Mismapping the Underworld: Daring and Error in Dante's 'Comedy'
ISBN: 9780804721431 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work investigates the place of error in the moral and aesthetic system of Dante's Comedy. It argues that his delight in finely wrought patterns does not exclude an interest in patterns of disorder, and that his pursuit of harmony intensifies his interest in dissonance. The three central chapters of the book each examine a different type of error or anomaly: a mismeasured giant, a self-defeating experiment, an erring citation of Virgil. This account of Dante gives priority to wit and self-irony rather than didactic seriousness.

Commentary and Ideology: Dante in the Renaissance
ISBN: 9780822312819 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dante's "Divine Comedy" played a dual role in its relation to Italian Renaissance culture, actively shaping the fabric of that culture and, at the same time, being shaped by it. This productive relationship is examined in "Commentary and Ideology," Deborah Parker's thorough compendium on the reception of Dante's chief work. By studying the social and historical circumstances under which commentaries on Dante were produced, the author clarifies the critical tradition of commentary and explains the ways in which this important body of material can be used in interpreting Dante's poem.

Roman Poems
ISBN: 9780872861879 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Italian film-maker Pier Paolo Pasolini was first and always a poet--the most important civil poet, according to Alberto Moravia, in Italy in the second half of this century. His poems were at once deeply personal and passionately engaged in the political turmoil of his country. In 1949, after his homosexuality led the Italian Communist Party to expel him on charges of -moral and political unworthiness, - Pasolini fled to Rome. This selection of poems from his early impoverished days on the outskirts of Rome to his last (with a backward longing glance at his native Friuli) is at the...

Orphic Songs
ISBN: 9780872863408 / Włoski / Miękka / 183 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dino Campana wrote the unique, visionary masterwork of Italian literature Orphic Songs when he was in his twenties. The originality, rapturous language, and strange beauty of his poetry make him as important to twentieth-century poetry as Garcia Lorca or Mayakovsky. Campana was the wild man of Italian poetry in 1914, on the eve of World War I. The war saved some young Italians from rebellion and from Fascism, but not Campana. Always an outsider, he was a vagabond who worked now and then as a gaucho, miner, fireman, organ-grinder, janitor, circus tumbler, horse groomer, and a wandering...

Der erste Essay indes ist dem "Secretum" gewidmet, d. h. dem Theologen und dem Philosophen Petrarca. Dies hat programmatischen Charakter: Die hier versammelten Studien versuchen, einen neuen Zugang zum "Canzoniere" zu entwickeln, indem sie die Gedichte in den Kontext der Diskurse ihrer Entstehungszeit einordnen. Aufgrund des SpannungsverhAltnisses zu den geistigen StrOmungen der Epoche ergibt sich gleichwohl der Befund einer zuweilen Uberraschenden ModernitAt und auch AktualitAt des lyrischen OEuvres des Dichters. -...

Orlando Innamorato = Orlando in Love
ISBN: 9781932559019 / Angielski / Miękka / 720 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Like Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso" and Tasso's "Jerusalem Delivered," Boiardo's chivalric stories of lords and ladies first entertained the culturally innovative court of Ferrara in the Italian Renaissance. Inventive, humorous, inexhaustible, the story recounts Orlando's love-stricken pursuit of "the fairest of her sex, Angelica" (in Milton's terms) through a fairyland that combines the military valor of Charlemagne's knights with the enchantments of King Arthur's court.
