The Complete Cosmicomics - Italo Calvino

Italo Calvino's enchanting stories about the evolution of the universe, with characters that are fashioned from mathematical formulae and cellular structures, The Complete Cosmicomics is translated by Martin McLaughlin, Tim Parks and William Weaver in Penguin Modern Classics.'Naturally, we were all there, - dld Qfwfq said, - where else could we have been? Nobody knew then that there could be space. Or time either: what use did we have for time, packed in there like sardines?' The Cosmicomics tell the story of the history of the universe, from the big bang, through millennia and across galaxies. It is witnessed through the eyes of 'cosmic know-it-all' Qfwfq, an exuberant, chameleon-like figure, who takes the shape of a dinosaur, a mollusc, a steamer captain and a moon milk gatherer, among others. This is the first complete edition in English of Italo Calvino's funny, whimsical and delightful stories, which blend scientific fact, flights of fancy, parody and wordplay to show the strangeness and the wonders of the world. Italo Calvino (1923-1985), one of Italy's finest postwar writers, has delighted readers around the world with his deceptively simple, fable-like stories. Calvino was born in Cuba and raised in San Remo, Italy; he fought for the Italian Resistance from 1943-45.

Collection of Sand - Italo Calvino

Italo Calvino in Collection of Sand claimed that ''the brain begins in the eye''. The essays collected here display his fascination with the visual universe, in which the things we see tell a truth about the world. With encyclopedic knowledge and engaging curiosity, Calvino writes about such diverse subjects as the imaginative pleasures of maps, bizarre exhibitions and the earliest forms of written language. Books and paintings provoke discussions of artistic motivation, while descriptions of a meticulous Japanese garden, Trajan''s column crumbling to dust or a Mexican temple smothered by the jungle lead to contemplations on space, time and civilization. Surprising and profound, Collection of Sand provides a glimpse into the mind of a master of the magination.Italo Calvino, one of Italy''s finest postwar writers, has delighted readers around the world with his deceptively simple, fable-like stories.

The Path to the Spiders' Nests - Italo Calvino

Pin is a bawdy, adolescent cobbler''s assistant, both arrogant and insecure who - while the Second World War rages - sings songs and tells jokes to endear himself to the grown-ups of his town - particularly jokes about his sister, who they all know as the town''s ''mattress''.

Palomar - Italo Calvino

Palomar je poslední větší próza Itala Calvina a i zde se autor rozhodl pro originální experiment. Kapitoly této knihy bychom mohli vnímat jako básně v próze, ale spíše je lze označit za křížence románu nebo básně s esejem. V Calvinově díle má jejich titulní protagonista, pan Palomar, četné předchůdce - rozmanité komentátory a spekulativní talenty. Ti všichni jsou, stejně jako on, velkými pozorovateli světa, protože pozorování věcí je podle Calvina naším základním úkolem. Pan Palomar však chce svět nejen uvidět a pochopit, ale také popsat a vyjádřit: chce jej proměnit v slova. Lze se ale světa zmocnit autentickým, avšak subjektivním pohledem? Spočívá pravda o světě v bezprostřednosti okamžiku? A jak uchopit svět "nepsaný"? Sám Calvino charakterizoval tuto svou knihu následovně: "Jistý muž se vydá na cestu, aby krok za krokem dosáhl moudrosti. Dosud nedorazil k cíli."

Into the War - Italo Calvino

Set in Italy in the summer of 1940, this trio of stories explores the relationships between the different generations caught up in the war as well as Calvino''s own experiences as a teenager. In the title story, ''Into the War'', we are given an insight into what life was really like for those too young to be conscripted into Mussolini''s army, while in ''The Avanguardisti in Menton'', Calvino and his friends take a revealingly anti-climactic trip to the garrisoned French town of Menton, the sole Italian conquest of the early months of the conflict. The final story, ''UNPA Nights'', is a touching, comic tale of friendship in a blackout, where the narrator''s imagination wanders as he roams through the seedier parts of the darkened town instead of guarding the school buildings. Into the War is Calvino at his autobiographical best, combining brilliantly recollected memory with compelling wit and perfect prose.

Neviditelná města - Italo Calvino

Ve slavné knize Itala Calvina Neviditelná města vypráví Marco Polo na dvoře Kublaj chána postupně o městech, nazvaných exotickými ženskými jmény; vypráví o místech, která navštívil, i těch imaginárních, která nejsou na žádné mapě. Přesně odměřenými slovy popisuje krajiny a města, jejichž znaky a tvary, věže, mosty, domy, ulice jsou nám povědomé, jako by zhmotňovaly naše zkušenosti, poznatky a sny. V Markově podání jsou všechna města variantou téhož modelu - jeho rodných Benátek. Jejich podoba je neomezená, může mít tolik odlišných tváří, kolik jich má sám život ve svém trvání, zániku i věčné obnově. Calvino rozkládá představu prapůvodního města na jedenáct motivů, které navzájem kombinuje a začleňuje do komplexní struktury, jež má odrážet půdorys labyrintu současného světa.

Last Comes the Raven - Italo Calvino

These early short stories brim with the beauty of the Italian countryside and seaside, telling tales both sumptuous and unnerving.Calvino''s war-torn Italy is vivid, intense, almost hyper-real. A trio of greedy burglars rob a pastry shop, a boy offers a girl presents of toads and insects from the garden, a wealthy family invites a rustic goatherd to lunch, only to mock him. In every story he reveals the hidden meaning beneath the surface of everyday life, and the ludicrousness of war.Some stories from Last Comes the Raven have been previously available in the collection Adam, One Afternoon. This new expanded collection includes several stories newly translated by Ann Goldstein and is an important addition to Calvino''s legacy.''In Last Comes the Raven, a collection of early stories, we find the man behind the magician'' New Yorker

Nesnadné idyly - Italo Calvino

Tematicky i stylisticky různorodé povídky souboru Nesnadné idyly, jenž v českém překladu vychází poprvé, spojuje soustředěná vnímavost ke všemu, čím člověk o sobě vypovídá a čím věci vypovídají o člověku. Úvodní texty jsou vzpomínkami na krajinu dětství, na Ligurii - magický prostor mezi mořem a skalami. Zároveň jsou nejzřetelnějším dokladem lyrického základu calvinovského "realismu", jedinečného daru básnického vidění, schopnosti předávat slovem neobyčejně přesné, čisté a emocionálně působivé obrazy. Další povídky evokují zkušenost odboje, války a násilí a bývají charakterizovány jako vyprávění s prvky napětí a hrůzy. Jiné čerpají z poválečného chaosu a zachycují obyčejné hrdiny s jejich primitivními touhami. Řada textů si pohrává s pohádkovou topikou a zvláštní blok pak představují povídky o prosťáčku Marcovaldovi, ve kterých je zobrazen fenomén moderního velkoměsta. Nesnadné idyly dokazují, že Italo Calvino je i v rámci maupassantovsko-čechovovské povídkové tradice zcela výjimečným autorem.

Nesnadné vzpomínky - Italo Calvino

V Nesnadných vzpomínkách zobrazuje Italo Calvino proměnu italské společnosti a vztahů mezi generacemi - mezi otci "hospodáři" a vykořeněnými syny. Povídky z venkovského prostředí Ligurie, ve kterých je tematizován poválečný rozklad tradičních hodnot a společenství, jsou doplněny prózami, v nichž se autor vrátil do let svého dospívání. Vzpomíná na klíčové okamžiky, jež podmínily jeho příští životní volby: na vyhlášení války, brutální anexi francouzského Mentonu a na první zkušenost s válečným chaosem. Přestože mnohdy nese líčení rozchodu se starým světem příznak trpkosti a rozčarování, nepostrádají jeho povídky ani komický ráz a znovu jen potvrzují Calvinovo vypravěčské mistrovství

Kosmické grotesky - Italo Calvino

Kosmické grotesky vznikaly v šedesátých letech 20. století a Italo Calvino jimi definitivně opouštěl klasické vyprávěcí postupy, neboť patřil k autorům, kteří neustále propátrávají nové cesty. Výchozím materiálem těchto povídek tentokrát nebyly lidské příběhy, nýbrž astrofyzikální a matematické teorie o vzniku vesmíru, fyzikální či genetické objevy a také filozofické spekulace. To vše nám zprostředkovává proteovský vypravěč jménem Qfwfq, jenž je - ve svých nekonečných proměnách - obrazem samotného vesmíru. Qfwfq je nejprve soustředěn v bodu, z něhož v důsledku velkého třesku vznikne kosmos, posléze koluje vesmírem jako shluk atomů, je minerálem, podílí se na vývoji druhů, v jisté fázi je mimo jiné i dinosaurem. Rozpomíná se na miliardy let trvající historii světa a to, co si vybavuje, je velmi mnohotvárné a také nanejvýš podivuhodné… Předkládaný nový český překlad poprvé přináší kompletní vydání těchto kosmikomických příběhů.

Six Memos for the Next Millennium - Italo Calvino

''Words connect the visible track to the invisible thing ... like a fragile makeshift bridge cast across the void''With imagination and wit, Italo Calvino sought to define the virtues of the great literature of the past in order to shape the values of the future. His effervescent last works, left unfinished at his death, were the Charles Eliot Norton lectures, which he was due to deliver at Harvard in 1985-86. These surviving drafts explore the literary concepts closest to his heart: Lightness, Quickness, Multiplicity, Exactitude and Visibility (Constancy was to be the sixth), in serious yet playful essays that reveal his debt to the comic strip and the folktale. This collection, now in a fluent and supple new translation, is a brilliant précis of a great writer whose legacy will endure through the millennium he addressed.Translated by Geoffrey Brock ''The book I give most to people is Six Memos for the Next Millennium'' Ali Smith''Wonderful . . . full of wit and erudition'' Daily Telegraph

Když jedné zimní noci cestující - Italo Calvino

Román Když jedné zimní noci cestující je rafinovaným beletristickým dílem, je to "kniha o knihách", i o sobě samé. Kombinují se zde dvě narativní linky - tou první je příběh Čtenáře a Čtenářky, druhou tvoří úvodní kapitoly deseti románů, které se mezi sebou rozmanitými způsoby proplétají, a tím vyvolávají napětí a neustále živí čtenářovu zvědavost. Calvinovi se tak do struktury jednoho románu podařilo zakomponovat fragmenty různých prozaických žánrů, které napodobuje a paroduje. Četba této neobvyklé knihy vyvolává otázky po vztahu "psaného" a "nepsaného", literatury a skutečnosti či autora a čtenáře, ale zároveň se stává zábavným literárním dobrodružstvím.

Mafia Republic: Italy's Criminal Curse. Cosa Nostra, 'Ndrangheta and Camorra from 1946 to the Present - Dickie John

In MAFIA REPUBLIC, John Dickie, Professor of Italian Studies at University College, London and author of the international bestsellers COSA NOSTRA and MAFIA BROTHERHOODS, shows how the Italian mafias have grown in power and become more and more interconnected, with terrifying consequences. In 1946, Italy became a democratic Republic, thereby entering the family of modern western nations. But deep within Italy there lurked a forgotten curse: three major criminal brotherhoods, whose methods had been honed over a century of experience. As Italy grew, so did the mafias. Sicily''s Cosa Nostra, the camorra from Naples, and the mysterious ''ndrangheta from Calabria stood ready to enter the wealthiest and bloodiest period of their long history.Italy made itself rich by making scooters, cars and handbags. The mafias carved out their own route to wealth through tobacco smuggling, construction, kidnapping and narcotics. And as criminal business grew exponentially, the mafias grew not just more powerful, but became more interconnected.By the 1980s, Southern Italy was on the edge of becoming a narco-state. The scene was set for a titanic confrontation between heroic representatives of the law, and mafiosi who could no longer tolerate any obstacle to their ambitions. This was a war for Italy''s future as a civilized country. At its peak in 1992-93, the ''ndrangheta was beheading people in the street, and the Sicilian mafia murdered its greatest enemies, investigating magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, before embarking on a major terrorist bombing campaign on the Italian mainland.Today, the long shadow of mafia history still hangs over a nation wracked by debt, political paralysis, and widespread corruption. While police put their lives on the line every day, one of Silvio Berlusconi''s ministers said that Italy had to ''learn to live with the mafia''; suspicions of mafia involvement still surround some of the country''s most powerful media moguls and politicians. The latest investigations show that its reach is astonishing: it controls much of Europe''s wholesale cocaine trade, and representatives from as far away as Germany, Canada and Australia come to Calabria to seek authorisation for their affairs. Just when it thought it had finally contained the mafia threat, Italy is now discovering that it harbours the most global criminal network of them all.The Financial Times described John Dickie''s MAFIA BROTHERHOODS as ''Powered by the sort of muscular prose that one associates with great detective fiction'' and in MAFIA REPUBLIC John Dickie again marries outstanding scholarship with compelling storytelling.

With a mix of gastronomy, food science, history, cultural references, legend, lore, charts, graphs, photos, and illustrations, every one of the 400 pages in Let''s Eat Italy! is an alluring and amusing journey into Italian food.Readers will find recipes for classic Italian dishes spanning all regions, like pappa al pomodoro, Bolognese, risi e bisi, risotto, focaccia, frittata, and so much more-all accompanied by photos and delightfully entertaining information on the origins and modern uses of the foods. There''s an ode to the panettone, the traditional Christmas sweet delight. A dedication to the magic of basil, Italy''s "royal" herb. A love story between pasta and potatoes that examines the many dishes that marry these two starches in delicious harmony. And, of course, pasta information aplenty; it''s featured in guides like that on the ultimate noodle, spaghetti, which includes all the different forms, the top spaghetti artisans in Italy, and the semolina flour mills and farmers. True Italians speak espresso, so readers will delight in the poster-like graphic that depicts 27 different types of espresso drinks. Tips for the kitchen include cooking beans in a chianti bottle-a trick Tuscan nonnas have been using for ages in the dish known as fagioli al fiasco. Learn how contemporary food trends (like the oh-so-hip orange wine, which Italians have been drinking for nearly 8,000 years) trace their roots to Italy. But the influence of Italian food doesn''t stop at the table-an entire spread looks at the Italian Mafia''s favourite dishes as seen in Hollywood, through the lenses of Scorsese, Leone, and Coppola.

Italy 1900. A Portrait in Color - Marc Walter, Sabine Arqué, Giovanni Fanelli

Delve into Italy at the turn of the last century in this fascinating collection of photochromes and vintage-colored prints. Through Venice, Rome, Pisa, Florence, Naples, Vesuvius, Lake Como, and beyond, explore gorgeous landscapes and popular street scenes of this young country with an extraordinary history. Journey back to early 20th-century Italy “You may have the universe,” composer Giuseppe Verdi once said, “if I can have Italy.” Back in the mid-19th century, Verdi’s emotive language appealed to the patriotic sentiments of an emergent nation state. After decades of struggle and bloodshed, the movement known as Risorgimento triumphed with the 1861 proclamation of Italian Unity, assembling disparate kingdoms, territories, and borders that had hitherto been ruled by Austria, the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Papal States. Today, Verdi’s call to Italy resounds not only for its native patriots, but for the millions around the world who look upon this peninsula shaped like a boot and delight in a land of light, art, and sensuality. This collection is a fascinating visual document of Italy at the turn of the century, gathering photochromes and vintage colored prints. From coast to coast, through classical sites and Renaissance wonders, down beguiling Venetian waterways and along the dappled shores of the Amalfi coast, each evocative image impresses as much for its color clarity as for the vivid evocation of times gone by. As if in an enchanted dream, we walk an empty and dusklit St. Mark’s Square, stroll the shady Uffizi courtyard alone, and find just a few horse carts pulled up in front of the Pantheon in Rome. In place of cameras, guides, and tour groups, we find ordinary traders and laborers, quiet street scenes, and humble settlements. As sunlit charms and historic reality combine, the result is an unrivaled record of this young nation that fought hard to exist, and went on to win the world’s hearts. The editors Graphic designer, photographer, and collector Marc Walter (1949–2018) specialized in vintage travel photographs, particularly photochromes, of which he held one of the world’s largest collections. He published numerous books featuring images from his collection as well as his own photographs. Sabine Arqué is a photo researcher, editor, and author. She has collaborated on numerous publications on the themes of travel, the history of tourism, and photography.

Jsou považováni za spokojený národ, který se rád baví a vyniká v gastronomii, módě a designu. Jsou známí svým famózním zpěvem a kuchařským uměním a příšernými organizačními schopnostmi. Od Italů se očekává, že budou krásní a démoničtí milenci. Od Italek, že budou vášnivé a atraktivní, báječné kuchařky a bezmezně milující matky. Se stejnou vášní se Italové věnují také stolování. Když dojde na přípravu jakéhokoliv jídla, italské nadšení nezná mezí. Pomyslnou tečkou je dobré víno, které sice popíjí obvykle jen u jídla, ale to neznamená, že by se nějak omezovali... Itálie je také zemí protikladů. Je to země katolické církve i země mafie. Její technické vymoženosti patří k nejpokročilejším na celém světě a její kanalizace k těm nejzastaralejším.

Ageing with Smartphones in Urban Italy

?Who am I at this (st)age? Where am I and where should I be, and how and where should I live?? These questions, which individuals ask themselves throughout their lives, are among the central themes of this book, which presents an anthropological account of the everyday experiences of age and ageing in an inner-city neighbourhood in Milan, and in places and spaces beyond. Ageing with Smartphones in Urban Italy explores ageing and digital technologies amidst a backdrop of rapid global technological innovation, including mHealth (mobile health) and smart cities, and a number of wider socio-economic and technological transformations that have brought about significant changes in how people live, work and retire, and how they communicate and care for each other.Based on 16 months of urban digital ethnographic research in Milan, the smartphone is shown to be a ?constant companion? in, of and for contemporary life. It accompanies people throughout the day and night, and through individual and collective experiences of movement, change and rupture. Smartphone practices tap into and reflect the moral anxieties of the present moment, while posing questions related to life values and purpose, identities and belonging, privacy and sociability.Through her extensive investigation, Shireen Walton argues that ageing with smartphones in this contemporary urban Italian context is about living with ambiguity, change and contradiction, as well as developing curiosities about a changing world, our changing selves, and changing relationships with and to others. Ageing with smartphones is about figuring out how best to live together, differently. Praise for Ageing with Smartphones in Urban Italy 'This book would definitely be of interest to both students and scholars of mobile communication with its rich ethnographic account of the experiences of ageing with smartphones.? European Journal of Communication'[the books] are ethnographically rich. Unobscured by dense theoretical language, they are straightforwardly composed, usefully illustrated, and clearly organized. What is more, they offer a wealth of tactics for how to conduct digitally oriented research....The first two project monographs... are finely wrought ethnographic studies of digital technology and ageing in Ireland and Italy' Journal of Anthropological Research'This book, written in clear language, will be of great value to a diverse audience interested in the interplay between aging, digitalization, and sociality at the level of practices and discourses in multicultural Italian society.' Anthropology & Aging'Situated within a multi-ethnic neighbourhood in Milan, Italy, this book serves as a highly accessible, in-depth monograph focusing on mid- and later adulthood, within which are integrated a judicious number of instructive graphics and videos which amplify this exciting new approach to ethnography.' Journal of the Royal Anthropological Society (JRAI)

Modern Italy - Anna Cento Bull

The history of modern Italy is characterized by recurrent cultural and political projects of modernity, rejuvenation, and regeneration; projects which often had their roots in a widespread dissatisfaction with social and political reality, and perceived moral corruption. The Risorgimento, the movement leading to Italian Unification in 1861, explicitly linked the quest for national unity to a process of moral regeneration and progress. Later forms of nationalism and the rise of fascism in the first two decades of the twentieth century advocated a spiritual revolution and the moulding of new Italians through war and violence. The tragic outcome of Italian fascism led to the emergence of new visions of progress during the post-war First Republic, in which European integration was embraced with conviction. In the last 25 years a project of of modernization epitomized by Silvio Berlusconi has characterized Italian politics, invoking a mixture of nationalist themes and an uncritical embracing of consumer and media culture. In this Very Short Introduction Anna Cento Bull addresses the question of what modernity means to Italy, and asks what modern Italy stands for. She considers Italy''s political system and style of government, and looks at its economic modernisation and issues with emigration, internal migration and immigration. Bull concludes by looking at the Italian culture and lifestyle, including modern art and architecture, cinema, literature, gastronomy, fashion and sport.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.

Women’s healthcare is in crisis.

Italy: Emilia-Romagna - Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls

The new, extensively updated second edition of Bradt''s Emilia-Romagna is the most thorough and in-depth guidebook available to this entire north Italian region (not just Bologna and the main cities). This region blends the best of Italy: a gastronomic hub, elegant cities with vibrant cultural offerings and a coastline favoured by the Italians themselves. Emilia-Romagna combines the rich farmlands of the Po plain with dazzling cities strung like pearls along the straight-as-a-die Via Emilia. The regional capital, Bologna, is home to the world''s oldest university, while the smaller cities are strikingly different, year-round destinations. Parma (the town of Correggio) has opera at its heart and prosciutto to delight the palate; Modena, with its stupendous medieval cathedral and world-famous balsamic vinegar, once home to Pavarotti and still to Ferrari; Ferrara boasts the House of Este''s spectacular Renaissance architecture; Ravenna glitters with Byzantine mosaics; and Rimini - immortalised by Fellini in Amarcord - offers the hedonistic attractions of the coast. Then there are the Apennines along the Tuscan border, where you can venture beyond the flatlands of the Po to go trekking, cycling and skiing. Here lie some of the region''s prettiest villages and towns, including Vignola, famous for cherries, and lovely medieval Castell''Arquato and the beautifully preserved Brisighella (famed for its olive oil and Moretto artichokes). Meanwhile, to the east, Romagna holds long sandy Adriatic beaches, wildlife-filled lagoons around the Po Delta, and the world''s smallest republic, San Marino. Written by expert authors Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, possibly the world''s most experienced travel writers on Italy, and updated by Italy aficionados Andrew and Suzanne Edwards, Bradt''s Emilia-Romagna is the definitive guide to this diverse, authentic area. A strong focus on historical context, art and culture is complemented by extensive practical detail for travelling around - from restaurants and accommodation to shopping and the FICO Eataly food theme park. New coverage in this edition includes literary tourism near Rimini and Ferrara, the Fellini Museum, the Fondazione MAST technology museum, the Via Romagna cycle path, birdwatching in the Po Delta, and Po Grande Reserve. With Bradt''s Emilia-Romagna you can discover all of this and more.
