Book excerpt: When writer Roger Culberson consents to tour Sicily and create a travel guide for a tour company, he believes it is his last opportunity to recover his life. With the tragic death of his wife, he is lost in guilt and remorse. In the ancient mountain village of Amida, Sicily, he encounters Angelina Molintorie, a teacher half his age. A fire is lit that engulfs them but the moment is fleeting since Roger must move on. Fatefully they meet again. He learns she is the daughter of a once powerful Aristocrat and is engaged, through a traditional wedding contract, to Gino Aiellio, the son of the local Mafia leader. In defiance of tradition, her family and Ginos objection, Angelina agrees to assist Roger by doing research on the sites to be included in Rogers travel guide. With that decision the harmonious existence of the village is interrupted, and Ginos ambition to follow in his fathers footsteps and his marriage to Angelina is threatened. As the relationship develops, their families attempt to dissuade them and Ginos jealousy turns into vengeance to recover his honor. At the same time Gino begins a plan to obtain control of his fathers Mafia Family, and to also fight the Mafia Commission in Palermo. Rogers intrusion into their lives results in betrayal, violence and murder. Gino threatens Angelina with Rogers death if she does not honor their marriage arrangement. Fearful for Rogers life Angelina ends the relationship without any explanation to Roger and a wedding date is set to marry Gino. Roger, back in America, recovers his career. And though time passes, he doesnt give up hope of hearing from Angelina. His patience is rewarded. In a daring undertaking he attempts to rescue Angelina from the Mafias grasp and, in so doing, initiates the final confrontation with Gino.

Book Synopsis Myth, Locality, and Identity in Pindar's Sicilian Odes by : Virginia M. Lewis
Download or read book Myth, Locality, and Identity in Pindar's Sicilian Odes written by Virginia M. Lewis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Myth, Locality, and Identity argues that Pindar engages in a striking, innovative style of mythmaking that represents and shapes Sicilian identities in his epinician odes for Sicilian victors in the fifth century BCE. While Sicily has been thought to be lacking in local traditions for Pindar to celebrate, Lewis argues that the Sicilian odes offer examples of the formation of local traditions: the monster Typho whom Zeus defeated to become king of the gods, for example, now lives beneath Mt. Aitna; Persephone receives the island of Sicily as a gift from Zeus; and the Peloponnesian river Alpheos travels to Syracuse in pursuit of the local spring nymph Arethusa. By weaving regional and Panhellenic myth into the local landscape, as the book shows, Pindar infuses physical places with meaning and thereby contextualizes people, cities, and their rulers within a wider Greek framework. During this time period, Greek Sicily experienced a unique set of political circumstances: the inhabitants were continuously being displaced, cities were founded and resettled, and political leaders rose and fell from power in rapid succession. This book offers the first sustained analysis of myth in Pindar's odes for Sicilian victors across the island that accounts for their shared context. The nodes of myth and place that Pindar fuses in this poetry reinforce and develop a sense of place and community for citizens locally; at the same time, they raise the profile of physical sites and the cities attached to them for larger audiences across the Greek world. In addition to providing new readings of Pindaric odes and offering a model for the formation of Sicilian identities in the first half of the fifth century, the book contributes new insights into current debates on the relationship between myth and place in classical literature.

Download or read book Sicily written by Andrew Edwards and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising up from the heart of the Mediterranean, Sicily has a rich and ancient history spanning over 2,000 years. A bounty prized by invaders from the Greeks, Romans and Vandals to the Byzantines, Arabs and Normans, Sicily's violently beautiful landscapes are haunted by a vibrant mix of cultures and her soil has always been fertile ground for the literary and artistic imagination. This compelling guide uncovers the island's multi-faceted personality through those literary figures who have managed to get under her skin - from Pindar, Cicero and Aeschylus to Shakespeare and Cervantes; DH Lawrence, Coleridge and Oscar Wilde to Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Ezra Pound and Lawrence Durrell; as well as local writers who have defined the modern Italian novel - Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa and Leonardo Sciascia. Through their words and lives we witness the beauty, pain and power of the Sicilian cultural landscape and discover how the potent mix of influences on the island's society has been preserved forever in literature.
