Ludovico Roncalli, dottorando in Lettere, è un ventottenne della Genova bene che ha trovato nella ricerca universitaria la conferma più fedele della cialtronaggine nazionale, nella famiglia un perenne esercizio di sadomasochismo, e nei coetanei – carrieristi o emarginati che siano – la testimonianza di un gigantesco fallimento generazionale. Erotomane per disperazione, prossimo al baratro dell’alcolismo, Ludovico vive l’unica autentica complicità nella sorella minore Umberta, alla quale lo lega una reciproca e impossibile attrazione incestuosa. Quando si metterà sulle tracce di un testo andato perduto (la fine di un romanzo utopico scritto da Cyrano de Bergerac), crederà che dalla letteratura possa iniziare il suo riscatto professionale e quindi umano. Peccato che l’estate in cui si svolge la vicenda sia quella del 2001: la follia del G8 genovese sconvolgerà la città e ogni progetto di Ludovico.Esordio di uno scrittore dalla voce già pienamente originale e matura, capace di incastrare comico e tragico in una trama avvincente, La fine dell’altro mondo è insieme la creazione di un personaggio indimenticabile e il feroce de profundis alzato a un’epoca che non è stata all’altezza nemmeno dei suoi più modesti proponimenti.

Local-level pilgrimages, when based on strong expressions of faith, can have a much wider local, regional and international appeal. It has been estimated that pilgrims and religious tourists number around 330 million per year, meaning development of these faith identities can help drive destination visitation and regional development. This book explores the central role of ordinary people in the popularisation of faith-based practices, thus illustrating religious tourism as an expression of cultural identity. An invaluable review of cultural identity and faith, this book delivers to scholars, students and local policy makers a collection of current perspectives on the growth, development and evolution of faith practices surrounding contemporary and historical sites and saints.

The articles in this volume highlight the fact that the chivalric novel Tirant lo Blanc – written in Valencia by Joanot Martorell in the 15th century and translated into Italian in the 16th century – keeps being relevant in both the Italian and the Iberian Peninsulas, so closely related in past and present. The knight Joanot Martorell wrote a classic of universal literature despite the fact that he belonged to a minority culture. Nowadays, after having been translated into numerous languages, it is studied in many European and American universities and elicits great interest among researchers, as proven by the contributions included in this book.

An extensive look at the cartography and folklore of the afterlife worlds as seen by our ancestors • Examines how ancient European cultures viewed the beyond, including the Blessed Isles of early Greek and Celtic faith, the Hebrew Sheol, Hades from Homer’s Odyssey, Hel and Valhalla of the Norse, and the Aralu of Babylon • Shows how medieval accounts of journeys into the Other World represent the first recorded near-death experiences • Connects medieval afterlife beliefs and NDE narratives with shamanism, looking in particular at psychopomps, power animals, the double, the fetch, and what people bring back from their journeys to the spirit realms Charting the evolution of afterlife beliefs in both pagan and medieval Christian times, Claude Lecouteux offers an extensive look at the cartography and folklore of the afterlife worlds as seen by our ancestors. Exploring the locations and topographies of the various forms taken by Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, he examines how ancient European cultures viewed the beyond, including the Blessed Isles of early Greek and Celtic faith, the Hebrew Sheol, the pale world of Hades from Homer’s Odyssey, Hel and Valhalla of the Norse, and the Aralu of Babylon, the land where nothing can be seen. The author also explores beliefs in Other Worlds, lands different from our own that are not the afterlife but places where time flows differently and which are inhabited by fantastic or supernatural beings such as fairies or dwarfs. Sharing medieval tales of journeys into the beyond, Lecouteux shows how these accounts represent the first recorded near-death experiences (NDEs) and examines how they compare with modern NDE narratives as well as the work of NDE researchers like Raymond Moody. In addition, he also explores tales of out-of-body experiences, dream journeys, and travels made by a double or fetch and connects these narratives with shamanism, looking in particular at psychopomps, power animals, and what people bring back from their journeys to the spirit realms. Analyzing the afterlife beliefs of the Middle Ages as a whole, Lecouteux concludes with a collection of medieval afterlife-related traditions, such as placing polished stones in the coffin so the departed soul can find its way back to friends and family at those times of the year when the veil between the worlds grows thin.

This volume brings together a variety of approaches to the different ways in which the role of animals was understood in ancient Greco-Roman myth and religion, across a period of several centuries, from Preclassical Greece to Late Antique Rome. Animals in Greco-Roman antiquity were thought to be intermediaries between men and gods, and they played a pivotal role in sacrificial rituals and divination, the foundations of pagan religion. The studies in the first part of the volume examine the role of the animals in sacrifice and divination. The second part explores the similarities between animals, on the one hand, and men and gods, on the other. Indeed, in antiquity, the behaviour of several animals was perceived to mirror human behaviour, while the selection of the various animals as sacrificial victims to specific deities often was determined on account of some peculiar habit that echoed a special attribute of the particular deity. The last part of this volume is devoted to the study of animal metamorphosis, and to this end a number of myths that associate various animals with transformation are examined from a variety of perspectives.

This book provides the first systematic study of the role of animals in different areas of the ancient Greek religious experience, including in myth and ritual, the literary and the material evidence, the real and the imaginary. An international team of renowned contributors shows that animals had a sustained presence not only in the traditionally well-researched cultural practice of blood sacrifice but across the full spectrum of ancient Greek religious beliefs and practices. Animals played a role in divination, epiphany, ritual healing, the setting up of dedications, the writing of binding spells, and the instigation of other ‘magical’ means. Taken together, the individual contributions to this book illustrate that ancient Greek religion constituted a triangular symbolic system encompassing not just gods and humans, but also animals as a third player and point of reference. Animals in Ancient Greek Religion will be of interest to students and scholars of Greek religion, Greek myth, and ancient religion more broadly, as well as for anyone interested in human/animal relations in the ancient world.

Bestie, cose, persone. Moralità poetiche e narrative nella letteratura italiana. Per la prima volta in Italia, una ricchissima antologia di favole, apologhi, bestiari, parabole, raccontini della letteratura italiana: preziosi capolavori di scrittori contemporanei, ma anche di protagonisti della nostra storia letteraria. Scritture brevi, di una riga o poche pagine, in poesia e in prosa, che hanno un obiettivo: sono testi che vogliono insegnare qualcosa, in modo serio, ironico, polemico, sarcastico, attraverso piccole storie esemplari, per lo più interpretate da animali. La fortuna della millenaria tradizione favolistica di Esopo, Fedro e La Fontaine; la sua ascesa, il suo tramonto, la sua perenne rinascita attraverso una serie di grandi autori che hanno rivolto al genere attenzione saltuaria (come Dante, Petrarca, Giordano Bruno) e di classici della favola: da Carlo Emilio Gadda, Italo Calvino, Gianni Rodari, Luigi Malerba indietro, attraverso Giovanni Pascoli e Federigo Tozzi, fino a Leon Battista Alberti e Leonardo da Vinci. Un percorso letterario di piacevolissima lettura e un eloquente panorama storico e morale dei costumi degli italiani.
