Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking translation of the epic work of one of the great minds of the nineteenth century Giacomo Leopardi was the greatest Italian poet of the nineteenth century and was recognized by readers from Nietzsche to Beckett as one of the towering literary figures in Italian history. To many, he is the finest Italian poet after Dante. (Jonathan Galassi's translation of Leopardi's Canti was published by FSG in 2010.) He was also a prodigious scholar of classical literature and philosophy, and a voracious reader in numerous ancient and modern languages. For most of his writing career, he kept an immense notebook, known as the Zibaldone, or "hodge-podge," as Harold Bloom has called it, in which Leopardi put down his original, wide-ranging, radically modern responses to his reading. His comments about religion, philosophy, language, history, anthropology, astronomy, literature, poetry, and love are unprecedented in their brilliance and suggestiveness, and the Zibaldone, which was only published at the turn of the twentieth century, has been recognized as one of the foundational books of modern culture. Its 4,500-plus pages have never been fully translated into English until now, when a team under the auspices of Michael Caesar and Franco D'Intino of the Leopardi Centre in Birmingham, England, have spent years producing a lively, accurate version. This essential book will change our understanding of nineteenth-century culture. This is an extraordinary, epochal publication.
Book Synopsis Giacomo Leopardi's Search for a Common Life Through Poetry by : Frank Rosengarten
Download or read book Giacomo Leopardi's Search for a Common Life Through Poetry written by Frank Rosengarten and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the life of Giacomo Leopardi by examining four different yet interrelated aspects: his social origins and class in relation to his evolving conception of nobility; the mixture of idealism and misogynism in his attitude toward women and in his conception of love; his poems and prose on the theme of Italian independence; and his philosophical materialism as expressed in his poetry, intellectual diary, and essays. Frank Rosengarten pays particular attention to the ways in which the thought of Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche illuminates Leopardi's world view. He also devotes a section of the book to the different personal, moral, and philological components of Leopardi's humanism. Throughout, he maintains a sharp focus on the connections between Leopardi's life and the historical period in which he lived. The major themes and human concerns expressed in Leopardi's writings relate to his life experiences and to the historical period in which he lived. Of central interest are nobility and love, since Leopardi's perception of these two themes evolved and changed as he acquired a more general and universal conception of life. This fascinating combination of classical and modern perspectives on life and literature is highlighted throughout the book.

This collection of essays makes very original use of the new translation of Leopardi’s Zibaldone di pensieri and investigates its connections to all his other works.

Offering some of the earliest reflections against anthropocentrism, championing the artist’s interest in the natural sciences, and questioning humanity’s purpose(s) in this world, Leopardi’s work is presented in this volume as an indispensable tool to understand the complexity of Italy’s cultural transformations between the 18th and the 19th centuries.
Book Synopsis Leopardi's Nymphs by : Fabio A. Camilletti
Download or read book Leopardi's Nymphs written by Fabio A. Camilletti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How can one make poetry in a disenchanted age? For Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837) this was the modern subject's most insolvable deadlock, after the Enlightenment's pitiless unveiling of truth. Still, in the poems written in 1828-29 between Pisa and the Marches, Leopardi manages to turn disillusion into a powerful source of inspiration, through an unprecedented balance between poetic lightness and philosophical density. The addressees of these cantos are two prematurely dead maidens bearing names of nymphs, and thus obliquely metamorphosed into the charmingly disquieting deities that in Greek lore brought knowledge and poetic speech through possession. The nymph, Camilletti argues, can be seen as the inspirational power allowing the utterance of a new kind of poetry, bridging antiquity and modernity, illusion and disenchantment, life and death. By reading Leopardi's poems in the light of Freudian psychoanalysis and of Aby Warburg's and Walter Benjamin's thought, Camilletti gives a groundbreaking interpretation of the way Leopardi negotiates the original fracture between poetry and philosophy that characterises Western culture. Fabio Camilletti is Assistant Professor in Italian at the University of Warwick."
Book Synopsis The Power of Distraction by : Alessandra Aloisi
Download or read book The Power of Distraction written by Alessandra Aloisi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Pascal to contemporary anxieties about attention, we have constantly been urged to avoid distraction if we want to live and work better. But Alessandra Aloisi argues that we are missing the point.Drawing on a broad range ofEuropean philosophy and literature, this book considers distraction not as an expression of human imperfection, but as a creative, subversive, and aesthetic capability. In contrast to the traditional accounts, from Saint Augustine to Robert Burton, which either associated distraction with sin or considered it as a symptom of melancholy, Aloisi argues that it is often precisely when we stop thinking about something that inspiration finds us. Why else are artists described as having their heads in the clouds? This book demonstrates the serendipity of distraction through close readings of cultural and visual sources ranging from the mathematician Poincaré to the Netflix show, Black Mirror. With inspiration from La Bruyère, Rousseau, Leopardi, Stendhal, Baudelaire, and others, Aloisi further examines the political value of distraction. After all, in an age of ubiquitous technology and 24/7 availability fighting for our attention, distraction provides what Bergson called a 'slight revolt' from the codes and behaviors that society dictates. Combining philosophy, literature, art, and politics, The Power of Distraction encourages us to think differently about our attention and considers just how productive daydreams can be.

Book Synopsis MENANDRO e l’evoluzione della commedia greca by : Angelo Casanova
Download or read book MENANDRO e l’evoluzione della commedia greca written by Angelo Casanova and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume contains eighteen original essays, written - upon invitation - by internationally renowned scholars from various Italian or foreign universities. The major issues that recent papyrus discoveries have raised (or re-proposed) on the text and interpretation of several of Menander's comedies are addressed, outlining an authoritative and fully updated picture of our knowledge in this regard. Among other things, the first fruits of the edition (with photography) of a new, previously unpublished fragment of the famous (and discussed) Michigan papyrus are offered. All reports present remarkable aspects of editorial novelty, with philological, linguistic and literary comments, relevant for the cultural debate on Menandro's comedy, and therefore for the history of ancient theater and its evolution, as well as for the study of the influences exercised from the New Comedy on the later Latin and Italian tradition.

Book Synopsis Milieus of Minutiae by : Elizabeth Brogden
Download or read book Milieus of Minutiae written by Elizabeth Brogden and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2024-12-19 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long history of tiny matter(s) in the sciences, thought, and culture From catastrophic weather and steady warming caused by the accumulation of carbon particles in the Earth’s atmosphere to societies brought to a standstill by microscopic viruses, the new millennium has reminded us of how the minutest of phenomena can have outsized effects. This notion is one that has preoccupied the European and Anglo-American cultural imaginary since at least early modernity. Milieus of Minutiae brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to investigate various forms and appearances of minutiae prior to and beyond the advent of magnification. The collection illuminates connections between the empirical practices and technologies with which minutiae have come to be associated and the broader, more diffuse discourses—from the philosophical to the artistic—that have attended theories of smallness before and after Hooke’s Micrographia. Placing essays on Renaissance poetry, Romantic fiction, and matters of punctuation alongside essays on early modern germ theory and the optics of microscopic technology, this rigorously framed volume extends from sixteenth-century pathology to twentieth-century architectural theory, natural science to literature and art.
Book Synopsis Corporeità e natura in Leopardi by : Gaspare Polizzi
Download or read book Corporeità e natura in Leopardi written by Gaspare Polizzi and published by Mimesis. This book was released on 2023-05-05T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Giacomo Leopardi poesia e filosofia convergono verso una visione tragica, intrisa di corporeità, di natura e del posto occupato in essa dagli uomini e dagli altri viventi. Il libro segue alcuni percorsi privilegiati della corporeità in Leopardi, nel rapporto tra corpo sano e corpo malato, nella dinamica della malinconia e delle illusioni, nella descrizione del “corpo delle nazioni”, nella messa in gioco del rapporto tra corporeità e orizzonte cosmico. La tensione tra bisogno di conoscenza e ricerca della felicità si apre all’illusione dell’infinito che scuote la corporeità umana dinanzi all’immensità della natura. Vengono trattati aspetti centrali del pensiero leopardiano desunti dall’intera produzione poetica, letteraria e filosofica di Leopardi: il rapporto con il (proprio) corpo, la riflessione sull’infinito e sull’indefinito, i nessi tra malinconia, conoscenza e rimembranza, le dinamiche del sogno e dell’immaginazione, il tema religioso, la lettura disincantata delle vicende moderne delle nazioni, il suo rapporto con Vico e il vichismo, la presenza della Luna, la visione cosmica e il viaggio sublime di Dedalo nei Paralipomeni.

Book Synopsis Itinerari leopardiani by : Novella Bellucci
Download or read book Itinerari leopardiani written by Novella Bellucci and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'opera di Giacomo Leopardi offre infinite possibilità di attraversamenti, di incroci concettuali, di itinerari attraverso le più alte espressioni della poesia e del pensiero moderno. In questi Itinerari leopardiani si ripercorrono alcune tappe della produzione prosastica leopardiana, dalle Lettere, ai Discorsi sulla poesia e sui costumi, alle grandissime Operette morali, a quello straordinario diario mentale denominato Zibaldone. Questi transiti testuali permettono di interrogare alcune delle questioni forti che il poeta ci ha lasciato in eredità, da temi più legati alla vita privata e in particolare al rapporto con il Padre (di grande interesse psico-antropologico), alle riflessioni sulla poesia e sul suo alto valore di civiltà, alla analisi sociopolitica sui caratteri italiani, alle grandi domande sulla lacerazione antropologica della modernità e sulla condizione umana. I capitoli di tali Itinerari dimostrano la molteplicità dei saperi che si incrociano nella scrittura leopardiana (antropologia, psicologia, estetica, socio-politica, filosofia, letteratura, linguistica, scienze naturali) collaborando ad animare l' opera del nostro grande poeta e a renderla viva. attuale, necessaria. Il volume si chiude con tre saggi titolati Periferie leopardiane che offrono materia per arricchire ulteriormente la ricostruzione dei rapporti del poeta con la sua contemporaneità, in particolare chiamando in causa i due amici fondamentali, Pietro Giordani e Antonio Ranieri.
