Tematiche del "sottosuolo" nella letteratura e cultura italiane
I tredici saggi raccolti in questo volume focalizzano la dimensione del 'sottosuolo' nella cultura contemporanea, quando ipogei, bassifondi, zone oscure e nascoste della realtà assumono una funzione differente rispetto al pensiero della classicità. L'età moderna sembra infatti ribaltare il mito platonico, configurando la caverna come luogo della vita effettiva, per quanto squallida, dolorosa, opprimente, mentre il mondo di superficie è zona del traviamento e dell’illusione; anzi nel mondo ctonio la vista, cieca agli stimoli esterni, acquista una maggiore profondità ed acutezza.

Le Amiche
Anna wakes up, but remembers nothing. An old trunk and a portrait on the wall of her study are the only clues to a past she must now reconstruct. Diaries and bundled letters tied with faded ribbons from eight Italian girls reveal the trials and deprivations of World War II, Italy. After the discovery of these writings, Anna befriends the stranger in the mirror; thus unraveling the truth about the eight young women in war-torn Italy whose lives were fortuitously intertwined in the 60s in San Francisco, resulting in a lifelong friendship. This novel is in part inspired by actual events during World War II.

In the Purgatorio alone does Hope exist, for be it remembered that Dante's examination on Hope by St. James in the Paradiso does not refer to either of the three Kingdoms of the dead, but only to Man living on earth. My answer then to the question would be the counter-question: "When you look at a grand landscape by Cuyp, by Ruysdael, by Rubens, or by Hobbema, wh...
