Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the man who conquered and seduced the one who, immortalized indecipherably by Leonardo, with her gaze then seduced the world. It is the story of Tristan, a young pontifical diplomat with a mysterious and dark past who, among strategies and deceptions, between adventures and plots, between intrigues and the wars of Renaissance Italy, brilliantly carried out his missions, one after the other, using the art he knew best, the most powerful weapon: that of seduction. However, the moment came when fate commissioned him the most important undertaking ... A precariat researcher from the CNR of Pisa, an expert in cryptography and blockchain, accidentally finds a strange encrypted file in an archive of a Tuscan abbey that contains an incredible, extraordinary, unpublished story ... from which he can no longer detach himself. In a cold night in which History gave the general rehearsals of the Renaissance, while the lords of Italy annihilated each other for the ephemeral control of the fragile borders of their States, a young pontifical diplomat with a mysterious past preferred to try his hand at the art of seduction more than that of war. Who was he? He was no prince, leader, prelate, he had no official title ... yet talking to him was equivalent to conferring directly with the Holy Father, he moved casually on the complex political chessboard of that period but never left a trace, he wrote History every day but never appeared in any of its pages ... he was everywhere and yet it was as if he did not exist. From a lordship to another, from a kingdom to a republic, between strategies and deceptions, between adventures and plots, Tristan successfully completed his missions ... until fate commissioned him the most important undertaking: to discover who he really was. To do this he had to decipher a letter from his real mother, kept hidden for 42 years by the most powerful caste of the time. To do so, he had to go through that incredible temporal interstice with an extraordinary and unprecedented concentration of characters (statesmen, leaders, artists, writers, engineers, scientists, navigators, courtiers, etc.) and who significantly, drastically and irreversibly have changed the course of history. To do this he had to seduce the one who Leonardo had immortalized indecipherably, and with her gaze had seduced the world. PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Download or read book The Seduction of Pessimism in the Novel written by Tom Ribitzky and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-10-18 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seduction of Pessimism in the Novel: Eros, Futility, and the Quarrel with Philosophy explores the novel as a response to the Platonic myth that narrates the rift at the core of our being. Eros is supposedly the consolation for this rift, but the history of the novel documents its expression as one of frustrated desires, neuroses, anxieties, and cosmic doom. As if repeating the trauma from that original split in Plato—a split that also divides philosophy from literature—the novel treats eros as a site of loss and grief, from the medieval romances to Goethe, Emily Brontë, Proust, Mann, Woolf, D.H. Lawrence, and Nabokov. The pessimism that emerges from this eros, tells us something fundamental about who we are, something that only the novel can say. At a time when both education and leisure are increasingly ignoring the novel’s imperative to sit with ambiguity, complexity, and contingency, and as we are hurtling toward a bleak future of climate catastrophe and political instability, the novel is one of the last bastions of humanity even as it is quickly being eroded.

Book excerpt: Emotion and the Seduction of the Senses, Baroque to Neo-Baroque examines the relationship between the cultural productions of the baroque in the seventeenth century and the neo-baroque in our contemporary world. The volume illuminates how, rather than providing rationally ordered visual realms, both the baroque and the neo-baroque construct complex performative spaces whose spectacle seeks to embrace, immerse, and seduce the senses and solicit the emotions of the beholder.
