Quadrino Silvana
Sembravano così felici. Amori e disamori nel tempo dell'incertezza
br. Le domande che ogni coppia in crisi si pone e le risposte che non si trovano mai. Cosa ti ho fatto? Non pensi alle cose belle che abbiamo realizzato insieme? Non pensi ai bambini? Perché non mi ami più? Ti amo ancora? Cos'è successo? Cosa c'è che non va? Di chi è la colpa? La convinzione, spesso irreale, che tutto andasse bene, prima: "Eravamo così felici...". L'emergenza e la generale trasformazione che stiamo attraversando nel racconto di esperienze che ci toccano da vicino e ci fanno riflettere sul nostro modo di intendere le relazioni. Perché e come avviene che a un certo punto in una coppia l'amore sembra scomparire? Tante storie, tante situazioni di vissuto quotidiano per orientarci in questo periodo di grave incertezza in cui tutti siamo sottoposti a forti pressioni e cambiamenti che mettono in bilico i nostri rapporti, a partire da quelli più intimi. Nella vita di ogni coppia si nascondono nodi, ferite non rimarginate, rimpianti. Nel momento magico dell'innamoramento ciascuno dei due vede nell'altro la risposta perfetta al suo bisogno, ma poi la storia continua e... Una coppia è un sistema vivente soggetto a continui e inevitabili cambiamenti che modificano le esigenze e la disponibilità di ciascuno. Ecco perché, quando si affronta un momento di crisi, la vera domanda è: siamo capaci di stare insieme in un modo diverso? I racconti qui presentati sono paradigmatici delle difficoltà che compaiono nel percorso di vita di una coppia, delle domande che ognuno si fa quando tutto sembra franare. Perché non mi ami più? Ti amo ancora? Cos'è successo? Cosa c'è che non va? Di chi è la colpa? Ogni racconto è seguito da un breve viaggio "dentro la storia", alla ricerca dei punti di rottura o di ricostruzione degli equilibri, per aiutare i lettori a imparare dalle vite degli altri, e a riflettere di più sulla propria, anche in situazioni eccezionali come quella che ci siamo trovati a vivere con il Covid-19, che ha accentuato fragilità preesistenti, ma anche reso possibili cambiamenti prima ritenuti inattuabili. Come ricorda l'autrice in questa ricognizione sulla crisi di coppia in un'epoca di forte incertezza, le nostre relazioni si fondano comunque sempre sulle stesse basi: il bisogno di essere riconosciuti e amati, e il timore di non esserlo. Cosa possiamo darci reciprocamente, cosa ci lega, cosa ci allontana, cosa possiamo essere, da soli o insieme.

Randone Valeria
L'aggiustatrice di cuori. Le parole che riparano
br. Ci sono amori che abitano lenzuola tiepide e altri lenzuola roventi. Eccessive, invasive, sino a non comprendere più qual è il confine tra un desiderio straripante e una dipendenza. Si muovono in un reticolo infernale che va dalla passione alla dannazione. Ci sono amori sani che scaldano il cuore e che lo riparano dal freddo e dal buio, e altri tossici che lo squadernano senza pietà. Ci sono poi uomini (o donne) giusti al momento sbagliati, e uomini sbagliati al momento giusto: di estrema fragilità del cuore. Con questo libro ho deciso di raccontare delle parole che curano, del buio che diventa luce, dell'adulterio che diventa bussola, delle coppie traballanti che ritrovano l'equilibrio e l'erotismo, della fatica e della meraviglia di essere madre, e dei sentieri impervi e misteriosi del desiderio sessuale.

Raverij Alessandro
academia francese nella quale si tratta della institution de costumi et di quello che concerne il bene et felicemente vivere in ogni stato e condidione secondo gli essempi della vita de gli antichi savi et huomini illustri. Di Pietro della Primaudaye. trasportata dalla lingua francese nella italiana per Aless. Raverij da Cesena. Venetia, Giov. Guerigli 1601. (Segue): Stesso autore. Continuatione dell academia francese.nella quale si tratta dell' huomo, historia del corpo, materia, forma, natura.cause delle affettioni,virtù e vitii. Venetia, G. Guerigli 1604.
[Medicina-Cesena] (cm. 21) piena pergamena originale con vecchio rinforzo al dorso ben restaurato.-- cc. 8 nn., pp. 567, (1 bianca); cc. 6 nn., pp. 414 + 1 c. bianca. Bellissimo frontis architettonico-figurato con allegorie e mascheroni. Dedica del traduttore a Ferdinando Dè Medici datata 13 Maggio 1595. Opera veramente singolare che tratta di malattie e passioni del corpo, matrimonio, parto, amore e gelosia, doveri del marito e della moglie, casa, famiglia ecc. La seconda parte è maggiormente dedicata alla medicina. Descrive le varie parti del corpo umano, usi e costumi, pensiero di Galeno, Platone e Aristotele; termina con Epicurei e Ateisti. Al frontis è scritto "Seconda Impressione" ma nonostante accurate ricerche non abbiamo trovato notizia di edizioni italiane anteriori. Anche Michel-Michel cita solo questa nostra senza averla potuta vedere e senza una seconda parte. Per confronti con edizioni francesi vedi: Wellcome I 3668, Durling 2737, Graesse IV 106, Brunet III 837. Lievissimi aloni a qualche carta all' inizio e in fine, per il resto esemplare molto bello fresco e nitido. Manca a tutta la bibliografia consultata compreso Bm. Stc. e Autori Italiani del '600. Una sola copia scompleta in Michel-Michel VII 12.[f64] Libro

THE FAMILY IN ANCIENT ROME New Perspectives
3 pages have indent from paperclip. Very light pencil marginalia to a few pages. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; Little has been published on the Roman family, a subject of central importance to political as well as social history. It was the family that determined political power; it was within the family that the distinctive relationships of one citizen to another were forged and exemplified. The Family in Ancient Rome provides an overview of the state of research by presenting some of the most important work being done in this area. In addition to a survey of the literature on all aspects of the Roman family, the book begins with a general picture of the main features of the family. More specialized essays deal with the legal evidence, wills and property rights which were of particular importance for the position of women; with the link between property disposition, dowry, and divorce; with the authority of the male head of the household and its relation to political power; with the status of children born of unions between slaves and citizen; and with the rearing of, and attitudes toward, children. ; 288 pages; Isbn: 0801418739

Rawson, Beryl & Paul Weaver
THE ROMAN FAMILY IN ITALY Status, Sentiment, Space
National University Series; 0.87 x 9.06 x 6.14 Inches; 400 pages; The family continues to be seen as a central institution in Roman as well as modern, Western society. The Roman family is often used as a stereotype, sometimes of severity, sometimes of decadence, with its decline often cited as a cause of wider decline and fall. Definitions and concepts continue to be modified and nuanced, however, as the availability of new evidence and new methodologies make possible a much less simplistic picture. In this volume, the study of family draws on a wide range of disciplines to develop the intertwined themes of status, sentiment, and space. For example, on status there are contributions about Junian Latins and a survey of senators' monuments, while sentiment is represented by a gloomy but convincing picture of old age and a paper on the sentimental ideal which argues that conflict as well as concord is a feature of family life. Space is represented, among others, by the contribution on who commemorates whom in Roman Italy, pointing up the regional variations in custom and the difficulties in tracing complete families. The final contributions focus on the house: how people lived in the Roman house, the use of rooms, and the artefacts that might indicate this use. The book makes use of many types of evidence from the legal and literary to the iconographical and archaeological. Visual and material evidence play an important role in reconstructing real lives in considerable colour and variety. The book moves beyond the city of Rome to the rest of Roman Italy and even into the provinces, just as Roman culture moved outwards and mingled with other cultures. Chronologically too there are new directions, towards the later Empire and Christianity. So, although the contributors do not abandon any of the territory already gained in Rome, nor literary and epigraphical sources, nor the late Republic or early Empire, there is an exciting sense of new discovery.
