Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il giovane primo ufficiale di una nave a vapore, in servizio nei mari orientali, improvvisamente si licenzia, spinto da nessun altro motivo se non il tedio esistenziale. L’opportunità di una svolta gli si presenta quando viene a sapere che un veliero cerca un nuovo capitano. Il giovane coglie subito l’occasione ma, non appena prende il largo, si ritrova bloccato dalla bonaccia, con un equipaggio stremato da una malattia contratta a terra. Ora dovrà dare prova di tutte le sue capacità, conoscendo finalmente se stesso, e dovrà attraversare la linea d’ombra che demarca il confine fra il ragazzo che era e l’uomo che sarà.
Download or read book The Reception of Joseph Conrad in Europe written by Robert Hampson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born and brought up in Poland bilingually in French and Polish but living for most of his professional life in England and writing in English, Joseph Conrad was, from the start, as much a European writer as he was a British one and his work – from his earliest fictions through Heart of Darkness, Nostromo and The Secret Agent to his later novels– has repeatedly been the focal point of discussions about key issues of the modern age. With chapters written by leading international scholars, this book provides a wide-ranging survey of the reception, translation and publication history of Conrad's works across Europe. Covering reviews and critical discussion, and with some attention to adaptations in other media, these chapters situate Conrad's works in their social and political context. The book also includes bibliographies of key translations in each of the European countries covered and a timeline of Conrad's reception throughout the continent.
Download or read book Metodo Simoncini written by Antonio Cavedoni and published by Ronzani Editore. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalogo/monografia bilingue (ita / en). Questo catalogo costituisce la prima monografia organica su Francesco Simoncini, ricostruita attraverso il materiale iconografico e documentario – in gran parte inedito – esposto nella omonima mostra di Bologna. Un libro che ripercorre le innovazioni e i traguardi raggiunti da questo singolare personaggio del Novecento italiano. Imprenditore dalle idee innovative e progettista autodidatta di caratteri per la stampa, Simoncini ha testimoniato come pochi altri il valore di un approccio globale al progetto, dove estetica e funzionalità, umanità e ricerca sono tutti elementi equivalenti e indispensabili. Nel progettare i propri caratteri, Simoncini si è sempre posto come obiettivi essenziali la chiarezza e la leggibilità. Questa attenzione, unita alle capacità imprenditoriali e alla diffusione della tecnologia Linotype, fece sì che a partire dagli anni Cinquanta i suoi caratteri ebbero largo impiego in ogni ambito della stampa in Italia: dal Delia, progettato per gli elenchi telefonici, al Garamond Simoncini, impiegato dalle edizioni Einaudi a partire dal 1960, e divenuto il carattere più emblematico e rappresentativo dell’editoria italiana del dopoguerra. E ancora oggi alcuni dei suoi caratteri, anche se creati per una tecnologia ormai obsoleta, sono noti e apprezzati in tutto il mondo. Anche come imprenditore Simoncini si distinse per le sue iniziative originali, sempre attente a valorizzare il contributo dei collaboratori e dei dipendenti. Alla fine della guerra, era riuscito a trasformare la piccola officina paterna di riparazioni per Linotype in una grande industria internazionale per la progettazione e produzione di caratteri. La sua attenzione si estese anche al di fuori dell’azienda assumendo ruoli di rilievo in associazioni di settore e impegnandosi nella formazione dei giovani tecnici e nella standardizzazione della tecnologia. Il catalogo è arricchito dai contributi di Antonio Cavedoni, disegnatore di caratteri, e Elisa Rebellato, studiosa di storia dell’editoria. I loro saggi ripercorrono sia la vicenda biografica e imprenditoriale di Francesco Simoncini che l’analisi dei principali caratteri prodotti dalle Officine Simoncini. Una mostra di Griffo, la grande festa delle lettere, sul contributo di Francesco Simoncini (1912-1975) come imprenditore e type designer, curata da Antonio Cavedoni ed Elisa Rebellato. Traduzione di Johanna Bishop. Grafica: Dina&Solomon. Ebook a layout fisso: se ne consiglia la lettura su uno schermo ampio.
