Story
The Douay Rheims New Testament, published in 1582, is a translation of St Jerome's Latin Vulgate which dates from the fourth century. It influenced production of the King James version of the Bible to come some years afterward, while being the only Roman Catholic authorized vernacular scriptures up until the middle twentieth century. Although updated linguistically in the 18th and 19th centuries to provide easier understanding by the laity and reduce its use of Latinized words, it strove to be faithful to the original translation. The work's importance is that it remains the scriptural texts ...

Moby Dick, or the Whale by Herman Melville (1819 - 1891)

Story
Few things, even in literature, can really be said to be unique — but Moby Dick is truly unlike anything written before or since. The novel is nominally about the obsessive hunt by the crazed Captain Ahab of the book’s eponymous white whale. But interspersed in that story are digressions, paradoxes, philosophical riffs on whaling and life, and a display of techniques so advanced for its time that some have referred to the 1851 Moby Dick as the first “modern” novel. (Summary by Stewart Wills)

Story
Also known as Song of Songs, Solomon's Song of Songs, or as Canticles. The protagonists of the Song of Songs are a woman (identified in one verse as "the Shulamite") and a man, and the poem suggests movement from courtship to consummation. Additionally, the Song includes a chorus, the "daughters of Jerusalem." In spite of the lack of explicitly religious content, the Song is often interpreted as an allegorical representation of the relationship of God and Israel, or for Christians, God and the Church or Christ and the human soul, as husband and wife.

Story
Il Principe (titolo originale in lingua latina: De Principatibus, "Riguardo i Principati") è un trattato di dottrina politica scritto da Niccolò Machiavelli nel 1513, nel quale espone le caratteristiche dei principati e dei metodi per mantenerli e conquistarli. Si tratta senza dubbio della sua opera più nota e celebrata, quella dalle cui massime (spesso superficialmente interpretate) sono nati il sostantivo "machiavellismo" e l'aggettivo "machiavellico". - Summary from http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_PrincipeProof-listeners: mrnmrz72 and Sonia

Story
The Divine Comedy (in Italian, Divina Commedia, or just La commedia or Comedia) is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri in the first decades of the 14th Century, during his exile from his native Florence. Considered the most important work of Italian literature, the poem has also has enormous historical influence on western literature and culture more generally. Dante represents the three realms of the afterlife in his three canticles (Inferno--Hell; Purgatorio--Purgatory; Paradiso--Paradise) in a way that reflects and, at the same time, goes beyond Christian tradition of the 14th Century. ...

Story
La prima edizione dei Canti fu pubblicata a Napoli, curata dall'autore, nel 1835. Superficialmente sarebbe potuta apparire un'ennesima raccolta della tradizione classicista italiana. Nulla di nuovo infatti nel contenuto e nel linguaggio. Il pessimismo e la noia sono temi che dall'Ecclesiaste erano apparsi regolarmente nella letteratura occidentale, da quella classica fino al Werther. Le sferzate poetiche contro la decadenza politica e civile della “patria”, le cui prime attestazioni nella tradizione culturale occidentale risalgono ai profeti veterotestamentari, già in Dante e Petrarca ...

‘La Decadencia de la Mentira‘ forma, junto con otros títulos, la biblioteca de ensayos de este importante escritor victoriano. En ella, Wilde se sirve de una fructuosa conversación entre dos amigos, los sagaces Cyril y Vivián, para entonar una apología del esteticismo y del “arte por el arte”. Aterrizando en las entrañas de Vivián, Wilde transmite una poderosa crítica contra la naturaleza y la realidad. Inquiere en que estas destruyen cualquier intento de manifestación del arte, pues ambas tratan de concebirlo sin servirse de la belleza, apartándola de su lado. De hecho y ...

Story
"Metello" è un romanzo storico di formazione che seguendo le vicende di un eroe popolare abbraccia un arco di tempo che va dal 1875 al 1902, il periodo forse più difficile e complesso della storia italiana dopo l'Unità: gli anni delle violente repressioni governative nei confronti degli operai, che organizzandosi per la prima volta in sindacati, assumono progressiva e decisa coscienza dei propri diritti, si identificano in un partito unitario e scoprono una nuova arma: lo sciopero.

Story
"Il Gattopardo" è un romanzo di Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa che narra le trasformazioni avvenute nella vita e nella società in Sicilia durante il Risorgimento, dal momento del trapasso del regime borbonico alla transizione unitaria del Regno d'Italia, seguita alla spedizione dei Mille di Garibaldi. Dopo i rifiuti delle principali case editrici italiane (Mondadori, Einaudi, Longanesi), l'opera fu pubblicata postuma da Feltrinelli nel 1958, un anno dopo la morte dell'autore. Il tema della cucina nel romanzo e ai tempi in cui si svolge l'azione non è stato abbastanza investigato.

Una disamina puntuale e dissacrante del libro Cuore di Edmondo De Amicis, icona ottocentesca falsa e ipocrita dei buoni sentimenti, in una lezione-conferenza realizzata e tenuta all'Università della Terza Età di Roseto degli Abruzzi. Da Garrone a Franti, attraverso i racconti mensili, le figure di contorno, i personaggi surreali dell'opera principale dello scrittore, in un susseguirsi di battute, critiche e facezie contro un libro arrogante e prepotente, ingiustamente definito "per ragazzi".
