El ttulo de esta coleccin potica tiene menos que ver con un patriotismo explcitamente poltico que con la trayectoria de la asimilacin de su autor a las tres culturas representadas. Inmigr a Estados Unidos desde mi Piazza Armerina nativa a los seis aos de edad, para corretear en las calles y rascacielos de Nueva York. Mi madre, Salvatrice, y dos hermanos, Mara y Concetto, tardamos once das en cruzar el Atlntico a bordo del Giulio Cesare para reunirnos con nuestro padre, Filippo, quien haba hecho el viaje dos aos antes a bordo de la Bianca Mano. A los nueve meses nacera mi tercera y ms joven hermana, Roseann, la cual nos servira simblicamente para anclarnos ya defi nitivamente en nuestra nueva tierra. No sabiendo la lengua y desconociendo la cultura norteamericana el proceso de asimilacin, desde luego, fue lento y no sin sus peridicas peleas y traumas con vecinos y compaeros. No me daba cuenta entonces que estos mismos muchachos con quienes peleaba casi diariamente acabaran ms tarde siendo mis ms fi eles y queridos amigos; entre ellos Carmine Glorioso que muri, a mi misma edad de diez aos, atropellado por un coche mientras cruzaba el Sunrise Highway, en Long Island, Nueva York. Todava hoy da siento el estrecho y desesperante abrazo de un padre lloroso en la sala del funeral, como si tratara de recuperar en mi cuerpo el cuerpecito destrozado de su propio hijo ante la inevitable realidad de que dentro de pocos das tendra que devolverle a la tierra lo suyo. No hara falta decir que, despecho a mis tiernos diez aos de edad, tuve muy serias discusiones con un Dios cuya insensata y arbitraria crueldad no lograba entender en aquella poca. Hoy da agradezco a ese mismo Dios la viva presencia de Carmine, cuyo compaerismo espiritual sigue a mi lado y al cual me dirijo frecuentemente en busca de consolacin en mis momentos de mayor desolacin. Me sent atrado al espaol por primera vez en la escuela media. No recuerdo precisamente si fuera a causa de los muchachos que llegaban, como yo anteriormente, a mis clases de otras tierras para sentarse a mi lado, como especies de sordomudos, sin poder entender ni responder a las ruidosas garruleras que pretendan ser ingls, o simplemente porque el espaol me sonaba al italiano y, as, a algo por fi n familiar. De todos modos, yo me pona al servicio de estos chicos traduciendo continuamente entre ellos y los maestros. Mi capacidad como traductor ofi cial de la clase me gan algunas amistades entre los recin llegados de la tierra que habamos dejado atrs. Tambin ganaba en que estos servicios hacan que me sintiera algo menos extranjero en mi recin adoptada tierra. Termin la escuela secundaria ya decidido a ser maestro de lenguas extranjeras; ms concretamente del italiano y del espaol. Y as fue. Hoy da soy profesor de lengua y literatura espaolas en Villanova University, en Pennsylvania, casado con mi amada esposa Valerie, y con dos esplndidas y bonitas hijas Lauren y Kristen. Despecho a lo que he vivido y sufrido en este nuevo mundo, nunca he tomado por hecho el entraable reconocimiento de que todo lo que he pensado, sentido y logrado hasta el momento lo debo a esa singular decisin de mis padres de abandonar su tierra nativa para emprender aquel largo viaje a travs del Atlntico, en busca de una nueva aunque desconocida suerte en aquella tierra al otro lado del mundo; en aquella tierra de grandes promesas y oportunidades, en estos Estados Unidos de Amrica.

Borges Language And Reality written by Alfonso J. García-Osuna and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-11-23 with Literary Criticism categories.
This book brings together the work of several scholars to shed light on the Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges' complex relationship with language and reality. A critical assumption driving the work is that there is, as Jaime Alazraki has put it, 'a genuine effort to overcome the narrowness that Western tradition has imposed as a master and measure of reality' in Borges' writing. That narrowness is in large measure a consequence of the chronic influence of positivist approaches to reality that rely on empirical evidence for any authentication of what is 'real'. This study shows that, in opposition to such restrictions, Borges saw in fiction, in literature, the most viable means of discussing reality in a pragmatic manner. Moreover, by scrutinising several of the author's works, it establishes signposts for considering the truly complicated relationship that Borges had with reality, one that intimately associates the 'real' with human perception, insight and language.

There is No Road through the Woods and Only the Keeper Sees represents a continuation of the journey I began by sea on the other side of the Atlantic as I retrace, nostalgically, the footsteps of my childhood and teenage years on North American soil. It is a reflection on friends and strangershuman and animallost, some forever, deep within times bottomless wells, on the trials and tribulations of a lost innocence tinged with the melancholia of promises not kept and irreversible regrets. It also embodies the spiritual journey of a soul continually searching, not for fear of death or personal salvation, for that glimmer of light leading us toward the warm embrace of human truth, kindness, and respect, of all that binds us and envelops us in a brotherly love while each of us pursues our destined journey in this world and the next.

SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES • “A majestic, melancholy, and beautiful novel” (The New Yorker), THE LEOPARD is one of the best-selling Italian novels of the twentieth century and an acclaimed masterpiece of world literature. This beautiful hardcover edition, translated by Archibald Colquhoun, also includes two short stories and a brief memoir of the author’s childhood. Set in Sicily in the 1860s, during the tumult of Italian unification, THE LEOPARD tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, fading aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of revolution and democracy. Its author, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, who was the last in a line of Sicilian princes, wrote the novel in the 1950s, inspired by the decline of his own family. Don Fabrizio Corbera, Prince of Salina, remains skeptical and stoic as he finds himself beset by civil war, social change, and his family’s loss of wealth and status. While his beloved nephew, Tancredi, more practical and flexible than he, joins the nationalist rebels and marries the ambitious daughter of a newly rich upstart, Don Fabrizio takes refuge in his love of astronomy, gazing at the unchanging stars while the world as he has known it crumbles around him. The dramatic sweep and richness of Lampedusa’s observation, his seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and his sure grasp of human frailty imbue THE LEOPARD with its melancholy beauty and power. “No novel in Italian literature has aroused so much passion or caused so much argument… The book is more than the memorable invocation of a certain place in a certain epoch. It is a work of art that will survive, long after the last sad palaces of Palermo have gone, because it deals with the central problems of the human experience.” —from the Introduction by David Gilmour "The genius of its author and the thrill it gives the reader are probably for all time."—The New York Times Book Review "A masterwork . . . A superb novel in the great tradition and the grand manner."—Newsweek Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.

The twentieth century saw a proliferation of media discourses on colonialism and, later, decolonisation. Newspapers, periodicals, films, radio and TV broadcasts contributed to the construction of the image of the African “Other” across the colonial world. In recent years, a growing body of literature has explored the role of these media in many colonial societies. As regards the Italian context, however, although several works have been published about the links between colonial culture and national identity, none have addressed the specific role of the media and their impact on collective memory (or lack thereof). This book fills that gap, providing a review of images and themes that have surfaced and resurfaced over time. The volume is divided into two sections, each organised around an underlying theme: while the first deals with visual memory and images from the cinema, radio, television and new media, the second addresses the role of the printed press, graphic novels and comics, photography and trading cards.

This book describes the establishment, evolution, and international links of the extreme right in one of the main Western European areas. Andrea Mammone details the long journey in the development of right-wing extremism in France and Italy, emphasizing the transfer, exchange, and borrowing of ideals, personnel, and strategies, and the similarities among neofascist movements, activists, and thinkers across national boundaries from 1945 to the present day - including the Cold War years, the election of the European Parliament in 1979, and the 2014 EU elections. Mammone analyzes the adaptation of neofascism in society and politics; the building of international associations and pan-national networks; and the right-leaning responses to the defeat of fascism, European integration, decolonization, the events of 1968, immigration, and the recent EU-led austerity politics. As a book implicitly on space, borders, and belonging, it shows how some nationalisms may embody a transnational dimension and, at times, even pan-European stances.

Nationalism was ubiquitous in nineteenth-century Europe. Yet, we know little about what the nation meant to ordinary people. In this book, both renowned historians and younger scholars try to answer this question. This book will appeal to specialists in the field but also offers helpful reading for any college and university course on nationalism.
