Porta, Leopardi, Cesare Cantù, Nievo, Valera, Slataper, Saba, Quasimodo, Pozzi, Pasolini, Fenoglio, Calvino: a questi autori della nostra letteratura – oltre che alle poetiche del neorealismo – sono dedicati i saggi e i ritratti qui riuniti per la prima volta in volume. Alcuni scritti risalgono ad anni che sembrano ormai lontani, ma conservano un forte grado di attualità grazie all’importanza stessa dei testi analizzati e alla dirimente originalità delle interpretazioni. Scelte stilistiche e strutturali, svolte ideologiche e vicende editoriali vengono illustrate nella loro specificità esemplare, senza che venga mai perso di vista il quadro complessivo da cui trassero motivazione; il giudizio storico ed estetico si fonda sulla ricostruzione di una trama di rapporti culturali e psicologici assai ramificata, non di rado sorprendente. Di Porta si scoprono le svolte anche ideologiche, i Canti leopardiani vengono riletti alla luce dell’ordinamento complessivo in cui vennero calati, nei romanzi di Cantù si colgono tensioni e contraddizioni finora sottovalutate, la nascita delle Confessioni di Nievo viene posta in rapporto con la crisi del mazziniano Partito d’Azione, delle aspre denunce che innervano la narrativa uscita dalla penna dello scapigliato Valera si indagano cause, virtù, limiti … Diversa l’impostazione dei singoli pezzi, costante la ricerca di una chiarezza espositiva che prescinda da lungaggini e da inutili tecnicismi. Il critico si pone al servizio del lettore, mira a coinvolgerlo nel colloquio con personalità e opere che ci offrono un viatico prezioso: interrogativi e risposte che riguardano la convivenza civile non meno che la nostra esistenziale inquietudine.

Italo Calvino (1923-1985) sosteneva che la biografia di uno scrittore è priva di interesse, contano solo le sue opere. E in effetti ebbe sempre un rapporto complesso - nevrotico, lo descrisse - con la biografia, frutto di una personalità schiva e introversa. Eppure sono pochi gli autori per i quali, come per Calvino, la produzione letteraria si sovrappone alla vita con tanta costanza e coerenza. I romanzi e i racconti del dopoguerra sono specchio della sua esperienza di partigiano e del suo impegno politico, così come l'evoluzione verso una narrativa fantastica e sempre più sperimentale è frutto delle riflessioni sugli eventi storici, dei viaggi, dei variegati incontri degli anni successivi; e lo sguardo analitico e descrittivo della sua prosa è influenzato dalla formazione scientifica dei genitori. Autore prolifico e multiforme, resistente a ogni classificazione di genere o di corrente letteraria, Italo Calvino è al centro di questa biografia brillante e documentatissima, risultato di un decennio di ricerche negli archivi e di colloqui con chi lo conobbe. Antonio Serrano Cueto ricostruisce con precisione di dettaglio le vicende biografiche di Calvino, offrendo tra l'altro anche una lettura critica dell'intera opera di uno scrittore che, come le sue splendide città dagli evocativi nomi di donna, aspirava a essere invisibile.

Although throughout history women had been confined to enclosed spaces, the advent of courtly life and culture required that men and women would share and interact in public arenas like the princely courts, intellectual salons, or gambling houses. But also in all of these public spaces behavioral rules and regulations aimed to control women’s body by equating honesty with chastity. In this monograph I analyze how in the XVI, XVII, and XVIII centuries women in general, and in particular prostitutes and courtesans, repeatedly challenged those rules in the attempt to affirm their individual freedom. I call this behavior «social amphibology », as just like amphibians these women were able to cross class boundaries and thrive in different social environments. My analysis has three complementary approaches. First, an historical approach where census documents and sumptuary laws are investigated in order to describe the ways in which the political establishment unsuccessfully attempts to enforce its rules over women’s behavior. Second, a literary approach where works by Castigione, Aretino, Bandello, and Veronica Franco are analyzed in order to emphasize the terminological proximity between the legal and the literary languages, and the evolution of the term «courtesan» with its attribute «honest». A third – visual – approach looks at prints of women’s clothing, made by XVI and XVII century artists.The iconographic similarity of all of the images requires a set of rubrics or labels, as a way to control such visual amphibology. In the last segment of this monograph I apply a diachronic perspective to these visual representations as I show how contemporary art historians use the same means of categorization, used in previous centuries, to identify – without any definite proof – paintings and prints included in two recent art exhibitions.

This collection of essays explores the reception of classics and translation from modern languages as two different, yet synergic, ways of engaging with literary canons and established traditions in 20th-century Italy. These two areas complement each other and equally contribute to shape several kinds of identities: authorial, literary, national and cultural. Foregrounding the transnational aspects of key concepts such as poetics, literary voice, canon and tradition, the book is intended for scholars and students of Italian literature and culture, classical reception and translation studies. With its two shifting focuses, on forms of classical tradition and forms of literary translation, the volume brings to the fore new configurations of 20th-century literature, culture and thought.

She uncovers the apparent contradiction that while Calvino repeatedly advocated - throughout his career of forty-plus years - a precise language, this call for precision did not extend to erotic subject matter, where Calvino sometimes felt that "direct representation" was virtually impossible. Gabriele finds that in Calvino the challenge of erotic representation is linked to the complexity of the writer's role, especially as articulated in Calvino's famous article, "Cibernetica e fantasmi."

Fifty-five fictional cities, each described in beautiful detail - each with a woman's name... In Invisible Cities Marco Polo conjures up cities of magical times for his host, the Chinese ruler Kublai Khan, but gradually it becomes clear that he is actually describing one city: Venice. As Gore Vidal wrote 'Of all tasks, describing the contents of a book is the most difficult and in the case of a marvellous invention like Invisible Cities, perfectly irrelevant.' This is a captivating meditation on culture, language, time, memory and the nature of human experience. 'Invisible Cities changed the way we read and what is possible in the balance between poetry and prose... The book I would choose as pillow and plate, alone on a desert island' Jeanette Winterson 'Touches inexhaustibly on the essence of the human urge to create cities, be in cities, speak of cities' Guardian 'A subtle and beautiful meditation' Sunday Times

Few recent writers have been as interested in the cross-over between texts and visual art as Italo Calvino (1923-85). Involved for most of his life in the publishing industry, he took as much interest in the visual as in the textual aspects of his own and other writers' books. In this volume twenty international Calvino experts, including Barenghi, Battistini, Belpoliti, Hofstadter, Ricci, Scarpa and others, consider the many facets of the interplay between the visual and textual in Calvinos works, from the use of colours in his fiction to the influence of cartoons, from the graphic qualities of the book covers themselves to the significance of photography and landscape in his fiction and non-fiction. The volume is appropriately illustrated with images evoked by Calvino's major texts.

"Although never named as such, the landscape of Sanremo was a visual source for Calvino's fiction. This recurring theme provides both a link between some very different works and an insight into the autobiographical dimension of an author whose attitude to privacy is protective but detached. This work is an analysis of the criteria of representative (and of representational distortion) of a descriptive motif."
