‎Rabbi Mehdi‎

‎Quell'angolino tranquillo a sinistra‎

‎br. Amore, amicizia, solitudine, desiderio di realizzarsi, rapporti genitori-figli, disincanto giovanile emergono da questi racconti come il tema principale della società iraniana di oggi anche lontano dal tumulto e dalle opportunità di Tehran. Nel Khuzestan disseccato dal sole, dove il grande fiume Karun scintilla sotto ponti d'acciaio, Mehdi Rabbi esplora i sentimenti e i legami che da sempre tengono insieme uomini e donne. I racconti che un giovanissimo Rabbi ha messo insieme in questa raccolta sono una passeggiata in una realtà di provincia apparentemente lontana dalla scintillante capitale Tehran. Racconto dopo racconto ci si immerge nella città di Ahvaz - con il suo clima, il suo fiume, i magnifici ponti, gli alberi esotici, i mercatini con le donne arabe accovacciate, i giovani universitari - facendo un tuffo in una realtà inedita per chi dell'Iran conosce solo il caos di Tehran o la serena bellezza di Isfahan e Shiraz.‎

‎Rabinovici Doron‎

‎Alla ricerca di M.‎

‎br. Chi è Mulleman, l'uomo misterioso che si aggira per la città ricoperto di bende e confessa tutti i peggiori crimini commessi? E qual è la vera identità di Arieh Arthur Bein, un geniale agente del Mossad capace di scovare i nemici del proprio Stato in tutti gli angoli del mondo? Già, le identità, queste fragili costruzioni di frammenti radicati nel passato, la soluzione di tutti i crimini dipenderà proprio dalla capacità dei due protagonisti di elaborare le proprie identità e sciogliersi dai vincoli che li legano all'eredità dei loro genitori. Essi infatti condividono un'origine comune: sono entrambi figli di sopravvissuti alla Shoah. Questo romanzo di Doron Rabinovici, la cui trama segue i dettami di un giallo, ha la capacità di riflettere sui retaggi della memoria, sulla fragilità dell'anima e sulla solidità di certi pregiudizi...‎

‎Rabinyan Dorit‎

‎Borderlife‎

‎br. È autunno, a New York. Il secondo senza le Torri. Liat ha appena conosciuto Hilmi e gli cammina accanto nel pomeriggio che imbrunisce, mentre pensa: Non hai già abbastanza guai? Fermati, finché puoi! Ma fermarsi non può, perché, nonostante le ferite, la magia della Grande Mela è ancora intatta, e Hilmi ha gli occhi dolci e grandi, color cannella, riccioli neri e un sorriso infantile che spezza il cuore. Lei è di Tel Aviv, fa la traduttrice e si trova negli USA grazie a una borsa di studio. Ha servito nell'esercito e ama la sua famiglia (Che cosa penserebbero, se lo sapessero?). Lui vive a Brooklyn e fa il pittore, e nei suoi quadri c'è sempre un bimbo che dorme e sogna il mare, quel mare di cui da ragazzo poteva cogliere appena un lembo, dal nono piano di un palazzo di Ramallah. Mentre oscillano tra l'ebbrezza della libertà e il senso di colpa, scoprendosi accomunati dalla nostalgia per quello stesso sole e quello stesso cielo, la vita reale bussa alla loro porta...‎

‎Terra matta‎

‎brossura Un bracciante siciliano si è chiuso a chiave nella sua stanza e ogni giorno, dal 1968 al 1975, senza dare spiegazioni a nessuno, ingaggiando una lotta contro il proprio semi-analfabetismo, ha digitato su una vecchia Olivetti la sua autobiografia. Ha scritto, una dopo l'altra, 1027 pagine a interlinea zero, senza lasciare un centimetro di margine superiore né inferiore né laterale, nel tentativo di raccontare tutta la sua "maletratata e molto travagliata e molto desprezata" vita. Imprevedibile, umanissimo e vitale, "Terra matta" ci racconta le peripezie, le furbizie e gli esasperati sotterfugi di chi ha dovuto lottare tutta la vita per affrancarsi dalla miseria; per salvarsi la pelle, ragazzino, nel mattatoio della Prima e poi della Seconda guerra mondiale; per garantirsi un futuro inseguendo (con "quella testa di antare affare solde all'Africa") il sogno fascista del grande impero coloniale in "uno miserabile deserto"; per arrabattarsi, in mezzo a "brecante e carabiniere", tra l'ipocrisia, la confusione e la fame del secondo dopoguerra; per tentare, a suo modo ("impriaco di nobilità"), la scalata sociale con un matrimonio combinato e godere, infine, del benessere degli anni Sessanta.‎

‎RACKHAM Arthur 1867 1939 and Henrik Ibsen 1828 1906. Peer Gynt. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Co. 1936.‎

‎Peer Gynt.‎

‎Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Co. 1936. 4to. 10 x 7 � inches. Pictorial half-title vignette title page partially unopened. Color-printed frontispiece and 11 color plates with tissue guards present head and tail pieces at the beginning and end of each act one or two spots lightly toned. Original publisher's orange cloth gilt pictorial endpapers spine faded extremities bumped. First American edition first published in London the same year. Partially unopened with all illustrations and tissue guards present. One of the last books that Arthur Rackham illustrated. "His drawings for Peer Gynt are remarkably fresh and interesting" Hudson p. 140. "In the troll scenes or in Peer's moorland encounter with the threadballs Rackhamerie abounds" Gettings p. 165. Arthur Rackham was a painter and illustrator who took evening classes at the Lambeth School of Art under the landscape painter William Llewellyn. He was encouraged to submit his illustrations to magazines "but to earn a secure living Rackham became a junior clerk in the Westminster fire office in 1885 a post he held until 1892. He resigned to join the staff of the Pall Mall Budget as a news and features illustrator and the following year he moved to the Westminster Budget and the Westminster Gazette. By now he was living in Buckingham Chambers Strand and was widening his practice by illustrating books for publishers. His name and reliability for delivery and content became known to publishers and public alike and he was increasingly in demand. Rackham's first notable successes which coincided with the beginnings of the fashion for lavishly produced gift books were illustrations to 'The Ingoldsby Legends' 1898 'Gulliver's Travels' 1900 and 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' 1900. These were followed by 'The Greek Heroes' 1903 'Rip Van Winkle' 1905 'Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens' 1906 and 'Alice in Wonderland' 1907. "In the earlier books Rackham's style tended to take on the appearance of woodcuts with the main features being drawn in thick pen and brush. From 1905 to 1910 as printing techniques improved his line became sharper and likewise his detail more intense. In Rip Van Winkle and A Midsummer Night's Dream 1908 he developed his gift for drawing witches gnomes fairies and anthropomorphized trees and brought them to a pitch of vivid characterization sometimes with an unsettling frisson of horror. Trees with human limbs and faces became one of his trademarks and may have been throwbacks to childhood memories of the Tradescants' garden. Despite the fantasy of his subjects however Rackham always maintained a strict sense of reality by giving his figures human traits and foibles and naturalistic even recognizable settings-illustrations in A Midsummer Night's Dream are variously set in Wimbledon Park Ruislip churchyard and Walberswick Suffolk� "Unlike his contemporary Edmund Dulac Rackham was not a bold colourist. He tended to restrict his palette to soft blues greens and reds in local highlights or in several layers of transparent watercolour wash over a yellowy-buff tone which gives to the whole a quality of vellum or age. This was a practical as well as an artistic decision as colour handled in this way could be faithfully reproduced by the three-colour separation printing process which was a new feature of pre-First World War book production� "In tune with the changing times Rackham's style during the 1920s began to adopt hints of art deco even of syncopation. This was a manner in which he was perhaps uneasy but nevertheless his natural sense of design of characterization and his lyrical handling of line and wash did not leave him. Nor was there any perceptible change in the sympathetic approach he had always adopted to the reading of the texts he had chosen to illustrate. He had a keen ear for the moods his authors evoked and a natural understanding of the subtleties of human expression. This was the mature grounding which he drew upon throughout his career in his narrative evocations of evil redemption and fancy. In landscape watercolours and oil paintings and in the handful of portraits he painted Rackham emerges as a considerable artist whose gifts had been circumscribed by the needs of commercial book illustration� "Among Rackham's last books-made after the family moved in 1930 to Stilegate the house they had built near Limpsfield Surrey-are E. A. Poe's 'Tales of Mystery and Imagination' 1935 'Peer Gynt' 1936 as here and a third version of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' 1939. His illustrations to Poe's 'Tales' have a sharp edge of true horror a re-emergent strain from the earlier Grimm and Wagner subjects� "Rackham brought a renewed sense of excitement to book illustration that coincided with the rapid developments in printing technology in the early twentieth century. Working with subtle colour and wiry line he exploited the growing strengths of commercial printing to create imagery and characterizations that reinvigorated children's literature electrified young readers and dominated the art of book illustration at the start of a new century" James Hamilton for DNB.
