Talvolta si ritiene che la civiltà occidentale abbia avuto origine nel Mediterraneo: in Grecia e, poi, a Roma: non è così. E si stupisce chi scopre che la nostra storia comincia 3000 anni prima della nascita di Cristo, nel territorio della Mesopotamia, tra i fiumi Tigri ed Eufrate, e che quel territorio coincide con l'attuale Iraq e con le aree vicine. Arcangelo Mafrici ha pubblicato per i nostri tipi: Antologia, Fra memoria e attesa, Globalizzazione agricola e libertà di mercato, Gli animali raccontano, L'Universo e l'atomo, Magia del mito greco. È stato ideatore e coautore de La Confagricoltura nella storia d'Italia (Il Mulino). Ha presieduto e diretto organismi economici e organizzazioni di impresa, nazionali e locali. È stato direttore generale della Confagricoltura e consigliere del CNEL (Consiglio Nazionale dell'Economia e del Lavoro). Da sempre cultore di storia, letteratura e attualità scientifica. We sometimes think Arcangelo Mafrici that western civilization started in the Mediterranean: in Greece and then in Rome. It didn't. We are amazed when we discover that our history started 3000 years before the birth of Christ, in Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and the Euphrates, an area now occupied by Iraq and neighbouring countries. Arcangelo Mafrici has published in our collections: Antologia, fra memoria e attesa, Globalizzazione agricola e libertà di mercato, Gli animali raccontano, L'Universo e l'atomo, Magia del mito greco. He is the planner and co-author of La Confagricoltura nella storia d'Italia (Il Mulino). He has chaired and directed economic bodies and national and regional enterprises. He has been Director General of Confagricoltura and Counsellor for CNEL (National Council of Economy and Labour). His interests include history, literature and science.

Giacomo Meyerbeer, one of the most important and influential opera composers of the nineteenth century, enjoyed a fame during his lifetime hardly rivalled by any of his contemporaries. This ten volume set provides in one collection all the operatic texts set by Meyerbeer in his career. The texts offer the most complete versions available. Each libretto is translated into modern English by Richard Arsenty; and each work is introduced by Robert Letellier. In this comprehensive edition of Meyerbeer's libretti, the original text and its translation are placed on facing pages for ease of use. The eleventh volume presents the fourth of Meyerbeer’s grands opéras, and his final work. By 1860 long-imposed labor had started to tell upon the composer’s health: he knew that he must concentrate on the “navigator project” which he had started twenty years earlier if he intended to finish it. Meyerbeer died on 2 May 1864, the day after the completion of the copying of the full score of this his last opera, Vasco da Gama. Minna Meyerbeer and César-Victor Perrin, the director of the Opéra, entrusted the editing of a performing edition to the famous Belgian musicologist François-Joseph Fétis, while the libretto was revised by Mélesville. The original title of L’Africaine was restored out of deference to public expectation. Much of the music and action was suppressed, in spite of the strain this inflicted on the internal logic of the story. While L'Africaine is not lacking in the grandeur of statement and stirring climaxes for which the composer was so famous, there is a new intimacy, a new intensity of melancholic lyricism. Like its famous predecessors, it is basically an historical work, derived from the period of sixteenth-century Renaissance. The account of Vasco da Gama's voyage of discovery around the Cape of Good Hope and conquest of Calicut (1497-98) is subjected to a fictional treatment that raises many interesting issues. The framework is historical, but most of the characters and course of action are not; in fact the end of the opera, in the suicide of the heroine, suddenly leaves the terra firma of reality, and transports us into the mystical realms of the spirit. It is this mixture of modes that is central to the dramaturgy of L'Africaine, a confusion of history and fairytale, ancient certainties and challenging discoveries, in the creation of a new mythology. There is also originality in formal developments, with the great tenor scene in act 4 providing a new malleability in handling the constraints of shape and genre: recitative, arioso and cabaletta have a fluent integration in trying to explore the text more pointedly. L’Africaine was produced on 28 April 1865, a great posthumous tribute to its famous creators. The Ship Scene, the exotic Indian act, and the Scene of the Manchineel Tree exerted a fascination on audiences, and elicited new praise. The work full of melodic beauty and rapturous lyricism, began a triumphal progress through the world, beginning with the big stages of London and Berlin.

This bestselling, seminal book - a general survey of Europe in the era of `Rennaisance and Reformation' - was originally published in Denys Hay's famous Series, `A General History of Europe'. It looks at sixteenth-century Europe as a complex but interconnected whole, rather than as a mosaic of separate states. The authors explore its different aspects through the various political structures of the age - empires, monarchies, city-republics - and how they functioned and related to one another. A strength of the book remains the space it devotes to the growing importance of town-life in the sixteenth century, and to the economic background of political change.

"The ancient Phoenician civilization is still shrouded in mystery. Scholars question when the Phoenicians became powerful, where they came from, and how they came to be such brilliant navigators and merchants that they colonized much of the Mediterranean rim. This detailed study of the Phoenicians is filled with important essays and illustrations that trace the rise and fall, the art and customs, the trade and exploration, and the rich legacy of this fascinating culture." -- Publisher's description.

The first kings of the Achaemenid Persian empire, Cyrus the Great and Darius,sought to devise for their capital cities new styles in monumental architecture and sculpture to express their imperial status and mastery of the known world. With no local tradition to guide designers, a homogeneous style was created from the example of the many new subjects - Ionian Greeks, Lydians, Mesopotamians, and Egyptians. This book traces these sources and explores the way that traditional Achaemenid motifs, if not styles, also permeated the empire. The Achaemenid Persian experiment was unique in antiquity, and it was successful for as long as the empire lasted. Even after Alexander the Great brought about its downfall, it continued to influence the arts from Greece to India. This is a record of the brilliant flowering of an artificial yet unified construct, unmatched in the art of the Old World.
