Book excerpt: The story begins with a scene off the coast of North Carolina in 1813 where a mystery began. From there, in present day Wyoming, two friends who have not seen each other in several years are off an excursion to cover a political meeting that Mike Hamilton’s boss has sent him to cover for the small town newspaper that he works for. At the venue, Mike meets a beautiful woman who seeks him out to share something, although the ‘something’ is pretty vague. She leaves an impression upon him, and a mysterious note, that will be hard for him to forget. A tragic event occurs that leaves Mike completely unprepared for what will come next. He shares with a television reporter what he heard and saw, but that story will only be aired once as it does not fit into the narrative of those that control such things. After being interviewed by the FBI, and told what he can and cannot say in public, he is contacted by Janice Felton, a world-renown financial icon, who invites him to her ranch in California for an interview. While there, he learns that she really is not interested in conducting an interview. Instead, she has an assignment of her own invention that she wants him to pursue. On a far-away island in the Caribbean, Leia Franklin, a woman who went to grade school with Mike, learns of his involvement with the event in Wyoming through the media attention surrounding it. While Mike is travelling to California for his interview with Janice Felton, Leia attempts to contact him. After his meeting with Janice Felton, they finally do connect, and something is kindled between them. Leaving California the following day, Mike is driving his old Volvo through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in an attempt to make a leisurely trip while deciding how to approach the assignment that Janice Felton had given him. He has no idea of where all of this will take him. Interlaced with the unfolding story in the present day, there are vignettes of other actors, both in the past and in the present, who will be converging with Mike as he embarks on the greatest adventure of his previously uneventful life to a place where he had never been before.

Download or read book Simplification Explicitation and Normalization written by Margherita Ippolito and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-18 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The search for general laws and regularities in Translation Studies gained new momentum in the 1990s when Baker (1993) promoted the use of large electronic corpora as research tools for exploring the linguistic features that render the language of translation different from the language of non-translated texts. By comparing a corpus of translated and non-translated English texts, Baker and her research team put forward the hypothesis that translated texts are characterized by some “universal features”, namely simplification, explicitation, normalization and levelling-out. The purpose of this study is to test whether simplification, explicitation and normalization apply to Italian translations of children’s books. In order to achieve this aim, a comparable corpus of translated and non-translated works of classic fiction for children has been collected and analysed using Corpus Linguistics tools and methodologies. The results show that, in the translational subcorpus, simplification, explicitation and normalization processes do not prevail over the non-translational one. Therefore, it is suggested that the status of translated children’s literature in the Italian literary “polysystem” (Even-Zohar, 1979, 1990) and, from a general viewpoint, all the cultural, historical and social conditions that influence translators’ activities, determine translation choices that can also tend towards processes different from those proposed by Baker.

Download or read book Homosexuality in Italian Literature Society and Culture 1789 1919 written by Elisa Bianco and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homosexuality, bisexuality, transvestitism, and trans-genders represented new ideas, customs, and mentalities which shattered nineteenth-century Italy. At this time, Italy was a state in the making, with a growing population, a fading aristocracy, and new urban classes entering the scene. While still an extremely Catholic country, atheism and secularization slowly undermined the old, traditional morality, with literature and poetry endorsing innovative fashions coming from abroad. Laxity mixed with perversion, while new forms of sexuality mirrored the immense changes taking place in a society that, since time immemorial, was dominated by the Church and by a rigid class system. This was a revolution, parallel to the political movements that brought about the Unification of Italy in 1861, and was tormented, intense, and occasionally tragic. This collection of essays offers a rather comprehensive overview of this phenomenon. Personalities and places, ideas and novels, poetry and tragedy, law and customs, are the subject of ten essays, written by leading international experts in Italian history, the history of sexuality, literature and poetry. The Italian nineteenth century is a time of a number of rapid changes, visible and invisible revolutions, often given less attention than the unification process. This book makes a substantial contribution to Italian studies and modern European history.
Download or read book Eugenio Montale written by Eanna O Ceallachain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eugenio Montale (1896-1981) is best known for the intense lyrical vision of his first three collections of poetry, written between the 1920s and early 1950s. With the publication of ""Satura"" in 1971, the profile of his work changes irrevocably as a new disillusioned voice emerged, commenting ironically on post-war Italian society and debunking his own previous poetic myths. O'Ceallachin, while placing this body of work firmly in its historical and ideological context, explores the poetic texts in detail, approaching the work from a variety of interpretative and thematic angles, and constructing a comprehensive reading of Montale's later work."
Download or read book Interrupted Narratives and Intersectional Representations in Italian Postcolonial Literature written by Caterina Romeo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues for the importance of adopting a postcolonial perspective in analysing contemporary Italian culture and literature. Originally published in Italian in 2018 as Riscrivere la nazione: La letteratura italiana postcoloniale, this new English translation brings to light the connections between the present, the colonial past and the great historical waves of international and intranational migration. By doing so, the book shows how a sense of Italian national identity emerged, at least in part, as the result of different migrations and why there is such a strong resistance in Italy to extending the privilege of italianità, or Italianness, to those who have arrived on Italian soil in recent years. Exploring over 100 texts written by migrant and second-generation writers, the book takes an intersectional approach to understanding gender and race in Italian identity. It connects these literary and cultural contexts to the Italian colonial past, while also looking outwards to a more diffuse postcolonial condition in Europe.
