L'essenza dell'Abruzzo è declinata in questa novella nei suoi peculiari aspetti culturali. Lo sguardo attento e compiaciuto di Valerio Di Stefano ci accompagna attraverso le viuzze di un paesino dove la vita scorre ancora lenta, tra i profumi e i sapori di una terra "forte e gentile" come i suoi abitanti. "Lo schiaffatone" si differenzia completamente dalle precedenti narrazioni, mantenendo però il solito marchio di fabbrica: un'ironia inconfondibile e sottile che, in queste pagine, diventa bonaria ed empatica.

"Natale in casa Cupiello" di Eduardo De Filippo ["Christmas at the Cupiello House" by Eduardo De Filippo]

Story0
Natale in casa Cupiello fu rappresentata per la prima volta al Teatro Kursaal di Napoli, in forma di atto unico, nel 1931. Questo scarno dato storico-temporale, non è sufficiente, tuttavia, a definire e circoscrivere l'estrema complessità dell'opera, sia nella sua genesi ed evoluzione teatrale ed editoriale che nei suoi contenuti. L’autore propone una sorta di lettura trasversale per tematiche, allo scopo di evidenziare la circolarità della commedia, che si costituisce come un cerchio narrativamente concluso.

A causa dell'epidemia di colera che nel 1854 colpì la città siciliana Maria ha l'occasione di trasferirsi nella casetta del padre a Monte Ilice e vivere così con la famiglia per il periodo dal 3 settembre 1854 al 7 gennaio 1855. Della famiglia fanno parte il padre, la matrigna (Maria, in una delle prime lettere...

Story0
Hester Dowden, who wrote under the name Hester Travers Smith, was an Irish spiritualist medium. She claimed to have communicated with the spirits of various celebrities. In Oscar Wilde from Purgatory, she reproduces the text of her "conversations" with the Irish poet and playwright, conducted via a Ouija board and automatic writing. Wilde proves just as talkative after death as he was in life. His spirit revels in the complements paid to his work by Travers Smith and her colleagues, describes how it feels to exist without a body, and pronounces James Joyce's recently published novel Ulysses a ...

This complete collection of Oscar Wilde’s English language interviews gives listeners the opportunity to hear one of history’s greatest conversationalists in full flow. Newspaper interviewers repeatedly sought Wilde out for his “Oscarisms” – his trademark witty phrases – as well as his views on topics ranging from poetry to politics, and acting to architecture. The ordering of the interviews is chronological according to when they were given rather than publication date. Wilde’s few interviews in French and Italian are excluded. For the non-English language interviews, other ...

Story0
Myricae, è la raccolta di poesie più amata dal Pascoli. [...] Nel 1903, la raccolta definitiva comprendeva 156 liriche del poeta. I componimenti in esso raccolti sono dedicati al ciclo delle stagioni, al lavoro dei campi e alla vita contadina. Il titolo indica la modestia e la semplicità della poetica. Le myricae, le umili tamerici, diventano un simbolo delle tematiche del Pascoli ed evocano riflessioni profonde. La descrizione realistica cela un significato più ampio così che, dal mondo contadino si arriva poi ad un significato universale. La rappresentazione della vita nei campi e della...

Story0
"My Confession" is a brief autobiographical story of Leo Tolstoy's struggle with a mid-life existential crisis of melancholia. It describes his search for answers to the profound questions "What will come of my life?" and "What is the meaning of life?", without answers to which life, for him, had become "impossible." Tolstoy reflects on the arc of his philosophical life until then: his childhood abandonment of his Russian orthodox faith; his mastery of strength, will, power, and reason; and how, after he had achieved tremendous financial success and social status, life to him seemed ...

Lasciati gli studi di medicina per dedicarsi al lavoro di redattore di giornale il giovane SDG seppe scrivere in quegli anni alcune tra le più belle rappresentazioni di uno spaccato di vita napoletana. La Napoli dei vicoli, delle sue donne, delle mille botteghe e della miseria fu dipinta in ogni sua più impercettibile sfumatura come solo la mano d’un ‘verista sentimentale’, come egli si definiva, poteva. In quest’opera egli racconta, in quindici brevi storie, alcuni drammi causati dalla miseria come quello d’una madre che vede morire il bambino Ndreuccio per un semplice malanno, ...
