave a deeper understanding of Europe’s favorite boot can find it through storytelling. Angelo Mazzoli, beloved teacher and ambassador of culture, recounts the stories he heard at the knee of his aunt Faustina—a communist, feminist seamstress who made everything from wedding gowns to bathing costumes for the residents of her Umbrian hill-town. The author shares sixteen of Zia Faustina’s stories, and thus opens the door to the folklore that dwells within the hearts of all Umbrians. Reading about Orlando’s massacre of female hearts in Spello reveals the spectacle of love passed from generation to generation in Italy. A story about a woman living alone in the mountain above Spello illustrates the vulnerability and strength that endure despite all obstacles. A bandit living in Saint Francis’s Assisi teaches us about Umbrian notions of good and evil. Beyond folklore, the author remembers the post-war years in Italy, when a nation struggled to find a direction and an identity. Anecdotes of a thriving main street—including the author’s father’s woodworking shop, his grandfather’s cobbler shop, and his aunt’s seamstress shop—create a vivid tapestry of the joy and community once easily found outside one’s front door. Adapted for English-speakers by Michelle Damiani (who authored the bestselling Il Bel Centro: A Year in the Beautiful Center, a memoir of her year in Spello), Tales from My Zia Faustina will capture hearts and imaginations. Lovers of Italy, especially those readying to embark on a trip to Umbria, will get more out of their travels by understanding the place names, customs, superstitions, and history of Umbria. Language students will take particular delight in translating for themselves the original Italian, as every one of Angelo Mazzoli's words is included in the second half of the book, or at the very least, hearing the Italian lilt in the English translation. If you’re ready to discover new layers of Italy, it’s time to listen to Zia Faustina. Scroll up and click BUY NOW to discover the secrets of unlocking Umbria today! These stories are fabulous, vivid, vibrant, and lyrical. MIchelle Damiani captures the beauty of Angelo’s story telling. Love it! This book is coming out at an ideal time when the world is so transient with little regard for the importance of having roots and a sense of belonging. I love how Angelo celebrates women through his stories! Faustina was certainly a woman ahead of the times with a fierce and fearless spirit...and a big heart.

Book excerpt: Le storie superbe di Wood possono essere paragonate alle fiabe italiane di Italo Calvino. Non e necessario elogiare oltre. - Carlos FuentesOltrepassando confini linguistici e culturali, queste fiabe trascendono anche dagli archi temporali convenzionali. Abbondano di paradossi temporali. - Roger-Pol Droit (Le Monde)Kalila e Dimna o La Panchatantra (anche conosciuto in Europa dal 1483 come Le Fiabe di Bidpai) e una composizione di storie sugli animali e su diversi livelli, interconnesse l'una all'altra - a volte ci sono tre o quattro 'strati' di storie. Queste composizioni contribuiscono alla letteratura mondiale da piu di 2000 anni, essendo migrate attraverso antiche culture in una moltitudine di forme, scritte e orali. Tutte le nostre favole sugli animali, da Aesop ai racconti buddhisti Jataka, da La Fontaine a Uncle Remus, devono molto a questo libro strano e mutaforme.Piu di mille anni prima di Machiavelli, le fiabe in sanscrito della Panchatantra hanno trattato l'inganno, gli imbrogli politicali, l'omicidio, i nemici, i re, i dervisci, le scimmie, i leoni, gli sciacalli, le tartarughe, le cornacchie, e il come noi tutti cooperiamo (o meno!), viviamo e moriamo insieme, o in pace o in conflitto l'uno con l'altro. Questo e un libro pieno di animali e uomini che si comportano oltraggiosamente e che fanno delle cose favolosamente terribili (e tuttavia gentili a volte) l'uno all'altro. Queste sono storie gioiose, tristi, divertenti e a volte brutali, essendo il loro scopo quello di insegnare ad entrambi il re ed il cittadino i modi e mezzi del mondo, quelle realta dure che spesso si nascondono sotto la superficie della nostra soggettivita quotidiana e comoda.La composizione originale arabica, Kalila e Dimna (La Panchatantra in sanscrito ne e il precursore) apparentemente costituisce un manuale per sovrani, un cosidetto 'Specchio per Principi,' che illustra indirettamente, attraverso una marea di storie e versi didattici, il come (e il come non!) comandare il regno della Sua vita. Con una padronanza astutamente profonda della natura umana al suo meglio (e anche alla peggio!), queste fiabe sugli animali, che di solito evitano la critica moralistica umana, offrono un saggio e pratico consiglio a tutti noi.Basato sulla suo confronto di traduzioni erudite di testi chiave in Sanscrito, Arabo e Persiano, cosi come la versione del 1570 di Sir Thomas North, questo e in assoluto il primo racconto moderno in Oriente e Occidente da oltre 400 anni. Nella versione di Ramsay Wood, i significati profondi alla base di queste fiabe brillano, proprio come egli sa cogliere un mondo classico, rendendolo nuovo, rilevante, affascinante e incredibilemente piacevole da leggere.- - - -Wood's superb stories should be set alongside Italo Calvino's retelling of the folk tales of Italy. No higher praise is necessary. - Carlos FuentesCrossing linguistic and cultural frontiers, these fables also transcend conventional time-frames. They abound with temporal paradoxes. - Roger-Pol Droit (Le Monde)Kalila and Dimna or The Panchatantra (also known in Europe since 1483 as The Fables of Bidpai) is a multi-layered, inter-connected and variable arrangement of animal stories, with one story leading into another, sometimes three or four deep. These arrangements have contributed to world literature for over 2000 years, migrating across ancient cultures in a multitude of written and oral formats. All our beast fables from Aesop and the Buddhist Jataka Tales through La Fontaine to Uncle Remus owe this strange, shape-shifting 'book' a huge debt. Over a 1000 years before Machiavelli, the Sanskrit folk tales of The Panchatantra covered deceit, political skullduggery, murder, enemies, kings, dervishes, monkeys, lions, jackals, turtles, crows and how we all cooperate (or not!), live and die together in peace or conflict. This is a book full of outrageously behaved animals and humans doing the most delightfully awful (yet sometimes gentle) things to each other. These are joyous, sad, amusing and sometimes brutal stories; their function being to educate both king and commoner alike in the ways of the world, the harsh realities that can often lurk beneath the surface of our cozy, everyday subjectivity.In its original Arabic format, Kalila and Dimna (The Panchatantra being its Sanskrit precursor), ostensibly constitutes a handbook for rulers, a so-called 'Mirror for Princes' illustrating indirectly, through a cascade of teaching stories and verse, how to (and how not to!) run the kingdom of your life. In their slyly profound grasp of human nature at its best (and worst!) these animal fables, usually avoiding any moralistic human criticism, serve up digestible sage counsel for us all. Based on his collation of scholarly translations from key Sanskrit, Syriac, Arabic and Persian texts, as well as the 1570 English rendition by Sir Thomas North, this is the first uncompromisingly modern re-telling in either the East or West for over 400 years. In Ramsay Wood's version the profound meanings behind these ancient fables shine forth as he captures a great world classic, making it fresh, relevant, fascinating and hugely readable.
