A Multitude of Women
A Multitude of Women looks at the ways in which both Italian literary tradition and external influences have assisted Italian women writers in rethinking the theoretical and aesthetic ties between author, text, and readership in the construction of the novel. Stefania Lucamante discusses the valuable contributions that Italian women writers have made to the contemporary novel and illustrates the relevance of the novelistic examples set by their predecessors. She addresses various discursive communities, reading works by Di Lascia, Ferrante, Vinci, and others with reference to intertextuality and the theories of Elsa Morante and Simone de Beauvoir. This study identifies a positive deviation f...
Translation Translation
Translation Translation contributes to current debate on the question of translation dealt with in an interdisciplinary perspective, with implications not only of a theoretical order but also of the didactic and the practical orders. In the context of globalization the question of translation is fundamental for education and responds to new community needs with reference to Europe and more extensively to the international world. In its most obvious sense translation concerns verbal texts and their relations among different languages. However, to remain within the sphere of verbal signs, languages consist of a plurality of different languages that also relate to each other through translation...
Interconnecting Music and the Literary Word
Dealing with the interconnections between music and the written word, this volume brings into focus an updated range of analytical and interpretative approaches which transcend the domain of formalist paradigms and the purist assumption of music’s non-referentiality. Grouped into three thematic sections, these fifteen essays by Italian, British and American scholars shed light on a phenomenological network embracing different historical, socio-cultural and genre contexts and a variety of theoretical concepts, such as intermediality, the soundscape notion, and musicalisation. At one end of the spectrum, music emerges as a driving cultural force, an agent cooperating with signifying and communication processes and an element functionally woven into the discursive fabric of the literary work. The authors also provide case studies of the fruitful musico-literary dialogue by taking into account the seminal role of composers, singer-songwriters, and performers. From another standpoint, the music-in-literature and literature-in-music dynamics are explored through the syntax of hybridisations, transcoding experiments, and iconic analogies.

The Forty-Nine Steps
In books lauded as brilliant, exhilarating and profound, Roberto Calasso has revealed the unexpected intersections of ancient and modern through topics ranging from Greek and Indian mythology to what a legendary African kingdom can tell us about the French Revolution. In this first translation of his most important essays, Calasso brings his powerful intellect and elegant prose style to bear on the essential thinkers of our time, providing a sweeping analysis of the current state of Western culture.'Forty-nine steps' refers to the Talmudic doctrine that there are forty-nine steps to meaning in every passage of the Torah. Employing this interpretative approach, Calasso offers a 'secret histor...
Un bagno nello stagno sotto la pioggia
Questo non è l’ennesimo manuale di scrittura creativa, ma un libro dove ci si fa un sacco di domande. Sette racconti (riportati integralmente) di quattro giganti della letteratura russa (Turgenev, Tolstoj, Čechov, Gogol’) vengono analizzati come scatole nere cariche di dati e informazioni insospettabili dal meno ortodosso degli autori americani. Sulla scorta del corso che tiene da vent’anni alla Syracuse University, George Saunders diventa il nostro istruttore personale e ci propone di entrare in questi racconti come se entrassimo nella testa dei loro autori, per scoprire, al di là dei ferri del mestiere, un nuovo approccio alla lettura, alla scrittura e alla vita, e per rendersi finalmente conto che il mondo non gira solo intorno a noi.
Innamorarsi di Anna Karenina il sabato sera
Possiamo ritrovare la capacità di meravigliarci leggendo Tolstoj? Sentirci di nuovo affamati di vita grazie a Leopardi? O assaporare il tempo con Il Gattopardo? Guendalina Middei ci accompagna, con passione e originalità, alla scoperta di nove giganti della letteratura e, superando l’idea che serva una cultura enciclopedica per comprenderli e amarli, ci contagia con il desiderio irresistibile di leggerli. Leopardi, Tolstoj, Manzoni, Mann, Kafka, Dostoevskij, Austen, Tomasi di Lampedusa e Orwell rivelano le illusioni in cui siamo irretiti e ci danno strumenti di straordinaria modernità per vivere in un presente incerto. In questo viaggio attraverso alcuni dei loro capolavori, Guendalina ...
