Download or read book Dialogues written by Giovanni Gioviano Pontano and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giovanni Pontano (1426–1503), whose academic name was Gioviano, was the most important Latin poet of the fifteenth century as well as a leading statesman who served as prime minister to the Aragonese kings of Naples. His Dialogues are our best source for the humanist academy of Naples which Pontano led for several decades. They provide a vivid picture of literary life in the capital of the Aragonese seaborne empire, based in southern Italy and the Western Mediterranean. This first volume contains the two earliest of Pontano’s five dialogues. Charon, set in the underworld of classical mythology, illustrates humanist attitudes to a wide range of topics, satirizing the follies and superstitions of humanity. Antonius, a Menippean satire named for the founder of the Neapolitan Academy, Antonio Beccadelli, is set in the Portico Antoniano in downtown Naples, where the academicians commemorate and emulate their recently-deceased leader, conversing on favorite topics and stopping from time to time to interrogate passersby. This volume contains a freshly-edited Latin text of these dialogues and the first translation of them into English.

Download or read book Starting from Scratch written by Andrea Marcolongo and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an “inimitable voice combined with flawless erudition,” this new analysis of the Aeneid “illuminates its subject with a modern light” (Le Monde). From the bestselling author of The Ingenious Language comes a meditation on rebuilding, recovery, and renewal that is also a fascinating portrait of antiquity’s most complex and surprisingly modern hero. In times of peace and prosperity, one can turn to Homer to learn valuable life lessons, to experience the thrills and terrors of war, and to read about hair-raising adventures in distant lands. But when things do not go as planned, when we unexpectedly find ourselves at the center of an epoch-defining upheaval, then, writes Andrea Marcolongo, we must look to Virgil’s Aeneas for an example of adaptability and resilience. In Marcolongo’s fresh, nuanced portrayal, Virgil’s Aeneas emerges as a multiform, deeply human hero, striking in his vulnerability and capacity for empathy. His journey of rebirth and rebuilding, from the ruins of Troy to the shores of Italy, teaches us that when all seems lost, with hope, perseverance, and a little bit of luck, we can seek and find new beginnings. “Marcolongo is today’s Montaigne . . . There is wisdom and grace here to last the ages.” —André Aciman, New York Times–bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name, now a major motion picture “A deep look at our all-too-human fragility . . . An impassioned and enthralling book.” —Bon Culture (Italy) “Through her personal reacquaintance with [the Aeneid] at a time of great distress, Andrea Marcolongo has brought it, as it were, back into the conversation and outside the confines of academia . . . An excellent translation by Will Schutt brilliantly serves Andrea Marcolongo’s passionate endorsement of a work of literature written two millennia ago.” —Reading in Translation “Andrea Marcolongo has brought us a book from the future.” —La Stampa (Italy)
