Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1997 Nobel Prize for Literature, Dario Fo is one of the world's most important contemporary playwrights, forging subversive comedy, clowning, unusual linguistic experimentation, and brilliant playwriting into a comedy of complete originality. In a first-person monologue that bends and mutates language and historical fact, Johan Padan and the Discovery of the Americas is a brilliant, vividly imagined retelling of Christopher Columbus's voyage to America. Told by a last-minute conscript assigned to clean the shipboard pig stalls, who goes on to be adopted by a tribe of Indians and help them fight conquistadors, it posits a riotous alternate history in which the dynamics between native and white, male and female, history and comedy are never what they seem.

Download or read book Il potere della mente che spacca l atomo Tradotto written by Charles Fillmore and published by David De Angelis. This book was released on 2021-06-19 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LA MAGGIORANZA delle persone ha idee rozze o distorte sul carattere e la posizione dello Spirito. Pensano che lo Spirito non abbia alcun ruolo negli affari mondani e che possa essere conosciuto da una persona solo dopo la sua morte. Ma Gesù disse: 'Dio è Spirito'; disse anche: 'Il regno di Dio è dentro di voi'. La scienza ci dice che c'è una vita universale che anima e sostiene tutte le forme dell'universo. La scienza ha fatto breccia nell'atomo e lo ha rivelato carico di un'energia tremenda che può essere liberata e resa capace di dare agli abitanti della terra poteri oltre l'espressione, quando la sua legge di espressione sarà scoperta. Gesù evidentemente sapeva di questa energia nascosta nella materia e ha usato la sua conoscenza per fare i cosiddetti miracoli. I nostri scienziati moderni dicono che una sola goccia d'acqua contiene abbastanza energia latente da far saltare un edificio di dieci piani. Questa energia, la cui esistenza è stata scoperta dagli scienziati moderni, è lo stesso tipo di energia spirituale che era conosciuta da Elia, Eliseo e Gesù, e utilizzata da loro per compiere miracoli. La scienza sta scoprendo la dinamica miracolosa della religione, ma la scienza non ha ancora compreso il potere direttivo dinamico del pensiero dell'uomo. Tutti i cosiddetti operatori di miracoli affermano di non produrre da soli i risultati meravigliosi; di essere solo gli strumenti di un'entità superiore. Gesù non sosteneva di avere l'esclusivo potere soprannaturale che gli viene solitamente attribuito. Aveva esplorato l'energia eterea, che chiamava il 'regno dei cieli'; la sua comprensione era al di là di quella dell'uomo medio, ma sapeva che altri uomini potevano fare quello che lui faceva se solo ci avessero provato. Incoraggiò i suoi seguaci a prenderlo come centro della fede e ad usare il potere del pensiero e della parola. Chi crede in me, farà anche lui le opere che io faccio; e ne farà di più grandi".. La grande rinascita moderna della guarigione divina è dovuta all'applicazione della stessa legge che usò Gesù. Egli esigeva la fede da parte di coloro che guariva, e con quella fede come punto di contatto mentale e spirituale liberava l'energia latente nella struttura atomica dei suoi pazienti ed essi venivano restituiti alla vita e alla salute. Abbiate fede nel potere della vostra mente di penetrare e liberare l'energia che è repressa negli atomi del vostro corpo, e sarete sbalorditi dalla risposta. Le funzioni paralizzate in qualsiasi parte del corpo possono essere ripristinate all'azione parlando all'intelligenza e alla vita spirituale dentro di loro.

Download or read book Paroimia Brusantino Florio Sarnelli and Italian Proverbs From the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries written by Daniela D’Eugenio and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proverbs constitute a rich archive of historical, cultural, and linguistic significance that affect genres and linguistics codes. They circulate through writers, texts, and communities in a process that ultimately results in modifications in their structure and meanings. Hence, context plays a crucial role in defining proverbs as well as in determining their interpretation. Vincenzo Brusantino’s Le cento novella (1554), John Florio’s Firste Fruites (1578) and Second Frutes (1591), and Pompeo Sarnelli’s Posilecheata (1684) offer clear representations of how traditional wisdom and communal knowledge reflect the authors’ personal perspectives on society, culture, and literature. The analysis of the three authors’ proverbs through comparisons with classical, medieval, and early modern collections of maxims and sententiae provides insights on the fluidity of such expressions, and illustrates the tight relationship between proverbs and sociocultural factors. Brusantino’s proverbs introduce ethical interpretations to the one hundred novellas of Boccaccio’s The Decameron, which he rewrites in octaves of hendecasyllables. His text appeals to Counter-Reformation society and its demand for a comprehensible and immediately applicable morality. In Florio’s two bilingual manuals, proverbs fulfill a need for language education in Elizabethan England through authentic and communicative instruction. Florio manipulates the proverbs’ vocabulary and syntax to fit the context of his dialogues, best demonstrating the value of learning Italian in a foreign country. Sarnelli’s proverbs exemplify the inherent creative and expressive potentialities of the Neapolitan dialect vis-à-vis languages with a more robust literary tradition. As moral maxims, ironic assessments, or witty insertions, these proverbs characterize the Neapolitan community in which the fables take place.

Download or read book A Gemstone in the Rock written by Donato Placido and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-30 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once Bukowski was asked: Do you believe in God? He replied: No, I believe only in horses. I do not know why we always realize things when it is too late. Ive also bet on horses for a period. But, differently from Bukowski whom I respect so much, I quit horses and bet on God. Really, I think it is for this faith that I found myself with my back against the wall. Against the wall was the first title I wanted to give to this book. There are a lot of people in the world: tramps, prisoners, all types of emarginated people who are alienated just because, in my opinion, they do not manage to keep pace with a cheering occidental cult of efficiency, to keep up with the rules for which the society, the system did not forgive them. But Christ said: I came to the world for the ill, not for the sane. Thus, is it really true the last will be the first? Maybe, if, as far as I know, a probable God does not consider things the way people do. Anyway, what I have never understood is: there is a baby born from Gypsies and there is another one born from a rich American family. What is the fault of the first one whose destiny is immediately signed? A mystery! So, A Gemstone in the Rock, in its essential message, is an invitation to bet on God as it is the only chance we have in our life. It is also an invitation to prayto pray more often during the day. Even at work. But without putting the entertainment aside: it gives colours to our life. Thats why the title is A Gemstone in the Rock: life is nothing but a precious stone in the rock: you can observe it in its splendour but you cannot take it with your naked hands. As far as the emarginated people are concerned, let us help them bearing in mind that, differently from what the main part of respectable Catholics think, to help them is not at all a walk of pleasure. I say it with a poem: How much pain I get for a kiss to a poor wretch! This book has got a particular: it is like a human being in the course of his life with its high and low moments between faith and total loss of courage. P.S. As far as my poem Now (Faith) is concerned, for a question of a dramaturgic effect I left the sequence of the passion events according to my poetic license. Have a good time reading! Sincerely, Donato Placido This book was born as a synthesis of our writings, our thoughts and vision of the world. I made Donatos acquaintance while he was focused on hypotheses of a staged version of a Pirandellos play. His poetry published and appreciated in Italy, inspired me. I proposed to him being published abroad. I read Donatos material thoroughly and put it in a sequence (I would rather say I had to cut it like a movie: his writings evoke movie-like images). This book owes to me its structure, order and some chapters: trilogy Loneliness of Light I wrote on the basis of apocryphal Gospels found in the Dead Sea in 2004, in particular, Judas and Magdalenes Gospels. However, the dialogue between Judas and Magdalene (staged in 2006 in Moscow at an international festival of directing plays) and Magdalenes monologue are of pure intuition (or, if we prefer so, of artistic invention). Other book parts of which I am the author are: the dialogue Puppets of freedom inspired by Dantons Death by Georg Bchner, extracts from Disillusions (money, power, female love), extracts from Absence and silence (The end of the world, Silence, loneliness and . . .), the whole chapter of Encounter (which is Donatos novel of the same name I put in a nutshell and in blank verse) and my poem on a true love, Till the darkness. In a human life everyone passes from happiness to despair, from the idea of God dissolved in everything to the idea of his absence, one stakes on the material goods accumulation, on power, on love, even on the idea of freedombut then one notices all these concepts are only illusions, just glimpses
