Sotto i lampi e la luna

Fred Uhlman ed. Cde Sulla scia di Robinson Crusoe Fred Uhlman ha scelto il microcosmo dell’isola dopo il naugrafio come scenario ideale per una riflessione sui rapporti umani. Di più, in queste pagine nitide e intense, lo scrittore ebreo ha voluto adombrare i tremendi meccanismi nella vita dei lager. In un racconto avvincente il lettore seguirà la parabola di van Thal (un laico incapace di abbandonarsi alla fede in Dio, ma convinto assertore dei valori della civiltà e della ragione) fino a una desolata rassegnazione. E vedrà disegnarsi il destino della giovane Ruth, alla quale, con cauta speranza, l’autore affida il compito di testimoniare un’umanità fiduciosa, che non si arrende. spedizione non tracciata euro 1,90 tracciata euro 4,90 copertina rigida con sovracopertina - pagg. 110

Fairy Tales and Society: Illusion, Allusion, and Paradigm

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bottigheimer, Ruth B., PUBLISHER: University of Pennsylvania Press, This collection of exemplary essays by internationally recognized scholars examines the fairy tale from historical, folkloristic, literary, and psychoanalytical points of view. For generations of children and adults, fairy tales have encapsulated social values, often through the use of fixed characters and situations, to a far greater extent than any other oral or literary form. In many societies, fairy tales function as a paradigm both for understanding society and for developing individual behavior and personality.A few of the topics covered in this volume: oral narration in contemporary society; madness and cure in the " Nights"; the female voice in folklore and fairy tale; change in narrative form; tests, tasks, and trials in the Grimms' fairy tales; and folklorists as agents of nationalism. The subject of methodology is discussed by Torborg Lundell, Stven Swann Jones, Hans-Jorg Uther, and Anna Tavis.

East Meets West in Dance: Voices in the Cross-Cultural

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Solomon, John / Solomon, Ruth, PUBLISHER: Routledge, "East Meets West in Dance" chronicles this development in the words of many of its best known and most active exponents. This collection of articles provides a theoretical discussion of the promises and pitfalls inherent in transplanting art forms from one culture to another; it offers practical guidance for those who might want to participate in this enterprise and explains the general history of the dance exchange to date. It also identifies the differences that are unique to specific cultures, such as the development of theatrical forms, arts education, and the status of artists. This is a first examination of a phenomenon that has already touched most people in the arts community worldwide, and that none can afford to ignore. A lively dialogue has evolved over the last few decades between dance professionals -- performers, teachers and administrators -- in the United States and Europe and their counterparts in Asia and the Pacific rim.

Thinketh: As a Man Thinketh

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Allen, James / Johnson, Vic / Rimm, Ruth, PUBLISHER: Global Renaissance Society, The timeless classic "As" "a Man Thinketh" is presented against a visually dynamic backdrop of thought-provoking designs simulating modern-day Web browsers, pop-up windows, and video feeds. Combining traditional art and imagery with contemporary, cartoon-like iconography to identify various attitudes, moods, and circumstances this meditation expounds upon the basic premise that a person's thoughts not only influence but actually determine their situation. Through this book's reflections on thought as it relates to character and the effect of thought on circumstances, health and body, purpose, achievement, visions and ideals, and the achievement of serenity, readers can develop an understanding of the relevance of these musings on the human condition and the path to personal development. Further enhancing the presentation, the afterword explores the usage of marginalia in both this account as well as in texts from the Middle Ages to signal nuances and alternate interpretations.

Centurion

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Alford, L. D., PUBLISHER: Oaktara, Hauntingly compelling, Centurion gives life to Abenadar, the man who was entrusted with the controversial and potentially explosive crucifixion of Christ. A longing heart. An unlikely friendship. Love...and the bitterest of betrayals. The son of a Galilean concubine-a Jewess-and a Roman ambassador, Abenadar suffered disapproving stares in the village of Natzeret, but so did the boy Yeshua, son of Yosef and Miryam. Perhaps it wasn't unusual the two became fast friends. As Abenadar rises through the ranks of the Roman Legion to assume the rank of Centurion, he finds love with Ruth, a woman he rescues from the streets of Jerusalem. She believes the prophet Jesus is the One-the Messiah-everyone has been waiting for. Abenadar is dubious. He's seen too many messiahs.and they all died on Roman crosses. But what if Jesus is telling the truth? As advisor to Procurator Pontius Pilate and a Roman, Abenadar has a duty to uphold...but it may cause him to lose everything.

Eighteenth-Century Literary History: An"mlq" Reader

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brown / Brown, Marshall / Marshall Brown, PUBLISHER: Duke University Press, Viewed as a crucible of modernity, the eighteenth century has become a special focus of "Modern Language Quarterly," a journal that has led the revival of literary history as a subject for empirical study and theoretical reflection. The essays in this volume, which cover a broad cross-section of eighteenth-century literary history, represent the best studies of this period recently published in "MLQ." While examining different parts of the century, as well as different aspects and countries, contributors explore the intersection of literary studies with history, philosophy, psychology, and the visual arts. They discuss a creative range of topics, including feminism, nationalism, domestic ideology, the classical novel-drama-lyric poetry triad, and both aesthetic and philosophical writings. This span of subjects and approaches extends the focus of "Eighteenth-Century Literary History" beyond its period to project a spirit of inquiry onto literary history in general. "Contributors." Nancy Armstrong, Marshall Brown, Sanford Budick, Catherine Gallagher, Thomas M. Kavanagh, Jon Klancher, Jill Kowalik, Jonathan Brody Kramnick, Christie McDonald, Jerome McGann, Ruth Perry, Michael B.

Daniel Evan Weiss-Gli scarafaggi non hanno re

Da Feltrinelli: A popolare felicemente il pavimento della casa di Ira Fishblatt è una banda di strani scarafaggi filosofi: Bismarck, Rosa Luxemburg, Goethe, Spic&Span, Ajax, Numeri, Ivory... Conducono una piacevole convivenza con Ira, un giovane pigro, disattento e disordinato, che non si cura delle blatte e anzi distribuisce loro una gran quantità di cibo. Peccato che la nuova fidanzata, Ruth Grubstein, si trasferisca, armi e bagagli, a casa sua, portando con sé la mania delle pulizie. Stanati, affamati, perseguitati, i poveri scarafaggi, sembrano soccombere quando uno di loro, Numeri, il geniale narratore, della storia, propone un piano diabolico... E' così che prendono forma le gesta del "popolo" degli scarafaggi, la guerriglia, le battaglie in campo aperto, gli amori, i sogni, le lacrime e il furore di una comunità condannata all'estinzione. Comico e drammatico insieme, certamente paradossale e grottesco, questo grande romanzo, che Daniel Pennac ha definito "formidabile", è stato un grande successo in Francia.

The Ballad of Billy and George: The Tempestuous Baseball

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pepe, Phil, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, They were compared to Mutt and Jeff, Hatfield and McCoy, even Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton: two stubborn and driven men whose on-again off-again partnership entertained the nation for two decades. When Yankees owner George Steinbrenner first hired former player Billy Martin to manage his famous American League franchise, they won the pennant and the World Series. But Martin was a scrappy, defiant son to Steinbrenner's role as fickle father. Feuds erupted and separations ensued when each accused the other of disrespect, and the dysfunctional house that Ruth built was frequently rocked by public arguments and name calling. Five times Steinbrenner hired Martin, and five times he fired him. This is a wonderful, blow-by-blow history of their combustible chemistry, drawn from interviews with Billy Martin Jr., Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, Ron Guidry, Sparky Lyle, Goose Gossage, Bucky Dent, Clete Boyer, Graig Nettles, Lou Piniella, Clyde King, and Gene Michael. Black and white photos enhance the drama, presented by a veteran sportswriter who covered the Yankees every day and whose previous books have been national bestsellers.
