HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -<br /> China Miéville emerged as one of the most influential voices in contemporary speculative fiction helping reshape fantasy through the fusion of science fiction horror surrealism Marxist theory and urban dystopian imagery.<br /> <br /> The Scar won the British Fantasy Award in 2003 and was shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award Hugo Award and Philip K. Dick Award. Together with Perdido Street Station and Iron Council it helped establish the Bas-Lag sequence as a landmark of modern weird fiction.<br /> <br /> Set immediately after the events of Perdido Street Station The Scar follows linguist Bellis Coldwine into the floating pirate-armada city of Armada one of the most imaginative settings in modern fantasy literature. Miéville blends elements of steampunk political allegory horror maritime adventure and grotesque invention into a densely layered narrative that helped redefine literary fantasy in the early 2000s.<br /> <br /> Unlike conventional epic fantasy grounded in medieval archetypes Miéville's Bas-Lag novels embrace industrial decay radical politics hybrid species and urban complexity. The Scar is often considered among his most ambitious and stylistically accomplished works balancing intellectual experimentation with large-scale adventure storytelling.<br /> <br /> The novel became central to the emergence of the 'New Weird' movement which rejected rigid genre boundaries in favor of darker stranger and more politically conscious speculative fiction.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: China Miéville Bas-Lag New Weird fiction steampunk fantasy signed limited editions Easton Press speculative fiction pirate cities in fiction literary fantasy British fantasy fiction modern weird literature New Crobuzon series Fantasy Weird Fiction Steampunk Speculative Fiction Science Fantasy.

Mignini F. (a cura di)
Humanitas. Attualità di Matteo Ricci. Testi, fortuna, interpretazioni
8vo grande, br. ed. 390pp. Humanitas è il termine simbolo dello straordinario incontro tra civiltà europea e cinese avvenuto ad opera di Matteo Ricci tra il 1582 e il 1610. Il gesuita maceratese comprese subito che la humanitas rinascimentale e classica degli europei corrispondeva alla perfezione umana e sociale (ren) della tradizione confuciana, e lavorò in modo instancabile al servizio di una sola e universale umanità. In questo volume sono raccolti diciotto interventi inediti e innovativi volti a restituire in modo esauriente la fisionomia dell'eredità ricciana. Cinque saggi illustrano temi relativi alla struttura e alla fruizione delle opere del gesuita: dalla storia del Grand Ricci, il maggiore strumento ora esistente per la traduzione del cinese classico, al Dizionario portoghese-cinese di Ricci e Ruggeri, ai progressi nell'interpretazione della scrittura cinese durante la missione di Ricci fino a una prima e nuova lettura linguistico-stilistica delle opere italiane. Cinque studi sono dedicati alla "Questione dei riti cinesi": una nuova interpretazione degli inizi della controversia, un'ampia ricognizione delle figure rilevanti di Giovanni Laureati e Teodorico Pedrini, una ricostruzione degli scritti e dei giudizi di Leibniz sulla disputa che stava di nuovo separando Roma e Pechino e, infine, un'interpretazione della instructio con la quale Pio XII pose fine nel 1939 all'annosa questione. I saggi rimanenti affrontano il tema dell'attualità di Ricci. indice: Introduzione : modelli e prospettive di interpretazione ricciana Prefazione al Grand Dictionnaire Ricci de la langue chinoise Per una nuova immagine del dizionario portoghese-cinese attribuito a Ricci e Ruggieri La scrittura del cinese come chiave interpretativa dell'universale nell'adattamento di Matteo Ricci e nella speculazione in Occidente Per un'estetica dell'incontro : lingua e stile nel corpus italiano di Matteo Ricci Confronti e controversie sui nomi di Dio tra Cina e Giappone nei primi anni del Seicento : i ruoli d'esordio di Francesco Pasio e Camillo Costanzo Quello che ho fatto, quello che ho sofferto, altri forse lo scriveranno : il gesuita Giovanni Laureati e le due legazioni pontificie in Cina nella prima metà del Settecento Documenti inediti di Teodorico Pedrini sulla controversia dei riti cinesi L'attualità di Matteo Ricci in Leibniz : tra linguaggio universale e relatività dei riti L'Instructio della Congregazione di Propaganda Fide dell'8 dicembre 1939 e la soluzione della questione dei riti cinesi Introduzione alla sessione Leggere Ricci oggi La Cina non vista da Matteo Ricci L'attualità vera di Ricci : il primato della cultura Attualità di un bisogno di Ricci nei rapporti tra Stato cinese e cultura cattolica Guardare alla Cina da imprenditore cattolico Quale incontro tra cultura e Vangelo? : l'esempio di Matteo Ricci e le sfide per la Chiesa oggi
