Leviathan Song

The final frontier is conquered. Space is taken and being taken. But at what cost? And how? Once men sought to fly like birds. Now, they fly faster than the light of the sun. But were we really meant to go so fast? So far? So high? When does Icarus fall? In the strange and alien landscape of the warp, hyperspace, the space between spaces, men see visions, hear songs, and some never return. Those who do, sometimes see giant planets of gas and hydrogen, and hear murmured lullabies. Always before us lie the stars, and always behind, Earth. Which will we choose? A lifelong student of fantastical literature of all kinds, Aleksandr grew up fascinated with astronomy and the imagery inherent to space stories and science fiction.The stories of interstellar travel, and the perils of venturing from earth, the vast expanses of endless gemstone stars in the black vaults of space, these are the passions brought forth in this narrative. Inspired by stories such as Herbert's Dune, where the travel through the stars involves visions, and the mystical, combined with a love for the oldest traditions of literature, with all its tragedy and victory, led to this tale.

Food and drink has been a focal point of modern social theory since the inception of agrarian capitalism and the industrial revolution. From Adam Smith to Mary Douglas, major thinkers have used key concepts such as identity, exchange, culture, and class to explain the modern food system. Food, Politics, and Society offers a historical and sociological survey of how these various ideas and the practices that accompany them have shaped our understanding and organization of the production, processing, preparation, serving, and consumption of food and drink in modern societies. Divided into twelve chapters and drawing on a wide range of historical and empirical illustrations, this book provides a concise, informed, and accessible survey of the interaction between social theory and food and drink. It is perfect for courses in a wide range of disciplines.

Alessandro Manzoni LA RIVOLUZIONE FRANCESE

Alessandro Manzoni LA RIVOLUZIONE FRANCESE

Raffaele Astrua

Lulu.com
2018
nidottu
La Rivoluzione francese del 1789 e la Rivoluzione italiana del 1859, saggio comparativo di Alessandro Manzoni: e il titolo originale di quest'opera del grande scrittore italiano, edita postuma e non rivista dall'autore. La mancata diffusione e conoscenza di questo studio dipendono certamente, oltre che dal suo essere incompleto, dal contenuto esplicitamente avverso alla Rivoluzione francese e ai cambiamenti che essa ha portato nella Storia. Episodi chiave, come quello della presa della Bastiglia, vengono correttamente ridimensionati e demitizzati dall'acuta analisi di Manzoni, maestro nell'applicare il metodo scientifico all'indagine storica, e lucido osservatore della presunzione e della fragilita umana. La nuova edizione, che riporta in appendice sia la Dichiarazione d'indipendenza degli Stati Uniti d'America sia la Dichiarazione dei Diritti dell'Uomo e del Cittadino, si e arricchita di numerose note esplicative, per meglio conoscere personaggi, luoghi e vicende citate da Manzoni.

Alessandro Manzoni, Two Plays

Alessandro Manzoni, Two Plays

Alessandro Manzoni

-I would have gone down on my knee before him if we were allowed to worship men.- With these words Giuseppe Verdi described his first impulse upon meeting Alessandro Manzoni in Milan in June 1868. Many readers are familiar with Manzoni's great novel, "The Betrothed (I Promessi Sposi)," the work that elicited Verdi's extravagant reverence for its author. Before turning to write a novel, however, Manzoni composed two plays, "The Count of Carmagnola" (1820) and "Adelchi" (1822). Both plays broke free of the constraints of the neo-classical stage, and embraced the spirit of the new Romantic drama. "Alessandro Manzoni, Two Plays" makes these tragedies available in a fresh English translation."
