Rzymskie pasje
ISBN: 9788362981526 / Polski / Twarda z obwolutą / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Najbardziej osobista książka w dorobku Hanny Suchockiej. Autorka była nie tylko premierem RP i ministrem sprawiedliwości, lecz również przez wiele lat ambasadorem Polski przy Stolicy Apostolskiej. Efektem jej pobytu w Wiecznym Mieście stała się książka poświęcona tradycji nawiedzania kościołów stacyjnych w Rzymie w okresie Wielkiego Postu. Tradycja ta sięga wczesnego chrześcijaństwa, gdy – po zagwarantowaniu wolności religijnej przez cesarza Konstantyna Wielkiego – rozpoczęło się pielgrzymowanie do Rzymu do grobów zmarłych męczenników. Z czasem na każdy dzień...

'Our Own Fair Italy'; Nineteenth Century Women's Travel Writing and Italy 1800-1844
ISBN: 9783039110285 / Angielski / Miękka / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study proposes that in their writing about the region, women travel writers made a significant contribution to the changing representation of Italy and to their own changing reputation as professional writers. Between 1800 and 1844 there was a significant shift in the way in which Italy was both perceived and discussed as the tradition of the Grand Tour waned and new types of travellers made trips to Europe. Encouraged by changes in the cost, ease and motivations for travel, unprecedented numbers of women travelled to Italy and published their accounts. Focussing on the pivotal works of...

This book explores the social history of contemporary Italian art with a focus on its relation to theories of national identity, cultural inheritance, and baroque historiography. Its scope encompasses Fascism s involvement in the visual arts in the first half of the twentieth century and the regime s deployment of the avant-garde as well as Italy s interwar cultural isolation and Informale s experimental works.

National Belongings: Hybridity in Italian Colonial and Postcolonial Cultures
ISBN: 9783039119653 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Scholars of Italian colonialism have been reluctant to acknowledge the influence that local populations and their culture had on Italians and on the ways in which they settled and administered the territories they occupied. This tendency has reinforced the notion that the European domination of Africa was total both culturally and politically. Yet there is evidence to suggest that in every sphere of colonial life, the relationship between colonizers and colonized was more dynamic and complex than has been assumed.

Italy Meets Africa: Colonial Discourses in Italian Cinema
ISBN: 9781433108686 / Angielski / Twarda / 145 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the past few decades, Italian colonial cinema has proved to be a compelling area to explore artistic productions born during the colonial and fascist periods whose unique ideology shifted from propaganda to fiction. The films produced during the Italian colonial intervention in Africa, which lasted roughly seventy-five years, reflect cinema s recollection of political beliefs and its aesthetic attention to colonialism while exposing its ideological contradictions. Italian colonial films mirror imperial ideology influenced by a racial hierarchy that was acted upon during the colonization...

Politics, Patriotism and Language: Niccolò Machiavelli's «Secular Patria» and the Creation of an Italian National Identity
ISBN: 9780820472751 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Niccolo Machiavelli may not have been a cynical realist as he is often portrayed. On the contrary, this book argues that he precociously possessed the characteristics of an impassioned, sometimes misguided idealist, obsessed with the idea of Italian unification, but blinded to the practicalities of attaining that goal. William J. Landon suggests that these characteristics may help to explain his appeal to Italy s -Risorgimento- founders. This interdisciplinary volume, which also contains the first translation of a -Discourse or Dialogue Concerning our Language- since 1961, works well as a...

Federico Fellini: Painting in Film, Painting on Film

Aldouby employs an innovative pictorial approach that allows her to uncover a wealth of visual evocations overlooked by Fellini scholars over the years.

The Most Tenacious of Minorities: The Jews of Italy
ISBN: 9781618112446 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since arriving in Rome more than 2,000 years ago, the Jewish communities of Italy have retained their identity over millennia. This book traces the foundations of their community, focusing on their economic, intellectual, and social lives as they moved between northern and southern Italy. Over the centuries these localized Italian groups were reinforced with the arrival of German, Provencal, Sephardic, and--most recently--Ashkenazi and Middle Eastern Jews. Surviving religious persecution, ghetto-ization, and the Holocaust, the Jews contributed to Italian society when they could. Supplemented...

ISBN: 9780195315899 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Year of Four Emperors, so the ancient sources assure us, was one of the most chaotic, violent, and frightening periods in all Roman history. It was a time of assassinations and civil war, of armies so out of control that they had no qualms about occupying the city of Rome, and of ambitious men who ruthlessly seized power only to have it wrenched from their grasps.
In 69 AD, Gwyn Morgan offers a fresh look at this period, based on two considerations to which insufficient attention has been paid in the past. First, that we need to unravel rather than cherry-pick between the conflicting...
