Book excerpt: "Tigre Reale" è un romanzo che ci porta a fare i conti con l’Amore e con la Morte, due grandi temi che Verga ci racconta attraverso la parabola di Giorgio La Ferlita, giovane perennemente indeciso e volubile. L’amore appassionato per Nata – una contessa russa malata di tubercolosi, che Giorgio ha conosciuto ad un ballo a Firenze – si sovrappone alla sua serena vita famigliare con Erminia. Giorgio, venuto a conoscenza della convalescenza di Nata ai Bagni di Acireale, si assenta sempre più spesso, gettando Erminia fra le braccia di un lontano cugino. Infine, quando anche Erminia si ammalerà, Giorgio sarà costretto ad una dolorosa scelta... Giovanni Verga (1840-1922) nasce a Catania in un’antica famiglia di origine aragonese. Arruolatosi nella Guardia Nazionale di Garibaldi (1860), si dedica in parallelo alle prime produzioni letterarie, dando vita alla rivista "Roma degli Italiani". Vivrà a lungo fra Firenze, Milano e Roma – entrando così in contatto col coevo mondo letterario – per poi ristabilirsi definitivamente a Catania (1893). Verga è considerato il massimo esponente del Verismo e, con capolavori assoluti quali "I Malavoglia" e "Mastro-don Gesualdo", ha conosciuto grandissima fama, ottenendo nel 1920 anche la nomina a Senatore del Regno d’Italia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The fact that Verga's most rebellious heroines die violently at the hands of men has led to accusations of misogyny or, at the very least, of excessive social and artistic conventionality. Yet it is precisely Verga's awareness of convention that enriches his portrayal of women. The reaction of his female characters to social custom at a particular moment in their lives defines them as individuals. With rare insight, Verga depicts the female experience as both personal and universal, showing that different kinds of women are linked by the experience of being female in a male-centered culture. At the same time, however, he reveals the isolation in which women grow and live, separated from men and other women by social and cultural barriers."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: This book examines how in Italian literature and film, as well as in society, women were confined to traditional roles and illness often represented the consequence for transgressing those roles. Feigning illness offered women a way to “own” the illness and become masters of their bodies as well as their stories and destinies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Io me ne rammento ancora, dopo tanto tempo, e non ho vista colei che una sola volta, e mi sembra d'averla ancora dinanzi agli occhi in quella gran sala d'albergo triste e nuda, mentre stendeva verso il fuoco le mani pallide e scintillanti di gemme, e mi fissava in volto gli occhi febbrili »Tigre reale è un romanzo in diciannove capitoli di Giovanni Verga, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1875.Giorgio La Ferlita, un giovane di carattere debole e volubile intento a costruirsi una carriera da ambasciatore, conosce a Firenze, durante un ballo a Pitti, Nata, una contessa russa malata di tubercolosi e ospite a Firenze per consiglio dei medici russi che la invitavano a prendere aria salubre mediterranea, e ne rimane attratto. Il giorno stesso in cui la conobbe, per via di un gesto apparentemente sciocco (egli fu invitato al ballo in sostituzione di un famoso spadaccino), accettò e vinse un duello.I due iniziano a frequentarsi con assiduità mantenendo però la loro relazione entro i limiti di una intensa amicizia.Nata non volle mai sbilanciarsi troppo con Giorgio per via di una forte delusione precedente, causa tra l'altro della tubercolosi che l'aveva fatta ammalare, che vide il suicidio dell'amante.La storia viene interrotta dall'annuncio della partenza di Giorgio per Lisbona e dall'arrivo del marito di Nata che la raggiunge per riportarla a casa. Nata scrive a Giorgio una lettera e gli promette che quando sentirà la morte vicina verrà a morire presso di lui e che nel frattempo vivrà nel suo amore.Trascorso un po' di tempo Giorgio si sposa con Erminia e durante la festa per celebrare la nascita del suo primo figlio viene a sapere dal dottor Rendona che Nata è sua ospite ai Bagni di Acireale e che i suoi giorni sono ormai contati, aggiungendo che tale sua paziente andrà ad assistere ad una rappresentazione straordinaria al Teatro Comunale, nonostante le sue gravi condizioni di salute. Giorgio, senza che la moglie ne sia a conoscenza, riprende a frequentare la contessa malata ma nel frattempo arriva Carlo, un cugino di Erminia, che un tempo era innamorato della donna e ne era ricambiato e i due rimangono nuovamente attratti l'un verso l'altro. Giorgio intanto continua ad assentarsi per andare a trovare la contessa e Carlo rimane molto vicino a Erminia che in lui trova conforto. Ma una notte il bambino di Giorgio ed Erminia rischia di morire e Carlo, mentre Giorgio è da Nata, conforta la cugina.Quando Giorgio fa rientro a casa, si rende conto che la situazione del figlio stava diventando grave e decide di non allontanarsi più né dalla moglie né dal piccolo. Giorgio vivrà questo ritorno nel senso di colpa e di rimorso nei confronti della moglie, ai suoi occhi pura e immeritevole del torto di un amore extraconiugale. Erminia prega Carlo di partire e dal dispiacere si ammala. Il medico di famiglia, il medesimo dottor Rendona, consigliava più volte il ricorso all'aria libera per far riprendere Erminia, suggerendo la tenuta di Giarre.Tuttavia Giorgio, per evitare in ogni modo qualsiasi possibile rimpianto di Nata visto che la strada per Giarre passa da Acireale, trovava mille scuse per evitare il viaggio. Una notte la donna, in preda ai deliri, confessa al marito di aver amato Carlo; Giorgio sentirà ancora più rispetto nei confronti della moglie per aver confessato prima di lui, il quale in lacrime la abbraccia. Al sentire e vedere le lacrime del marito la donna dice di sentirsi meglio. La crisi di Erminia passa e Giorgio, riunito alla sua famiglia e sereno, accetta di affrontare un viaggio a Giarre, per chiudere definitivamente col passato.Tuttavia alla stazione di Acireale il treno tarda a ripartire e l'uomo si sente crescer l'imbarazzo finché non si rende conto che sono fermi per via di una processione funebre che sta occupando un altro treno a loro parallelo, costituito da due sole carrozze: è il trasporto funebre di Nata che il marito riporta in patria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Animated by a luminous goddess at its center, the diva film provided a forum for denouncing social evils and exploring new models of behavior among the sexes...Dalle Vacche offers the first authoritative study of this important film genre of the cinema that preceded the First World War...Contrasting the Italian diva with the Hollywood vamp Theda Bara and the famous Danish star Asta Nielsen, Dalle Vacche shows how the diva oscillates between articulating Henri Bergson's vibrant life-force and representing the suffering figure of the Catholic mater dolorosa." -- Cover.

Download or read book Flashbacks in Film written by Maureen Turim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flashback is a crucial moment in a film narrative, one that captures the cinematic expression of memory, and history. This author’s wide-ranging account of this single device reveals it to be an important way of creating cinematic meaning. Taking as her subject all of film history, the author traces out the history of the flashback, illuminating that history through structuralist narrative theory, psychoanalytic theories of subjectivity, and theories of ideology. From the American silent film era and the European and Japanese avant-garde of the twenties, from film noir and the psychological melodrama of the forties and fifties to 1980s art and Third World cinema, the flashback has interrogated time and memory, making it a nexus for ideology, representations of the psyche, and shifting cultural attitudes.

Download or read book Italian Style written by Eugenia Paulicelli and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first in-depth, book-length study on fashion and Italian cinema from the silent film to the present. Italian cinema launched Italian fashion to the world. The book is the story of this launch. The creation of an Italian style and fashion as they are perceived today, especially by foreigners, was a product of the post World War II years. Before then, Parisian fashion had dominated Europe and the world. Just as fashion was part of Parisian and French national identity, the book explores the process of shaping and inventing an Italian style and fashion that ran parallel to, and at times took the lead in, the creation of an Italian national identity. In bringing to the fore these intersections, as well as emphasizing the importance of craft in cinema, fashion and costume design, the book aims to offer new visions of films by directors such as Nino Oxilia, Mario Camerini, Alessandro Blasetti, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Luchino Visconti and Paolo Sorrentino, of film stars such as Lyda Borelli, Francesca Bertini, Pina Menichelli, Lucia Bosè, Monica Vitti, Marcello Mastroianni, Toni Servillo and others, and the costume archives and designers who have been central to the development of Made in Italy and Italian style.
