Download or read book Sacrificial Nights written by Bruce Boston and published by Kipple Officina Libraria. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bram Stoker Award Winners Bruce Boston and Alessandro Manzetti combine their poetic and narrative talents in a poetry novella that blends the genres of horror, surrealism, crime, and noir. Set in a large America city, Sacrificial Nights follows the lives of some of those who inhabit its late-night streets: prostitutes, pimps, a thief, an arsonist, a police detective, a psychotic killer, and more. Their tales and the tale of the city itself are richly complemented by British artist Ben Baldwin’s striking illustrations. This is a dark read with some explicit graphic content. “Original, intelligent and exquisitely rendered, Sacrificial Nights is an absolute tour de force, a richly layered Chinese Box of sorts, where each part is as important as the whole. In a world of cookie-cutter plots and tired poetry, Sacrificial Nights is a shot of cool night air, shadowy, dangerous, and addictive as sin.” —Greg F. Gifune, author of The Bleeding Season "When a book is both lucid and hallucinogenic, the effect can be shocking, luminous … transgressive. The collision of talents in this extraordinary work practically establishes a new genre – macabre noir." —Robert Dunbar, author of Willy “Populated by denizens who straddle the line between salvation and damnation, Sacrificial Nightsreads like a flashlight exploration of the darkness lurking behind closed doors and down blind alleys. Boston and Manzetti deftly navigate the shadows where human monsters dwell.” —Michael McBride, author of Subterrestrial

Book excerpt: Storie di esistenza, fantastiche e reali, impegni presi con la vita, quando il tempo scorre nel suo percorso e non lascia che briciole e semi da far crescere.Si notano in queste storie, sogni e fantasie e ricordi lontani e i desideri, quelli veri e pensati.Saranno anche i vostri?Chiudete gli occhi e fateli scorrere addosso a voi.Ora è tempo di vivere e questi sono pezzi di vita, quando il tempo lo permette e vi fa sentire vivi.È il tempo del ricordo e del tempo che fugge, dell'età che non si ferma e delle problematiche correnti legate all'età e alla situazione. Questi eventi fanno parte dell'esistenza e del vivere. Ci sono tanti momenti considerati, altri solo vagheggiati.Quei sottili tentacoli che giungono a far fronte alle questioni che cercano di far naufragare la vita e tutta l'esistenza.

Download or read book Painting with Words Writing with Pictures written by Franco Ricci and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ricci's book ranges widely over Calvino's oeuvre to illustrate the accuracy of the idea articulated by Calvino himself that a visual image lies at the origin of all his narrative. The book's main theme is the difficult interface between word and image that Calvino struggled with throughout his career, the act of perception that rendered visible that which was invisible and transformed what was seen into what is read. Ricci holds that Calvino's narrative has an 'imagocentric' program and that his literary strategy is 'ekphrastic' i.e. it is characterized by literary description of visual representation, real or imaginary. The book is interdisciplinary in nature and will interest not only scholars of literature but also those who work with the visual arts and with information technology.

Download or read book Italo Calvino written by Italo Calvino and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-04 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first collection of letters in English by one of the great writers of the twentieth century This is the first collection in English of the extraordinary letters of one of the great writers of the twentieth century. Italy's most important postwar novelist, Italo Calvino (1923-1985) achieved worldwide fame with such books as Cosmicomics, Invisible Cities, and If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler. But he was also an influential literary critic, an important literary editor, and a masterful letter writer whose correspondents included Umberto Eco, Primo Levi, Gore Vidal, Leonardo Sciascia, Natalia Ginzburg, Michelangelo Antonioni, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Luciano Berio. This book includes a generous selection of about 650 letters, written between World War II and the end of Calvino’s life. Selected and introduced by Michael Wood, the letters are expertly rendered into English and annotated by well-known Calvino translator Martin McLaughlin. The letters are filled with insights about Calvino’s writing and that of others; about Italian, American, English, and French literature; about literary criticism and literature in general; and about culture and politics. The book also provides a kind of autobiography, documenting Calvino’s Communism and his resignation from the party in 1957, his eye-opening trip to the United States in 1959-60, his move to Paris (where he lived from 1967 to 1980), and his trip to his birthplace in Cuba (where he met Che Guevara). Some lengthy letters amount almost to critical essays, while one is an appropriately brief defense of brevity, and there is an even shorter, reassuring note to his parents written on a scrap of paper while he and his brother were in hiding during the antifascist Resistance. This is a book that will fascinate and delight Calvino fans and anyone else interested in a remarkable portrait of a great writer at work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'autrice nasce in Germania, dove vive un'infanzia felice, ma dopo la separazione dei genitori viene costretta a trasferirsi in Sicilia con la madre. Per fare chiarezza, sopratutto a se stessa, sui rapporti uomo-donna dal punto di vista psicologico, mette insieme una serie di interviste a donne single, uomini single, coppie, donne sposate, uomini sposati, amanti, nonche lunghe istruttive chiacchierate tra donne, spietate nella descrizione delle loro quanto mai pittoresche esperienze sessuali. Tutto in chiave ironica e dissacrante. Quello che ne risulta e la constatazione che "" l'uomo ideale"" esiste, ma che spesso ci si accontenta di quello che capita, e che non sono i maschi quelli da combattere ma il maschilismo."
