Book Description
Gaia è una giovane scrittrice, impegnata da ormai quattro anni con Paolo. La loro è la storia d'amore perfetta: si amano alla follia, si capiscono con uno sguardo. Si incastrano alla perfezione, come i pezzi di un puzzle. La quotidianità, però, uccide la creatività e la fantasia della ragazza che, dopo aver scoperto l'enorme segreto del suo ragazzo parte per Casoria, alla ricerca dell'affetto di uno sconosciuto. I due passano insieme diversi giorni e si innamorano. La ragazza è confusa. Da una parte ha Paolo: protezione, benessere, il ragazzo della porta accanto. Dall'altro ha Vincenzo: amore, passione. Ma anche distanza, assenza di una quotidianità. Riuscirà Gaia a perdonare il suo ragazzo, oppure resterà con lo sconosciuto che è riuscito a risvegliare il suo cuore?

From Literacy to Literature
Author: Christopher Cannon
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191084832
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
The first lessons we learn in school can stay with us all our lives, but this was nowhere more true than in the last decades of the fourteenth century when grammar-school students were not only learning to read and write, but understanding, for the first time, that their mother tongue, English, was grammatical. The efflorescence of Ricardian poetry was not a direct result of this change, but it was everywhere shaped by it. This book characterizes this close connection between literacy training and literature, as it is manifest in the fine and ambitious poetry by Gower, Langland and Chaucer, at this transitional moment. This is also a book about the way medieval training in grammar (or grammatica) shaped the poetic arts in the Middle Ages fully as much as rhetorical training. It answers the curious question of what language was used to teach Latin grammar to the illiterate. It reveals, for the first time, what the surviving schoolbooks from the period actually contain. It describes what form a 'grammar school' took in a period from which no school buildings or detailed descriptions survive. And it scrutinizes the processes of elementary learning with sufficient care to show that, for the grown medieval schoolboy, well-learned books functioned, not only as a touchstone for wisdom, but as a knowledge so personal and familiar that it was equivalent to what we would now call 'experience'.

In the past seven centuries Dante has become world renowned, with his works translated into multiple languages and read by people of all ages and cultural backgrounds.

Rudolf Steiner Speaks to the British
Author: Rudolf Steiner
Publisher: Rudolf Steiner Press
ISBN: 185584432X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
As demonstrated by the contents of this book, Rudolf Steiner was able to speak to the British in a very direct and lively way. He did not need to give a long introductory build-up to his main theme, as was expected of him in Germany for instance, but could refer immediately to esoteric ideas. The intention of this volume is to give a fuller picture of Rudolf Steiner's work in Britain, and his approach to esoteric ideas while on British soil. Although the major lecture series he gave in Britain have been previously published, this book gathers together various lectures, addresses, question-and-answer sessions, minutes of important meetings and articles - a good deal of which has been unavailable in English until now. It also features a complete list of all the lectures and addresses Steiner gave in Britain, making it a valuable reference book for students of Rudolf Steiner's work.

The Economy of Renaissance Florence
Author: Richard A. Goldthwaite
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421400596
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 668
Book Description
Winner, 2010 Phyllis Goodhart Gordan Book Prize, the Renaissance Society of America2009 Outstanding Academic Title, ChoiceHonorable Mention, Economics, 2009 PROSE Awards, Professional and Scholarly Publishing division of the Association of American Publishers Richard A. Goldthwaite, a leading economic historian of the Italian Renaissance, has spent his career studying the Florentine economy. In this magisterial work, Goldthwaite brings together a lifetime of research and insight on the subject, clarifying and explaining the complex workings of Florence’s commercial, banking, and artisan sectors. Florence was one of the most industrialized cities in medieval Europe, thanks to its thriving textile industries. The importation of raw materials and the exportation of finished cloth necessitated the creation of commercial and banking practices that extended far beyond Florence’s boundaries. Part I situates Florence within this wider international context and describes the commercial and banking networks through which the city's merchant-bankers operated. Part II focuses on the urban economy of Florence itself, including various industries, merchants, artisans, and investors. It also evaluates the role of government in the economy, the relationship of the urban economy to the region, and the distribution of wealth throughout the society. While political, social, and cultural histories of Florence abound, none focuses solely on the economic history of the city. The Economy of Renaissance Florence offers both a systematic description of the city's major economic activities and a comprehensive overview of its economic development from the late Middle Ages through the Renaissance to 1600.
