Download or read book Reeds in the Wind written by Grazia Deledda and published by Italica Pr. This book was released on 1999 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rugged landscape of Baronia on Sardinia sets the scene for this novel of crime, guilt and retribution. This novel presents the story of the Pintor sisters - from a family of noble landowners now in decline - their nephew Giacinto, and their servant Efix, who is trying to make up for a mysterious sin committed many years before. Around, below, and inside them the raging Mediterranean storms, the jagged mountains, the murmuring forests, and the gushing springs form a Greek chorus of witness to the tragic drama of this unforgiving land. Deledda tells her story with her characteristic love of the natural landscape and fascination with the folk culture of the island, with details about the famous religious festivals held in mountain encampments and the lore of the "dark beings who populate the Sardinian night, the fairies who live in rocks and caves, and the sprites with seven red caps who bother sleep." Introduction by the Sardinian ethnographer, Dolores Turchi.

Book Near to the Wild Heart

    Book Details:
  • Author : Clarice Lispector
  • Publisher : New Directions Publishing
  • Release : 2012-06-13
  • ISBN : 0811220710
  • Pages : 209 pages

Download or read book Near to the Wild Heart written by Clarice Lispector and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-13 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new translation of Clarice Lispector's sensational first book tells the story of a middle class woman's life from childhood through an unhappy marriage and its dissolution to transcendence. Near to the Wild Heart, published in Rio de Janeiro in 1943, introduced Brazil to what one writer called “Hurricane Clarice”: a twenty-three-year-old girl who wrote her first book in a tiny rented room and then baptized it with a title taken from Joyce: “He was alone, unheeded, near to the wild heart of life.” The book was an unprecedented sensation — the discovery of a genius. Narrative epiphanies and interior monologue frame the life of Joana, from her middle-class childhood through her unhappy marriage and its dissolution to transcendence, when she proclaims: “I shall arise as strong and comely as a young colt.”

Book L infelicit   dell uomo e il dramma di Dio

Download or read book L infelicit dell uomo e il dramma di Dio written by Michele Cencio and published by Aletti Editore. This book was released on 2022-09-26 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questo saggio è ispirato dagli ultimi scritti di David Maria Turoldo che, anche a causa della malattia che lo costrinse a letto, s'interrogano sul senso dell'esistere in rapporto alla sofferenza e alla fede. L'infelicità dell'uomo e il dramma di Dio saranno linfa di tutta la sua ultima ed interessante produzione poetica e saggistica. Ciò che dà origine all'inquietudine di Turoldo è un Dio che invece di rivelarsi chiaro e limpido ripropone continuamente un volto nascosto e attorniato da un terribile silenzio che collima con i drammi che l'uomo vive quotidianamente. In compagnia di Giobbe, ci si introdurrà verso sentieri impervi che non conducono a facili risposte: il male, la sofferenza, il silenzio di Dio, la condizione dell'uomo come “essere mancante”. Questo cammino alla ricerca di un volto su cui riconoscersi lo porterà ad immergersi negli inferi del dramma: «non tanto se Dio c'è, quanto chi sia, come pensarlo» (Turoldo, Luminoso vuoto). La voce anonima del grande smantellatore di vanitas, l'autore del libro del Qohelet, guiderà un percorso che tenterà di sviscerare il grande tema del Nulla nel suo rapporto con l'Essere, un cammino accidentato dove è facile perdersi nella confusione dei termini e nella dissoluzione del nulla, indicando pertanto la via dell'essenza. Infine si traccerà l'itinerario di risalita che il poeta friulano propone e vive, cercando di rimettere in ordine i pezzi attraverso e grazie alla teologia apofatica che permette di trasformare il mutismo su Dio, o il suo eccessivo parlarne, in un canto che è il risultato di un rapporto maturo con l'Alterità per eccellenza. Se il peccato è allontanamento da Dio e adorazione di una immagine falsa, per via di una coscienza adombrata, è necessario che l'uomo ritrovi gli occhi per riconoscerevi il vero Volto e le orecchie per seguire la Voce tra le voci.

Book The House of Others

    Book Details:
  • Author : Silvio D'Arzo
  • Publisher : Northwestern University Press
  • Release : 1995
  • ISBN : 9780810160019
  • Pages : 140 pages

Download or read book The House of Others written by Silvio D'Arzo and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The illegitimate son of a fortune teller, Ezio Comparoni (1920-52) never knew his father, rarely left his home town, and admitted no one to his home. His deliberate obscurity was compounded by his use of many pseudonyms, including Silvio d'Arzo, under which he wrote the remarkable novella and three stories collected in The House of Others. The novella The House of Others is among the rare perfect works of twentieth century fiction. In a desolate mountain village an old woman visits the parish priest, ostensibly to ask about dissolving a marriage. Gradually, as she probes for information on "special cases"--cases in which what is obviously wrong can also be irrefutably right--it becomes clear her true question is whether or not she might take her own life. The question is metaphysical, involving not only the woman's life but the priest's; and to it he has no answer.

Book On Tyranny

  • Author : Leo Strauss
  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press
  • Release : 2013-11-15
  • ISBN : 022603352X
  • Pages : 359 pages

Download or read book On Tyranny written by Leo Strauss and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-11-15 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Tyranny is Leo Strauss’s classic reading of Xenophon’s dialogue Hiero, or Tyrannicus, in which the tyrant Hiero and the poet Simonides discuss the advantages and disadvantages of exercising tyranny. Included are a translation of the dialogue from its original Greek, a critique of Strauss’s commentary by the French philosopher Alexandre Kojève, and the complete correspondence between the two. This revised and expanded edition introduces important corrections throughout and expands Strauss’s restatement of his position in light of Kojève’s commentary to bring it into conformity with the text as it was originally published in France.
