Region, State and Identity in Central and Eastern Europe
The papers that comprise this collection examine the role of competing European, national, ethnic and regional identities over the introduction of new regional levels of government in the former Soviet and now Central and Eastern European states.
Anna Maria Ortese
After years of obscurity, Anna Maria Ortese (1914–1998) is emerging as one of the most important Italian authors of the twentieth-century, taking her place alongside such luminaries as Italo Calvino, Primo Levi, and Elsa Morante. Anna Maria Ortese: Celestial Geographies features a selection of essays by established Ortese scholars that trace her remarkable creative trajectory. Bringing a wide range of critical perspectives to Ortese’s work, the contributors to this collection map the author’s complex textual geography, with its overlapping literary genres, forms, and conceptual categories, and the rhetorical and narrative strategies that pervade Ortese’s many types of writing. The essays are complemented by material translated here for the first time: Ortese’s unpublished letters to her mentor, the writer Massimo Bontempelli; and an extended interview with Ortese by fellow Italian novelist Dacia Maraini.

The Poetry of Ana Maria Fagundo
This anthology includes translations of a number of original poems from each of the ten collections of poetry published to date by Spanish poet Ana Maria Fagundo. Its goal is to provide a representative sample of Fagundo's work for an English audience. With the basic tenet of phenomenology as scaffold, the introduction of this anthology elucidates Fagundo's poetic writing as a process whereby the abstract is transformed into a concrete experience through the speaker's own self and body. From Brotes/Buds in 1965 until Trasterrado Marzo/March Beyond in 1999, Fagundo's poetry is an ongoing dialogue with the poetic word. Fagundo's poetic speaker looks into essences, but only in order to reintegrate them into existence. There is no Truth or Beauty or Good out there for which this poet strives, but a truth that each poet articulates in his or her own way. Hers is an aesthetic enterprise, which implies the ethical obligation to affirm life. Candelas Gala is Professor and Chair of the Department of Romance Languages at Wake Forest University.
Cari saluti
Paolo, un trentacinquenne elegante, bello, realizzato nel lavoro e negli affetti, improvvisamente scompare senza lasciare traccia. Ma perché? Cos'è successo? Una disgrazia? Si è ucciso? A interrogarsi sul mistero, a scandagliare il passato remoto e rcente restano la madre, la fidanzata, i fratelli, il migliore amico, in un gioco corale che tenta (invano) di delineare la figura dell'unico vero protagonista: l'assente. E come in un gioco di specchi si mescolano affetto e indifferenza, sincerità e tradimento, incomprensioni e meschinità in un'atmosfera come solo Isabella Bossi Fedrigotti sa creare.
Il bene ostinato
"L'Italia migliore, quella che resiste e che pochi raccontano". Gian Antonio StellaI "Medici con l'Africa" del Cuamm (Collegio universitario aspiranti e medici missionari) si spendono dal 1950 per il diritto fondamentale alla salute e l'accesso ai servizi sanitari. Il Cuamm oggi è presente in sette paesi: Angola, Etiopia, Kenya, Mozambico, Sudan, Tanzania e Uganda. L'incontro tra il Cuamm e Paolo Rumiz è la scintilla da cui nasce questo libro. C'è uno scrittore-viaggiatore che si innamora del progetto, parte per l'Africa e osserva un'altra Italia in azione. Si sofferma sulle donne e sugli uomini - non solo medici - che con le famiglie decidono di vivere e lavorare nei villaggi e nelle cit...
