Travelling Heroes : Greeks and Their Myths in the Epic Age of Homer
Penguin UK 2009. Reprint. Medium Trade Paperback. Medium Trade Paperback. 514 pages. PUBLISHING DETAILS: Penguin UK 2009. Reprint. CONDITION: This book is in condition. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Robin Lane Fox's Travelling Heroes: Greeks and their Myths in the Epic Age of Homer proposes a new way of thinking about ancient Greeks showing how real-life journeys shaped their mythical tales. The tales of the ancient Greeks have inspired us for thousands of years. But where did they originate Esteemed classicist Robin Lane Fox draws on a lifetime's knowledge of the ancient world and on his own travels to open up the age of Homer. His acclaimed history explores how the intrepid seafarers of eighth-century Greece sailed around the Mediterranean encountering strange new sights - volcanic mountains vaporous springs huge prehistoric bones - and weaving them into the myths of gods monsters and heroes that would become the cornerstone of Western civilization: the Odyssey and the Iliad.

Rocca Federico
Hermès. L'avventura del lusso
ill., br. Parigi, 1837. Thierry Hermes, cittadino francese nato in terra tedesca, apre al numero 55 dell'elegante Rue Basse-du-Rempart (oggi assorbita nel Boulevard des Capucines) una manifattura di finimenti per cavalli. La qualità è eccelsa e già all'Esposizione Universale del 1867 Hermes vince la medaglia d'argento di prima classe. In pochi decenni il suo nome conquista l'aristocrazia europea e la rampante borghesia francese. Nel 1897 avviene la svolta: la casa, ora guidata dal figlio Charles-Emile (nella nuova, storica sede di 24, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré), mette in commercio il "Sac Haut à Courroies", una grande borsa in cuoio destinata a contenere sella, briglie, morsi e bardature varie. Presto, però, si scopre che al posto di sella e briglie la borsa può ospitare una gran quantità di oggetti differenti, tutti quelli che un vero viaggiatore desidera avere con sé, ovunque nel mondo e in qualsiasi momento. Hermes entra così nel mercato della moda. Da allora, generazione dopo generazione (oggi siamo alla sesta, rappresentata da Pierre-Alexis Dumas e Pascale Mussard), Hermes ha allargato il suo raggio d'azione che - oltre ai prodotti per l'equitazione e a tanti diversi modelli di borse - comprende foulard, sciarpe, cravatte, abiti, calzature, profumi, orologi, bijoux, porcellane, argenti, cristalli.

Rocco Renato
Comme facette mammeta. Canzoni e proverbi di Napoli. Appunti semiseri di antropologia culturale
br. La Napoli di Rocco si svela e mostra il suo vero volto attraverso il tempo e la Storia. Napoli e il suo popolo, realtà controverse e spesso fraintese. Le pagine di questo testo dissacrante e innovativo ci conducono per mano attraverso vicoli e paesaggi senza tempo, in un immaginario locus letterario dove grande importanza assume la risata. La tradizione delle canzoni, i testi dei grandi poeti napoletani dell'Ottocento, i proverbi della cultura popolare sono liberati dai luoghi comuni e dalla retorica, e ci offrono uno spaccato non solo esilarante, ma anche acuto e giacobino, pieno di arguzia e d'insolita profondità.
