It hadn't to be love
This is an unfinished novel that Sergio Guerra allowed me to read at the beginning of 2019. He had talked about it more than once, and I wanted to look into the possibility of having it published. He played it down – it was a juvenile work, it was not finished, it had no worth, it was written in English, there were mistakes – but in the end he was pleased to salvage those pages from a distant past which was so dear to him. The story takes place in the 1980s – the years that followed bombs and repression, the years of disco music, of the first imported TV series, of yuppies, of junk-TV for those of us who stayed in Italy. But for Sergio, who speaks in the first person here, they were th...
Herbs and Healers from the Ancient Mediterranean through the Medieval West
Herbs and Healers from the Ancient Mediterranean through the Medieval West brings together eleven papers by leading scholars in ancient and medieval medicine and pharmacy. Fittingly, the volume honors Professor John M. Riddle, one of today's most respected medieval historians, whose career has been devoted to decoding the complexities of early medicine and pharmacy. "Herbs" in the title generally connotes drugs in ancient and medieval times; the essays here discuss interesting aspects of the challenges scholars face as they translate and interpret texts in several older languages. Some of the healers in the volume are named, such as Philotas of Amphissa, Gariopontus, and Constantine the Afri...

Premodern Plants
This book gathers essays on premodern plants, considering the position of critical plant studies in relation to medieval studies. Contributions cover topics including the significance of the daisy in the two Prologues to Chaucer's Legend of Good Women; naming in premodern herbals; gathering prayers; vegetal decay in the prose romance Perceforest; the futurity of plants as they ripen and then rot; and vegetal life in libertine science and literature from the seventeenth century. Taken together, they provide a thoughtful reflection on premodern plants.

Innocue follie
Le innocue follie del libro di Stefania Piantanelli sono momenti vissuti da persone comuni che tutt’a un tratto si trovano a osservare le cose in modo nuovo, illuminati da un’insolita intuizione. L’autrice, nei suoi quattordici racconti garbatamente provocatori, tratteggia personaggi alle prese con eventi esterni o epifanie interiori che li spingono ad agire in maniera inaspettata, scardinando convenzioni sociali, o semplicemente scuotendo la consuetudine della loro vita, per approdare a nuove forme di libertà e riscatto. Attraverso uno stile narrativo vario che sa giocare con il lettore – talvolta chiamandolo direttamente in causa, talvolta conducendolo a un’identificazione origi...
Classification from Antiquity to Modern Times
The volume presents phenomena of classification and categorisation in ancient and modern cultures and provides an overview of how cultural practices and cognitive systems interact when individuals or larger groups conceptually organize their world. Scientists of antiquity studies, anthropologists, linguists etc. will find methods to reconstruct early concepts of men and nature from a synchronic and diachronic comparative perspective.
Una strana normalità
A Giovanni capitano avvenimenti inspiegabili e problemi di salute non diagnosticabili. L’uomo non si scoraggia e prova tutte le strade, fino ad incontrare Gaetano, lo scienziato che lo accompagnerà alla scoperta di una realtà ben diversa da quella conosciuta e che riguarda non solo lui, ma addirittura un quinto della popolazione mondiale e l’intero pianeta. È la strana normalità di un universo che andrà compreso fino in fondo, per dare finalmente pieno senso alla vita.
Oscure presenze
Oscure presenze prendono vita dal mondo dei giocattoli, dalle maschere, dall’ignoto, dall’inaspettato, dall’incredibile, dall’invisibile e dall’inconscio. Preparatevi a tremare. Perché le storie horror sono così attraenti, i thriller elettrizzanti, perché l’orrore ci fa orrore ? Perché i racconti raccapriccianti hanno un magnetismo irresistibile? E quali elementi in comune hanno le buone storie di paura? A volte le storie horror hanno lo scopo di scioccare o disgustare, ma le migliori ci fanno pensare, ci costringono a confrontarci con presenze che ignoriamo, sfidano i nostri preconcetti; l’orrore ci ricorda che il mondo reale non è sempre quel posto sicuro che sembra. Ogn...
Il giorno in cui ho detto basta
"Il libro che ho scritto è una sorta di diario di viaggio che esploranuovi stili alternativi di vita in giro per l'Italia. È una specie di romanzo autobiografico dove si mescolano le storie delle persone che ho conosciuto, la bellezza dei luoghi che ho visitato, il mio vissuto personale, riflessioni sul senso della vita."
