Book excerpt: IRDA EDIZIONI Questo libro di poesie l'ho scritto nel periodo della sua lunga malattia, ogni volta che andavo a trovarla le scrivevo una poesia. Non sono poesie, sono lettere d'amore di una figlia. Incon-sciamente, tracciavo su carta le sofferenze e le piccole gioie. La mamma era felice quando le recitavo, alcune le sapeva a memoria e le recitava insieme a me. Le ho promesso un libro tutto suo e questo desiderio vorrei esaudirlo. Adesso che è venuta a mancare, rileggo molte volte le poesie e mi sembra d'averla accanto mentre le recita insieme a me.

Download or read book The Reinvention of Theatre in Sixteenth century Europe written by T.F. Earle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixteenth century was an exciting period in the history of European theatre. In the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, France, Germany and England, writers and actors experimented with new dramatic techniques and found new publics. They prepared the way for the better-known dramatists of the next century but produced much work which is valuable in its own right, in Latin and in their own vernaculars. The popular theatre of the Middle Ages gave endless material for reinvention by playwrights, and the legacy of the ancient world became a spur to creativity, in tragedy and comedy. As soon as readers and audiences had taken in the new plays, they were changed again, taking new forms as the first experiments were themselves modified and reinvented. Writers constantly adapted the texts of plays to meet new requirements. These and other issues are explored by a group of international experts from a comparative perspective, giving particular emphasis to one of the great European comic dramatists, the Portuguese Gil Vicente. Tom Earle is King John II Professor of Portuguese at Oxford. Catarina Fouto is a Lecturer in Portuguese at King's College London.

Download or read book Afropean Female Selves written by Christopher Hogarth and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afropean Female Selves: Migration and Language in the Life Writing of Fatou Diome and Igiaba Scego examines the corpus of writing of two contemporary female authors. Both writers are of African descent, live in Europe and write about lives across Europe and Africa in different languages (French and Italian). Their work involves episodes from their lived experience and complicates Western understandings of life writing and autobiography. As Hogarth shows in this study, the works of Diome and Scego encapsulate the new and complex identities of contemporary "Afropeans." As an identity coined and used frequently by prominent authors and critics across Europe, Africa and North America, the notion of "Afropean" is at the cutting edge of cultural analyses today. Yet each writer occupies unique and different positions within this debated category. While Scego is a "post-migratory subject" in postcolonial Europe, Diome is an African writer who has migrated to Europe in her adult life. This book examines the different trajectories and packaging of these two specific postcolonial writers in the Francophone and Italophone contexts, pointing out how and where each author practices life writing strategies and scrutinizing the trend that emphasizes the life writing, autofictional, or autoethnographic strategies of African diasporic writers. Afropean Female Selves offers a comparative study across two languages of a notion that has so far been explored mainly in English. It explores the contours of this new discursive category and positions it in regard to other notions of Afrodiasporic identity, such as Afropolitan and Afro-European.

Download or read book Un giro di Jack written by Rita Murgia and published by AmicoLibro. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un giro di Jack” è una danza di onnipotenza che tutti noi abbiamo prima o poi ballato quando la vita era farcita di tematiche universitarie e primi passi nel mondo del lavoro, di primi rapporti stretti creati al di fuori della famiglia, di gioco, divertimento e di indipendenza, sensazioni di maturità sognate mentre dormi con un uomo per più di tre giorni di fila. C’è stato e ci sarà luogo e tempo per giri di vino rosso, ma il serenamente spregiudicato giro di Jack rappresenta il periodo delle prime e ultime volte che non si rivivranno mai più. I rapporti vissuti a 360 gradi, sia in positivo che in negativo, quelle anime che s’incontrano e in alcuni casi non si lasciano mai, quegli amori che hanno senso di esistere solo tra i venti e i trent’anni. Ecco di cosa parla questo libro.
Download or read book Music Printing in Renaissance Venice written by Jane A. Bernstein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-10-29 with total page 1200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venetian music print culture of the mid-sixteenth century is presented here through a study of the Scotto press, one of the foremost dynastic music publishers of the Renaissance. For over a century, the house of Scotto played a pivotal role in the international book trade, publishing in a variety of fields including philosophy, medicine, religion, and music. This book examines the mercantile activities of the firm through both a historical study, which illuminates the wide world of the Venetian music printing industry, and a catalog, which details the music editions brought out by the firm during its most productive period. A valuable reference work, this book not only enhances our understanding of the socioeconomic and cultural history of Renaissance Venice, it also helps to preserve our knowledge of a vast musical repertory.

Download or read book The Paris Letters of Thomas Eakins written by Thomas Eakins and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The young Thomas Eakins's most revealing letters—published here for the first time The most revealing and interesting writings of American artist Thomas Eakins are the letters he sent to family and friends while he was a student in Paris between 1866 and 1870. This book presents all these letters in their entirety for the first time; in fact, this is the first edition of Eakins's correspondence from the period. Edited and annotated by Eakins authority William Innes Homer, this book provides a treasure trove of new information, revealing previously hidden facets of Eakins's personality, providing a much richer picture of his artistic development, and casting fresh light on his debated psychosexual makeup. The book is illustrated with the small, gemlike drawings Eakins included in his correspondence, as well as photographs and paintings. In these letters, Eakins speaks openly and frankly about human relationships, male companionship, marriage, and women. In vivid, charming, and sometimes comic detail, he describes his impressions of Paris--from the training he received in the studio of Jean-Léon Gérôme to the museums, concerts, and popular entertainments that captured his imagination. And he discusses with great insight contemporary aesthetic and scientific theories, as well as such unexpected subjects as language structure, musical composition, and ice-skating technique. Also published here for the first time are the letters and notebook Eakins wrote in Spain following his Paris sojourn. This long-overdue volume provides an indispensable portrait of a great American artist as a young man.
Download or read book Extravagance and Three Other Plays written by Dacia Maraini and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection includes four theatrical works of acclaimed Italian author, Dacia Maraini, in a dual-language format (Italian/English). The works have been chosen around the themes of distress, exclusion, and various manifestations of tragedy with particular reference to women. The works were chosen within a modern and a historical reference in order to give breadth to the main themes. The individual works include: (a) Stravaganza/Extravagance. The unfolding drama alludes to the Legge Basaglia (the so-called Basaglia Law, 180/1978), whose prescriptions included the closure of insane asylums throughout Italy; (b) Camille. In this piece, Maraini offers a reinterpretation of the storied and controversial relationship between the sculptor, Auguste Rodin, and his young apprentice/assistant, Camille Claudel; (c) Storia di Isabella di Morra raccontata da Benedetto Croce/The Story of Isabella di Morra as Told by Benedetto Croce. In this play, the power of literature and the written word (the implicit, culpable “character” in this play) culminates in atrocious homicide; (d) I digiuni di Catarina da Siena/The Fasting of Catherine of Siena. Powerful relationships dominate this account of Saint Catherine’s profound religiosity.
