When Scottie's Italian teacher--a teenager with secrets of his own--disappears, her search for him leads her to discover other, darker truths about herself, her husband, and her country. Michael's dedication to saving the world from communism crumbles as he begins to see that he is a pawn in a much different game"--Amazon.com.

CATHERINE AND ST. DOMENIC. Catherine is the saint who claims most worship from the Sienese, and many are the books that have been written concerning her life; but at this distance of time it is hard to discern fully her true life from the many apocryphal records of the Romish Church, for since most of her biographies have been compiled with a devotional object, the miraculous covers a very wide area. She was born in 1347, being one of a large family, whose father Griacomo Benincasa carried on trade as a dyer not far from the Porta Fontebranda, whither the ample supply of water attracted those whose trades could not dispense with it. From her earliest years her character seems to have been the same. As a mere child she was always a welcome guest in the houses of neighbours, who called her by the name of Euphrosyne; and while still in her seventh year, she wept bitterly because her brother spoke to her suddenly as they came down the hill facing St. Domenico, thereby causing to vanish a glorious vision of Christ and His angels? She was of a spiritual and ecstatic nature, with a very vivid imagination, and a desire beyond that of most children to put in practice what was in her thoughts; and to these causes must be attributed such visions as mentioned above, and her supposed call to a hermit's life in one of the caves near Siena, and her dismissal again home by the same spiritual voice. As she advanced in years she was subjected to no little ill-usage, for declining to marry. The servant was dismissed, and all the household drudgery was put upon her, all of which she bore patiently; and finally her honest superstitious father, happening to come into her room one day when she was kneeling in prayer with a white...

Download or read book A Month in Siena written by Hisham Matar and published by Random House. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Return comes a profoundly moving contemplation of the relationship between art and life. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND EVENING STANDARD After finishing his powerful memoir The Return, Hisham Matar, seeking solace and pleasure, traveled to Siena, Italy. Always finding comfort and clarity in great art, Matar immersed himself in eight significant works from the Sienese School of painting, which flourished from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries. Artists he had admired throughout his life, including Duccio and Ambrogio Lorenzetti, evoke earlier engagements he’d had with works by Caravaggio and Poussin, and the personal experiences that surrounded those moments. Including beautiful full-color reproductions of the artworks, A Month in Siena is about what occurred between Matar, those paintings, and the city. That month would be an extraordinary period in the writer’s life: an exploration of how art can console and disturb in equal measure, as well as an intimate encounter with a city and its inhabitants. This is a gorgeous meditation on how centuries-old art can illuminate our own inner landscape—current relationships, long-lasting love, grief, intimacy, and solitude—and shed further light on the present world around us. Praise for A Month in Siena “As exquisitely structured as The Return, driven by desire, yearning, loss, illuminated by the kindness of strangers. A Month in Siena is a triumph.”—Peter Carey

Download or read book To the discovery of the Chianti Wine Road From Florence to San Gimignano and Siena passing by way of Volterra written by Danilo Papi and published by goWare. This book was released on 2019-07-03 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does another Chianti guide really make sense? It does, if written by an author hailing from Chianti. The author is indeed a real Chianti native who, with his camera, has traveled this territory far and wide to accompany us through its extraordinary particularities. Very often there is still a lack of adequate support to visit the so-called minor areas, which indeed are not minor, as shown by the Chianti territory so rich in art, breathtaking landscapes, history and food. This guide wants to fill this void, accompanying us with simplicity and frankness through unusual itineraries, villages, churches and abbeys where, in addition to works of art, we will be able to learn about lesser-known glimpses, Tuscan expressions, owners of shops and clubs frequented by Chianti residents, the “chiantigiani”. Briefly, there is everything we need here: a local friend who, with suggestions, anecdotes and advices, accompanies us in discovering Chianti with some excursions to the nearby wonders of Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Certaldo, Volterra.
