‎Proust Marcel‎

‎Il piacere della lettura‎

‎br. Nel 1906 esce in Francia la traduzione proustiana di Sesamo e gigli di John Ruskin, accompagnata da una prefazione - Sulla lettura - nella quale Proust, prendendo le distanze dalle teorie del critico inglese, rende presente la sua idea di lettura, offrendoci un primo assaggio di quel peculiare stile di scrittura che troverà la sua massima espressione nella Recherche. Queste pagine, tra le più affascinanti che siano state dedicate all'attività di leggere, sono presentate insieme a un articolo, Giornate di lettura, pubblicato su "Le Figaro", dove - a dispetto del titolo - è un altro il magico oggetto in grado di evocare presenze e atmosfere assenti, il telefono, dispositivo all'epoca ancora estremamente raro e d'élite. È un piccolo esempio di scrittura mondana e d'occasione, un divertissement nel quale, tuttavia, traluce la capacità affabulatoria, ironica e ammaliante del primo Proust. Prefazione di Emanuele Trevi.‎

‎Proust Marcel; Clarac P. (cur.)‎

‎Contro Sainte-Beuve‎

‎br. "Contro Saint-Beuve" è il libro ombra della Recherche. Prima di scrivere il suo capolavoro, Marcel Proust consegna al "Contro Saint-Beuve" le sue considerazioni più profonde sulla necessità di scrivere. In questo libro straordinario si trova infatti l'impianto teorico della Recherche. Proust racconta il senso della sua scrittura: dare una forma alla memoria personale, farla emergere da oggetti altrimenti ordinari. Scrivere per dare un segno della propria esistenza che andrebbe altrimenti persa, nella convinzione che mai nulla del genere sia ancora stato scritto. "Contro Saint-Beuve" è un testo dalla straordinaria intensità, soprattutto per la sua forma diretta. A metà tra la critica letteraria e la confessione personale, è un documento unico della costruzione di un'opera immortale. Mentre nella Recherche, infatti, va in scena la mirabile costruzione artistica è solo nel "Contro Saint-Beuve" che si ha l'opportunità di ascoltare il lavoro del pensiero che si cela dietro il capolavoro.‎

‎Providenti Giovanna‎

‎Goliarda Sapienza. La porta della gioia‎

‎br. Questo libro, pur scaturito da una scrupolosa ricerca e da un'ampia raccolta di testimonianze, non vuole essere un resoconto oggettivo della vita di Goliarda Sapienza, perché, come scrive Giovanna Providenti, non ne esistono di possibili. L'obiettivo è un altro: raccontare per immagini la scrittrice eccentrica, disturbante, innamorata della vita che Goliarda è stata. Una scrittrice, come lei stessa si definiva, "dal destino profondo, non di successo". Per il resto, l'intera narrazione non è altro che una pagina bianca, pronta a essere meglio definita da chi la leggerà, "anche perché così facendo - ci dice Goliarda - la bugia sarà vostra e quindi vera". Con un'intervista a Valeria Golino e un contributo di Marco Bonini.‎

‎Buch in guter Erhaltung, Einband sauber, im unteren Kapital gering bestoßen, Seiten hell und sauber, ohne Einträge, Buchblock fest, Mit dem Tod von Gerhild Pröls im Dezember 2014 wusste ihr Ehemann Josef noch nicht, was der lyrische Nachlass seiner Frau barg. Nach und nach arbeitete er ihn auf, wählte aus, gestaltete und stellte am Donnerstag den entstandenen Gedichtband einem breiten Publikum vor. "Die Natur, der Mensch und das Göttliche - das christliche Verständnis, all das vereint Gerhild Pröls in ihren Gedichten", fasste der stellvertretende Landrat und Altbürgermeister Arnold Kimmerl den Abend treffend zusammen. Der langjährigen Märchenerzählerin Gerhild Pröls lagen besonders die Kinder am Herzen. Sie gestaltete eigene Kindergottesdienste und erzählte 15 Jahre lang in der Stadtbücherei Märchen.‎
