Description

ldquo;... I rimpianti sono come chiodi fissi sul cuore; che vengono spinti a martellate dal tempo che passa...dilaniandolo con il suo ticchettio inesorabile...rdquo;.In queste due frasi; forse si racchiude tutto il significato di questo strano romanzo; assurdo e sorprendente fino alle ultime battute.Marco De Luca incontra se stesso; incontra chi diventeragrave; tra qualche anno: un uomo annientato dal rimpianto e dallinerzia di una vita scialba. Quel se stesso che lo metteragrave; in guardia; in un incontro fuori dallimmaginario.Carla; la donna con cui intraprende una storia particolare; in un rapporto indefinibile; saragrave; il personaggio principale di questo racconto; colei che; lo porteragrave; a capire di nuovo se stesso. Giorgia; la sua amatissima amica; saragrave; la voce di questo risveglio. Cristian; suo unico figlio nato dal matrimonio con Valeria; la sua unica ragione di vita.Un evento improvviso cambieragrave; il corso delle cose; sconvolgendo un po la vita dei personaggi di questa storia.Marco dovragrave; cogliere lattimo fuggente; nel silenzio del suo dolore; dovragrave; capire il momento; in cui il bivio lo porteragrave; a quella scelta che; in un dato momento della sua vita; cambieragrave; il corso delle cose. Un percorso segnato dai tre simboli del cammino verso il suo destino: il fiore profumato; la brezza dolce e consigliera; la stella splendente.E proprio come ldquo;Quando cade una stella...rdquo;; in un attimo di smarrimento e sorpresa; capiragrave; la strada da seguire.Una favola assurda; un misto irreale e autobiografico che commuove; diverte e lascia un misto dolce-amaro in un finale inaspettato. Buona lettura.

Shakespeares Comedies and Cultural AnthropologyBy DharmaThe author sets out to establish a connection between the early festive comedies of Shakespeare; and the long-standing traditional celebrations in rural England during holiday periods such as Christmas; Shrove Tuesday; MidSummers Eve; and May Day. Using 16th Century sources; he establishes a connection between these informal celebrations; plays; and progresses; and some of the characters; situations; and structure of the Comedies "Loves Labor Lost" a "Midsummer Nights Dream" and "Twelfth Night." He teases out of these sources the structure of humor; irony; and contradiction which enabled the rural people to poke fun at their lords; the landowners; and the church. He calls these festivities "Saturnalia" although they are more likely connected to early English or Germanic forms. Undoubtedly; this approach is useful in uncovering the meaning of topical references; common titles of playacting or Misrule; and establishing the audiences expectations at the time of their original performance.Unfortunately; the authors exposition is unnecessarily obtuse. His arguments are wandering; and his sentences are garbled. The frequent quotations from the plays are a welcome break from the turgid and at times completely meaningless explanatory paragraphs. This density is increased by the long chapter on "The Merchant of Venice" which seems to me almost completely mistaken. There are almost none of the elements which Barber has been clarifying in the earlier comedies in TMOV. He tries to extend his argument to include forms of humor; but this fails to clarify his intent. He tries to extend his cultural argument to show how Shakespeare enlarged the role of humor in drama; but fails to show how the earlier comedies relate to this achievement. It is a weak crutch to hold up an interpretation of one of Shakepeares most popular plays.From an historical point of view (published in 1959); this book holds an essential place in the recent trend of Shakespearian scholarship towards locating and referencing the plays in the time and culture in which they were written.
