Book Synopsis The Bravo by : James Fenimore Cooper
Download or read book The Bravo written by James Fenimore Cooper and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2023-07-01 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bravo (1831) takes place in early eighteenth-century Venice, when the "Serene Republic" had lost much of its glory, leaving its oligarchs struggling to hold on to their family wealth by manipulating the government and people through secret councils and a figure-head doge. In 1844, Cooper called it "in spirit, the most American book I ever wrote" because of its depiction of the masses duped by demagoguery and the attempts of Congress to rein in President Jackson, who Cooper saw as representing the popular will. In the novel, the low-born hero, Jacopo Frontoni, is forced to become an agent of the state because his unjustly imprisoned father languishes in the infamous state prison. On the last page, Jacopo is executed as a scapegoat for the crimes attributed to him of which he is innocent, rendering his beloved insane. Only in a subplot does a noble couple escape Venice to enjoy marriage. The present text is based on all extant manuscript witnesses (including a lengthy deleted section) and offers extensive explanatory notes.
Book Synopsis Italian Discourse by : Gian Marco Farese
Download or read book Italian Discourse written by Gian Marco Farese and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the Natural Semantic Metalanguage methodology, Gian Marco Farese presents a comprehensive analysis of the most important Italian cultural keywords and cultural scripts that foreign learners and cultural outsiders need to know to become linguistically and culturally proficient in Italian. Farese focuses on the words and speech practices that are used most frequently in Italian discourse and that are uniquely Italian: both untranslatable into other languages and reflective of salient aspects of Italian culture and society. Italian Discourse: A Cultural Semantic Analysis sheds light on ways in which the Italian language is related to Italians’ character, values, and way of thinking, and it does so in contrastive perspective with English. Each chapter focuses on a cultural keyword, tracing the term through novels, plays, poems, and songs. Italian Discourse will be an important resource for anyone interested in Italian studies and Italian linguistics, as well as in semantics, cultural studies, linguistic anthropology, cognitive linguistics, intercultural communication, and translation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avviato agli studi di giurisprudenza dal padre – Carlo Bersezio, un giudice di tendenze liberali – frequenta fin da adolescente i circoli letterari della capitale sabauda. Esordisce quattordicenne con un primo lavoro teatrale, Le male lingue, che conoscerà successivamente una discreta fortuna sotto il nuovo titolo Una bolla di sapone (Milano 1876). Il suo vero esordio teatrale avviene al Carignano di Torino nella stagione 1852/1853 con i drammi Pietro Micca e Romolo in cui gli ideali patriottici venivano adattati ai canoni classici dell'arte drammatica. Quasi come una sorta di basso continuo la sua opera (per il resto fortemente debitrice a influenze d’oltralpe, da Dumas a Hugo, Balzac, Sue) è percorsa da una vena umoristica e satirica. Assumendo nel 1854 la direzione del Fischietto, uno dei più importanti periodici satirici d’Italia, riscuote un'ampia notorietà. Il capolavoro riconosciuto di Bersezio è la commedia piccolo-borghese Le miserie di Monsù Travet (rappresentata a Torino al Teatro Alfieri il 4 aprile 1863 dalla compagnia di Giovanni Toselli) che ebbe a suo tempo gli elogi di Manzoni, mentre il nome del suo protagonista Travet o Travetti venne accolto nel Dizionario di Petrocchi come sinonimo di «piccolo burocrate», «impiegatuccio» ed era ancora ampiamente usato fino agli anni settanta del XX secolo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il Mastro artigliere bretone è la figura di primo piano di questo terzo ed ultimo romanzo del ciclo nel cui sfondo vi è sempre la guerra di indipendenza americana. Gli insorti americani hanno liberato dagli inglesi Boston, le province del sud e New York, ora le truppe di Washington sono impegnate nel Canada. È di vitale importanza che alcune urgentissime istruzioni arrivino alle truppe americane presenti vicino al Lago Champlain, ma l'impresa è tanto più difficile e pericolosa in quanto si compie in inverno inoltrato e la zona da attraversare è abitata da indiani che appoggiano gli inglesi. E chi poteva essere più adatto di Testa di Pietra, popolarissimo per la sua forza, la sua astuzia e la sua mira infallibile? Perciò il buon mastro e Piccolo Flocco partono per la difficile missione. Nonostante il tradimento della guida Davis e tante insidie, Testa di Pietra è sempre all'altezza della situazione; grazie alla sua forza riesce a sconfiggere in un duello a colpi d'ascia il capo di una tribù indiana e diventa così nientemeno che grande "sakem"! È in questa veste che incontra il suo amato baronetto William Mac-Lellan, inviato da Washington a controllare la situazione. Quest'ultimo viene anche informato della presenza molto vicina del fratellastro, il pericoloso rivale marchese d'Halifax. Infine nel castello del barone di Clairmont avviene lo scontro decisivo tra i due nobili scozzesi. La vittoria non può però che spettare al leale e generoso Mac-Lellan ed è con la morte del Marchese d'Halifax che si chiude definitivamente questo ciclo sullo fondo di un'altra vittoria: quella dell'indipendenza americana.
