They were the greatest and most famous rivals of the 19th century. Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner were for almost a hundred years the two pillars of opera within Europe but not only. Two immense geniuses who never met, never spoke to each other and never wrote each other a single letter. Two rivals who who gave each other dirty looks for decades, between the moments when they could barely hide the mutual admiration and the ones when they were showing off, acting like they despised each other. What if they had the chance of expressing their attitudes and opinions through the social networks? What would we have read?This book, somewhere between a biographic and a humorous work, tries to let us see Verdi, Wagner and many more great composers, bright stars in the history of music, dealing with something as modern as the social networks, playing with their human side and with the many stories that made their lives peculiar. It's a sort of simultaneous biography, since - despite their opposite directions in their art - they happened to have many things in common, starting with the year when they were born. We'll see them fighting with posts, comments and memes as weapons. From an Italian Facebook page that became very popular among music lovers, here is finally "The Social Adventures of Verdi and Wagner".

Sono stati i pi� grandi e famosi rivali del XIX secolo. Giuseppe Verdi e Richard Wagner sono stati, per quasi tutto il 1800, i due pilastri portanti della musica lirica dentro e fuori dall'europa. Due geni sconfinati che non si sono mai incontrati, non si sono mai parlati e non si sono mai scritti nemmeno una lettera. Due rivali che si sono guardati in cagnesco per decenni tra momenti di mal celata stima reciproca ed evidenti e plateali atteggiamenti di disprezzo. E se questi atteggiamenti, queste opinioni reciproche avessero potuto esprimerle apertamente attraverso il fenomeno dei social network, cosa avremmo letto? Questo libro, con intento a met� strada tra il racconto biografico e spirito goliardico, tenta proprio di immaginare Verdi, Wagner e i tanti altri grandi compositori che hanno costellato la storia della musica, alle prese con un fenomeno attuale come quello dei social network e, giocando con le loro caratteristiche umane e i tanti aneddoti che hanno costellato le loro vite, tenta una biografia parallela di questi due grandi compositori ( che a discapito dei loro opposti orientamenti musicali ed artistici, hanno avuto anche tantissime cose in comune, a cominciare dall'anno di nascita) a colpi di posts, condivisioni, commenti e meme.Direttamente da una pagina facebook che, tra i melomani pi� appassionati, ha avuto grande successo, ecco finalmente il tanto sospirato libro de "Le avventure social di Verdi e Wagner"

Religion and liberty are often thought to be mutual enemies: if religion has a natural ally, it is authoritarianism--not republicanism or democracy. But in this book, Maurizio Viroli, a leading historian of republican political thought, challenges this conventional wisdom. He argues that political emancipation and the defense of political liberty have always required the self-sacrifice of people with religious sentiments and a religious devotion to liberty. This is particularly the case when liberty is threatened by authoritarianism: the staunchest defenders of liberty are those who feel a deeply religious commitment to it. Viroli makes his case by reconstructing, for the first time, the history of the Italian "religion of liberty," covering its entire span but focusing on three key examples of political emancipation: the free republics of the late Middle Ages, the Risorgimento of the nineteenth century, and the antifascist Resistenza of the twentieth century. In each example, Viroli shows, a religious spirit that regarded moral and political liberty as the highest goods of human life was fundamental to establishing and preserving liberty. He also shows that when this religious sentiment has been corrupted or suffocated, Italians have lost their liberty. This book makes a powerful and provocative contribution to today's debates about the compatibility of religion and republicanism.

Few musical works loom as large in Western culture as Richard Wagner's four-part Ring of the Nibelung. In Finding an Ending, two eminent philosophers, Philip Kitcher and Richard Schacht, offer an illuminating look at this greatest of Wagner's achievements, focusing on its far-reaching and subtle exploration of problems of meanings and endings in this life and world. Kitcher and Schacht plunge the reader into the heart of Wagner's Ring, drawing out the philosophical and human significance of the text and the music. They show how different forms of love, freedom, heroism, authority, and judgment are explored and tested as it unfolds. As they journey across its sweeping musical-dramatic landscape, Kitcher and Schacht lead us to the central concern of the Ring--the problem of endowing life with genuine significance that can be enhanced rather than negated by its ending, if the right sort of ending can be found. The drama originates in Wotan's quest for a transformation of the primordial state of things into a world in which life can be lived more meaningfully. The authors trace the evolution of Wotan's efforts, the intricate problems he confronts, and his failures and defeats. But while the problem Wotan poses for himself proves to be insoluble as he conceives of it, they suggest that his very efforts and failures set the stage for the transformation of his problem, and for the only sort of resolution of it that may be humanly possible--to which it is not Siegfried but rather Brünnhilde who shows the way. The Ring's ending, with its passing of the gods above and destruction of the world below, might seem to be devastating; but Kitcher and Schacht see a kind of meaning in and through the ending revealed to us that is profoundly affirmative, and that has perhaps never been so powerfully and so beautifully expressed.

The extraordinary group of Russian composers who came together in St Petersburg in the 1860s - long known as 'The Mighty Handful', but, as the moguchaya kuchka, better translated as 'the great little heap' - gave rise to one of the most fascinating and colourful stories in all musical history. Stephen Walsh, author of a major biography of their direct successor, Stravinsky, has written an absorbing account of Musorgsky and his circle - Borodin, Cui, Balakirev and Rimsky-Korsakov. With little or no musical education they created works of lasting significance - Musorgsky's Boris Godunov, Borodin's Prince Igor and Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade. Written with deep understanding and panache, The Kuchka, is highly engaging and a significant contribution to cultural history.
