The Darkest Side of the Fascist Years
Minor philofascist publications that appeared in those years are considered as well. Their editorial policy is woven with and presented against the background of the portentous events that shook the world and led to the Second World War."--BOOK JACKET.
Dizionario della favola antica
La grande e complessa tradizione della favola greca e latina, le cui antichissime origini si perdono nei primordi della civiltà, si estende su più secoli, con una sorprendente coerenza di temi e figure: per la prima volta in Italia questo dizionario la cataloga, da Esopo a Fedro fino alle raccolte tardoantiche e medievali, senza trascurare influssi ed echi biblici, mesopotamici, indiani. Volpi astute, scimmie sciocche, lupi spietati, piante vanitose, pastori beffati: il variegato universo della favola è popolato di personaggi umili, e i suoi protagonisti, animali, piante o esseri umani che siano, mettono in scena i motivi del conflitto e dei rapporti di forza, della rinuncia e dell'immutabilità del destino individuale, in un'esortazione continua al pragmatismo e alla scoperta della verità nascosta sotto le apparenze. A ciascuno di essi è dedicata una voce di presentazione e una ricca scelta di favole - oltre cinquecento - e di proverbi; se gli indici e gli ampi apparati sono preziosi per una consultazione puntuale, il repertorio favolistico e proverbiale offre il piacere della lettura - e della rilettura.
