Download or read book La Scherma written by Francesco Ferinando Alfieri and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the first published English translation of Francesco Alfieri’s fencing treatise: “La Scherma”, first published in Padua in 1640. Alfieri was the Master at Arms at the Accademia Delia in Padua, Italy from 1632. The Delia was a school attached to the University of Padua teaching young gentlemen military skills, mathematics and the martial arts of self defence. It is not widely appreciated that Europe has martial arts traditions that are centuries old. Contained within this book is a description of one of these European combat systems ~ the art of fighting with the Rapier ~ a long, slender, civilian sword designed for self defence and dueling. The ability to wield such a weapon with skill was a matter of vital importance in an age when the defence of honour and, by definition, the immortal soul, could be more important than life itself. Alfieri’s concise system is a very practical and effective way to address this need. It is an excellent resource for all students of historical swordplay and anyone interested in the martial arts of Renaissance Europe." -- Amazon.com

Download or read book Plague and Music in the Renaissance written by Remi Chiu and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plague, a devastating and recurring affliction throughout the Renaissance, had a major impact on European life. Not only was pestilence a biological problem, but it was also read as a symptom of spiritual degeneracy and it caused widespread social disorder. Assembling a picture of the complex and sometimes contradictory responses to plague from medical, spiritual and civic perspectives, this book uncovers the place of music - whether regarded as an indispensable medicine or a moral poison that exacerbated outbreaks - in the management of the disease. This original musicological approach further reveals how composers responded, in their works, to the discourses and practices surrounding one of the greatest medical crises in the pre-modern age. Addressing topics such as music as therapy, public rituals and performance and music in religion, the volume also provides detailed musical analysis throughout to illustrate how pestilence affected societal attitudes toward music.

Book excerpt: Struttura originale che unisce generi diversi e li trasforma in una sola ed unica entità. Spaziando dalla poesia alla narrativa (anche con una favola), dal giornalismo alla filosofia (e alla religione), la scrittrice vuole far divertire, immaginare, imparare e, soprattutto, riflettere. Riflettere sul mondo, le persone, l'amore, la vita... I generi letterari sono semplicemente diversi punti di vista attraverso i quali noi riusciamo a conoscerci e a conoscere sempre di più la Realtà. Il filo conduttore di questa originale opera è appunto il bisogno di conoscenza (di equilibrio, di crescere felici) di ciascuno di noi. Filo conduttore strettamente legato al protagonista del libro: l'Amore Vero per la Realtà.

Download or read book Senza Fine written by Giuseppe Govinda and published by Isola Di Govinda. This book was released on 2023-11-09 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si percepisce fin dalle prime pagine il profondo intimismo di Senza Fine. Un romanzo che non è romanzo, fatto di liriche, saggi, brani. Una storia intricata costruita secondo il principio del flusso di coscienza. Immagini. Pensieri. Il grande legame che lega Govinda a Siddhartha. Gli amici, le feste a base di yagé, le tragedie, l‘obiettivo di diventare un bodhisattva, le esperienze extracorporee grazie all‘autoipnosi, l’Islanda. Senza Fine è simile a un mandala, fragile, dai mille significati. L‘opera possiede un’accurata inventiva stilistica e un linguaggio anticonformista che unisce le caratteristiche tipiche del Bildungsroman più mistico a quelle della narrativa «on the road» in cui le avventure e le oscenità sono elementi cardini del racconto.
