Book Synopsis Gli dèi della Grecia by : Walter F. Otto
Download or read book Gli dèi della Grecia written by Walter F. Otto and published by Adelphi Edizioni spa. This book was released on 2016-03-10T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appassionante e insuperata ricostruzione dell’universo religioso greco, questo libro avvicina sapientemente il lettore alle figure della religione olimpica – e al loro peculiare modo di manifestarsi – seguendo una duplice via: da un lato Otto esamina il culto dei dodici dèi olimpici (soffermandosi anzitutto su Atena, Apollo, Artemide, Afrodite, Ermete), dall’altro ce li presenta come esseri che, grazie alle loro divine epifanie – tanto diverse eppure così sottilmente collegate le une alle altre –, vivono una vita inesauribile, compiuta in sé. E ammirevole è la sua prosa allorché si confronta con le più enigmatiche fra le divinità, come nel famoso ritratto di Ermete, dove lo stile di Otto ci appare in tutto il suo evocativo nitore: alto e insieme capace di filtrare una impeccabile dottrina – e di parlare degli dèi in un modo che i suoi soggetti certamente non riterrebbero inappropriato. La raffigurazione della religione omerica che ne risulta – «coscienza sempre viva della prossimità del divino», «pura forma del mondo», spazio della conoscenza e della luce – ha costituito un modello per intere generazioni di studiosi di cui Otto è stato il maestro, primo fra tutti Karl Kerényi, ed è stata non meno presente a chi ha sempre guardato a lui – è il caso di Heidegger – come a un illuminato interprete del passato. "Gli dèi della Grecia" uscì per la prima volta nel 1929. La presente edizione è arricchita da un saggio inedito su Zeus, la divinità suprema che ancora mancava all’appello nel testo originale tedesco – testo che in questa versione raggiunge così definitiva completezza.

Book excerpt: Prima della scienza e ancora prima delle religioni, c'erano i miti e le leggende, tramandati oralmente da antiche generazioni. Oggi li vediamo come finzione, ma in passato i miti erano un modo per spiegare i fenomeni naturali che circondavano l'umanità e offrire una risposta alle domande universali che tutt'oggi ancora ci affascinano. I "Miti Greci" è un appassionante libro di "Fondazione Arte & Storia", un'edizione aggiornata al 2021, con un linguaggio moderno e coinvolgente. La Mitologia Greca non è solo una reliquia della storia, ma è parte delle tradizioni Europee e della nostra cultura. "Miti Greci" approfondisce il passato ed emerge con affascinante forza attraverso i racconti mozzafiato sulla creazione del mondo, sulla forza delle divinità e della natura, su eroi e grandi miti. Da Shakespeare ai romanzi di Tolkien, da Harry Potter ai supereroi della Marvel: sono tutti "figli" della mitologia classica e, in particolar modo, di quella Greca. Dopo aver viaggiato indietro nel tempo, alla scoperta degli Eroi e degli dèi dell'Antica Grecia come Eracle, Zeus, Apollo, Afrodite, Poseidone e molti altri. Eroi come Achille, Eracle e Perseo hanno contribuito a formare l'immagine che abbiamo oggi dell'eroe. La base di gran parte della filosofia e delle arti drammatiche che caratterizzano oggi la società occidentale affonda le sue radici nella cultura greca antica, che era strettamente legata e stimolata dal mito e dalla leggenda. Queste storie raccontano della creazione dell'universo, su come i Titani siano stati i padri degli dei, prima degli Olimpi, e su come essi siano andati in guerra tra loro. Conoscerete i Mostri che terrorizzarono l'antica civiltà, chi erano i capricciosi dei e le bellissime dee, chi erano gli eroi "i semidei" e tutte le loro avventure ed eroiche imprese. Questo libro ti farà viaggiare tra le storie e le divinità greche, ti insegnerà un nuovo linguaggio per analizzare il mondo in modo diverso, ti farà scoprire la forza della natura paragonata a quella di noi uomini. Se stai cercando una lettura fatta di avventure emozionanti, divinità vendicative e intriganti, allora questo libro farà sicuramente appello ai tuoi gusti. Ogni mito racconta una storia fatta di atti di vero coraggio alternati a codardia, divinità che fanno grandi sacrifici per poi commetter omicidi brutali. Tutto questo e molto altro esiste nell'affascinante mondo della mitologia greca! Cosa troverai all'interno? Il racconto di com'è nato il mondo e come si sono formati i Titani Un albero genealogico per chiarire le relazioni tra i diversi personaggi. Eroi e miti più famosi: essi si distinguevano per enorme coraggio e virtù morali, che sfociavano precisamente in imprese ricche di ostacoli. Tante illustrazioni coinvolgenti che ti porteranno indietro nel tempo. I messaggi e passaggi più importanti dell'Iliade e dell'Odissea. Un libro perfetto per adulti e ragazzi, capace di far trovare la chiave per comprendere meglio le nostre tradizioni, superstizioni, grandi film e opere d'arte. Ogni mito presente nel libro è supportato da materiale aggiuntivo e ricco di ILLUSTRAZIONI di alta qualità riguardanti la storia e la cultura degli antichi greci per aiutare i nostri lettori, grandi e piccini, a comprendere il contesto culturale dell'epoca.

Book Synopsis The Boundaries of Europe by : Pietro Rossi
Download or read book The Boundaries of Europe written by Pietro Rossi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe’s boundaries have mainly been shaped by cultural, religious, and political conceptions rather than by geography. This volume of bilingual essays from renowned European scholars outlines the transformation of Europe’s boundaries from the fall of the ancient world to the age of decolonization, or the end of the explicit endeavor to “Europeanize” the world.From the decline of the Roman Empire to the polycentrism of today’s world, the essays span such aspects as the confrontation of Christian Europe with Islam and the changing role of the Mediterranean from “mare nostrum” to a frontier between nations. Scandinavia, eastern Europe and the Atlantic are also analyzed as boundaries in the context of exploration, migratory movements, cultural exchanges, and war. The Boundaries of Europe, edited by Pietro Rossi, is the first installment in the ALLEA book series Discourses on Intellectual Europe, which seeks to explore the question of an intrinsic or quintessential European identity in light of the rising skepticism towards Europe as an integrated cultural and intellectual region.
Download or read book Men and Bears written by AA.VV. and published by Accademia University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time of Carnival represents a “wild” time at the end of winter and pointing to the beginning of a new season. It is characterized by the irruption of border figures, animal masks, characters which recall the world of the dead and which bring within themselves the germ of a vital force, of the energy that produces the reawakening of nature and announces the growth and fertility of the new crops. This wild domain shows itself under the shapes of a contiguity between human and animal: the costumes, the masks, refer to a world in which the characteristics of the human and those of the animal are fused and intertwined. Among these figures, in particular, emerge those of the Wild Man, the human being who takes on animal-like attributes and aspects, and of the Bear, the animal that, more than all the others, gets as close as possible to the human and seems to reflect a deformed image of it. Such symbolic images come from far off times and places to tell a story that belongs to our common origins. The bear assumes attributes and functions alike in very different cultural contexts, such as the Sámi of Finland or North-American hunter-gatherers, and represents a boundary between the world of nature and the human world, between the domain of animals and the difficult construction of humanity: a process continued for centuries, perhaps millennia, and which cannot still be said complete.
Book Synopsis The October Horse by : Colleen McCullough
Download or read book The October Horse written by Colleen McCullough and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-11-26 with total page 1031 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her new book about the men who were instrumental in establishing the Rome of the Emperors, Colleen McCullough tells the story of a famous love affair and a man whose sheer ability could lead to only one end -- assassination. As The October Horse begins, Gaius Julius Caesar is at the height of his stupendous career. When he becomes embroiled in a civil war between Egypt's King Ptolemy and Queen Cleopatra, he finds himself torn between the fascinations of a remarkable woman and his duty as a Roman. Though he must leave Cleopatra, she remains a force in his life as a lover and as the mother of his only son, who can never inherit Caesar's Roman mantle, and therefore cannot solve his father's greatest dilemma -- who will be Caesar's Roman heir? A hero to all of Rome except to those among his colleagues who see his dictatorial powers as threats to the democratic system they prize so highly, Caesar is determined not to be worshiped as a god or crowned king, but his unique situation conspires to make it seem otherwise. Swearing to bring him down, Caesar's enemies masquerade as friends and loyal supporters while they plot to destroy him. Among them are his cousin and Master of the Horse, Mark Antony, feral and avaricious, priapic and impulsive; Gaius Trebonius, the nobody, who owes him everything; Gaius Cassius, eaten by jealousy; and the two Brutuses, his cousin Decimus, and Marcus, the son of his mistress Servilia, sad victim of his mother and of his uncle Cato, whose daughter he marries. All are in Caesar's debt, all have been raised to high positions, all are outraged by Caesar's autocracy. Caesar must die, they decide, for only when he is dead will Rome return to her old ways, her old republican self. With her extraordinary knowledge of Roman history, Colleen McCullough brings Caesar to life as no one has ever done before and surrounds him with an enormous and vivid cast of historical characters, characters like Cleopatra who call to us from beyond the centuries, for McCullough's genius is to make them live again without losing any of the grandeur that was Rome. Packed with battles on land and sea, with intrigue, love affairs, and murders, the novel moves with amazing speed toward the assassination itself, and then into the ever more complex and dangerous consequences of that act, in which the very fate of Rome is at stake. The October Horse is about one of the world's pivotal eras, relating as it does events that have continued to echo even into our own times.

Book Synopsis The Imagined Immigrant by : Ilaria Serra
Download or read book The Imagined Immigrant written by Ilaria Serra and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using original sources--such as newspaper articles, silent movies, letters, autobiographies, and interviews--Ilaria Serra depicts a large tapestry of images that accompanied mass Italian migration to the U.S. at the turn of the twentieth century. She chooses to translate the Italian concept of immaginario with the Latin imago that felicitously blends the double English translation of the word as "imagery" and "imaginary." Imago is a complex knot of collective representations of the immigrant subject, a mental production that finds concrete expression; impalpable, yet real. The "imagined immigrant" walks alongside the real one in flesh and rags.
