Story
The Douay Rheims New Testament, published in 1582, is a translation of St Jerome's Latin Vulgate which dates from the fourth century. It influenced production of the King James version of the Bible to come some years afterward, while being the only Roman Catholic authorized vernacular scriptures up until the middle twentieth century. Although updated linguistically in the 18th and 19th centuries to provide easier understanding by the laity and reduce its use of Latinized words, it strove to be faithful to the original translation. The work's importance is that it remains the scriptural texts ...

La muerte de Iván Ilich (ruso: Смерть Ивана Ильича, Smert Ivana Ilichá), publicada por primera vez en 1886, es una novela corta del escritor ruso Lev Tolstói. Dentro de su bibliografía, se encuentra hacia el final de su producción. Para algunos analistas de la obra de Tolstói, esta historia reflejaría las luchas intelectuales y espirituales que poco tiempo atrás el autor había atravesado, en la crisis que tuvo cuando alcanzó los 50 años y que superaría con un radical cambio espiritual. En la novela, los temas tratados son la naturaleza tanto de la vida como de la ...

Un savant, Samuel Ferguson, accompagné de son domestique Joe et de son ami Dick Kennedy entreprend de traverser le continent africain — alors incomplètement exploré — à l'aide d'un ballon gonflé à l'hydrogène. Il a en effet inventé un dispositif qui, en lui évitant de perdre du gaz ou de devoir jeter du lest pour régler son altitude, autorise les plus longs voyages. Ce voyage est supposé relier les explorations faites par Burton et Speke en Afrique orientale à celles de Heinrich Barth dans les régions du Sahara et du Tchad.

Il suo nome era Salvatore Chiappa, tortaio, ma soprattutto livornese. Tutti lo conoscevano come "Gagarin". Da cosa venisse il soprannome con cui la gente di Livorno e, conseguentemente e per traslato, del mondo intero, lo identificava è cosa interessante ma del tutto ignota.

Story
L'essenza dell'Abruzzo è declinata in questa novella nei suoi peculiari aspetti culturali. Lo sguardo attento e compiaciuto di Valerio Di Stefano ci accompagna attraverso le viuzze di un paesino dove la vita scorre ancora lenta, tra i profumi e i sapori di una terra "forte e gentile" come i suoi abitanti. "Lo schiaffatone" si differenzia completamente dalle precedenti narrazioni, mantenendo però il solito marchio di fabbrica: un'ironia inconfondibile e sottile che, in queste pagine, diventa bonaria ed empatica.

Story
"Metello" è un romanzo storico di formazione che seguendo le vicende di un eroe popolare abbraccia un arco di tempo che va dal 1875 al 1902, il periodo forse più difficile e complesso della storia italiana dopo l'Unità: gli anni delle violente repressioni governative nei confronti degli operai, che organizzandosi per la prima volta in sindacati, assumono progressiva e decisa coscienza dei propri diritti, si identificano in un partito unitario e scoprono una nuova arma: lo sciopero.

Story
"Il Gattopardo" è un romanzo di Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa che narra le trasformazioni avvenute nella vita e nella società in Sicilia durante il Risorgimento, dal momento del trapasso del regime borbonico alla transizione unitaria del Regno d'Italia, seguita alla spedizione dei Mille di Garibaldi. Dopo i rifiuti delle principali case editrici italiane (Mondadori, Einaudi, Longanesi), l'opera fu pubblicata postuma da Feltrinelli nel 1958, un anno dopo la morte dell'autore. Il tema della cucina nel romanzo e ai tempi in cui si svolge l'azione non è stato abbastanza investigato.

In questa breve ma completa lezione-conferenza, realizzata per l'Università della Terza Età di Roseto degli Abruzzi, si ripercorre l'esperienza erotica ma soprattutto culinaria di Dona Flor, protagonista del celeberrimo romanzo di Jorge Amado. Incatenata tra l'amore del primo marito Vadinho, debosciato e sciupafemmine, e quello del secondo, Teodoro, religioso e onesto farmacista, da cui Dona Flor avrà una vita agiata ma del tutto insoddisfacente sul piano sessuale, Dona Flor si improvvisa maestra di cucina.
