Download or read book Wicked Italian written by Howard Tomb and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than just a phrasebook with a sense of humor, Wicked Italian is a cultural survival guide. Confronted with a forgetful innkeeper you'll do better than mumble an apology by learning to say Allora dormiamo nella lobby. ("In that case, we will sleep here in the lobby"). Forced to wait for your dinner you'll say: Bisogna essere Primo Ministro per essere servito qui? ("Must one be Prime Minister to get service here?") Women traveling alone will finally have the phrases they need at their fingertips, such as Contento tu ("Dream on"), Guardi che chiamo la polizia ("I'll call the police"), and Neanche se fosse l'ultimo uomo sulla terra ("Not if you were the last man on earth"). On the other hand, a chapter on "Making Love" teaches the delicate language of amore. Wicked Italian is the next best thing to being named Marcello or Sophia. Ciao!

Book Synopsis Innovation in the Italian Counter-Reformation by : Shannon McHugh
Download or read book Innovation in the Italian Counter-Reformation written by Shannon McHugh and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2020-09-18 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enduring "black legend" of the Italian Counter-Reformation, which has held sway in both scholarly and popular culture, maintains that the Council of Trent ushered in a cultural dark age in Italy, snuffing out the spectacular creative production of the Renaissance. As a result, the decades following Trent have been mostly overlooked in Italian literary studies, in particular. The thirteen essays of Innovation in the Italian Counter-Reformation present a radical reconsideration of literary production in post-Tridentine Italy. With particular attention to the much-maligned tradition of spiritual literature, the volume’s contributors weave literary analysis together with religion, theater, art, music, science, and gender to demonstrate that the literature of this period not only merits study but is positively innovative. Contributors include such renowned critics as Virginia Cox and Amadeo Quondam, two of the leading scholars on the Italian Counter-Reformation. Distributed for UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE PRESS

Book Synopsis Princes, Politics and Religion, 1547-1589 by : N. M. Sutherland
Download or read book Princes, Politics and Religion, 1547-1589 written by N. M. Sutherland and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1984-07-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period following the treaty of Cateau-Cambresis and the death of Henry II in 1559 is of crucial importance in the history of France and of Europe; yet little that is satisfactory has been written about it. To this, the work of Dr N.M. Sutherland is a notable exception. Princes, Politics and Religion, 1547-1589 brings together all her major articles, not already reprinted elsewhere, together with an introduction and two completely new contributions. While mainly focusing on the immediate origins and early decades of the French civil wars, she also deals in a wider sense with the great ideological struggle of the sixteenth century.

Book Synopsis Scandal and Reputation at the Court of Catherine de Medici by : Una McIlvenna
Download or read book Scandal and Reputation at the Court of Catherine de Medici written by Una McIlvenna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scandal and Reputation at the Court of Catherine de Medici explores Catherine de Medici's 'flying squadron', the legendary ladies-in-waiting of the sixteenth-century French queen mother who were alleged to have been ordered to seduce politically influential men for their mistress's own Machiavellian purposes. Branded a 'cabal of cuckoldry' by a contemporary critic, these women were involved in scandals that have encouraged a perception, which continues in much academic literature, of the late Valois court as debauched and corrupt. Rather than trying to establish the guilt or innocence of the accused, Una McIlvenna here focuses on representations of the scandals in popular culture and print, and on the collective portrayal of the women in the libelous and often pornographic literature that circulated information about the court. She traces the origins of this material to the all-male intellectual elite of the parlementaires: lawyers and magistrates who expressed their disapproval of Catherine's political and religious decisions through misogynist pamphlets and verse that targeted the women of her entourage. Scandal and Reputation at the Court of Catherine de Medici reveals accusations of poisoning and incest to be literary tropes within a tradition of female defamation dating to classical times that encouraged a collective and universalizing notion of women as sexually voracious, duplicitous and, ultimately, dangerous. In its focus on manuscript and early print culture, and on the transition from a world of orality to one dominated by literacy and textuality, this study has relevance for scholars of literary history, particularly those interested in pamphlet and libel culture.

Book Synopsis Border-Crossing and Comedy at the Théâtre Italien, 1716–1723 by : Matthew J. McMahan
Download or read book Border-Crossing and Comedy at the Théâtre Italien, 1716–1723 written by Matthew J. McMahan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do nationalized stereotypes inform the reception and content of the migrant comedian’s work? How do performers adapt? What gets lost (and found) in translation? Border-Crossing and Comedy at the Théâtre Italien, 1716-1723 explores these questions in an early modern context. When a troupe of commedia dell’arte actors were invited by the French crown to establish a theatre in Paris, they found their transition was anything but easy. They had to learn a new language and adjust to French expectations and demands. This study presents their story as a dynamic model of coping with the challenges of migration, whereby the actors made their transnational identity a central focus of their comedy. Relating their work to popular twenty-first century comedians, this book also discusses the tools and ideas that contextualize the border-crossing comedian’s work—including diplomacy, translation, improvisation, and parody—across time.
Book Synopsis Garibaldi the first fascist by : Marcello Caroti
Download or read book Garibaldi the first fascist written by Marcello Caroti and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2015-08-07 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italy has been the first country in history where a National Socialist regime was established. This did not happen by chance, in fact you can trace back the origins of Fascism to the Italian Risorgimento and more precisely to the person of Garibaldi. The purpose of this book is to show the readers how all this happened and to do this we must answer the following questions. Who really was Garibaldi? Was he a hero or a bandit? What has he left to the society and culture of his country? Come and find out the truth, let’s overcome the nonsense that the myth has accumulated on the man who has contributed so incisively to the birth of Italy. Let’s discover the role that Freemasonry has played in the life of Garibaldi and how Freemasonry has contributed to his success. What relationship did Garibaldi have with the Mafia? We examine the origins of this phenomenon and see how the Mafia participated to Garibaldi’s enterprises. Come and listen to the voices of the protagonists. If we read carefully their testimonies we can see how they have sown (unknowingly) the seed of a culture and of a political movement that later became Fascism. At the end, after the death of Garibaldi, let us walk together along the road that, starting from socialism, has led Italy to realize this regime.
