“McCann sembra aver fatto voto di non scrivere neanche una riga banale.” The New York Times Opera prima di Colum McCann, Di altre rive è una raccolta di dodici racconti che sviscerano, con cruda e angosciante precisione, il tema della perdita. Con un coraggio a tratti imprevedibile, i protagonisti di queste storie vivono incastrati nei ricordi, tra i paesi che hanno abbandonato – l’Irlanda, il Giappone – e quelli del loro presente – gli Stati Uniti, l’Inghilterra. C’è una donna che si nasconde in un bagagliaio per attraversare la frontiera degli Stati Uniti alla ricerca della sorella, diventata suora e ora ricoverata per anoressia. Ci sono madri che, dopo l’emigrazione dei figli, ne pescano di nuovi nel “fiume nero pece” mentre i padri giocano a calcio da soli. C’è un marito che colleziona quarti di dollaro sui quali la moglie dipinge. C’è un personaggio misterioso che si è rifugiato in Irlanda dopo essere sopravvissuto a Hiroshima, e ha tappezzato la sua casa di strati e strati di carta da parati. C’è un ragazzo che getta la sua bicicletta in un fiume dopo un incidente che lo ha costretto in sedia a rotelle. C’è, ancora, un pugile che è stato abbandonato dalla moglie dopo aver perso l’incontro della sua vita. Ma a unire questo vertiginoso giro di esistenze c’è l’incomprensibile capacità di lasciarsi sorprendere dalla poesia del quotidiano. Un dettaglio, un profumo nel vento o la grazia della curvatura di una strada diventano così ancore di salvezza nella tragedia umana, simboli di riscatto per restituire la complessità delle nostre esistenze.

Internationally known during her lifetime, Laura Battiferra (1523-89) was a gifted and prolific poet in Renaissance Florence. The author of nearly 400 sonnets remarkable for their subtlety, intricate narrative structure, and learned allusions, Battiferra, who was married to the prominent sculptor and architect Bartolomeo Ammannati, traversed an elite literary and artistic network, circulating her verse in a complex and intellectually fecund exchange with some of the most illustrious figures in Italian history. In this bilingual anthology, Victoria Kirkham gathers Battiferra's most essential writing, including newly discovered poems, which provide modern readers with a valuable social chronicle of sixteenth-century Italy and the courtly culture of the Counter-Reformation.

Syriac Christianity spread along the Silk Road together with Aramaic culture and liturgy. Because of this, the staging posts of Christian merchants along the trade routes grew into missionary centers. Thus, the mission of the Church of the East stretched from Persia to Arabia and India, and from the Oxus River to the Chinese shores. This book contains a collection of studies on the Church of the East in its historical setting. It sheds new light on this subject from various perspectives and academic disciplines, providing fresh insights into the rich heritage of Syriac Christianity. (Series: orientalia - patristica - oecumenica - Vol. 5)

Anyone interested in the history of Eritrea, Ethiopia, or Italian and British Imperialism will learn much from this book. It gives the full texts of the treasure-house of unpublished documents on which the same author's Lords of the Red Sea was based. These documents were produced at the end of the 19th century by the Italian administrators in Eritrea who dealt with the local nomads. These young officers became intrigued by the society and history of the highly developed Habab tribe, even as they became part of that history, replacing loose hegemony with direct sovereignty. Their records document not only their own important role in the "Scramble for Africa" but also the whole culture and historical memory of a fascinating society.

Partendo da un'analisi dell'antica tradizione e della dottrina segreta dei Rosacroce, l'autore ne approfondisce lasimbologia più occulta attraverso alcuni aforismi fondamentali e l'interpretazione della loro rappresentazione grafica. Tra gli altri argomenti, esamina l'unità della materia, i piani di coscienza, la metempsicosi e i sette principi cosmici che governano l'Universo. Tali principi si rifanno alla tradizione alchemica più classica il cui insegnamento per analogia viene ripreso da Magus Incognito. "Così in alto, come in basso", durante il proprio soggiorno sulla terra, l'anima umana progredisce in una sequenza il cui moto si evolve a forma di spirale e che conduce verso la propria evoluzione e liberazione. Illustrato con i 12 simboli dei Rosacroce.

Chiara Matraini (1515–1604?) was a member of the great flowering of poetic imitators and innovators in the Italian literary heritage begun by Petrarch, cultivated later by the lyric poet Pietro Bembo, and supplanted by the epic poet Torquato Tasso. Though without formal training, Matraini excelled in a number of literary genres popular at the time—poetry, religious meditation, discourse, and dialogue. In her midlife, she published a collection of erotic love poetry, but later in life her work shifted toward a search for spiritual salvation. Near the end of her life, she published a new poetry retrospective. Mostly available in only a handful of rare book collections, her writings are now adeptly translated here for an English-speaking audience and situated historically in an introduction by noted Matraini expert Giovanna Rabitti. Selected Poetry and Prose allows the poet to finally take her place as one of the seminal authors of the Renaissance, next to her contemporaries Vittoria Colonna and Laura Battiferra, also published in the Other Voice series.
