Book Synopsis Royally Tricked – Inganno regale by : Misha Bell
Download or read book Royally Tricked – Inganno regale written by Misha Bell and published by Mozaika Publications. This book was released on 2022-03-24 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un principe spericolato vuole pagarmi un mucchio di soldi affinché lo alleni a trattenere il respiro sott'acqua per dieci minuti? Ci sto! Solo che io sono una maga, non una consulente di acrobazie. La mia immersione in apnea da record era un trucco. Naturalmente, non posso dirlo al mio cliente, il maestosamente affascinante Anatolio Cezaroff, alias Tigger. Non se voglio riuscire a pagare l'affitto. Inoltre, non sono esattamente a mio agio con i germi. Tutti i germi, compresi quelli che si annidano su uomini super-attraenti. Quindi, innamorarsi del mio bellissimo cliente è fuori questione; ho intenzione di mantenere le distanze. Questo… finché lui non si offre di allenarmi a letto. NOTA: Questa è una commedia romantica a sé stante, licenziosa e piccante, che narra di un’eroina con la fobia dei germi e l’ossessione per i film, che è impaziente di diventare una maga famosa, di un principe ruskoviano strafigo a cui piace il rischio e di due cagnoloni di grossa taglia, che potrebbero o meno aver causato dei danni al guardaroba del suddetto principe. Se uno qualsiasi di questi elementi non è di vostro gradimento, scappate subito! Altrimenti, allacciatevi le cinture per una corsa che vi farà ridere a crepapelle.

Book Synopsis The Hospital of Incurable Madness by : Tomaso Garzoni
Download or read book The Hospital of Incurable Madness written by Tomaso Garzoni and published by Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS). This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This translation of Tomaso Garzoni's Renaissance "best-seller" provides a rich and revealing window on 16th-century views of madness, foolishness, and social deviance. Garzoni's encyclopedic work is perhaps the most important contribution of the last half of the century to the "fools" genre to which Erasmus' Praise of Folly and Sebastian Brant's Ship of Fools also belong. Garzoni provides a spoof of academic writing on madness, with extensive "reviews of the medical literature" on certain types of madness. A final, intriguing section on the varieties of madness to be found in Garzoni's female "patients" reveals much about late-Renaissance attitudes towards women. --Book Jacket.

Book Synopsis The Theater of Nature by : Ann Blair
Download or read book The Theater of Nature written by Ann Blair and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Theater of Nature is histoire totale of the last work of the political philosopher Jean Bodin, his Universae naturae theatrum (1596). Through Bodin's work, Ann Blair explores the fascinating and previously little known world of late Renaissance natural philosophy. A study of the text, of its context (through comparisons with different genres of natural philosophy and works entitled "Theater"), and of its reception in the seventeenth century highlights above all the religious motivations, encyclopedic ambitions, and bookish methods characterizing much of late Renaissance science. Amid the religious crisis and the explosion of knowledge in the late sixteenth century, natural philosophy offered grounds for consensus across religious divides and a vast collection of useful and pleasant information, admired for both its order and its variety. The commonplace book provided a versatile tool for gathering and sorting bits of natural knowledge garnered from a wide array of bookish sources and "experience,'' fueling a vigorous cycle of text-based science at least through the mid-seventeenth century. The miscellaneous genre of the problemata into which Bodin's text was adapted attracted more popular audiences until even later. To place the Theatrum in its cultural context is also to reveal more clearly the peculiarities of Bodin's philosophical project in this, its final expression. He combined arguments from reason, experience, and authority to undermine traditional Aristotelian conclusions and proposed instead a natural philosophy based on pious, often biblical, solutions.

Book Synopsis Jewish Life in Renaissance Italy by : Robert Bonfil
Download or read book Jewish Life in Renaissance Italy written by Robert Bonfil and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1994-03-04 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this heady exploration of time and space, rumors and silence, colors, tastes, and ideas, Robert Bonfil recreates the richness of Jewish life in Renaissance Italy. He also forces us to rethink conventional interpretations of the period, which feature terms like "assimilation" and "acculturation." Questioning the Italians' presumed capacity for tolerance and civility, he points out that Jews were frequently uprooted and persecuted, and where stable communities did grow up, it was because the hostility of the Christian population had somehow been overcome. After the ghetto was imposed in Venice, Rome, and other Italian cities, Jewish settlement became more concentrated. Bonfil claims that the ghetto experience did more to intensify Jewish self-perception in early modern Europe than the supposed acculturation of the Renaissance. He shows how, paradoxically, ghetto living opened and transformed Jewish culture, hastening secularization and modernization. Bonfil's detailed picture reveals in the Italian Jews a sensitivity and self-awareness that took into account every aspect of the larger society. His inside view of a culture flourishing under stress enables us to understand how identity is perceived through constant interplay—on whatever terms—with the Other.

Book Synopsis The Clock and the Mirror by : Nancy G. Siraisi
Download or read book The Clock and the Mirror written by Nancy G. Siraisi and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Girolamo Cardano (1501-1576), renowned as a mathematician, encyclopedist, astrologer, and autobiographer, was by profession a medical practitioner. His copious writings on medicine reflect both the complexity and diversity of the Renaissance medical world and the breadth of his own interests. In this book, Nancy Siraisi draws on selected themes in Cardano's medical writings to explore in detail the relation between medicine and wider areas of Renaissance culture. Cardano’s medical advice included the suggestion that "the studious man should always have at hand a clock and a mirror"—a clock to keep track of the passage of time and a mirror to observe the changing condition of his body. The remark, which recalls his astrological and autobiographical interests, is emblematic of the many connections between his medicine and his other pursuits. Cardano’s philosophical eclecticism, beliefs about occult forces in nature, theories about dreams, and free transitions between academic and popularizing scientific writing also contributed to his medicine. As a physician, he greeted two different types of medical innovation in his lifetime with equal enthusiasm: improved access to the Hippocratic corpus and Vesalian anatomy. Cardano presented himself as a practitioner with special gifts. Yet his medical learning remained rooted in the Galenic tradition that he often criticized. Meanwhile, he negotiated a career in a medical community characterized by personal and social rivalries, a competitive medical marketplace, and strong institutional and religious pressures.

Download or read book Satan's Rhetoric written by Armando Maggi and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading innumerable treatises on demonology written during the Renaissance, including Thesaurus exorcismorum, the most important record of early modern exorcisms, Maggi finds repeated attempts to define the language exchanged between the fallen progeny of Adam, and the most notorious fallen angel of them all, Satan. Using points of departure taken from de Certeau and Lacan, Maggi shows that Satan articulates his language first and foremost in the mind. More than speaking, the devil tries to make human beings understand his language and speak it themselves.
