Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vi siete mai chiesti se quanto appreso dai libri di storia corrisponde al vero? Non parlo di scetticismo ma di semplice analisi. I personaggi di questo racconto, si vedranno costretti a scendere dal podio delle loro convinzioni per arrendersi di fronte all'evidenza di nuove verita. La storiografa Marika Corsi, giovane, bella e irruente, si lancera in una spasmodica ricerca di prove tangibili che avvalorino la morte di un dittatore. La madre Laura, oppressa dalla paura di perdere Giorgio, suo marito e padre di Marika, in una altrettanto incessante ricerca di un amore appartenuto ad un recente passato. La prima si ritrovera proiettata in una dimensione carica di ostilita e di violenza, la seconda scoprira quelle profondita che solo un amore vero, sincero, immenso, puo raggiungere. Entrambe si scontreranno con le falsita delle loro certezze. Amore e odio. Due facce della stessa gelida moneta, come un altro freddo protagonista di questa inquietante storia: un misterioso medaglione.

Download or read book Il Libro di Mio Figlio written by Neera (Anna Zuccari Radius) and published by eBook Free. This book was released on 2014-10-25 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esordisce nel 1875 come scrittrice di novelle pubblicate in importanti riviste del tempo - il Pungolo, L'illustrazione italiana, il Marzocco - viaggiando ed entrando in contatto con Verga e Capuana, esponenti della corrente letteraria del Verismo, alla quale ella stessa aderì. Nel 1890 fu tra i fondatori della rivista Vita intima, che tuttavia cessò le pubblicazioni l'anno dopo. Negli ultimi anni Neera fu probabilmente colpita da un tumore che le impedì di scrivere - ma riuscì a dettare le sue memorie, Una giovinezza del secolo XIX, pubblicate postume nel 1919 - e la condusse alla morte nel 1918. Scrittrice prolifica e di successo, il tema dominante della sua narrativa è l’analisi della condizione femminile – della quale ella accetta il ruolo socialmente subordinato – limitandosi a rivendicare le ragioni del cuore e della sensibilità femminile a fronte della mediocrità della realtà quotidiana nella quale le protagoniste dei suoi romanzi finiscono per ripiegare.

Download or read book Commentary and Tradition written by Pierluigi Donini and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010-12-23 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume collects the most important papers Pierluigi Donini wrote in the last three decades with the aim of promoting a better assessment of post-hellenistic philosophy. The philosophical relevance of post-hellenistic philosophy is now widely (though not yet universally) recognized. Yet much remains to be done. The common practice of focusing each single school in itself detracts from a balanced assessment of the strategies exploited by many philosophers of the period. On the assumption that debates among schools play a major role in the philosophy of the commentators, Donini concentrates on the interaction between leading Aristotelians and Platonists and demonstrates that the developments of both systems of thought were heavily influenced by a continuous confrontation between the two schools. And whereas in cases such as Alcinous and Aspasius this is basically uncontroversial, for other authors such us Alexander, Antiochus and Plutarch the pioneering work of Donini paves the way for a better understanding of their doctrines and definitely confirms the intellectual importance of the first imperial age, when the foundations were laid of versions of both Aristotelianism and Platonism which were bound to influence the whole history of European thought, from Late Antiquity onwards.
Download or read book The Italian Academies 1525 1700 written by Jane E. Everson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intellectual societies known as Academies played a vital role in the development of culture, and scholarly debate throughout Italy between 1525-1700. They were fundamental in establishing the intellectual networks later defined as the ‘République des Lettres’, and in the dissemination of ideas in early modern Europe, through print, manuscript, oral debate and performance. This volume surveys the social and cultural role of Academies, challenging received ideas and incorporating recent archival findings on individuals, networks and texts. Ranging over Academies in both major and smaller or peripheral centres, these collected studies explore the interrelationships of Academies with other cultural forums. Individual essays examine the fluid nature of academies and their changing relationships to the political authorities; their role in the promotion of literature, the visual arts and theatre; and the diverse membership recorded for many academies, which included scientists, writers, printers, artists, political and religious thinkers, and, unusually, a number of talented women. Contributions by established international scholars together with studies by younger scholars active in this developing field of research map out new perspectives on the dynamic place of the Academies in early modern Italy. The publication results from the research collaboration ‘The Italian Academies 1525-1700: the first intellectual networks of early modern Europe’ funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and is edited by the senior investigators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second selection of studies by Frank D’Accone, again based principally on the documentary evidence, follows the development through the mid 16th century of musical chapels at the Cathedral and the Baptistery of Florence and of musical establishments at the Santissima Annunziata and San Lorenzo. The lives, careers and works of composers associated with these churches are illustrated and their works analyzed, particularly the theoretical treatise by Fra Mauro, the madrigals of Mauro Matti and the ambitiously conceived canzone cycle of Mattia Rampollini. The final studies, moving into the 17th century, look at the music for Holy Week, and the unprecedented programme of performances at Santa Maria Novella.

Book excerpt: «Potrei dimostrare non come gli uomini pensano nei miti, ma come i miti operano nelle menti degli uomini senza che loro siano informati di questo fatto». Questa frase di Claude Lévi-Strauss è la perfetta sintesi dell’analisi sviluppata in questo libro. Ma oltre a questa peculiarità del mito, viene qui tentata la riunione delle menti libere e degli artisti che, secondo l’autore, sono fra coloro in grado di contrastare il potere dei miti. Una chiamata a raccolta concreta, perché in appendice al volume ci sono proposte operative a cui è possibile partecipare, se ci si è convinti - leggendo il libro - dell’importanza di esserci.

Download or read book Singing of Arms and Men written by Kelley Harness and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-27 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equestrian ballets (balletti a cavallo), although little known today, emerged as valued dramatic entertainments in early modern Europe, capable of demonstrating the wealth and magnificence of the patrons who commissioned them as well as the horsemanship and military skills of the noblemen who rode in them. Although the horse ballet did not originate in Florence, that city--and its ruling grand dukes, the Medici--acquired a reputation for excellence in the genre. Between 1608 and 1686, the court commissioned horse ballets to commemorate important state events such as Medici weddings or visits by foreign visitors. In Singing of Arms and Men, author Kelley Harness undertakes the first comprehensive study of the seventeenth-century Florentine horse ballets. She demonstrates how these works communicated messages relevant to the occasions for which they were performed, delivered by means of texts sung in styles similar to contemporary opera and punctuated by choreography and dramatic structure. Mock battles fought with swords and pistols animated audiences but also provided visible instances of conflict, which were then interrupted by the sudden arrival of a deus ex machina, who commanded the combatants to instead join forces to defeat a common enemy. The knights then demonstrated newfound cooperation through their creation of choreographed figures danced on horseback in time to music. Documentary evidence confirms that the Medici family expended significant financial and human resources on these one-time events, revealing just how much work it took to appear effortless. Ultimately, Harness shows how the balletto a cavallo played a crucial role in Medici self-fashioning during the period, and that the 250 noblemen invited to lend their equestrian skills both confirmed their family's relationship to the Medici and were provided a venue for demonstrating critical markers of masculine nobility.
