Orson Welles in Italy
Author: Alberto Anile
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253010411
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Fleeing a Hollywood that spurned him, Orson Welles arrived in Italy in 1947 to begin his career anew. Far from being welcomed as the celebrity who directed and starred in Citizen Kane, his six-year exile in Italy was riddled with controversy, financial struggles, disastrous love affairs, and failed projects. Alberto Anile's book depicts the artist's life and work in Italy, including his reception by the Italian press, his contentious interactions with key political figures, and his artistic output, which culminated in the filming of Othello. Drawing on revelatory new material on the artist's personal and professional life abroad, Orson Welles in Italy also chronicles Italian cinema's transition from the social concerns of neorealism to the alienated characters in films such as Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, amid the cultural politics of postwar Europe and the beginnings of the cold war.

Too much is soon enough children scatter and waltz into the sky dispensing rainbows and forget-me-nots. Of course they are quickly forgotten. The world is composed of all it lacks thunder and tulips in clouds at the lake asparagus and quiche. In your hand I kiss spare parts then wolves follow us in a brougham mumbling about the economy concerned or otherwise lost in conjecture and innuendo. Maybe we should pause. Chinese moon people probe successive nights suitcases highlight suspects various couples threaten hunger and odd numbers seventy is significantly larger than eighty did the crown even acknowledge that. The dead are sentient and move warily among us conversing dissenting drooling buying deodorant and toilet paper like everyone else until they are finally alone why shouldn’t their votes be counted.

My Name Is Iago
Author: German T. Cruz

ISBN: 1796044504
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
A young boy is rescued from the cruelty of the Spanish Civil War. He is able to demonstrate a gift of learning that propels him to achieve high levels of scholarly performance and judicial responsibility at the Vatican, eventually becoming a cardinal. The stress of his dedication to work forces him to take a restorative incognito sojourn in Naples. From idle talk at a café, he becomes engaged in an intervention to restore a community that falls in conflict with the Camorra. Meanwhile, he completes translations of ancient Greek manuscripts that are successfully published. In all, he is assisted by a nun working as an able secretary somewhat caught in a flesh-and-vocation conflict. Seeking spiritual clarity for both and fulfilling a long, postponed urge, he takes a forty-day pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago before returning to his post in Rome. He engages a monastery of dissident nuns with a personal engagement that affirms gender equality. Eventually, elected pope after the death of his mentor, he leads a radical change in the clergy, complete with his kidnapping by a conspiracy of cardinals from which he emerges unscathed and affirmed. With his pontifical name, he renders homage to his family background and the loss of grandparents and uncles to instruments of war. His father survives the concentration camp at Mauthausen before returning to Spain after the Allied liberation and the death of Franco. His mandate over thirty years transforms the church in line with the Petrine command to feed the sheep and the historical structure of the faith.

Blind Spots of Knowledge in Shakespeare and His World
Author: Subha Mukherji
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110661993
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
A "blind spot" suggests an obstructed view, or partisan perception, or a localized lack of understanding. Just as the brain "reads" the "blind spot" of the visual field by a curious process of readjustment, Shakespearean drama disorients us with moments of unmastered and unmasterable knowledge, recasting the way we see, know and think about knowing. Focusing on such moments of apparent obscurity, this volume puts methods and motives of knowing under the spotlight, and responds both to inscribed acts of blind-sighting, and to the text or action blind-sighting the reader or spectator. While tracing the hermeneutic yield of such occlusion is its main conceptual aim, it also embodies a methodological innovation: structured as an internal dialogue, it aims to capture, and stake out a place for, a processive intellectual energy that enables a distinctive way of knowing in academic life; and to translate a sense of intellectual "community" into print.
