Book excerpt: The first major battle fought by Garibaldi during the liberation of Italy took place in 1860 at Calatafimi, a small township in the western mountains on the island of Sicily. But Calatafimi is much more than just a historic site. This lush guide examines every aspect of the town, including its long and eventful history, its architecture and geology, and its rich customs, traditions, and religious festivals. The proud spirit of independence among the townspeople is captured by both contemporary interviews and the accounts of numerous foreign visitors over the centuries, among them te 19th-century author Samuel Butler. This is an enchanting history and cultural study of a town rife with eccentricity, respectability, and charm.

Download or read book Sicily written by Andrew Edwards and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising up from the heart of the Mediterranean, Sicily has a rich and ancient history spanning over 2,000 years. A bounty prized by invaders from the Greeks, Romans and Vandals to the Byzantines, Arabs and Normans, Sicily's violently beautiful landscapes are haunted by a vibrant mix of cultures and her soil has always been fertile ground for the literary and artistic imagination. This compelling guide uncovers the island's multi-faceted personality through those literary figures who have managed to get under her skin - from Pindar, Cicero and Aeschylus to Shakespeare and Cervantes; DH Lawrence, Coleridge and Oscar Wilde to Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Ezra Pound and Lawrence Durrell; as well as local writers who have defined the modern Italian novel - Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa and Leonardo Sciascia. Through their words and lives we witness the beauty, pain and power of the Sicilian cultural landscape and discover how the potent mix of influences on the island's society has been preserved forever in literature.

Book excerpt: In the future of an alternate world, Nimbus Stadt was a vast municipality on the continent of Vespasia. Only 115 miles away from the famous city of Polyxenburgh, Nimbus Stadt was a city where many immigrants to Vespasia first started their lives. One such immigrant was Taddeo Orzelli, a man who struggled at first to make ends meet. Taddeo struggled against the nativist policies of the native born Vespasians and their anti-immigration legislation in Vespasia. A different man, Jarvis Vassalle, the grandson of immigrants, struggled to find meaning in a world of dark secrets and wonderful hidden mysteries. Both of these men and their comrades will have to seek the truth while combating the machinations of a secret elite who will stop at nothing to achieve their malevolent goals. In the end, both Taddeo and Jarvis will meet their destinies in Nimbus Stadt. This is the sequel to Polyxenburgh.
