Book excerpt: "A book of Hamish Fulton's text pieces that both discuss and exemplify his artwork. Fulton's spare texts originate in walks he takes through the landscape. Descriptive and at times prescriptive, he describes them as "facts for the walker and fiction for everyone else." Carefully placed on the small square pages, each aphoristic piece is simultaneously present and absent as an artwork, a fact captured by the book's subtitle: 'The separation of subject (walking) and medium (text on paper).'"--Printed Matter.

Book excerpt: A Legal Thriller about two lawyers working on opposite sides of the Channel, whose destinies are fatally intertwined. A pharmaceutical patent worth billions, a brutally murdered man and a trial that appears impossible to win. These are the facts at the centre of two young lawyers’ lives. The lives of men from two contrasting worlds whose paths criss-cross in a game of shadows and reflections. Where money and revenge mark the boundaries where enemies become allies; where there is no certainty, only doubt and suspicion. A subtle line which separates ordinary lives, from those destroyed by fear; it will be up to the two adversaries on either side of the legal fence to rise above an international plot which could endanger their careers and, perhaps, their very lives... A gripping legal thriller from the very first page. Translator: Linda Thody PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Being both costly and luxurious, bronze arguably carries the most significance of all the sculptural materials. In the Renaissance, the use of bronze embodied power, authority and eternity and emulated the classical past. Yet it was one of the easiest materials to recycle, especially when the need for artillery was often pressing. Nonetheless the Italian Renaissance was a golden age for the production of sculpture in bronze, such as Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, Verrocchio's Colleoni monument or Cellini's Perseus.0Bronze is generally defined as an alloy of copper and tin, but can contain zinc, lead and other elements. The term `bronze' is often applied to any copper-alloy sculpture. The Culture of Bronze draws on the latest research to explore the material and making of bronzes; the inter-relationships and collaboration between sculptor, founder and owner in the key centres of production, such as Florence, Padua, and the often over-looked city of Ferrara; as well as the inter-connections with Northern Europe. Encompassing works made for domestic, religious and civic environments, the book explores the symbolism of bronze, and the bronzes themselves, within their broader context in renaissance society." -- provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: Written as a kind of historical narrative in verse, the poems in this collection depict the coming of age and sexual awareness of the great Italian writer and film director, Pier Paolo Pasolini. The time of this story is World War II; the place is German-occupied northern Italy. Unlike his younger brother, Guido, who took up arms to fight in the resistance, Pasolini chose to help his mother set up a school for the boys too young to fight or be conscripted. The situation ignited an internal war for the young Pasolini that nearly eclipsed the historical moment: a battle within between his desire for boys and his Catholic faith and culture. In addition to the poems that juxtapose Pasolini’s struggle against the backdrop of political and cultural fascism, the book also includes a prologue and an epilogue that details the author’s pilgrimage to the site and her research into the time that shaped Pasolini as a man and as an artist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the fifteenth century, Cassandra Fedele (1465-1558), a learned middle-class woman of Venice, was arguably the most famous woman writer and scholar in Europe. A cultural icon in her own time, she regularly corresponded with the king of France, lords of Milan and Naples, the Borgia pope Alexander VI, and even maintained a ten-year epistolary exchange with Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain that resulted in an invitation for her to join their court. Fedele's letters reveal the central, mediating role she occupied in a community of scholars otherwise inaccessible to women. Her unique admittance into this community is also highlighted by her presence as the first independent woman writer in Italy to speak publicly and, more importantly, the first to address philosophical, political, and moral issues in her own voice. Her three public orations and almost all of her letters, translated into English, are presented here for the first time.

Book excerpt: This wide-ranging book elucidates the symbolism of veils and highlights the power of drapery in Italian art from Giotto to Titian. In the cities of the Renaissance, display of luxury dress was a marker of status. Florentines decked out their palaces and streets with textiles for public rituals. But cloths are also the stuff of fantasy: throughout the book, the author moves from the material to the metaphorical. Curtains and veils, swaddling and shrouds, evoke associations with birth and death. The central chapters address the sculpture of Ghiberti and Donatello, focusing on how they deployed drapery to dramatic effect. In the final chapters the focus shifts to the paintings of Bellini, Lotto, and Titian, where drapery both clothes the figures and composes the picture. In the work of Titian, the veiled presence of the body is absorbed within the materials of oil-paint on canvas: medium and subject become one.

Download or read book The Flying Island written by Romana Petri and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Flying Island is an account of an Italian woman's solitary stay on the Azores. The islanders are poised between their open generosity and simplicity, their traditions bordering on the magic and the supernatural; and the brute realism of the new American culture imported with returning workers who increasingly view the Azores not as home but as holiday destination. Romana Petri gives us an unsentimental account of a way of living, a view of the natural and social world under threat. Her anxious tracing of a fast-encroaching and all-consuming alien culture leads to a work of lyrical fantasy combined with acute social analysis.

Book excerpt: Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Italian and introduced by Philip Parisi. Alfonso Gatto (1909-1976) was among Italy's foremost 20th-century poets. Italo Calvino considered his work "the largest poetic testimony of the man of the Resistance, felt as an eternal and necessary human prototype. Perhaps never as in the poems of Gatto...do we discover that temperament of the day and the sentiments of the struggle." Here war, death and the search for justice are infused with beauty, metaphysical wonder and the celebration of life. The selection is drawn from ten collections, including Poesie d'amore/Love Poems (1941-1949), La storia delle vittime/History of the Victims (1962-1965), and Desinenze/Endings.
