Vengeance of the Victim
Vengeance of the Victim was first published in 1986. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. More profoundly than any documentary record, the collected fiction of Giorgio Bassani—Il Romanzo di Ferrara — captures a very particular and powerful historical reality: Italian Jewish life under Fascism, especially between the passage of the so-called racial laws in 1938 and the end of World War II. Set primarily in the provincial city of Ferrara, Bassani's narratives interweave themes of death, victimization, betrayal, survival, and artistic prod...

Daisy-Mae has just arrived in the United States after living overseas. She plans to attend Columbia University to pursue her Masters in Early Childhood Education.

Daisy-Mae is stunned when she notices him in her cousin's living room, and their attraction is irresistible.
News at Work
Peeking inside the newsrooms where journalists create stories and the work settings where the public reads them, the author reveals why journalists contribute to the growing similarity of news and why consumers acquiesce to a media system they find increasingly dissatisfying.
Antico e contemporaneo
Il libro raccoglie contributi di studiosi ed esperti, provenienti da diversi ambiti disciplinari, e di artisti visivi attorno al tema dei rapporti fra cultura contemporanea (letteratura, teatro e arti visive) e archeologia, declinando l’idea di “classico” non più come valore da contrapporre alla fluidità del presente, ma piuttosto come re-perto e sito archeologico di cui si accetta e si enfatizza l’incom-piutezza e la decadenza anche materiale, facendone spazio di rappresentazione ed elemento significativo degli scenari narrativi. Si tratta di un concetto di antico non fissato in un altrove ideale e senza tempo, ma re-interpretato alla luce dell’oggi, e sul quale proiettare i grandi temi con cui il presente fa i conti: la multicultu-ralità e le identità nazionali, la memoria conflittuale del secolo bre-ve, la ricerca di modelli di sviluppo economico più rispettosi degli equilibri del paesaggio. Un confronto di rinnovata attualità, non solo a Roma, ma in tutta Europa dove musei e associazioni per la salvaguardia del patrimonio ricorrono sempre più spesso all’arte contemporanea come strumento di mediazione.
Topografien des 20. Jahrhunderts
The polyphonic world poem Galáxias (1984) by Brazilian poet Haroldo de Campos has, to date, mainly been discussed in the broader context of concrete poetry and the Latin American neo-baroque. In this book, Jasmin Wrobel offers a completely new reading of the work as a poetic testimony to a century of catastrophes: references to traumatic historical events are embedded as ‘stumbling blocks’ in the textual architecture, guiding the reader towards a ‘Poetics of Stumbling’.
The Document Within the Walls
Giorgio Bassani is an Italian-Jewish writer from Ferrara, famous largely for 'The Garden of the Finzi-Contini', 'The Golden-Rimmed Eye Glasses' and other novels, brought together in 'Il Romanzo di Ferrara' (1980). In this monumental work, Bassani describes the life of the Italian Jews under Fascism. Bassani may be seen as not just a fictional writer, but as a witness of persecution of Jews under Fascism; his 'Romance' is not so much a novel but a multifaceted document on Jewish life in the peninsular. This volume takes into account a close reading of Bassani, literary theories on witnessing the Shoa, and the historical debate on Italian discriminatory politics. The book is thus both literary criticism and an analysis of anti- Semitism and Jewish assimilation in Italy.
Contos
-Viver é um desafio invariável. Às vezes as ilusões ofuscam nossa lucidez deturpando as situações. Alguns acontecimentos tentam nos confundir entre o real e o irreal. Porém com sabedoria nos colocamos diante da eterna chama da verdade que ofusca nossas ilusões nos forçando a distinguir o falso do verdadeiro. No decorrer do tempo levarei vocês, leitores a percorrerem trajetos que os levam a entrar nesse espaço mágico, onde os colocarei frente a frente com o mundo do terror, suspense, amor, drama, cotidiano, espiritual e etc. A partir de agora, sua sanidade estará em revés. A mente interruptamente se perguntando. “O que é real”? “O que é fantasia”? Se acharem que estão prontos, entrem nesse mundo e viajem. Boa Sorte!
The Novel of Ferrara
Bassani's six classic books, collected for the first time in English as the epic masterwork they were intended to be. Set in the northern Italian town of Ferrara before, during, and after the Second World War, The Novel of Ferrara brings together Bassani's six classic books, fully revised as a single volume by the author at the end of his life: Within the Walls, The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles, The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, Behind the Door, The Heron and The Smell of Hay. These interlocking stories present a fully rounded world of unforgettable characters, memorializing not only the Ferrarese people, but the city itself, which assumes a character and a voice deeply inflected by the Jewish community to which the narrator belongs. 'Exquisite . . . from his boyhood Ferrara and the families he knew, Bassani has carved out a corner of Italy that rises above regionalism with fiction that can stand alongside the most lingering written in Europe to day' The New York Times
