Una ragazza bellissima, avvolta in una veste rossa come il fuoco, scalza in un campo di fiori. Sola di fronte a un uomo appena impiccato. È questa la visione che sconvolge la mente del giovane frate Ambrosius, inviato dai suoi superiori in una remota e pericolosa località delle alpi austriache. Quella splendida creatura, il suo nome è Benedicta, deve essere protetta dalle insidie della vita e il giovane Ambrosius non si sottrae alla missione. È la figlia del boia, perseguitata e irrisa da tutti per la professione del padre. Ma l'equilibrio mentale del frate deve combattere con la solitudine e una vocazione sempre più vacillante. Forse anche l'amore per Benedicta, un amore fatale. Splendida favola noir con finale a sorpresa, Benedicta, la figlia del boia è uno degli incubi più affascinanti nati dalla penna di Ambrose Bierce.

Baviera, 1659. Sulla riva di un fiume nei pressi della cittadina di Schongau viene trovato agonizzante il figlio undicenne del barconiere Grimmer. Il tempo di adagiarlo con cura a terra, di esaminargli il profondo taglio che gli squarcia la gola, di scoprire sotto la sua scapola destra uno strano segno impresso con inchiostro viola – un cerchio sbiadito dalla cui estremità inferiore parte una croce – che il bambino muore. Qualche tempo dopo i bottegai Kratz si imbattono, davanti alla porta di casa, nella macabra scoperta del loro piccolo Anton, il figlio adottivo, immerso in un lago di sangue, la gola recisa con un taglio netto. Sotto una scapola del bambino viene trovato il medesimo segno del figlio del barconiere: il cerchio di Venere che simboleggia la donna come controparte dell’uomo, la vita, ma anche la continuazione della vita dopo la morte... il simbolo delle streghe. Peter Grimmer e Anton Kratz si conoscevano. Insieme con la piccola Maria Schreevogl e altri due bambini costituivano uno sparuto gruppo di orfani che era solito frequentare Martha Stechlin, la levatrice di Schongau che vive proprio accanto ai Grimmer. Sicché quando la piccola Maria, la mattina dopo che la madre adottiva scorge, lavandola nella tinozza, il fatidico cerchio sbiadito sulla sua spalla destra, scompare al seguito di una diabolica figura con una mano di ossa, gli abitanti di Schongau non hanno dubbi: la strega assassina è la levatrice, Martha Stechlin. È lei che ha tagliato la gola ai due bambini, è lei che, con un incantesimo, ha chiamato il demonio che ha rapito Maria. Il destino di Martha Stechlin sembra così segnato. Messa nelle mani del boia di Schongau perché le sia estorta formale confessione, attende di essere spedita al rogo. Jakob Kuisl, il boia di Schongau, un gigante alto quasi due metri, la barba nera e spinosa, le lunghe dita ricurve simili ad artigli, non crede però alla colpevolezza della levatrice. E con lui non credono che la dolce Martha sia una strega anche sua figlia Magdalena, un’attraente ragazza dalle labbra carnose, le fossette sulle guance e gli occhi ridenti, e Simon Fronwieser, il figlio del medico cittadino, un giovane con la chioma fino alle spalle e il pizzetto spuntato sul mento così ben visto tra il gentil sesso di Schongau. I tre indagano per cercare di ribaltare una sentenza che sospettano sia stata scritta solo per convenienza politica e, soprattutto, per nascondere una verità inconfessabile. Una verità che, per Jakob, Simon e Magdalena, può emergere solo nel giro di una settimana, il tempo che resta prima che il rogo venga approntato. Attraverso un’impeccabile e suggestiva ricostruzione storica della società tedesca del Seicento, La figlia del boia conduce il lettore in un’epoca di superstizioni e follie collettive e delinea una stupefacente figura propria di quel mondo: il boia, un uomo temuto, emarginato e, ad un tempo, un esperto erborista e un illuminato.

This carefully crafted ebook: "ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It is considered to be one of the most important works of modernist literature, and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between its characters and events and those of the poem (the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus). Joyce divided Ulysses into 18 chapters or "episodes". At first glance much of the book may appear unstructured and chaotic; Joyce once said that he had "put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant", which would earn the novel "immortality". James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses, the short-story collection Dubliners, and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Finnegans Wake.

Based on previously unexplored archival documentation, this book offers the first general overview of the history of Italian eugenics, not limited to the decades of Fascist regime, but instead ranging from the beginning of the 1900s to the first half of the 1970s. The Author discusses several fundamental themes of the comparative history of eugenics: the importance of the Latin eugenic model; the relationship between eugenics and fascism; the influence of Catholicism on the eugenic discourse and the complex links between genetics and eugenics. It examines the Liberal pre-fascist period and the post-WW2 transition from fascist and racial eugenics to medical and human genetics. As far as fascist eugenics is concerned, the book provides a refreshing analysis, considering Italian eugenics as the most important case-study in order to define Latin eugenics as an alternative model to its Anglo-American, German and Scandinavian counterparts. Analyses in detail the nature-nurture debate during the State racist campaign in fascist Italy (1938–1943) as a boundary tool in the contraposition between the different institutional, political and ideological currents of fascist racism.

Translating Children’s Literature is an exploration of the many developmental and linguistic issues related to writing and translating for children, an audience that spans a period of enormous intellectual progress and affective change from birth to adolescence. Lathey looks at a broad range of children’s literature, from prose fiction to poetry and picture books. Each of the seven chapters addresses a different aspect of translation for children, covering: · Narrative style and the challenges of translating the child’s voice; · The translation of cultural markers for young readers; · Translation of the modern picture book; · Dialogue, dialect and street language in modern children’s literature; · Read-aloud qualities, wordplay, onomatopoeia and the translation of children’s poetry; · Retranslation, retelling and reworking; · The role of translation for children within the global publishing and translation industries. This is the first practical guide to address all aspects of translating children’s literature, featuring extracts from commentaries and interviews with published translators of children’s literature, as well as examples and case studies across a range of languages and texts. Each chapter includes a set of questions and exercises for students. Translating Children’s Literature is essential reading for professional translators, researchers and students on courses in translation studies or children’s literature.

A man falls from the fourth floor. It is the only choice he has left to stop suffering. As he falls he announces his last wish, but then his body freezes a few centimetres above the ground. A thread of light descends from above him, he clings to it, and tries to escape from the dark well of depression that has swallowed him. Aldo Amedei is a successful journalist who has lost everything, even his dreams. The past is regret, the present is populated by monsters and ghosts, but he tries to follow that thread of light, that crazy desire that kept him alive, by running the New York marathon. He doesn’t even know why he thought of it; after all, he is a man who takes his car to drive a hundred metres. He starts running, like an escaped prisoner hunted by his nightmares. He falls, he gets up, he falls again and gets back on his feet. And each time it hurts more and more. But he doesn’t let go. For love, and with the love of Teresa, his young partner. Spitting out his soul along streets full of toil, angels and vultures, he comes back to life, to passion and to dreams. He’s helped by a doctor, a unexpected coach and a grandson even crazier than himself. He becomes another person, embedding people into his heart, along with laughter, surprises and new emotions. But his enemies don’t give up, they chase him, determined to bring him back into the black well of depression. There’s everything still to play for, as in the last challenge, between life and death: the 42 kilometres and 195 metres of the New York marathon. Against the wind and against everything. From Hell to Central Park.
