È poco noto che Richard Wagner fu tra i primi occidentali ad apprezzare il buddismo e il primo grande artista europeo ad ispirarsi a questa religione. Nel 1856, nel pieno della sua creatività, l'artista 33enne lesse il suo primo libro sul buddismo. Follemente innamorato di Mathilde Wesendonck, una donna bellissima ma felicemente sposata, concepì due progetti d'opera profondamente legati tra loro: Tristan und Isolde, che poi compose e mise in scena, e Die Sieger (I vincitori), un'opera basata su una leggenda indiana del Buddha tradotta dal sanscrito. Questi due progetti rispecchiano il desiderio ardente di Wagner di consumare il suo amore e la necessità della rinuncia.Il progetto dell'opera buddista occupò la mente di Wagner per decenni, fino alla sua morte nel 1883. Infatti, le ultime parole del compositore riguardavano la figura del Buddha del suo scenario e il suo rapporto con le donne. Urs App, autore di The Birth of Orientalism (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2010) e di The Cult of Emptiness (2012), storico di fama mondiale della scoperta occidentale del buddismo, racconta la storia dell'incontro creativo di Richard Wagner con il buddismo e spiega le ultime parole del compositore.Come storico delle idee, l'autore si è da tempo interessato ai plagi storici e alle frodi letterarie. L'uso estensivo senza autorizzazione del suo libro Richard Wagner and Buddhism (2011) da parte di Giorgio Tagliabue in Wagner e il nirvana (Roma: Albatros, 2022) è un caso da manuale per lo studio del plagio. Per facilitare tale studio, la traduzione italiana dell'intero libro di App è accostata al suo plagio.

Reinhart Koselleck concepisce la "Sattelzeit" come quel periodo storico compreso tra il 1750 e il 1850 che, trasformando il futuro nel luogo del progresso illimitato, segna definitivamente l¿avvento della Modernità. Lo studio di Richard Häni dimostra che nel mondo culturale questa trasformazione si realizza nell¿attuale penisola italiana al più tardi a partire dal Cinquecento. L¿autore, andando alla ricerca dei presupposti culturali della "Sattelzeit" koselleckiana, illustra in che modo Sperone Speroni, Benedetto Varchi, Giorgio Vasari e Giambattista Vico interpretarono la propria modernità, come essi percepirono l'antichità classica e più in generale in che modo intesero il rapporto fra antichi e moderni in relazione al progresso e al futuro delle arti, della letteratura e della filosofia italiana.

Francis I was inconstant, amorous, hotheaded, and flawed. Yet he was also arguably the most significant king ever to rule France. This is his story.Leonie Frieda, the author of the bestselling Catherine de Medici, tells the extraordinary tale of King Francis of France, Catherine's father-in-law and the man who turned France into a great nation. Francis saw himself as the first Renaissance king. A man who was the exemplar of courtly and civilized behavior throughout France and Europe, he was also a courageous and heroic warrior, a keen aesthete, an accomplished diplomat, and an energetic ruler who transformed his country to be a force to be reckoned with.But he was also capricious, vain, and arrogant, taking hugely unnecessary risks, at least one of which nearly resulted in the end of his kingdom. His great feud with his nemesis Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, defined European diplomacy and sovereignty, but his notorious alliance with the great Ottoman ruler Suleiman threatened to destroy everything. With access to never-before-seen private archives, Leonie Frieda delivers a comprehensive and sympathetic account that explores the life of the man who was the most human of all the Renaissance monarchs?and the most enigmatic.

An energetic, fast-paced trip through the rapidly changing world of Korean cuisine by the author of Eating Viet Nam.Journalist, world traveler, and avid eater Graham Holliday has sampled some of the most exotic and intriguing cuisines around the globe. On a pilgrimage throughout the whole of South Korea to unearth the real food eaten by locals, Holliday discovers a country of contradictions, a quickly developing society that hasn't decided whether to shed or embrace its culinary roots. Devotees still make and consume classic Korean dishes in traditional settings even as the cuisine modernizes in unexpected ways and the phenomenon of Korean people televising themselves eating (mok-bang) spreads ever more widely.Amid a changing culture that's simultaneously trying to preserve what's best about traditional Korean food while opening itself to a panoply of global influences and balancing new and old, tradition and reinvention, the real and the artificial, Holliday seeks out the most delicious dishes in the most authentic settings?even if he has to prowl in back alleys to find them and convince reluctant restaurant owners that he can handle their unusual flavors. Holliday samples sundae (blood sausage); beef barbecue; bibimbap; Korean black goat; wheat noodles in bottomless, steaming bowls; and the ubiquitous kimchi, discovering the exquisite, the inventive, and, sometimes, the downright strange. Animated by Graham Holliday's warm, engaging voice, Eating Korea is a vibrant tour through one of the world's most fascinating cultures and cuisines.

Den urgamle egyptiske kaosgud Seth lever et ekstravagant og udsvævende liv i nutidens London. Her møder han den unge kunstnerspire Victoria, som han indleder et lidenskabeligt forhold til. Victoria er af optaget skildringen af alt, der har med vinger at gøre - ikke mindst Ikarosmyten. En dag bliver Seth tilbudt at købe et maleri af Brueghel. Motivet er den faldne Ikaros. Samtidig på et landsted uden for London venter parret Gabriel og Héloise barn. Da drengen fødes under en frygtelig storm, som Seth har sat i værk, er Héloise ikke i tvivl: Hendes barn er en inkarnation af guden Horus - den eneste, der kan frelse verden fra Seths amokløb. Tredje Ikaros er en handlingsmættet spændingsroman og en moderne Ikarosfabel om kunstnerens vej til forløsning. Tredje Ikaros er anden selvstændige del af trilogien Gudestorm. ”En herlig roman fuld af spænding og drama og stor romantisk kærlighed fortalt på en baggrund af interessant og eksotisk specialviden. Det er også en roman, hvor der tænkes ambitiøst og stimulerende over livet og døden og religionen, og ikke mindst er det en uhyre velskreven roman.” Politiken “Mystikken breder sig, gåderne foldes ud, og hele herligheden vikles ind i et fintmasket net af kunsthistorie, græsk og ægyptisk mytologi … Anbefales enhver med hang til gode historier.” Kristeligt Dagblad ”Anne-Marie Vedsø Olesen er Danmarks svar på amerikanske Anne Rice med vampyr-fortællingerne. Man suspenderer gerne sin mistro, mens man hepper på Seth vel vidende, at han egentlig bør tabe.” Jyllands-Posten “Hovedværker af Mozart, Brueghel, Plutarch og Ovid spiller inciterende med i dette kulturhistoriske kapow-fyrværkeri af en roman … En herlig intellektuel gådefortælling”.

This is the only book to offer the complete correspondence between Thomas Jefferson and Maria Cosway, a talented artist for whom Jefferson fell while in France. There is agreement in the secondary literature that Jefferson's affection for Hemings was reciprocated. This book shows that that cannot be believed. Holowchak also shows that Cosway, through letters late in life, much longs for Jefferson's company, suggestive of regret for not having earlier in life reciprocated Jefferson's feelings-hence, the importance of a book with the complete correspondence.Holowchak also offers in the introduction a short psychobiography of Cosway that shows the significance of key early-life events-e.g., her childhood in a tavern, her removal to a convent, her introduction to art, and two singular dreams. Cosway would ever be tugged antipodally by the lure of earthy living as well as the asceticism of Catholic piety.

Sex wird Thema Numero Uno auf einer bunten italienischen Insel, nachdem Alberto eine spektakuläre Liebesnacht mit der Schauspielerin Aurelia nachgesagt wird. Aurelia soll dabei unzählige Male lautstark gekommen sein. Dabei ist an diesem Gerücht nichts dran. Schade für Alberto. Dennoch beginnen die Inselbewohnerinnen, den vorher so unscheinbaren Alberto mit ganz anderen Augen zu sehen...Mit unterhaltsamer Leichtigkeit nimmt die humorvolle und clevere Gesellschaftssatire die vorherrschenden Geschlechterrollen und Klischees unserer übersexualisierten Gesellschaft aufs Korn und thematisiert nebenbei die Macht der vorschnellen Meinung und Gerüchte. Natürlich auf zugespitzte, absurde und frivole Art und Weise. (S)explizite Inhalte hat diese frivole Satire jedoch nicht zu bieten. Auch wenn es immer nur um das eine geht...

"The Second World War wreaked unprecedented devastation throughout Europe, necessitating monumental reconstruction efforts that burdened not only governments, but the lives of ordinary citizens. War, Massacre, and Recovery in Central Italy, 1943-1948 examines this transitional period in the province of Arezzo by detailing the daily experiences of civilians through the traumas of war and the difficulties of recovery. Studying the aftermath of war in a new and insightful way, Victoria C. Belco shifts the perspective from the national to the local level. With this localized focus, she provides valuable insight into the ways in which civilians coped with an overwhelming range of problems--from adjusting to Allied occupation and widespread displacement to rampant unemployment and the restructuring of local administrations and institutions after fascism. Recreating the post-war atmosphere of disorder, need, and political upheaval, Belco shows how the competing community interests caused social fragmentations that impeded change, while the unity of a shared past prevented civil war."--

The New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Resistance Quartet returns with the incredible story of Mussolini's daughter, Edda, one of the most influential women in 1930s Italy and a powerful proponent of the fascist movement.Edda Mussolini was the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini's oldest and favorite child. At 19, she was married to Count Galleazzo Ciano, Il Duce's Minister for Foreign Affairs during the 1930s, the most turbulent decade in Italy's fascist history. In the years preceding World War II, Edda ruled over Italy's aristocratic families and the cultured and middle classes while selling Fascism on the international stage. How a young woman wielded such control is the heart of Caroline Moore's fascinating history. The issues that emerge reveal not only a great deal about the power of fascism, but also the ease with which dictatorship so easily took hold in a country weakened by war and a continent mired in chaos and desperate for peace.Drawing on a wealth of archival material, some newly released, along with memoirs and personal papers, Mussolini's Daughter paints a portrait of a woman in her twenties whose sheer force of character and ruthless narcissism helped impose a brutal and vulgar movement on a pliable and complicit society. Yet as Moorehead shows, not even Edda's colossal willpower, her scheming, nor her father's avowed love could save her husband from Mussolini's brutal vengeance.As she did in her Resistance Quartet, Moorehead delves deep into the past, exploring what fascism felt like to those living under it, how it blossomed and grew, and how fascists and aristocrats joined forces to pursue ten years of extravagance, amorality, and excessive luxury?greed, excess, and ambition that set the world on fire. The result is a powerful portrait of a young woman who played a key role in one of the most terrifying and violent periods in human history.

Dress became a testing ground for masculine ideals in Renaissance Italy. With the establishment of the ducal regime in Florence in 1530, there was increasing debate about how to be a nobleman. Was fashionable clothing a sign of magnificence or a source of mockery? Was the graceful courtier virile or effeminate? How could a man dress for court without bankrupting himself? This book explores the whole story of clothing, from the tailor's workshop to spectacular court festivities, to show how the male nobility in one of Italy's main textile production centers used their appearances to project social, sexual, and professional identities. Sixteenth-century male fashion is often associated with swagger and ostentation but this book shows that Florentine clothing reflected manhood at a much deeper level, communicating a very Italian spectrum of male virtues and vices, from honor, courage, and restraint to luxury and excess. Situating dress at the heart of identity formation, Currie traces these codes through an array of sources, including unpublished archival records, surviving garments, portraiture, poetry, and personal correspondence between the Medici and their courtiers. Addressing important themes such as gender, politics, and consumption, Fashion and Masculinity in Renaissance Florence sheds fresh light on the sartorial culture of the Florentine court and Italy as a whole.

Si sostiene che l'ASEAN (Associazione delle Nazioni del Sud-Est Asiatico), con un mandato formale debole, sia stata più efficace nel rafforzare la sicurezza e l'ordine regionale e lo sviluppo economico rispetto ad altri organi regionali in Asia. In quanto organizzazione regionale, il modo in cui l'ASEAN ha ripetutamente superato i conflitti non è riuscito a risolverli. Le minacce di terrorismo, la competizione per le armi nucleari e i missili balistici e una disputa irrisolta sulla terraferma sono alcune delle principali aree di tensione tra questi Paesi.

Es wird argumentiert, dass der ASEAN (Verband Südostasiatischer Nationen) trotz seines schwachen formalen Mandats bei der Förderung der regionalen Sicherheit und Ordnung sowie der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung effektiver war als andere regionale Organisationen in Asien. Als regionale Organisation ist die ASEAN wiederholt daran gescheitert, solche Konflikte zu lösen. Die Bedrohung durch den Terrorismus, die Konkurrenz um Atomwaffen und ballistische Raketen sowie ein ungelöster Streit um Land gehören zu den wichtigsten Spannungsfeldern zwischen diesen Ländern.
