Excerpt from Stupor Mundi: The Life and Times of Frederick II, Emperor of the Romans King of Sicily and Jerusalem, 1194-1250 Amid the countless examples which History furnishes of this subjection Of kings to circumstance, there is none more striking than the career of the Emperor Frederick the Second. This magnificent prince, whom his own contemporaries regarded with amazement and hailed as the Wonder of the World, and whom a historian Of our own age has signalised as the most gifted Of the sons of man; by nature the more than peer Of Alexander, Of Constantine and Of Charles, 1 is denied by posterity the title of Great which has been frequently bestowed upon lesser men. His enlightened mind, his energy, his strength and his genius, Should have resulted in a reign Of a glory rarely paralleled in the history Of mankind. Yet through the heritage Of strife to which he succeeded, through the formidable power, the overweening ambition and the implacable hatred Of the Papacy, he was denied the part of a Builder and compelled to do the work Of an architect who seeks to maintain a crumbling edifice and uphold it against the assaults Of time. Throughout his life he was occupied in defending the rights Of the Empire against the power that assailed it, and thus he was prevented from that work Of construction which History demands of those whom she will honour with the verdict Of greatness.

THE arrogant and defiant assertion that man is the supreme controller of his own destinies can hardly be applied, even by the most rebellious intelligence, to those mortals who rule over the kingdoms of the world. However great the personality of a monarch may be, the success or failure of his reign and the magnitude of his power are governed by the temper and tendencies of his age. Our own Henry VIII owed the enjoyment of his absolute authority not primarily to his profound sagacity and dominating will, but to the fact that the men of his century were eager to secure the peace and order that a benevolent despotism brings in its train. And the unhappy Charles was the victim, not so much of his own unstable mind and wavering purpose, as of the gradual revulsion of feeling in a nation which, grown strong and self-confident under the good governance of the Tudor dynasty, was now eager to free itself from the controlling power which had led it into the haven of peace. Amid the countless examples which History furnishes of this subjection of kings to circumstance, there is none more striking than the career of the Emperor Frederick the Second. This magnificent prince, whom his own contemporaries regarded with amazement and hailed as the "Wonder of the World," and whom a historian of our own age has signalised as "the most gifted of the sons of man; by nature the more than peer of Alexander, of Constantine and of Charles,"1 is denied by posterity the title of "Great" which has been frequently bestowed upon lesser men. His enlightened mind, his energy, his strength and his genius, should have resulted in a reign of a glory rarely paralleled in the history of mankind. Yet through the heritage of strife to which he succeeded, through the formidable power, the overweening ambition and the implacable hatred of the Papacy, he was denied the part of a Builder and compelled to do the work of an architect who seeks to maintain a crumbling edifice and uphold it against the assaults of time.

La raccolta “Stupor Mundi” prende le mosse dal desiderio di sondare la sostanza misteriosa delle nostre vite: gli abbandoni, le violenze, la ricerca dell’amore, la magia degli incontri, il delitto e la sfida della migrazione. Il titolo si riferisce allo stupore che l’uomo prova dinanzi al mondo, nonostante le lacerazioni. Ma è anche la meraviglia che costituzionalmente il mondo reca in sé, nel suo dinamismo energetico. Tante le figure di uomini e donne alle prese con le ombre insite nei loro sogni, per illuminarli e renderli in tal modo realizzabili: la storia di una separazione vista in tralice da un topo-narratore che spia gli eventi dalla griglia di areazione della casa; la vicenda dell’anarchico Mario Buda (inventore dell’autobomba) raccontata dallo sguardo ingenuo della nipotina; uno stupro vendicato in una dimensione liminare tra visione e realtà; un’amante che ritrova se stessa lasciando il ruolo ancillare che si era scelta; la seduta da uno psicanalista che evoca un quadro di Chagall; un matematico in crisi esistenziale che trova “l’equazione interiore” per la spinta vitale; la migrazione di una donna che è accostata alla fisica del gatto di Schrödinger, con un “esperimento” che infine sboccia in amore. A conclusione, un addio che è rinascita, con la potente rilettura del mito di Arianna e il Minotauro. Queste ed altre storie sono pronte a vedere la luce, a creare un tessuto di immagini e di trame che l’occhio del lettore potrà cogliere in istantanee fulminanti e intense, veicolate dalla densa brevità della forma “racconto”. Una raccolta che, pur percorrendo i meandri dell’inconscio a tratti oscuro dei protagonisti, sfocia in un assoluto ottimismo esistenziale. Alessandra Gobbi nasce a Milano. Laureata in Lettere Classiche e da sempre appassionata di scrittura, trascorre la sua giovinezza tra Rimini e Bologna. Compie percorsi di studio e docenza in Inghilterra, Germania e Stati Uniti. Si dedica all’insegnamento di Lettere e Inglese nelle scuole Medie e Superiori, dove anima anche laboratori teatrali. Per diletto suona il violoncello e ama immergersi nella natura e nell’arte.
