Download or read book Furious Cooking written by Maureen Seaton and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By turns chic, romantic, sardonic, droll, seductive, and in your face, Maureen Seaton is a cornucopia of attitudes and styles, a street-smart, deeply talented woman who wryly contemplates the charades that the self and the world assume - and how hard it is to stay in focus the morning after. It gets very, very hot in Seaton's kitchen and in her poems. As this inventive and imaginative poet states, "Furious Cooking is a stew of accidents and incidents roiling across universes". Seaton creates curious and energetic juxtapositions; she revisits violence and assesses its damages. The poet/woman in the thick of this caldron instigates polarities and assumes the roles of inquisitor and heretic, perpetrator and child, painter and artifact, scientist and specimen. She careens circularly through the hypocrisies and atrocities of church and partner, established sanctioned realities, the seeming senseless death of loved ones in this life and long ago.
Download or read book Sonnets for Michelangelo written by Vittoria Colonna and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most published and lauded woman writer of early sixteenth-century Italy, Vittoria Colonna (1490–1547) in effect defined what was the "acceptable" face of female authorship for her time. Hailed by the generation's leading male literati as an equal, she was praised both for her impeccable command of Petrarchan style and for the unimpeachable chastity and piety of the persona she promoted through her literary works. This book presents for the very first time a body of Colonna's verse that reveals much about her poetic aims and outlook, while also casting new light on one of the most famous friendships of the age. Sonnets for Michelangelo, originally presented in manuscript form to her close friend Michelangelo Buonarroti as a personal gift, illustrates the striking beauty and originality of Colonna's mature lyric voice and distinguishes her as a poetic innovator who would be widely imitated by female writers in Italy and Europe in the sixteenth century. After three centuries of relative neglect, this new edition promises to restore Colonna to her rightful place at the forefront of female cultural production in the Renaissance.

Download or read book Edith Bruck in the Mirror written by Philip Balma and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author of more than thirteen books and several volumes of poetry, screenwriter, and director, Edith Bruck is one of the leading literary voices in Italy, attracting increasing attention in the English-speaking world not least for her powerful Holocaust testimony, which is often compared with the work of her contemporaries Primo Levi and Giorgio Bassani. Born in Hungary in 1932, she was deported with her family to the concentration camps of Auschwitz, Dachau, Christianstadt, Landsberg, and Bergen-Belsen, where she lost both her parents and a brother. After the war, she traveled widely until 1954 when she settled in Rome. She has lived there ever since. This important new study is motivated by a desire to better understand and situate Bruck's art as well as to advance (and, when necessary, to revise) the critical discourse on her considerable and eclectic body of work. As such, it underscores and analyzes the intermedial nature of her contributions to contemporary Italian culture, which should no longer be understood merely in terms of her willingness to revisit the subject of the Holocaust on the printed page or the silver screen. It also includes previously unpublished interviews with the author. The book will be of broad interest to scholars and students of Jewish (especially Holocaust) studies, Italian literature, film studies, women's studies, and postcolonial culture.
Download or read book Alphabestiary written by H. Masud Taj and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining East and West, this volume of poetry and prose ruminations presents a celebration of the international language of fauna--the animals that reside at the core of the imagination. Each letter of the alphabet is linked to a different living thing, allowing these creatures to exist in the fabric of language and providing a categorical list of the beings that travel within thoughts and dreams. In the tradition of the Eastern voice and the Western custom of exegesis and explanation, this volume allows two very different approaches to literature to converge, creating an experience that is accessible, informative, and entertaining.

Download or read book Sulla Creazione dell Universo e l Esistenza di Dio written by Claudio Montinaro and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E se l'Universo che conosciamo fosse in realtà parte di un essere vivente incommensurabilmente più grande? In questa audace esplorazione filosofica, Claudio Montinaro ci invita a riconsiderare radicalmente la nostra concezione del cosmo e della divinità, proponendo una visione tanto provocatoria quanto affascinante: l'Universo come organismo vivente all'interno di un "Essere Padre". Attraverso un'analogia sorprendente con le matrioske russe, l'autore costruisce un modello cosmologico dove ogni essere vivente, dall'infinitamente piccolo all'incredibilmente grande, è parte di un sistema interconnesso, governato dalle stesse leggi fisiche e matematiche. Il Big Bang non sarebbe stato l'inizio di tutto. In questa visione rivoluzionaria, i buchi neri ed il tempo assumono una dimensione relativa completamente nuova: millenni della nostra storia potrebbero essere solo istanti nella vita di questo essere superiore. Montinaro sfida le concezioni tradizionali di un dio onnisciente e onnipotente, proponendo invece l'idea di una divinità che è essa stessa un organismo in evoluzione, forse ancora inconsapevole delle "infezioni" che si sviluppano al suo interno - noi esseri viventi. Una prospettiva che ci porta a riflettere non solo sulla nostra posizione nell'universo, ma anche sulla natura stessa dell'esistenza e della coscienza. Un saggio che fonde audacemente cosmologia e filosofia, invitandoci a contemplare la possibilità che la nostra ricerca di Dio potrebbe essere, in realtà, la scoperta che siamo già parte di esso.

Download or read book Georges Lema tre written by Pauline Landa and published by 50minutes.com. This book was released on 2023-01-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georges Lemaître è stato un sacerdote, astronomo e professore di fisica belga. Lemaître è noto soprattutto per aver sviluppato la teoria del Big Bang, oggi ampiamente accettata e che ha portato alla creazione di un nuovo campo di ricerca: la cosmologia. Lemaître ha proposto che l'universo si sia espanso da un unico punto, che ha chiamato "atomo primordiale". Anche se una parte della sua teoria - che l'universo fosse compresso in un unico atomo - è stata successivamente confutata, Lemaître è stato un pioniere nel suo campo e le sue scoperte hanno scosso il mondo della scienza. In soli 50 minuti, scoprirete come le sue azioni hanno plasmato la nostra comprensione del mondo e comprenderete la sua profonda influenza sulla cosmologia e sulla fisica. Questo libro, semplice e ricco di informazioni, offre una discussione approfondita delle più importanti scoperte scientifiche di Lemaître, tra cui la teoria del Big Bang e quella dell'espansione dell'universo. Presenta inoltre una biografia completa, una preziosa introduzione al contesto politico, sociale ed economico e una valutazione dell'impatto del suo lavoro, fornendo tutte le informazioni essenziali su questo pioniere della scienza. Georges Lemaître: Georges Lemaître è stato un sacerdote e astronomo belga che ha creato una delle teorie più famose della scienza moderna - il Big Bang - che ha cambiato completamente il modo di considerare la storia del nostro universo. Tuttavia, il termine "Big Bang" non è stato ideato da Lemaître stesso, ma è stato coniato da uno dei suoi critici quando l'ha pronunciato in un'intervista radiofonica per renderlo più accessibile al pubblico.
