I diari dei segreti - Revisited Edition
Adam Bell aveva una vita tranquilla a Johns Creek, una cittadina della Georgia, prima che il padre morisse. Un giorno di fine estate trova nello studio di casa un quaderno dalla fodera pregiata, ma non sa che nel momento in cui la penna bacia la carta evocherà un male antico di trecento anni, un orrore temuto nei secoli e avvolto da un'ombra di arcana stregoneria. Sara è una ragazza nuova in città, da un passato nebbioso, che si avvicina ad Adam e Miles, il suo migliore amico sin dal liceo. Insieme scopriranno volti nascosti della propria vita, celati fino ad ora da un frammento storico da cui tutto ha avuto inizio: i roghi di Salem.

This book deals with a topic that is gaining increasing critical attention, the literature of nonsense and absurdity. The volume gathers together twenty-one essays on various aspects of literary nonsense, according to criteria that are deliberately inclusive and eclectic. Its purpose is to offer a gallery of “nonsense practices” in literature across periods and countries, in the conviction that important critical insights can be gained from these juxtapositions. Most of the cases presented here deal with linguistic nonsense, but in a few instances the nonsense operates at the higher level of the interpretation of reality on the part of the subject—or of the impossibility thereof. The contributors to the volume are established and younger scholars from various countries. Chronologically, the chapters range widely from Dante to Václav Havel, and offer a large span of national literatures (Czech, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese) and literary genres (poetry, prose, and drama), inviting the readers to trace their own pathway and draw their own lines of connection. One point that emerges with particular force is the notion that what distinguishes literary nonsense is its somehow “regulated” nature. Literary nonsense thus sounds like a deliberate, last-ditch attempt to snatch order from the jaws of chaos—the speech of the “Fool” as opposed to the tale told by an idiot. It is this kind of post-Derridean retrieval of choice as the defining element in semantic transactions which is perhaps the most significant insight bequeathed by the study of nonsense to the analysis of poetry and literature in general.
Italian Prose Writers, 1900-1945
Essays on Italian writers of prose discusses the rise of the middle class and the increase in literacy that fostered the growth and production of popular fiction, the emergence of the novel as a genre reflecting the diversity of Italian society, the impact of positivism, the founding of Futurism in 1909 and its challenge of established genres and the poetics of fragmentism. Discusses the impact various social and political changes had on writers during this period.
