Storie sorprendenti di una città dal fascino infinito Napoli è una città che lascia sempre a bocca aperta. Un luogo talmente complesso che può risultare spaesante, spiazzante per le sue contraddizioni, ma che impegna mente e cuore alla ricerca profonda dei suoi significati più reconditi. Oltre venti secoli ci regalano aneddoti singolarissimi, dalle corse lampadiche in onore della sirena Partenope ai romanzi cavallereschi miniati nel Medioevo, dalla tragica festa della cuccagna nel Settecento, fino all’estrema pulizia della città ai tempi di Ferdinando II di Borbone. Tanti i personaggi forieri di aneddoti, da re Alfonso d’Aragona e la sua estrema battaglia coi demoni fino a Wagner che scrisse il suo Parsifal a Posillipo. Lingua e canzone napoletana hanno le loro sorprendenti storie, concetti nascosti tutti da ascoltare. Così come il cibo: dal dolce al salato sono diverse le curiosità da assaporare. Perché Napoli è una realtà che si comprende attivando tutti i sensi che abbiamo a disposizione. Napoli è l’essenza stessa della curiosità Tra le storie insolite: I romanzi cavallereschi all’ombra del Vesuvio Caravaggio e l’omaggio segreto al musicista assassino 1832: Napoli la città più pulita d’Europa Il battistero più antico d’occidente Il diavolo nascosto sulla facciata di un palazzo La villa che guarì Wagner Le scalette di Massimo Troisi Un Halloween tutto napoletano I tintinnabula segreti e l’origine della scurrilità Storie singolari della canzone napoletana La regola delle tre “c” e il trionfo del caffè Il mistero delle carte napoletane Marco Perillo è nato nel 1983.

In this magical novel a count from Milan stumbles upon a desolate community of lost noblemen on an uncharted island off the coast of Portugal. When he discovers, to his astonishment, that their ill-treated servant is in fact a maiden iguana, and then proceeds to fall in love with her, the reader is given a fantastic tale of tragic love and delusion that ranks among the most affecting in contemporary literature. "The reptilian servant is only the first in a series of fantastic touches that tansform the narrative into a satiric fable dense with the echoes of Shakespeare's 'Tempest' and Kafka's 'Metamorphosis.' . . . The Iguana is a superb performance.""€"New York Times Book Review

The ancient Greek lyric poet Simonides of Keos was the first poet in the Western tradition to take money for poetic composition. From this starting point, Anne Carson launches an exploration, poetic in its own right, of the idea of poetic economy. She offers a reading of certain of Simonides' texts and aligns these with writings of the modern Romanian poet Paul Celan, a Jew and survivor of the Holocaust, whose "economies" of language are notorious. Asking such questions as, What is lost when words are wasted? and Who profits when words are saved? Carson reveals the two poets' striking commonalities. In Carson's view Simonides and Celan share a similar mentality or disposition toward the world, language and the work of the poet. Economy of the Unlost begins by showing how each of the two poets stands in a state of alienation between two worlds. In Simonides' case, the gift economy of fifth-century b.c. Greece was giving way to one based on money and commodities, while Celan's life spanned pre- and post-Holocaust worlds, and he himself, writing in German, became estranged from his native language. Carson goes on to consider various aspects of the two poets' techniques for coming to grips with the invisible through the visible world. A focus on the genre of the epitaph grants insights into the kinds of exchange the poets envision between the living and the dead. Assessing the impact on Simonidean composition of the material fact of inscription on stone, Carson suggests that a need for brevity influenced the exactitude and clarity of Simonides' style, and proposes a comparison with Celan's interest in the "negative design" of printmaking: both poets, though in different ways, employ a kind of negative image making, cutting away all that is superfluous. This book's juxtaposition of the two poets illuminates their differences--Simonides' fundamental faith in the power of the word, Celan's ultimate despair--as well as their similarities; it provides fertile ground for the virtuosic interplay of Carson's scholarship and her poetic sensibility.

“A wonderful read—with all of a fairy tale’s leaps and turns and queer, vivid images” by the author of the international bestseller Raise the Red Lantern (The Observer). In Peach village, crying was forbidden. But as a child, Binu never learned to hide her tears. Shunned by the villagers, she faced a bleak future until she met Qiliang, an orphan who offered her his hand in marriage. Then, one day, Qiliang disappears. Binu learns that he has been transported hundreds of miles and forced to labor on a project of terrifying ambition and scale—the building of the Great Wall of China. Unwilling to live a life without him, Binu courageously decides to find and save her husband. Inspired by her love, she sets out on an extraordinary journey toward Great Swallow Mountain with only a blind frog for company. What follows is an adventure unlike any she could have ever imagined, in this “gripping, insightful . . . tragic tale of female strength and ultimately, love” (Time Out).
