Download or read book Guida alle streghe in Italia written by Andrea Romanazzi and published by Venexia Editrice. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un viaggio tra i borghi, le valli e le foreste incantate che hanno ospitato i raduni delle streghe. Questi vengono rievocati insieme alla caccia alle streghe, che fece dell'herbara un'entità malefica legata al demonio, e all'eredità pagana, i cui simboli resistettero all'avvento del cristianesimo e ai tentativi dell'Inquisizione di cancellarli. Regione per regione, l'autore narra le leggende e le tradizioni che fecero di queste zone la dimora preferita di maghe e fattucchiere e offre al lettore, grazie a mappe, indirizzi e consigli pratici, gli strumenti per organizzare veri e propri itinerari magici tra i sentieri di campagna e gli anfratti nascosti del territorio italiano, in cui guaritrici e sciamane raccoglievano le erbe medicamentose e officiavano i sacri riti in onore dei loro dèi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Per qualche istante si senti inghiottita dal fondo. Avvertiva solo il rumore del vento che ruggiva attraverso i fitti rami e che si attorcigliava fra i capelli. Correva lungo un viottolo ben battuto e senza aiuole, l'inverno era passato da poco perche l'aria che le sbatteva in faccia era tiepida e gradevole, e il cupo verso dei gufi le dava il senso della notte. Improvvisamente si alzo una fitta nebbia che le copri i passi dilatandosi ai lati in piccole spire. Jess si volto piena d'ansia, il cuore le martellava nelle orecchie e nel petto, e per un momento ebbe la percezione che la nausea la stesse per sopraffare. Pur di sentirsi al sicuro avrebbe gettato via tutto, anche quella belva furiosa che le stava dilaniando l'anima a forza di morsi. Si era persa nell'oblio. In un baratro che non le dava scampo. Era imprigionata nella sua parte oscura.

Incamminatosi sulle orme di una differente medicina, il protagonista si ritrova calato intanto in una forte esperienza trasformante. Ma il sopraggiungere di nuove intuizioni dal sapore rivoluzionario, lo indurrà ora a ribaltare la antica concezione della fede in qualcosa di nuovo e di scientifico, fino a consegnare al mondo un nuovo modello della guarigione, fondato sulla mente. Una folta schiera di seguaci si calamiterà poi ittorno alla sua persona, ma giusto il tradimento da parte dei più intimi lascerà incompiuto il sogno di una comunità. Walter sarà gratificato alla fine dalla nascita di un nuovo amore, mentre le porte del cosmo gli si apriranno davanti all'improvviso, in un avvincente ed inatteso incontro con le stelle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Paterno was seven when he left Castelmezzano, a small mountain town in Basilicata to set sail on one of the rattletrap ships headed to America. Thirty years later he was one of the top builders in New York City, among the first to construct the skyscrapers that would form the world's most famous skyline. Intelligence, brilliance, intuition and an ability to stay ahed of the times made him a leading figure in the life of Manhattan. He created garden communities, focused on new technologies and turned to the best architects. Paterno didn't just want to offer houses, but new lifestyles to tens of thousands of people. His first American dream looked like a white castle at the northernmost tip of Manhattan, where he lived for years with his wife and son, sorrounded by a small but very loyal retinue. A friend of Giuseppe Prezzolini, he donated a library of 20.000 books, the Paterno Library, to the Casa Italiana at Columbia University. Fiorello La Guardia, the Italian-American mayor of New York City, called him a genius. Born into poverty, Paterno died a wealthy man on the green of the most exclusive country club in Westchester.

Book excerpt: A portrait of the sun-drenched volcanic city from an American who has lost his heart to the place and to a beguiling Neapolitan woman. In Falling Palace Dan Hofstadter brilliantly reveals Naples, from the dilapidated architectural beauty to the irrepressible theater of everyday life. We witness the centuries-old festivals that regularly crowd the city’s jumbled streets, and eavesdrop on conversations that continue deep into the night. We browse the countless curio shops where treasures mingle with kitsch, and meet the locals he befriends. In and out of these encounters slips Benedetta, the object of the author’s affections, at once inviting and unfathomable. Weaving the tale of an elusive love together with a vivid portrayal of a legendary metropolis, this is a startling evocation of a magical place.
