‎Arti e mestieri sull'Adige dalle Valli tirolesi all'Adriatico‎

‎ill., br. Le attività lavorative che venivano svolte un tempo sull'Adige e lungo le sue rive rappresentavano componenti fondamentali di un mondo diversificato e operoso conservatosi fino ad alcune decine di anni fa. Il fiume, via di comunicazione fin dai secoli più lontani, rappresentava una fonte primaria di lavoro e prosperità e lungo le sue rive venivano svolte operazioni di ogni tipo. Insieme ai barcaioli e agli zattieri, ai mugnai e ai pescatori, svolgevano i loro compiti tanti altri artigiani e addetti alle mansioni più disparate: tintori, follatori, cavatori di sabbia e ghiaia, maestri d'ascia che costruivano barche e chiatte, carrettieri, facchini, traghettatori e persone che frequentavano le rive per svolgere faccende quotidiane oggi svolte con le moderne attrezzature. Di tutto questo insieme di operosità che caratterizzava l'Adige per gran parte del suo corso, dalle valli alpine alla foce, si fa fatica, ora, ad individuare anche i deboli segni che lo ricordano. Il volume ha il merito di riportare alla luce in modo ampio e approfondito questo mondo scomparso, forte di elementi ambientali e antropologici e parte integrante della storia e cultura materiale atesine.‎

‎RELIQUIE VIVENTI DEL DRAMMA SACRO IN SICILIA.‎

‎Un volume (21x29 cm) dattiloscritto di 211 fogli numerati (il testo su una sola facciata), una cartina tracciata a mano della Sicilia con la Ripartizione delle reliquie viventi. Tesi di laurea di Concetta Carta, Anno accademico 1941-42 dell'Università degli studi di Roma, Facoltà di lettere e filosofia; relatore prof. Paolo Toschi. Tutta tela del tempo, con qualche erosione al dorso e al piatto posteriore. Studio inedito di grandissimo interesse su uno degli aspetti singolari della tradizione religiosa siciliana e delle sue rappresentazioni drammatiche “viventi”, in feste, processioni e ricorrenze dei santi. Il relatore, Paolo Toschi, è stato uno dei più importanti studiosi del folklore italiano, ed aveva in quegli anni appena dato alle stampe “Dal dramma liturgico alla rappresentazione sacra. Saggi” (Firenze, Sansoni, 1940). Questo studio di folklore siciliano risulta inedito.‎

‎Fiabe e leggende irlandesi‎

‎br. Fate, atmosfere oniriche, storie intrecciate allo scorrere delle stagioni e ai destini umani: il patrimonio di racconti tradizionali dell'antica Irlanda è straordinario sia per dimensione, sia per varietà di temi e personaggi. Tramandati oralmente per molti secoli e poi messi per iscritto dai monaci medievali, questi testi ci parlano con il linguaggio della fantasia e del mito. Gli "autori" sono coloro che, a cavallo tra fine Ottocento e inizio Novecento, hanno dato vita alla "Celtic Renaissance", ovvero alla rinascita della cultura e delle tradizioni celtico-irlandesi, in opposizione alla dominazione inglese. Le fiabe e leggende irlandesi raccolte in questo volume sono tratte dai principali cicli di racconti e comprendono sia fiabe nel senso classico del termine, sia racconti magici in cui l'elemento storico si mescola a motivi fiabeschi: il risultato è la mappa magica di un mondo popolato da giganti, folletti e streghe, giovani principi e principesse crudeli, animali parlanti, boschi incantati e acque miracolose, mantelli che catturano palle di fuoco e uova magiche. Arricchiscono il volume un saggio sulle fate a firma dell'antichista inglese Joseph Ritson, un repertorio delle raccolte di fiabe irlandesi fino a oggi pubblicate in Italia e una postfazione del curatore sull'ipotesi di un'origine genetica delle fate.‎

‎Nati con la camicia. La membrana amniotica nel folklore e nella medicina‎

‎ill., br. Nella cultura popolare di molte regioni del mondo e di diverse epoche storiche, la nascita con la "camicia", ovvero la membrana amniotica, raffigura un destino fortunato. Chi nasce con essa può infatti diventare un individuo dotato spiritualmente: uno sciamano o un prelato di alto rango, un arcivescovo cattolico o un lama nel mondo tibetano. Tale tipo di nascita conferisce inoltre dei poteri magici come la "seconda vista", nei confronti di morti e di spettri, e la chiaroveggenza. "Nati con la camicia" raccoglie tutte le credenze popolari e le ipotesi intorno a questo avvenimento partendo dalla tradizione storico-letteraria e proponendo anche quanto scritto nei secoli da fisiologi, embriologi e medici. Secondo tali credenze e tradizioni, la "camicia" può anche essere apparentata a una sorta di copricapo che ha molti legami con il mondo delle fate e degli gnomi, e che conferiva protezione e invisibilità a chi nasceva con essa. Nel folklore europeo, e non solo, la "camicia" ha rappresentato un attributo che poteva indirizzare i proprietari verso un destino di benandanti, maghi, streghe, lupi mannari e vampiri, ovvero figure inerenti alle profondità della psiche. La membrana amniotica fa parte dell'unità feto-placenta-cordone ombelicale, e a tal riguardo il saggio documenta le diverse disposizioni e prescrizioni che nel corso dei secoli hanno riguardato le parti di questa unità al fine di favorirne e utilizzarne l'influsso positivo e scongiurarne quello maligno. Del resto, nel folklore sono note le proprietà terapeutiche della "camicia" e delle cellule che da essa possono essere derivate, mentre nella medicina antica, ad esempio quella cinese, erano ben conosciute le proprietà curative della placenta. Conoscenze andate poi perdute e in seguito recuperate nella medicina moderna: oggi infatti queste stesse proprietà vengono sfruttate nella cosiddetta "medicina rigenerativa", al fine di riparare organi danneggiati, restituendo loro integrità strutturale e funzionale.‎

‎Connelly Joan Breton‎

‎The Parthenon Enigma: A New Understanding of The West's Most Iconic Building and the People Who Made it‎

‎New York: A.A.Knopf 2014 Built in the fifth century b.c. the Parthenon has been venerated for more than two millennia as the West�s ultimate paragon of beauty and proportion. Since the Enlightenment it has also come to represent our political ideals the lavish temple to the goddess Athena serving as the model for our most hallowed civic architecture. But how much do the values of those who built the Parthenon truly correspond with our own And apart from the significance with which we have invested it what exactly did this marvel of human hands mean to those who made it In this revolutionary book Joan Breton Connelly challenges our most basic assumptions about the Parthenon and the ancient Athenians. Beginning with the natural environment and its rich mythic associations she re-creates the development of the Acropolis -the Sacred Rock at the heart of the city-state- from its prehistoric origins to its Periklean glory days as a constellation of temples among which the Parthenon stood supreme. In particular she probes the Parthenon�s legendary frieze: the 525-foot-long relief sculpture that originally encircled the upper reaches before it was partially destroyed by Venetian cannon fire in the seventeenth century. . The frieze�s vast enigmatic procession -a dazzling pageant of cavalrymen and elders musicians and maidens - has for more than two hundred years been thought to represent a scene of annual civic celebration in the birthplace of democracy. But thanks to a once-lost play by Euripides the discovery of which in the wrappings of a Hellenistic Egyptian mummy is only one of this book�s intriguing adventures Connelly has uncovered a long-buried meaning a story of human sacrifice set during the city�s mythic founding. In a society startlingly preoccupied with cult ritual this story was at the core of what it meant to be Athenian. Connelly reveals a world that beggars our popular notions of Athens as a city of staid philosophers rationalists and rhetoricians a world in which our modern secular conception of democracy would have been simply incomprehensible. The Parthenon�s full significance has been obscured until now owing in no small part Connelly argues to the frieze�s dismemberment. And so her investigation concludes with a call to reunite the pieces in order that what is perhaps the greatest single work of art surviving from antiquity may be viewed more nearly as its makers intended. Marshalling a breathtaking range of textual and visual evidence full of fresh insights woven into a thrilling narrative that brings the distant past to life The Parthenon Enigma is sure to become a landmark in our understanding of the civilization from which we claim cultural descent. 512p. illus some col bibliographyindex . 1st US Edition.

‎Zombie walk. L'irresistibile ascesa di un mostro senza qualità‎

‎ill., br. Mentre centinaia di film e romanzi, decine di videogame, fumetti e web series, articoli di giornale e ponderose - per quanto improvvisate - speculazioni filosofiche ne decretano la dilagante popolarità, il Morto Vivente è ancora un'entità sfuggente e sotterranea per la saggistica italiana. Zombie Walk cerca di colmare questo vuoto raccontando l'irresistibile ascesa di un mostro senza qualità, la claudicante avanzata di un anti (o super?) eroe senza precedenti che, con silenziosa ostinazione, ha invaso l'immaginario e il linguaggio della quotidianità. Nascosti nelle pieghe della cultura erudita o sbandierati dallo show business orrifico, evocati nei manuali anatomici, mummificati dalle pratiche funerarie, i morti risorgono, i morti amano, i morti lavorano, i morti mangiano. In televisione camminano, sul grande schermo scatenano guerre mondiali, nella Rete globale esplodono, chiacchierano e infettano tutto.‎

‎Cook Lyn; Davies Mary; French adaptation by Michiline St Cyr‎

‎Jolly Jean-Pierre / Voyage Extraordinaire de Jean-Pierre‎

‎Toronto: Burns and MacEachern Limited 1973. 35 pages. Bound in cloth printed in full colour with illustration of Jean-Pierre the voyageur. Extremities rubbed with minor colour loss; front board just barely bowed. Binding tight text pages clean and bright. Ex-library marks consist of inkstamps to edges and to prelims; half-title page is rippled at former site of pocket. A versified tall tale put into the mouth of a voyageur - Bilingual in English and French. The English version the original is the latest example I have seen of the genre of poetry purporting to represent the Habitant dialect in English. Cook does not attempt as did William Henry Drummond who invented of the genre to reproduce the "charming" pronunciation but in the 21st century such lines as "But suddenly I wake up fast! The boat she jump and spin - " leave me simply dumbstruck with amazement. The French version is an adaptation and renders the story in prose with considerably more detail and a more literary form "Soudain je sentis mordre � l'hame�on . Le canot sautait et dansait." In any case definitely a literary curiosity as a very late example of humourous but sympathetic Habitant patois poetry in English. By a distinguished Canadian children's author; we usually have a number of Lyn Cook books available please search our stock or enquire. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 10" x 8.25" 25.5cm x 21cm.
