Download or read book Aninu written by Oliviero Arzuffi and published by Oltre edizioni. This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aninu è la storia di una prostituta sacra dell'isola vulcanica di Santorini prima della grande eruzione del XVII secolo a.C. che ha cancellato la civiltà minoica "nello spazio di un giorno e di una notte tremenda", come ci riferisce Platone nel Timeo riferendola alla mitica Atlantide. Le vicende narrate in questo romanzo, la cui protagonista, fondando una comunità ideale di vita chiamata Thera e facendosi tutt'una con la tragica fine della sua amata isola, si presentano come eventi fondativi della cultura occidentale. In Aninu, la descrizione dei luoghi, la rappresentazione dei costumi, la rievocazione delle credenze e dei miti delle popolazioni toccate dalle vicende narrate sono frutto di una meticolosa ricerca archeologica su ciò che sappiamo di questo misterioso popolo che vanta, come antenati, gli abitanti della più antica città del mondo, Çatal, nell'odierna Turchia, oggi dichiarata patrimonio dell'umanità, e come discendenti le mirabili popolazioni della Grecia classica. La storia di Aninu e della sua isola, unitamente alle vicissitudini degli altri protagonisti, offrono al lettore l'occasione per rivisitare, e in qualche modo per rivivere, gli aspetti meno conosciuti o ancora abitati dal mistero delle multiformi civiltà che si sono affacciate sul Mediterraneo, inesauribile mare delle meraviglie.

Download or read book Tuscan Spaces written by Silvia M. Ross and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important locus for English-speaking writers, the region of Tuscany is also well represented in the Italian literary canon. In Tuscan Spaces, Silvia Ross focuses on constructions of Tuscany in twentieth-century Italian literature and juxtaposes them with English prose works by such authors as E.M. Forster and Frances Mayes to expose the complexity of literary representation centred on a single milieu. Ross uses the works of writers such as Federigo Tozzi, Aldo Palazzeschi, Vasco Pratolini, and Elena Gianini Belotti, to seek out alternative visions of Tuscan space and emphasizes that each author fashions the region in a manner which reflects their personal poetics, background, and experiences. Theories of cultural geography, space, travel, and narrative contribute to Ross's consideration of the dualisms commonly employed in writings about Tuscany, such as country/city, nature/culture, female/male, and self/other, all of which are in turn affected by her interrogation of the local/foreign opposition that underlies the study as a whole.
Download or read book Sulle tracce di George Orwell in Birmania written by Emma Larkin and published by ADD Editore. This book was released on 2018-05-09 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Birmania gira una battuta popolare, secondo cui Orwell non scrisse soltanto un romanzo sul Paese, Giorni birmani, ma un'intera trilogia, completata da La fattoria degli animali e 1984. La connessione della Birmania (oggi chiamata Myanmar) con George Orwell non è metaforica, ma profonda e reale: sua madre era nata in Birmania al culmine del raj britannico e la nonna viveva ancora lì quando lui decise di arruolarsi. Alla scomparsa di Orwell, il romanzo in stesura trovato sulla sua scrivania era ambientato in Birmania. In un intrepido diario di viaggio dal taglio politico e biografico, Emma Larkin guida il lettore alla scoperta dei luoghi dove Orwell ha vissuto e lavorato come agente della Polizia imperiale britannica, vivendo esperienze che condizionarono profondamente la sua visione del mondo. Attraversando Mandalay e Yangon, le isolate aree meridionali del Delta dell'Irrawaddy e le montagne del nord dove gli inglesi andavano in villeggiatura per sfuggire al caldo delle pianure, l'autrice ritrae una Birmania appassionante e struggente. Prima colonizzata e in seguito governata da una giunta militare isolazionista e brutale, la nazione ha visto la propria storia e identità cancellate a più riprese da metodi di governo orwelliani, che hanno soppresso libertà d'espressione e pensiero. Ispirata dalla chiarezza morale e dal rifiuto dell'ingiustizia di Orwell, l'autrice incontra persone che hanno trovato un modo di resistere agli effetti annientatori di uno dei più crudeli Stati di polizia, restituendo loro dignità. Questo libro è una chiave per riscoprire Orwell, appassionarsi alla Birmania e trovare gli strumenti per capire il travagliato e contraddittorio processo di democratizzazione in corso.

Download or read book Thorvaldsen written by Jan Zahle and published by Aarhus Universitetsforlag. This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 825 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Danish neoclassical sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844), who lived most of his life in Rome, was not only one of Europe’s most soughtafter artists; he was also a collector. In addition to his own works and drawings, he built extensive collections of paintings, prints, drawings and books – and of ancient artefacts from Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquity: coins, lockets, containers, vases, lamps, fragments of sculpture and more. He also acquired a large collection of plaster casts, primarily after ancient sculptures and reliefs, but also of works dating from the Renaissance and up until his own lifetime. Thanks to Thorvaldsen’s bequest to the city of Copenhagen, his birthplace, all of these collections are still largely intact and well preserved at his museum. Home to a total of 657 plaster casts, the Thorvaldsen Museum’s cast collection is unique for several reasons: The collection offers us insight into the sculptor’s working methods and the development of his work because it served a clear function as an image bank of forms, motifs and subjects for Thorvaldsen’s own endeavours. Furthermore, the dual fact that the collection is so well preserved and was established over a relatively brief period of time makes it a valuable example illuminating the trade and distribution of plaster casts during the first half of the nineteenth century. These areas of study form the central focal point of Volume I of this publication. Volume II contains a catalogue of the individual objects in the cast collection, while Volume III collects the overviews, inventories, concordances and primary sources referred to in the first two volumes. Arising out of many years of study of Thorvaldsen’s cast collection conducted by their author, the classical archaeologist Jan Zahle, these books contain comprehensive source material from the period, much of it previously unknown.
