Yu's four-volume translation of "Hsi-yu Chi," one of the most beloved classics of Chinese literature.

Il Carnevale del a Napoli - di Laura Barletta
Il Carnevale del è rimasto ancora oggi nella memoria napoletana per la sua valenza contestatrice e come oggetto di studio per gli storici delle tradizioni popolari e dei fenomeni di massa. Accadde che una carestia a lungo temuta e non più occultabile esplose violentemente durante il periodo di Carnevale al punto di sconvolgere i ritmi delle usuali manifestazioni. Da qui la protesta del popolo civile e la preoccupazione delle classi dominanti. Nell'occasione ci fu una vasta fioritura di satire, finora inedite e che ritroviamo nella seconda parte di questo importante volume. Società Editrice Napoletana, ; pagine 175; formato 14 cm. x 22 cm.; in ottime condizioni. FUORI CATALOGO E PRESSOCHE' INTROVABILE.

The Cambridge Companion to Horace
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Harrison, Stephen, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Horace is a central author in Latin literature. His work spans a wide range of genres, from iambus to satire, and odes to literary epistle, and he is just as much at home writing about love and wine as he is about philosophy and literary criticism. He also became a key literary figure in the regime of the Emperor Augustus. In this volume a superb international cast of contributors present a stimulating and accessible assessment of the poet, his work, its themes and its reception. This provides the orientation and coverage needed by non-specialists and students, but also suggests fresh and provoking perspectives from which specialists may benefit. Since the last general book on Horace was published half a century ago, there has been a sea-change in perceptions of his work and in the literary analysis of classical literature in general, and this territory is fully charted in this Companion.
Ghost Lights
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Millet, Lydia, PUBLISHER: W. W. Norton & Company, Hal is a mild-mannered IRS bureaucrat who suspects that his wife is cheating with her younger, more virile coworker. At a drunken dinner party, Hal volunteers to fly to Belize in search of Susan's employer, T. the protagonist of Lydia Millet's much-lauded novel How the Dead Dream who has vanished in a tropical jungle, initiating a darkly humorous descent into strange and unpredictable terrain. Salon raved that Millet's "writing is always flawlessly beautiful, reaching for an experience that precedes language itself." In Ghost Lights, she combines her characteristic wit and a sharp eye for the weirdness that governs human (and nonhuman) interactions. With the scathing satire and tender honesty of Sam Lipsyte and a dark, quirky, absurdist style reminiscent of Joy Williams, Millet has created a comic, startling, and surprisingly philosophical story about idealism and disillusionment, home and not home, and the singular, heartbreaking devotion of parenthood.

Evolution of Bruno Littlemore
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hale, Benjamin, PUBLISHER: Atlantic, Bruno Littlemore is quite unlike any chimpanzee in the world. Precocious, self-conscious and preternaturally gifted, young Bruno, born and raised in a habitat at the local zoo, falls under the care of a university primatologist named Lydia Littlemore. Learning of Bruno's ability to speak, Lydia takes Bruno into her home to oversee his education and nurture his passion for painting. But for all of his gifts, the chimpanzee has a rough time caging his more primal urges. His untimely outbursts ultimately cost Lydia her job, and send the unlikely pair on the road in what proves to be one of the most unforgettable journeys -- and most affecting love stories -- in recent literature. Like its protagonist, this novel is big, loud, abrasive, witty, perverse, earnest and amazingly accomplished. The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore goes beyond satire by showing us not what it means, but what it feels like be human -- to love and lose, learn, aspire, grasp, and, in the end, to fail.

The White Boy Shuffle
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Beatty, Paul, PUBLISHER: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), Paul Beatty, on the basis of two slim collections of poetry, Big Bank Take Little Bank and Joker, Joker, Deuce, has been called "the premier bard of hip hop," "a West Coast word wizard," and"the poet laureate of Generation X." He has performed his poetry on college campuses throughout the United States and Europe; he's been lauded by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.; and at thirty-three years old, he has been deemed heir to Allen Ginsberg's oral tradition. His cultural landscape summons up music, sound bites, cartoons, films, and video games. He uses the terms of pop culture to reveal its nonsense, and in his astonishing first novel he brings his extraordinary talent for image, cadence, and rhythm to fiction. Beatty's partly autobiographical novel is a moving, deft satire on issues of race as well as a coming-of-age of a contemporary African American, Gunnar Kaufman, who is in no way typical. Unequivocally and without apology, Gunnar states that he is not the seventh son of a seventh son of a se

Gulliver's Travels
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Swift, Jonathan / Ambrus, Victor G. / Riordan, James, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Embark on a journey with one of the greatest world travelers of all time. Ride with him across the South Seas to the miniature island of Liliput, where people grow no taller than six inches high. Round the Cape of Good Hope to the land of Brobdingnag, home of giants tall as church steeples, and sail on to the exotic lands of Laputa, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrip, and more. Share Gulliver's incredible adventures, from his singlehanded defeat of an entire naval fleet (albeit one whose ships are toy boat-sized), to his harrowing abduction by a giant eagle, to his unfortunate dunking in a reservoir-sized pot of cream by a jealous dwarf These are the stories of Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift's classic tale of fantastic adventures in far-off lands, brilliantly retold by James Riordan in rich, vivid prose that captures all the whimsy and satire of the original in the modern language of today's children. The illustrations by noted artist Victor Ambrus are rich and colorful, delicate in detail, strong in composition, and permeated with humor. And the insightful--often scathing--social commentary that Swift wove into his original tale remains intact, providing fascinating reading for adults as well as children.
American Cinema of the s: Themes and Variations
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Friedman, Lester D., PUBLISHER: Rutgers University Press, A smug glance at the seventies-the so-called "Me Decade"-unveils a kaleidoscope of big hair, blaring music, and broken politics-all easy targets for satire, cynicism, and ultimately even nostalgia. American Cinema of the s, however, looks beyond the strobe lights to reveal how profoundly the seventies have influenced American life and how the films of that decade represent a peak moment in cinema history. Far from a placid era, the seventies was a decade of social upheavals. Events such as the killing of students at Kent State and Jackson State universities, the Watergate investigations, the legalization of abortion, and the end of the American involvement in Vietnam are only a few among the many landmark occurrences that challenged the foundations of American culture. The director-driven movies of this era reflect this turmoil, experimenting with narrative structures, offering a gallery of scruffy antiheroes, and revising traditional genre conventions. Bringing together ten original essays, American Cinema of the s examines the range of films that marked the decade, including Jaws, Rocky, Love Story, Shaft, Dirty Harry, The Godfather, Deliverance, The Exorcist, Shampoo, Taxi Driver, Star Wars, Saturday Night Fever, Kramer vs. Kramer, and Apocalypse Now. Lester D. Friedman is the Senior Scholar-in-Residence in the Media and Society Program at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and the author of numerous books on film.

A Nice and Quiet Place
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brett, Christina, PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, The Bradleys moved to the suburbs because with a new baby in the household it was time to leave the Big Bad City and settle in the suburbs just like any other red-blooded American tired of the hassle. What they didn't count on was the fact that suburbia isn't always the nice and quiet place they had envisioned. Instead they found murder and mayhem in the midst of coffee clubs, lawns to be mowed and the squeezing of cantaloupes on shopping day. Melisa Bradley, new mother extraordinaire, feels trapped in their gorgeous new abode and when one of their neighbors is murdered she feels that her calling as sleuth-du-jour is screaming to get out. The nice and quiet place is not as nice and quiet as they thought it would be. Everybody seems to have something to keep mum, and Melissa knows that she is finding too many flaws in regular people that she encounters every day while walking baby Gemma or sitting under her apple tree. She starts to ask questions and to put two and two together until she comes up with the answer. She and her friend Liza find ways to talk the handsome Lieutenant in charge of the case into following their clues until the killer is finally caught and brought to justice. "A Nice and Quiet Place" is a fast-paced story set in Long Island, filled with one-liners and two lovable friends who feel they were cheated when they were moved from the city to Jay Gatsby's playground. A clever satire of suburbia neatly wrapped around a mystery, it is very entertaining and will keep you chuckling until the last page.

Kirst La rivolta del caporale Asch Garzanti
Hans Hellmut Kirst La rivolta del caporale Asch Garzanti Per tutti Romanzi e Realtà Traduzione: Mario Merlini Introduzione: - Anno: 22 maggio XI edizione Pagine: 312 Codice ISBN: - Copertina: cartoncino editoriale illustrato. Stato: Buono stato. Peso del libro: gr. 205 Misure del libro: cm x cm La fotografia riproduce il libro. NOTA: Richiedete il catalogo per usufruire della promozione. Contenuto: Romanzo di guerra, di caserma, come lo stesso autore lo ha definito, ma soprattutto romanzo contro la guerra. . La rivolta del caporale Asch è una delle satire antimilitariste più affilate del Novecento. Nel gruppo di personaggi che animano la narrazione si stagliano le figure di due soldati, differenti tra loro ma accomunati dallâ€(TM)incompatibilità rispetto alle regole della vita militare: il giovane artigliere Johann Vierbein, recluta ingenua e sprovveduta, perfetto capro espiatorio sempre oggetto delle angherie dei superiori, e il caporale Herbert Asch, vero centro morale del romanzo, uomo libero, donchisciottesco nel proprio idealismo con cui intende distruggere lâ€(TM)inumano sistema dellâ€(TM)esercito tedesco chiuso nellâ€(TM)abbraccio mortale tra ottusa efficienza prussiana e barbara brutalità nazista. Asch è destinato allâ€(TM)insuccesso, poiché il potere farà quadrato neutralizzando ogni tentativo di ribellione, ma il giovane caporale almeno un risultato lo otterrà: coprire di ridicolo lâ€(TM)intero sistema. Autore: Hans Hellmut Kirst (Ostróda, 5 dicembre â€" Werdum, 13 febbraio ) è stato uno scrittore tedesco. Era un veterano della seconda guerra mondiale, e scrisse vari romanzi di argomento satirico e umoristico, soprattutto di argomento militare. Uno dei suoi libri più famosi è La notte dei generali, da cui è stato anche tratto un film dallo stesso titolo con Peter Oâ€(TM)Toole e Omar Sharif. Molto successo ha avuto anche la serie di romanzi sulla figura del Caporale Asch, raccolti nella trilogia : La rivolta del Caporale Asch, La strana guerra del sottufficiale Asch e La vittoria finale del Tenente Asch; un quarto romanzo ha titolo Oggi. Prezzo: euro 1,00 + spese di spedizione (euro 2,00 piego di libri ordinario, euro 5,00 raccomandata piego di libri).
