As a pandemic swept across fourteenth-century Europe, the Decameron offered the ill and grieving a symphony of life and love. For Florentines, the world seemed to be coming to an end. In 1348 the first wave of the Black Death swept across the Italian city, reducing its population from more than 100,000 to less than 40,000. The disease would eventually kill at least half of the population of Europe. Amid the devastation, Giovanni BoccaccioÕs Decameron was born. One of the masterpieces of world literature, the Decameron has captivated centuries of readers with its vivid tales of love, loyalty, betrayal, and sex. Despite the death that overwhelmed Florence, BoccaccioÕs collection of novelle was, in Guido RuggieroÕs words, a Òsymphony of life.Ó Love and Sex in the Time of Plague guides twenty-first-century readers back to BoccaccioÕs world to recapture how his work sounded to fourteenth-century ears. Through insightful discussions of the DecameronÕs cherished stories and deep portraits of Florentine culture, Ruggiero explores love and sexual relations in a society undergoing convulsive change. In the century before the plague arrived, Florence had become one of the richest and most powerful cities in Europe. With the medieval nobility in decline, a new polity was emerging, driven by Il PopoloÑthe people, fractious and enterprising. BoccaccioÕs stories had a special resonance in this age of upheaval, as Florentines sought new notions of truth and virtue to meet both the despair and the possibility of the moment.

This book analyzes the spread of American female consumer culture to Italy and its influence on Italian women in the postwar and Cold War periods, eras marked by the political, economic, social, and cultural battle between the United States and Soviet Union. Focusing on various aspects of this culture—beauty and hygiene products, refrigerators, and department stores, as well as shopping and magazine models—the book examines the reasons for and the methods of American female consumer culture’s arrival in Italy, the democratic, consumer capitalist messages its products sought to “sell” to Italian women, and how Italian women themselves reacted to this new cultural presence in their everyday lives. Did Italian women become the American Mrs. Consumer? As such, the book illustrates how the modern, consuming American woman became a significant figure not only in Italy’s postwar recovery and transformation, but also in the international and domestic cultural and social contests for the hearts and minds of Italian women.

Inferno is the explosive, most anticipated, final book in Donna Grant's Dark Kings series featuring Con, the King of the Dragon Kings! I knew what I wanted. And nothing was going to stop me. King of Dragon Kings. Driven, ruthless, shrewd. The weight of survival for Constantine and his brethren has pushed him to set aside his own yearnings—for now. He’s the most powerful of all Dragon Kings, and Con will stop at nothing to destroy anyone who dares to threaten his existence. For years, Con has hidden his pain—his desperation—for there is one smoldering beauty that he craves above all else, even if he feels he doesn’t deserve her. However, his enemies are at every corner. There is no one left to trust. But none of that matters anymore: There is only one thing that Con wants. With this one woman by his side, he can fight for the freedom of his fellow men-in-arms. All Con has to do is get her to surrender her heart...and be his for all time.

Uno dei miti sul matrimonio è che vi renderà felici. Non è sempre vero. Un matrimonio felice dipende dalla felicità che si ha dentro e sposarsi non è necessariamente la chiave per raggiungere la beatitudine eterna. La maggior parte delle persone non è più soddisfatta della propria vita dopo il matrimonio di quanto non fosse prima del matrimonio. Perché un uomo sposato sia significativamente soddisfatto della sua vita è necessario che sua moglie diventi più soddisfatta di se stessa, e viceversa. Avere un coniuge felice può compensare grandi problemi. ‘‘Felicità e matrimonio’’ è un interessante libro di auto-aiuto al mantenimento di un sano rapporto coniugale. Vi aiuta a riflettere sui vostri errori e debolezze, e anche su quei falsi miti che spesso costituiscono la base dei vostri atteggiamenti. Riconoscere tali atteggiamenti vi renderà capaci di cambiare le carte in tavola e ritrovare il rispetto per la vostra persona. L’autrice fornisce un valido strumento per prendere maggiore coscienza del rapporto che ognuno ha con se stesso e con il proprio coniuge, sottolineando, senza retorica, l’importanza del ‘dare amore’, ancor prima del ‘ricevere amore’, osservando la realtà con gli occhi dell’altro, in uno spirito di profondo rispetto e uguaglianza. Il libro rappresenta anche una guida per tutte le aree della vita. Dai problemi di relazione con il proprio compagno, a quelli con i parenti, all’educazione dei bambini. È una lettura che fornisce risposte a molte situazioni difficili. Mostra come migliorare anzitutto il vostro stato d’animo e, quindi, il vostro matrimonio.

Fantascienza - romanzo breve (67 pagine) - Nalla sua ultima avventura Gilgamesh deve fare affidamento su due alleati molto particolari: Robert E. Howard e H.P. Lovecraft. PREMIO HUGO 1987 Anche gli eroi, i condottieri (e gli scrittori) prima o poi muoiono. Ma la loro storia non finisce lì: continua, all'Inferno. L'Inferno: un luogo senza tempo dove Giulio Cesare gira su una jeep militare, con il mitra a tracolla e due pistole ai fianchi. Dove Robert E. Howard, il creatore di Conan, incontra H.P. Lovecraft e scopre qualcosa di sé stesso. E dove entrambi incontrano il primo eroe epico dell'umanità, il sumero Gilgamesh (che Howard scambia per Conan) insieme al quale dovranno compiere un'avventura per salvare, ancora una volta, il suo amico fraterno Enkidu. Robert Silverberg è unanimemente riconosciuto come uno dei massimi autori della fantascienza contemporanea. Nato a Brooklyn (New York) il 15 gennaio del 1935, iniziò a scrivere SF d'avventura negli anni '50, diventando ben presto uno degli autori più famosi e prolifici e ottenendo il premio Hugo come autore più promettente del 1956. Durante la metà degli anni sessanta però, spinto dal desiderio di dimostrare a se stesso e agli altri le sue capacità di vero scrittore, e di essere in grado di realizzare anche opere di qualità, Silverberg impresse una svolta decisiva allo stile dei suoi romanzi, iniziando a produrre opere di maggiore impegno umano e letterario. Tra gli scritti più importanti di questo secondo periodo ricordiamo Ali della notte (con cui vinse anche un premio Hugo), Brivido crudele, Torre di cristallo, forse la sua opera più completa e riuscita, Vertice di immortali, Paradosso dei passato, e Mutazione, che si inserisce in quel gruppo di romanzi dedicati da Silverberg alla descrizione e all'esplorazione dell'esperienza mistica della trascendenza.

This edited collection focuses on how the ancient past of the city of Naples has been invented, shaped, transmitted, and received in literature, art, and material culture since the time of the city's foundation. Adopting a chronological approach, chapters examine important moments in Naples' reception history from the Roman period (when the city was already several centuries old) to the present day. Among the topics covered are representations of the city's early history and mythology in texts and temples of the Roman period; later uses of Roman spolia (marble sculptures and architectural elements) in Christian churches; the importance of antiquity to the rulers of the Angevin and Swabian periods; the appropriation of the city's classical heritage by Renaissance humanists; the image of the 'local' poets Virgil and Statius in later eras; humanist images of the ancient aqueducts and catacombs that ran beneath the city; representations of classical monuments in early modern city guides; images of ancient ruins in contemporary Catholic nativity scenes; and the archaeology and philosophy of the city's Metro system. Featuring contributions from an interdisciplinary range of scholars, this comprehensive volume provides a highly accessible point of entry into the vast bibliography on ancient Naples.

The aim of this book is to investigate the delicate relationship between female sanctity and madness, in a time-frame extending from medieval until contemporary times. Constellated by visions, ecstatic raptures, morbid rituals, stigmata and obsessions, the complex phenomenology of female mysticism appears in fact to be articulated and polymorphous, traversed by 'representations' that it seems possible to link to the wide spectrum of mental disorders, as well to the hagiographic stereotypes and anthropological implications. Male and female scholars from different disciplines (from history to philology, from anthropology to art history, from theology to literary criticism, from psychiatry to psychoanalysis) try to outline a thematic and problematic itinerary, intended to examine, step by step, potential pathological aspects and contexts of reference for the purpose of attempting to reconstruct the complex evolutionary trajectory of female mystical language.
