Story
The first memoir by the poet Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas was written 14 years after the death of Oscar Wilde and in the aftermath of Douglas's failed prosecution of Arthur Ransome for libel. Ransome, in his "Oscar Wilde, a Critical Study," had quoted from the expurgated portions of Wilde's prison letter to Douglas, "De Profundis", which was highly critical of his former friend and lover. Having failed to convince a jury that he had been libelled, Douglas appealed instead to posterity by writing his memoir. In "Oscar Wilde and Myself" Douglas refutes Wilde's version of the events that led ...

Sus gotas centelleantes han atravesado el granito, la roca calcárea y la arcilla; han sido nieve sobre la cumbre del frío monte, molécula de vapor en la nube, blanca espuma en las erizadas olas.” El autor sigue el arroyo por sus muchos caminos – el desierto, la montaña, la gruta, la sima, etc., ...

Dentro de su bibliografía, se encuentra hacia el final de su producción. Para algunos analistas de la obra de Tolstói, esta historia reflejaría las luchas intelectuales y espirituales que poco tiempo atrás el autor había atravesado, en la crisis que tuvo cuando alcanzó los 50 años y que superaría con un radical cambio espiritual. En la novela, los temas tratados son la naturaleza tanto de la vida como de la ...

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
Testo fondamentale nell'evoluzione del nostro pensiero scientifico e filosofico. Concepita nel 1610, l’opera ebbe un tempo di composizione molto lungo, dovuto principalmente a periodi di infermità dello scienziato ed in seguito, a causa della condanna da parte del Sant'Uffizio nel 1616, al timore di dichiarare troppo apertamente la sua adesione al sistema copernicano. Dedicato a Ferdinando II de’ Medici, granduca di Toscana, il Dialogo, articolato in 4 giornate, si svolge tra il fiorentino Filippo Salviati, portavoce di Galileo, il veneziano Giovan Francesco Sagredo, uomo di ingegno e di ...

In questa breve ma completa lezione-conferenza, realizzata per l'Università della Terza Età di Roseto degli Abruzzi, si ripercorre l'esperienza erotica ma soprattutto culinaria di Dona Flor, protagonista del celeberrimo romanzo di Jorge Amado. Incatenata tra l'amore del primo marito Vadinho, debosciato e sciupafemmine, e quello del secondo, Teodoro, religioso e onesto farmacista, da cui Dona Flor avrà una vita agiata ma del tutto insoddisfacente sul piano sessuale, Dona Flor si improvvisa maestra di cucina.

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".

Story
Il "Vangelo secondo Marco" è il secondo dei quattro vangeli canonici del Nuovo Testamento. La maggioranza degli studiosi moderni, però, concorda sul fatto che sia stato il primo ad essere scritto, per poi essere usato come fonte per gli altri due vangeli sinottici (il Vangelo secondo Matteo e il Vangelo secondo Luca), in accordo con la teoria della priorità marciana. Si tratta di un testo la cui versione pervenuta è in lingua greca e di autore anonimo, che l'antica tradizione cristiana attribuisce a Marco evangelista, anche noto come Giovanni Marco, cugino di Barnaba.
