Book excerpt: Ancora un libro sulla mia cittá, ed ancora una volta un libro senza prestese letterarie, né tanto meno storiche. Un libro informale, un racconto, anzi tanti racconti, scelti e riassunti tra quelli in cui mi sono imbattuto, scritti dai viaggiatori, da quei miei amici ideali quali sono tutti i viaggiatori del tempo e dello spazio, e da quelli che hanno conosciuto e scritto di Brindisi in particolare. E quanti saranno stati i viaggiatori che son passati da Brindisi nello spazio degli ultimi tremila anni? Tanti, tantissimi, un ́infinitá! Certo, assolutamente non un libro di storia, eppure quella sequenza cronologica che ho voluto seguire nell ́ordinare i racconti qui "raccontati", in qualche modo la storia di Brindisi la lascia intravedere, la lascia scoprire ed indovinare, quanto meno ad un lettore appena appena un pò fantasioso... a me é successo e mi auguro possa succedere anche a qualcun altro!

Download or read book Schegge di storia brindisina written by Gianfranco Perri and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-12-21 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Schegge di Storia brindisina" e una raccolta di quasi cento schede nelle quali si presenta sequenzialmente e molto riassunta la storia di Brindisi, la "Filia solis" dellimperatore Federico II, la romana Brundisium e la messapica Brunda, dalle sue origini pre-romane fino alla sua annessione al Regno dItalia, nel 1860. La raccolta non pretende essere un libro di storia, ne pretende costituire un relato storico completo, ma e semplicemente solo una raccolta di "schegge," di note ed appunti cioe, sulle vicende piu rappresentative della plurimillenaria storia della citta, raccontate cronologicamente in maniera puntuale semplice e, spero, amena. Gli spunti principali di queste "schegge" provengono dalla "Cronaca dei Sindaci di Brindisi" per gli anni dal 1529 al 1860; mentre per i precedenti, dalle origini fino al 1529, gli spunti provengono tutti dalle sconfinate pagine del web.

Download or read book Will and Testament written by Vigdis Hjorth and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for The Millions Best Translated Book Awards for Fiction Longlisted for the National Book Award for Translated Literature Four siblings. Two summer houses. One terrible secret. When a dispute over her parents' will grows bitter, Bergljot is drawn back into the orbit of the family she fled twenty years before. Her mother and father have decided to leave two island summer houses to her sisters, disinheriting the two eldest siblings from the most meaningful part of the estate. To outsiders, it is a quarrel about property and favouritism. But Bergljot, who has borne a horrible secret since childhood, understands the gesture as something very different-a final attempt to suppress the truth and a cruel insult to the grievously injured. Will and Testament is a lyrical meditation on trauma and memory, as well as a furious account of a woman's struggle to survive and be believed. Vigdis Hjorth's novel became a controversial literary sensation in Norway and has been translated into twenty languages.

Download or read book The Sounds of Paris in Verdi s La traviata written by Emilio Sala and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-09 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Paris and its musical landscape influence Verdi's La traviata? In this book, Emilio Sala re-examines La traviata in the cultural context of the French capital in the mid-nineteenth century. Verdi arrived in Paris in 1847 and stayed for almost two years: there, he began his relationship with Giuseppina Strepponi and assiduously attended performances at the popular theatres, whose plays made frequent use of incidental music to intensify emotion and render certain dramatic moments memorable to the audience. It is in one of these popular theatres that Verdi probably witnessed one of the first performances of Dumas fils' La Dame aux camélias, which became hugely successful in 1852. Making use of primary source material, including unpublished musical works, journal articles and rare documents and images, Sala's close examination of the incidental music of La Dame aux camélias - and its musical context - offers an invaluable interpretation of La traviata's modernity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By Antonio Tabucchi, one of the most renowned voices in European literature and the foremost Italian writer of his generation, The Woman of Porto Pim is made up of enchanting, hallucinatory fragments that take place on the Azores Islands off the coast of Portugal. Told by a visiting Italian writer unearthing legends, relics and histories of the inhabitants, the tales shed light on a local restaurant proprietress's impossible love with an Azorean fisherman during WWII, a dazzling whaling expedition of eras past, shipwrecks both metaphorical and real, and a playful look at humankind from the perspective of a whale.

Bilingual Editon. Translated from the Italian by Luigi Bonaffini. THE BEDROOM [La camera da letto] is Bertolucci's best-known work, so popular that the poet once read it to television viewers on a seven-hour program. It is a narrative poem that traces the history of the poet's family across seven generations with directness, precision and attention to everyday details, major events and fantastic surprises. Paolo Lagazzi writes in his introduction: "THE BEDROOM is a sort of a multi-novel, or a distillation of very diverse narrative forms and intuitions: a Bildungsroman and fairytale, an epoch novel, a novel-chronicle, a dramatic novel and a picaresque novel. An experimental work in the most authentic sense of the word..." "Nothing of time's essence escapes or is neglected by the author's ravenous sensibility, no less active in recording the multiple places in which existence rests (the city and the countryside, the sea and the plane, the Po river and the Maremma) in an exuberant display of forms, lights, perspectives, tonalities."—Luigi Ferrara
