in-8, pp. 95, broch. edit., (coperta muta in carta d'epoca), tagli spruzzati di rosso. Edizione originale. L'opera si apre con la ''protesta dell'autore'' che lamenta un gran numero di copie ms. della sua tragedia in circolazione e paventa che possano presto essere stampate. Attesta dunque l'edizione del Piatti, arricchita da correzione e note, che reca la sua firma in calce alla ''protesta''. Buon esemplare, freschissimo. Si allega altra edizione, priva della ''protesta dell'autore'' e benché con stesse indicazioni tipografiche, il carattere è appena più grande ed infatti consta di pp. 102. Potrebbe essere una delle edizioni non autorizzate paventate dall'autore. Buon esemplare, ad ampi margini, con barbe.. Parenti, p. 362..

1963DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. OTTIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI, LIEVE BRUNITURA, LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. Frutto di diverse stesure, quest'opera teatrale nasce negli anni che precedono immediatamente la Seconda guerra mondiale e che vedono sperimentare e utilizzare a fini bellici la scissione dell'atomo, gli anni in cui si compie definitivamente una paurosa frattura tra progresso tecnico e progresso sociale. La figura di Galileo, lo scienziato che con le sue rivoluzionarie intuizioni rischia di mettere a repentaglio gli equilibri teologici e sociali del suo tempo e che si piega alla ritrattazione per timore della tortura e per mancanza di agonismo eroico, è la metafora dello scienziato moderno, dell'intellettuale perseguitato dall'inesorabile binomio scienza-fanatismo. Eppure, nonostante il suo intimo dissidio, la sua contraddittorietà, questo Galileo brechtiano è figura umanamente ricca, moderna proprio perché, pur asserendo in modo geniale la verità contro l'ignoranza, la superstizione e il conformismo, egli resta in bilico perenne e labile tra due fronti. Ma è altresì, come nota Ladislao Mittner, «un omaccione grande e grosso, che scoppia di salute e di energia: vuole e sa godersi la vita, ma vive poi soltanto per rendere con le sue scoperte scientifiche più sopportabile la vita all'umanità [...]».

1994DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO. LIEVI SEGNI DEL TMEPO ALLA COPERTINA. Nell'ultimo scorcio del secolo XIX, Pater inventa un particolare sentimento dell'antico come falsificazione anticipata - palinsesto del moderno. Quasi teatralmente scenario, sullo sfondo del quale l'artista viene visto muovere le sue ombre. Come nei Ritratti immaginari e in Mario Epicureo, anche nei saggi che andarono poi a tornare la raccolta editorialmente denominata Studi greci, egli impegna la sua grande competenza di studioso e di filologo, nonché il suo alto magistero stilistico, in una rivisitazione e revisione del mondo classico in funzione del moderno e delle sue forme. La sua scrittura evocativa, introspettiva, lavora a estrarre narrazione dalla figura mitica, così come dal gruppo scultoreo, facendo di quello che egli chiama studio una forma anticipatrice del romanzo moderno. Inedita per l'Italia la prestigiosa raccolta che presentiamo racchiude saggi dedicati alla poesia e alla mitologia greca da una parte e, dall'altra, alla storia della scultura e dell'architettura greca. II volume, corredato da illustrazioni tratte da materiale iconografico contemporaneo a Pater, comprende i seguenti saggi: Studio di Dionisio; Le Baccanti; Il mito di Demetra e Persefone; Ippolito velato; I primordi della scultura greca; I marmi di Egina; L'età dei vincitori atletici. [...] l'intero mondo, nero e grigio, della scultura antica giunta fino a noi, avrebbe bisogno di essere ritradotto in oro e avorio, se volessimo sentire l'eccitazione che sembra abbiano provato i greci alla presenza di tali oggetti. Walter Pater (Londra 1839-Oxford 1894) saggista e narratore inglese. I frequenti contatti con i preraffaelliti gli diedero modo di approfondire il suo interesse per l'arte e la letteratura. Tra le sue opere oltre ai già citati Mario l'Epicureo (1885) e Ritratti immaginari (1887), ricordiamo: Apprezzamenti (1889), Platone e il platonismo (1893), Il fanciullo nella casa (1894). La Conclusione dei suoi Studi sul Rinascimento (1873) divenne una sorta di manifesto del nuovo edonismo anti-vittoriano, e la sua prosa elegante influenzò un intera generazione di intellettuali. In questi saggi scritti in un arco di tempo di vent'anni, tra il 1875 e il 1894, e apparsi postumi con la denominazione di "Studi greci", Walter Pater (1839-1894) impegna la sua competenza di studioso e di filologo in una rivisitazione del mondo classico in funzione del moderno e delle sue forme. La raccolta che qui presentiamo racchiude saggi dedicati alla poesia e alla mitologia greca da una parte, e alla storia della scultura e dell'architettura greca dall'altra. Il volume è corredato da splendide illustrazioni tratte dal materiale iconografico contemporaneo a Pater.
