"Juve, sudditanza sociologica" non va inteso come un libro sul calcio quanto piuttosto un tentativo di analizzare uno dei fenomeni sociali pi grotteschi che si siano mai verificati da quando l'uomo avvert la necessit della vita in comune. Mi riferisco al fatto che una squadra di calcio sia riuscita nell'impresa di unificare, sebbene solo attorno ad un pallone, il popolo pi sgangherato dell'intero pianeta, quando, dal Risorgimento in poi, vi hanno perso inutilmente tempo politici, intellettuali, poeti, mafiosi e persino una feroce dittatura. E' vero che anche la Juventus, nel suo indurre alla divisione tra juventini ed antijuventini, sembra riproporre quel fenomeno tipicamente italiano della lotta tra due fazioni antagoniste, eppure, dietro quest'ennesima separazione, c' una effettiva, quanto latente ed indeterminata, volont di unificazione. "Juventinit " ed "antijuventinit " sono solo le due facce di una stessa medaglia; e quella medaglia io la chiamo "astratta italianit ", ovvero "sudditanza sociologica".
Ein exemplarischer Tag aus dem Leben eines Clochards: Giuseppe, ein sozialentgleister Halbfranzose aus der Unterschicht, der nichts kann, nichts wei , vor allem aber nichts will, ist Fallbeispiel dieser Studie. Von Bambergs Kultur bleibt angesichts dessen wenig brig. Einen Novembertag lang folgt der Erz hler dem grotesk anmutenden Helden in die jeweiligen Milieus und schildert seinen Alltagskampf.
Giuseppe Mazzini - Italian patriot, humanist, and republican - was one of the most celebrated and revered political activists and thinkers of the nineteenth century. This volume is the first to compare and contrast the perception of his thought and the transformation of his image across the world. Mazzini's contribution to the Italian Risorgimento was unparalleled; he stood for a 'religion of humanity'; he argued against tyranny, and for universal education, a democratic franchise and the liberation of women. The papers in this volume reflect the range of Mazzini's political thought, discussing his vision of international relations, his concept of the nation and the role of arts in politics. And they detail how his writings and reputation influenced nations and leaders across Europe, the Americas, and India. Linking the study of political history to the history of art, literature and religion, this volume is essential reading for all those interested in modern nationalism and the history of democracy.
On leaving the idyllic mountain setting overlooking the splendour of Lake Maggiore where he has grown up, in order to pursue his operatic training in the bustling city of Milan, Giuseppe could never have imagined the dramatic circumstances that would lead him through Florence, Venice, Baden-Baden in Germany, and across the Atlantic to Philadelphia.Set primarily in Italy in the 1950s, this is the story of an extraordinarily talented young man who, endowed with a great natural voice, eventually fulfils his dream of becoming a successful tenor singer. It conjures up the world of opera, vividly portraying the personal and professional lives of singers. Through keen observation and lively dialogue, we get to know a range of fascinating characters from all strata of society.You don't have to be a lover of opera to enjoy this book, but reading it may lead you in that direction!

Giuseppe Pitrè, a nineteenth-century Sicilian physician, gathered an enormous wealth of folk and fairy tales as he traveled and treated the poor throughout Palermo. He also received tales from friends and scholars throughout the island of Sicily. A dedicated folklorist, whose significance ranks alongside the Brothers Grimm, he published a 25-volume collection of Sicilian folk tales, legends, songs, and customs between 1871 and 1914. Though first published in their original Sicilian dialect, these tales have never before been translated, collected, and published in English until now. This historic two-volume set collects 300 and 100 variants of his most entertaining and most important folk and fairy tales, along with lively, vivid illustrations by Carmelo Lettere. In stark contrast to the more literary ambitions of the Grimms' tales, Pitré’s possess a charming, earthy quality that reflect the customs, beliefs, and superstitions of the common people more clearly than any other European folklore collection of the nineteenth century. Edited, translated, and with a critical introduction by world-renowned folk and fairy tale experts Jack Zipes and Joseph Russo, this collection will firmly establish Pitrè’s importance as a folklorist.
James Hepokoski provides a reliable summary of what is currently known about Otello, along with an interpretation of the significance of the work within Verdi's career. The book begins with a detailed synopsis which interweaves some of the specific stage action from the 1887 Milanese première. There follows a close consideration of how the opera was actually written: Arrigo Boito's derivation of the libretto from Shakespeare and the subsequent textual revisions; Verdi's composition of the opera from 1884 to 1887 and an overview of the revisions of the opera for Venice in 1887 and Paris in 1894. A further chapter outlines Verdi's own ideas for the performance of Otello and this is followed by William Ashbrook's summary of the opera's stage history up to the present. Professor Hepokoski continues by suggesting a new model for understanding the musical structure of Otello. The book concludes with a study of the opera as a work of Shakespearean adaptation.
