Download or read book Saints and Signs written by Massimo Leone and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010-08-31 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saints and Signs analyzes a corpus of hagiographies, paintings, and other materials related to four of the most prominent saints of early modern Catholicism: Ignatius of Loyola, Philip Neri, Francis Xavier, and Therese of Avila. Verbal and visual documents – produced between the end of the Council of Trent (1563) and the beginning of the pontificate of Urban VIII (1623) – are placed in their historical context and analyzed through semiotics – the discipline that studies signification and communication – in order to answer the following questions: How did these four saints become signs of the renewal of Catholic spirituality after the Reformation? How did their verbal and visual representations promote new Catholic models of religious conversion? How did this huge effort of spiritual propaganda change the modern idea of communication? The book is divided into four sections, focusing on the four saints and on the particular topics related to their hagiologic identity: early modern theological debates on grace (Ignatius of Loyola); cultural contaminations between Catholic internal and external missions (Philip Neri); the Christian identity in relation to non-Christian territories (Francis Xavier); the status of women in early modern Catholicism (Therese of Avila).

This book was released on 2015-05-01T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In questo libro il lettore troverà consigli su come si scrive un saggio. «Non deve aspettarsi niente che possa servire alla sua creatività: per questo deve pensarci da solo. Troverà invece qualcosa che può servire a chiarirgli la natura e gli obiettivi di questo genere di scrittura, nel quale rientrano gli articoli scientifici, le monografie, le tesi di laurea, le memorie e le relazioni di un professionista, gli articoli di fondo per un quotidiano, i servizi per i settimanali e così via. In questo genere di testi l’autore non può limitarsi a esporre le proprie opinioni su un dato tema, ma deve avere una tesi principale da affermare e deve saperla argomentare, cioè presentare ragioni convincenti a suo favore. Come diceva Albert Einstein, che pure sapeva scrivere bene, l’eleganza possiamo lasciarla ai sarti e ai calzolai. Uno stile elegante e ricercato non serve a molto quando si tratta di persuadere.»
Download or read book Manuale di scrittura non creativa written by Federico Roncoroni and published by Bur. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La scrittura "non creativa" è quella che ci vede quotidianamente impegnati a produrre testi di carattere pratico, destinati a informare, esporre valutazioni e giudizi, esprimere e sostenere opinioni. Spesso considerata meno importante di quella "creativa", non è certo tale: scrivere bene significa essere padroni di una capacità comunicativa efficace e convincente, cosa essenziale al giorno d'oggi. Federico Roncoroni, uno dei più brillanti esperti della nostra lingua, presenta una guida semplice, agile e chiara, a questo imprescindibile strumento. Un percorso completo, sviluppato in tre sezioni: l'analisi dei principi fondamentali per imparare a descrivere, raccontare, esporre, interpretare, valutare e argomentare; la disamina attenta degli errori ortografici e grammaticali più frequenti; la proposta di un dizionario ragionato di nomenclatura, volto ad arricchire il bagaglio lessicale di ognuno. Un manuale al contempo tecnico e piacevole, ricco di esempi e consigli per quanti desiderano migliorare il proprio stile o togliersi qualche dubbio. Perché scrivere bene non è una secondaria questione di pignoleria.

[13].

Download or read book Super Structure written by James Scott Bell and published by Compendium Press. This book was released on 2015-02-13 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Story loves structure...and so do readers! Super Structure represents over two decades of research on what makes a novel or screenplay entertaining, commercial, original, and irresistible. Contrary to what some may think, structure is not a nasty inhibitor of creativity. Quite the opposite. Properly understood and utilized, structure is what translates story into a form readers are wired to receive it. And it is only when readers truly connect with your story that they turn from casual readers into fans. The material in this book greatly expands upon the chapter on structure in Write Your Novel From the Middle. Super Structure can be considered a companion to that book, but it also stands alone in its treatment of the elements of a solid and pleasing plot. Here's more good news: Super Structure will work for any type of writer--those who like to outline, those who just fly by "the seat of the pants," and those who do a little of both. That's because Super Structure stresses the concept of "signpost scenes." There are fourteen signpost scenes, or beats, that can be used to create an entire plot, the skeleton of an idea, or a map to help you figure out what to write next. Every signpost is given its own chapter and explanation, along with a section called "Helpful Hints for Plotters and Pantsers," showing you how to apply what you've learned and adapt it to your own style of writing. Never write a weak novel or screenplay again. Super Structure is a proven foundation that never fails. It frees you to add your original voice and vision, all of which adds up to bestselling fiction and hit screenplays. "I need three things before I tackle a new novel: Diet Coke, a laptop, and my dog-eared copies of James Scott Bell's books on writing craft!"- Kami Garcia, #1 NY Times & International Bestselling author

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of The New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of 2015 One of Jezebel's Favorite Books of 2016 A Manual for Cleaning Women compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin. With the grit of Raymond Carver, the humor of Grace Paley, and a blend of wit and melancholy all her own, Berlin crafts miracles from the everyday, uncovering moments of grace in the Laundromats and halfway houses of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Bay Area upper class, among switchboard operators and struggling mothers, hitchhikers and bad Christians. Readers will revel in this remarkable collection from a master of the form and wonder how they'd ever overlooked her in the first place. "Perhaps, with the present collection, Lucia Berlin will begin to gain the attention she deserves." -Lydia Davis
Download or read book The Nothing Man written by Jim Thompson and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War changed Clinton Brown. Permanently disfigured by a tragic military accident, he's struggling to find satisfaction from life as a rewrite man for Pacific City's Courier. Shame has led him to isolate himself from closest friends and even his estranged, still faithfully devoted wife, Ellen. Only the bottle keeps him company. But now Ellen has returned to Pacific City, and she's ready to do whatever it takes to get Brown back. Even if it means exposing his deepest secret ... a painful truth Brown would do anything to stop from coming to light. He'd kill a whole lot of people just to keep this one thing quiet--and soon enough, the bodies just happen to start piling up around him... THE NOTHING MAN is Thompson at his most psychologically astute, in a deeply suspenseful and tragic portrait of one man's journey through the dark side of the Postwar Boom.

Book excerpt: This book is written for classroom teachers who want to know more about e-learning and who would like to experiment with designing e-learning material to use in their own classrooms. It is primarily targeted at secondary teachers but there is no reason why primary school teachers and adult education teachers should not find it useful too. The other group we had in mind were those of you still undertaking initial teacher training. Although there are some exemplary courses, a depressing number of trainee teachers continue to arrive in the classroom having barely heard the words ‘e-learning’, still less have hands on experience of it.
