Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il narratore giunge nell'antica dimora del suo amico d'infanzia Roderick Usher, dopo aver ricevuto una lettera in cui questi gli comunica d'essere ammalato e di volerlo accanto a sé. La malattia di Roderick si manifesta con iperacuità dei sensi e grande ansia. Quando si accorge che anche Lady Madeline, sorella gemella di Roderick, è ammalata e si aggira nella villa in preda a stati di trance catalettica, il disagio del narratore aumenta. Egli ha la strana sensazione che la casa sia viva, malvagiamente viva... Pubblicato per la prima volta nel settembre 1839 nel Burton's Gentleman's Magazine e destinato a essere inserito nella raccolta Racconti del grottesco e dell'arabesco, "La caduta della casa degli Usher" è considerato uno dei racconti più famosi di Edgar Allan Poe. Con quest'opera Poe ci lascia in eredità un capolavoro immortale, un vero repertorio dei suoi stessi terrori, mostrando però anche il filo sottile che separa la realtà dalla follia
Download or read book Abolitionism and the Persistence of Slavery in Italian States 1750 1850 written by Giulia Bonazza and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a pioneering study of slavery in the Italian states. Documenting previously unstudied cases of slavery in six Italian cities—Naples, Caserta, Rome, Palermo, Livorno and Genoa—Giulia Bonazza investigates why slavery survived into the middle of the nineteenth century, even as the abolitionist debate raged internationally and most states had abolished it. She contextualizes these cases of residual slavery from 1750–1850, focusing on two juridical and political watersheds: after the Napoleonic period, when the Italian states (with the exception of the Papal States) adopted constitutions outlawing slavery; and after the Congress of Vienna, when diplomatic relations between the Italian states, France and Great Britain intensified and slavery was condemned in terms that covered only the Atlantic slave trade. By excavating the lives of men and women who remained in slavery after abolition, this book sheds new light on the broader Mediterranean and transatlantic dimensions of slavery in the Italian states.

Download or read book The Familiarity of Strangers written by Francesca Trivellato and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a new approach to the study of cross-cultural trade, this book blends archival research with historical narrative and economic analysis to understand how the Sephardic Jews of Livorno, Tuscany, traded in regions near and far in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Francesca Trivellato tests assumptions about ethnic and religious trading diasporas and networks of exchange and trust. Her extensive research in international archives--including a vast cache of merchants' letters written between 1704 and 1746--reveals a more nuanced view of the business relations between Jews and non-Jews across the Mediterranean, Atlantic Europe, and the Indian Ocean than ever before. The book argues that cross-cultural trade was predicated on and generated familiarity among strangers, but could coexist easily with religious prejudice. It analyzes instances in which business cooperation among coreligionists and between strangers relied on language, customary norms, and social networks more than the progressive rise of state and legal institutions.

Download or read book Lepanto and Beyond written by Laura Stagno and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interdisciplinary approach to the Iberian and Italian perceptions and representations of the Battle of Lepanto and the Muslim “other” The Battle of Lepanto, celebrated as the greatest triumph of Christianity over its Ottoman enemy, was soon transformed into a powerful myth through a vast media campaign. The varied storytelling and the many visual representations that contributed to shape the perception of the battle in Christian Europe are the focus of this book. In broader terms, Lepanto and Beyond also sheds light on the construction of religious alterity in the early modern Mediterranean. It presents cross-disciplinary case studies that explore the figure of the Muslim captive in historical documentation, artistic depictions, and literature. With a focus on the Republic of Genoa, the authors also aim to balance the historical scale and restore the important role of the Genoese in the general scholarly discussion of Lepanto and its images.
