ISBN: 9780822330547 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The Manly Masquerade" unravels the complex ways men were defined as men in Renaissance Italy through readings of a vast array of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century evidence: medical and travel literature; theology; law; myth; conduct books; and plays, chivalric romances, and novellas by authors including Machiavelli, Tasso, and Ariosto.

It was also a pursuit of relationships and of a self defined in relation to others. To become independent in Renaissance Florence, one first...

The Italian Guillotine: Operation Clean Hands and the Overthrow of Italy's First Republic
ISBN: 9780847688777 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since 1992, Italy has been wracked by what has been dubbed a 'revolution, ' the destruction of the First Republic, and the launching of the Second Republic. The five parties that once governed Italy are gone; the leaders who guided Italy for forty years stand accused of corruption, many languishing in jail or exile; and numbers of politicians and businessmen committed suicide.

Yet this controversial book argues instead that the actions of this...

ISBN: 9780859897372 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Design, fine art, literature, youth culture, film and...

In 1999 Tobias Jones immigrated to Italy, expecting to discover the pastoral bliss described by centuries of foreign visitors.

Jones writes not just about Italy's art, climate, and cuisine but also about the much livelier and stranger sides of the Bel Paese: the language, soccer, Catholicism, cinema, television, and terrorism. Why, he wonders, does the parliament need a "slaughter... In 1999 Tobias Jones immigrated to Italy, expecting to discover the pastoral bliss described by centuries of foreign visitors.
