This book was released on 2020-12-24 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intertwined with the tantalizing, never-ending quest for a man's own roots and sense of self, the novel narrates the mysterious, epic story of the ancient people of the Alps, the untold history of mythical Rhaetia: a land largely identified with the Rhaetian Alps, a country that in 600 B.C. comprised what is today’s central and south-west Switzerland, Grisons and Ticino, Liechtenstein, the entire Tyrol and Vorarlberg in Austria, Valtellina in the north of Lombardy, and the Adige valley in Italy. At the time of the Roman conquest it extended to parts of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg states in Germany, south of the river Danube, including the territories of the Vindelici people, who occupied the northern part of Rhaetia and whose chief town was Augusta Vindelicorum (Augsburg). Arguably, it is the human lamp itself, the fire of sheer existence, the barrier to our reconnection with the powerful forces of nature, and the beyond world, that of ancestry. What is it today the Spirit of Rhaetia? Does it still exist? Or was it just a dream in the darkness of the night that turned into fire, exhausted itself, and faded into oblivion? Our times are doomed, as we are presently confronted with the most powerful forces that blind our eyes, drain our strength, turn us into mere cannon fodder at the mercy of the demons of modernity. Like never before, a man's soul screams for freedom, his very flesh and bones ache for truth; his scorching thirst for meaning is unutterable and unbearable; he seeks for the burning sun, the cool moon, the glimmering skies, the very earth that never changed; he turns to the land of the ancestors for salvation, thus he turns to the everlasting and everstanding mountains. Now, one man will ascend them one last time, to rejoin his ancestors and meet the Almighty God.
Download or read book The Poems of Giovanni Pascoli Translated in English with Original Italian Text written by Alessandro Baruffi and published by Alessandro Baruffi. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poems of Giovanni Pascoli, Translated in English, next to their Original Italian Text. Giovanni Pascoli (b. at San Mauro Romagna, December 31, 1855, d. at Barga April 6, 1912) was a classical scholar and one of the greatest European poets of his times. The work of Giovanni Pascoli is considered the beginning of modern Italian poetry. Amidst the thick fog, in the rough seas and the rugged shores of a country divided by historic, cultural, and linguistic barriers, Pascoli became the lighthouse to point to, in order to find a common language and a way to unity. In appearance, he often simply spoke of “little things:” bucolic scenes, small images of nature, peasants and their everyday chores; even animals, birds, plants, and flowers with mystical names found their cozy spot under the beaming sun of Pascoli’s marvelous pen.

Download or read book Corpus Hermeticum in Latin and English written by M.P. Steiner and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every process of initiation is a period of learning on several levels, and the most important of them is of course that of the Spirit-Soul -- the Mind -- the gnostic plane. The Corpus Hermeticum explores these levels, using didactical dialogues between a Master and his Disciple, in a language precise and almost modern, and yet occasionally poetic and heartfelt. Sometimes it reminds the Platonic dialogues on their highest philosophical level, while still remaining quite understandable for everybody ... The Corpus Hermeticum is one of the oldest documents of western philosophy, revered by all connoisseurs of this discipline: It conveys the timeless wisdom of Initiates in their quest for truth about God as Creator, about the World as His Creation, and about Man with his cosmic destiny, mission and universal responsibility. As a first term for the authorship of the Corpus Hermeticum we consider Alexandria between ca. 150 b.C. and ca. 250 a.D. -- This is the period when elements of Arabian, Babylonian, Hebrew, Hellenistic and Neoplatonic elements were interweaved and harmonized. -- There even are some echoes from Lao-Dse and the Upanishads. The text of the Corpus Hermeticum was originally written in Greek, then translated into Latin by the Initiate Marsilio Ficino of Florence in 1468, and printed for the first time in 1471. Modern science wants parts of it to be of a patristic nature, disregarding its salvation of Hermetic traditions of old. Sometimes excessively generous translators and editors redacted the text, neglecting its precise and often amazing stylistic subtleties. The present translation instead follows - to the best of knowledge, and strictly verbally - even the most challenging and problematical passages, firmly obeying the refined grammatical rules of Latin and its classical abbreviatures, throughout this rich text. This book is pleasant to read - also because uncertain idioms are accompanied by the original term in Latin for comparison. The present new book thus satisfies the wish for a new, reliable translation, and therefore will fill a long regretted gap especially because in our modern time the messages of this venerable scripture of antique Mysteries are of renewed actuality for both researchers and seekers today. A plethora of linguistic, historical, cosmological and mythological facts at the end of the book will be welcomed especially by all lovers of original esoteric texts.

Download or read book Selected Poems written by Giuseppe Ungaretti and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-04 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new translation of one of Italy's greatest modern poets Giuseppe Ungaretti (1888-1970) was a pioneer of the Modernist movement in Italian poetry and is widely regarded as one of the leading Italian poets of the twentieth century. His verse is renowned and loved for its powerful insight and emotion, and its exquisite music. Yet, unlike many of his peers, Ungaretti has never been adequately presented to English readers. This large bilingual selection, translated with great sensitivity and fidelity by Andrew Frisardi, captures Ungaretti in all of his phases: from his early poems, written in the trenches of northern Italy during World War I, to the finely crafted erotic and religious poetry of his second period, to the visceral, elegiac poetry of the years following the death of his son and the occupation of Rome during World War II, to the love poems of the poet's old age. Frisardi's in-depth introduction details the world in which Ungaretti's work took shape and exerted its influence. In addition to the poet's own annotations, an autobiographical afterword, "Ungaretti on Ungaretti," further illuminates the poet's life and art. Here is a compelling, rewarding, and comprehensive version of the work of one of the greatest modern European poets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hermetica are a body of mystical texts written in late antiquity, but believed during the Renaissance (when they became well known) to be much older. Their supposed author, a mythical figure named Hermes Trismegistus, was thought to be a contemporary of Moses. The Hermetic philosophy was regarded as an ancient theology, parallel to the revealed wisdom of the Bible, supporting Biblical revelation and culminating in the Platonic philosophical tradition. This new translation is the only English version based on reliable texts, and Professor Copenhaver's introduction and notes make this accessible and up-to-date edition an indispensable resource to scholars.
