Georgiana Spencer Cavendish Lo Spirito Dell'aria
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Georgiana Spencer Cavendish
EAN: 9788893802680
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Luci ingannevoli e tetre ombre si susseguono nel romanzo epistolare di una giovane nobildonna, Georgiana Cavendish, duchessa del Devonshire, che prende spunto dalle proprie delusioni per raccontare le disavventure di una coetanea, una ragazza originaria del Galles che, dopo il matrimonio con il dissoluto Lord Stanley, sembra destinata a perdersi nel gorgo della più deleteria mondanità londinese. Sarà un misterioso sedicente \"spirito dell'aria\" a redimerla e a introdurla, come un autentico mistagogo, ai misteri dell'animo umano, prima di rivelare la propria identità e di realizzare, così, la felicità di entrambi. Lo spirito dell'aria (1779), scritto con uno stile limpido ed elegante, ispirato ai modelli dei gradi maestri, da Richardson a Rousseau, ritrae dall'interno (cosa rara) l'aristocrazia georgiana della seconda metà del Settecento e offre un impietoso ritratto dei suoi costumi e delle sue dissolutezze. Le moderne edizioni inglesi e americane hanno consentito, dopo quasi due secoli di oblio, di riscoprire l'importanza di un'opera, qui presentata per la prima volta in traduzione italiana, il cui successo dipese dal fatto che dichiarava apertamente il tratto più caratteristico della nobiltà inglese del tempo: la più completa e spudorata mancanza di cuore.

Stephen Skinner;rafal T. Prinke;georgiana Hedesan The Splendor Solis: The World's Most Famous Alchemical Manuscript
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Stephen Skinner;rafal T. Prinke;georgiana Hedesan
EAN: 9781786782052
Categoria: Libri e riviste
A magnificent edition of Splendor Solis for all those interested in alchemy, magic and mysterious manuscripts. Popularly attributed to the legendary figure Salomon Trismosin, Splendor Solis (‘Splendour of the Sun’) is the most beautiful alchemical manuscript ever made, with 22 fabulous illustrations rich in allegorical and mystical symbolism. The paintings are given a fitting showcase in this new Watkins edition, which accompanies them with Joscelyn Godwin’s excellent contemporary translation of the original 16th-century German text, as well as interpretation from alchemical experts Stephen Skinner and Georgiana Hedesan, and from Rafal T. Prinke, an authority in central and Eastern European esoteric manuscripts. \n\nStephen Skinner explains the symbolism of both the text and the illustrations, suggesting that together they describe the physical process of the alchemical transmutation of base metal into gold. Rafal T. Prinke explains the theories about the authorship of both text and illustrations, discussing Splendor Solis as the turning point in alchemical iconography passing from the medieval tradition to that of the Baroque and the reasons for the misattribution of Splendor Solis to Poysel and Trismosin. Georgiana Hedesan looks at the legendary figure of Salomon Trismosin and his creation by followers of Theophrastus Paracelsus as part of an attempt to integrate their master in a lineage of ancient alchemical philosophers. The images are taken from the British Library manuscript Harley 3469, the finest example of the Splendor Solis to survive.

The London districts of Islington and Clerkenwell are charming to explore. Within their streets are the greatest variety of architectural styles, ranging from Tudor, Georgian and Victorian to modernist and contemporary twenty-first-century design.\n\nIn Islington & Clerkenwell in 50 Buildings, author Lucy McMurdo presents a well-illustrated and engaging perspective of the rich architectural heritage of both areas. Islington has a wonderful vibrancy. Its main thoroughfare of Upper Street overflows with bars, restaurants, cafes, pubs and clubs, giving rise to the nickname 'Supper Street'. Hostelries have lined this street for centuries. It was here, on the main route into the capital, that herdsmen bringing cattle and sheep to Smithfield broke their journey from the north. Until the growth of industry in the 1800s, Islington was renowned for its river, springs and meadows, and a recreational destination for hunters and archers. Industrialisation resulted in an increasing population, transforming Islington's character and replacing fields with terraced houses, Georgian squares, gin distilleries, warehouses, depots and factories.\n\nNeighbouring Clerkenwell has always been more densely populated. Until the 1530s it was famous for its monastery, priory and nunnery and, in the late 1600s, it was a haven for French Huguenot immigrants, and later refugees and workers from Ireland, Prussia and Italy. For hundreds of years the River Fleet acted as Clerkenwell's main artery and, together with the district's many springs, was a prime reason for the area's development. The French Huguenots who settled here brought skills in watchmaking, precision engineering, printing, bookbinding and weaving - many of which are still found in the area today.

Investita da una tormenta di neve, la città è un miscuglio di etnie e fazioni politiche. Ci sono turchi, curdi, georgiani, nazionalisti laici e integralisti religiosi. C'è la polizia segreta, c'è l'esercito e ci sono i terroristi islamici. Ka inizia la sua indagine, mentre la neve continua a cadere e le strade vengono chiuse. Kars è isolata. In città, Ka rivede dopo diversi anni Ipek, una compagna di università molto bella. Ka se ne innamora e sogna di portarla con sé in Germania. Per realizzare questo sogno, farà di tutto. La situazione precipita quando una compagnia di teatro mette in scena un dramma degli anni Venti, scritto in sostegno della laicità dello Stato fondato da Atatùrk, dove una donna, coraggiosamente, brucia il chador in pubblico. Durante lo spettacolo alcuni giovani del liceo religioso inscenano una protesta. E la serata finisce nel sangue. Ka viene coinvolto suo malgrado. È uno spettatore imparziale, ma molto confuso. Non sa nemmeno rispondere alla domanda: credi in Dio? Sostiene che a Kars ha ritrovato Allah, ma poi l'unica cosa che gli interessa è la ricerca, molto occidentale, della felicità. Il dilemma di Ka ruota intorno al confronto tra Occidente e Islam.

Lady Georgiana Rannoch is just back from her honeymoon with dashing Darcy O'Mara when a friend in need pulls her into a twisted Gothic tale of betrayal, deception and, most definitely, murder. . . .\n\nI am a bit at loose ends at the moment. My cook, Queenie, is making my new role as mistress of Eynsleigh something akin to constant torture as Darcy is off on another one of his top secret jaunts. And Grandad is busy helping wayward youths avoid lives of crime. So when my dearest friend, Belinda, inherits an old cottage in Cornwall and begs me to go with her to inspect the property, I jump at the chance.\n\nAfter a heart-stopping journey in Belinda's beast of a motorcar, we arrive at the creaky old cottage called White Sails and quickly realize that it is completely uninhabitable. Just when I'm starting to wonder if I would have been better off trying to get Queenie to cook a roast that hasn't been burnt beyond all recognition, we meet Rose Summers, a woman Belinda knew as a child when she spent time in Cornwall. Rose invites us to stay at Trewoma Hall, the lovely estate now owned by her husband, Tony.\n\nBelinda confesses that she never liked Rose and had a fling with Tony years ago, so staying with them is far from ideal but beggars can't be choosers as they say. Trewoma is not the idyllic house Belinda remembers. There's something claustrophobic and foreboding about the place. Matters aren't helped by the oppressively efficient housekeeper Mrs. Mannering or by the fact that Tony seems to want to rekindle whatever he and Belinda once had right under his wife's nose.\n\nOur increasingly awkward visit soon turns deadly when a member of the household is found murdered and all clues point to Belinda as the prime suspect. I soon learn that some long buried secrets have come back to haunt those in residence at Trewoma Hall and I'll need to sift through the ruins of their past so Belinda doesn't lose her chance at freedom in the present. . . .

Lady Georgiana Rannoch is just back from her honeymoon with dashing Darcy O'Mara when a friend in need pulls her into a twisted Gothic tale of betrayal, deception and, most definitely, murder. . . .\n\nI am a bit at loose ends at the moment. My cook, Queenie, is making my new role as mistress of Eynsleigh something akin to constant torture as Darcy is off on another one of his top secret jaunts. And Grandad is busy helping wayward youths avoid lives of crime. So when my dearest friend, Belinda, inherits an old cottage in Cornwall and begs me to go with her to inspect the property, I jump at the chance.\n\nAfter a heart-stopping journey in Belinda's beast of a motorcar, we arrive at the creaky old cottage called White Sails and quickly realize that it is completely uninhabitable. Just when I'm starting to wonder if I would have been better off trying to get Queenie to cook a roast that hasn't been burnt beyond all recognition, we meet Rose Summers, a woman Belinda knew as a child when she spent time in Cornwall. Rose invites us to stay at Trewoma Hall, the lovely estate now owned by her husband, Tony.\n\nBelinda confesses that she never liked Rose and had a fling with Tony years ago, so staying with them is far from ideal but beggars can't be choosers as they say. Trewoma is not the idyllic house Belinda remembers. There's something claustrophobic and foreboding about the place. Matters aren't helped by the oppressively efficient housekeeper Mrs. Mannering or by the fact that Tony seems to want to rekindle whatever he and Belinda once had right under his wife's nose.\n\nOur increasingly awkward visit soon turns deadly when a member of the household is found murdered and all clues point to Belinda as the prime suspect. I soon learn that some long buried secrets have come back to haunt those in residence at Trewoma Hall and I'll need to sift through the ruins of their past so Belinda doesn't lose her chance at freedom in the present. . . .

The spa town of Bath has drawn visitors since the Roman’s built baths and a temple at the site of hot springs in the Avon valley. Bath Abbey was founded in the seventh century but it was in the eighteenth century that the town became the fashion centre of England. Bath’s Georgian architecture is one of its chief glories today but the city has seen many changes in the intervening years, not least the destruction caused by aerial bombardment during the Second World War. Post-war years saw new housing and commercial redevelopment in the city, museums opened, fresh industries established and the expansion of its two universities.\n\nIn Bath: The Postcard Collection author Alan Spree has drawn on a remarkable selection of old postcards to give a pictorial record of life in Bath in the past. Although some of historical Bath seen in these views has been lost, many landmarks have remained and will be familiar today. This fascinating collection of images will be of interest to those who have lived in Bath or know it well.

WINNER OF A CHOICE OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE AWARD 2018\n\nIn the early twentieth century, Marguerite Zorach and Georgiana Brown Harbeson were at the forefront of the modern embroidery movement in the United States. In the first scholarly examination of their work and influence, Cynthia Fowler explores the arguments presented by these pioneering women and their collaborators for embroidery to be considered as art.\n\nUsing key exhibitions and contemporary criticism, The Modern Embroidery Movement focuses extensively on the individual work of Zorach and Brown Harbeson, casting a new light on their careers.

LONDON: a settlement founded by the Romans, occupied by the Saxons, conquered by the Danes and ruled by the Normans. This changeful place became a medieval maze of alleys and courtyards, later to be chequered with grand estates of Georgian splendour. It swelled with industry and became the centre of the largest empire in history. And having risen from the rubble of the Blitz, it is now one of the greatest cities in the world.\n\nFrom the prehistoric occupants of the Thames Valley to the preoccupied commuters of today, Simon Jenkins brings together the key events, individuals and trends in London's history to create a matchless portrait of the capital. He masterfully explains the battles that determined how London was conceived and built - and especially the perennial conflict between money and power.\n\nBased in part on his experiences of and involvement in the events that shaped the post-war city, and with his trademark colour and authority, Jenkins shows above all how London has taken shape over more than two thousand years. Fascinating for locals and visitors alike, this is narrative history at its finest, from the most ardent protector of our heritage.\n\n'A handsome book ... full of the good judgements one might hope for from such a sensible and readable commentator, and they alone are worth perusing for pleasure and food for thought' Michael Wood, New Statesman on A Short History of England\n\n'Any passably cultured inhabitant of the British Isles should ask for, say, three or four copies of this book for Christmas...I can imagine no better companion on a voyage across England' Max Hastings, Daily Telegraph on England's Thousand Best Houses

'Excellent...

It was perhaps the last age of true freedom before the arrival of the stifling world of Victorian morality.\n\nAnd like all periods in history, it was an age of many contradictions - where Beethoven's thundering Fifth Symphony could premier in the same year that saw Jane Austen craft the delicate sensitivities of Persuasion.\n\nThis is history at its most exciting, physical, visceral - the past not as something to be studied but as lived experience.

Mary Lennox didn’t think about death until the day it knocked politely on her bedroom door and invited itself in. When a terrible accident leaves her orphaned at fifteen, she is sent to the wilderness of the Georgian Bay to live with an uncle she's never met.\n\nAt first the impassive, calculating girl believes this new manor will be just like the one she left in Toronto: cold, isolating, and anything but cheerful, where staff is treated as staff and never like family. But as she slowly allows her heart to open like the first blooms of spring, Mary comes to find that this strange place and its strange people - most of whom are Indigenous self-named 'halfbreeds' - may be what she can finally call home.

Alla vigilia della Prima guerra mondiale, nella cosmopolita Baku – «la città europea più a est del mondo» –, il giovane azero musulmano Ali Khan Shirvanshir si innamora di Nino Kipiani, una principessa georgiana cristiano-ortodossa. L'appassionante, delicata e talora fiabesca vicenda dei due giovani deve però fare i conti con l'irrompere della Storia: l'incrinarsi dell'impero degli zar porta con sé la rottura dell'equilibrio e della pacifica convivenza tra etnie e religioni. E a cascata, il risorgere di antichi tabù provoca laceranti, profonde incomprensioni, mentre il nascere di sentimenti nazionalisti suscita conflitti, ai quali anche Ali prenderà parte combattendo per l'indipendenza del suo popolo. Vero e proprio «classico moderno», Ali e Nino (il sottotitolo precisa: Una storia d'amore ) riesce a non perdere mai la sua delicatezza di danza che unisce Occidente e Oriente, intrecciando modernità e radici profonde della cultura azera.

L'avventurosa vita di Jack Ballister mirabilmente narrata dalla straordinaria e assai suggestiva penna di Howard Pyle. Inevitabilmente ci si ritroverà nell'Inghilterra georgiana del diciottesimo secolo, nelle neonate colonie americane, nella Virginia costiera, nelle piantagioni di tabacco, a bordo di vascelli comandati da ufficiali coraggiosi, parteciperemo alle scellerate imprese del pirata Barbanera, soffriremo, ci emozioneremo per un paio di cuori trepidanti che cercheranno di sfuggire a una sorte che il destino beffardo ha per loro, perfidamente preparato. Ma leggere Jack Ballister è molto di più: è un viaggio nel nostro “io” più profondo! In questo eccezionale capolavoro letterario, Pyle riesce davvero a trasportarci lì e grazie alla sua coinvolgente prosa non solo ci regala una descrizione della vita, ma ci fornisce la chiave per aprire tutte le porte che la compongono; per questo motivo Jack Ballister è un libro che tutti dovrebbero leggere, grandi e piccoli, perché se al mondo c'è una verità che caratterizza la nostra esistenza, di certo essa si trova magistralmente descritta proprio tra queste pagine.

Investita da una tormenta di neve, la città è un miscuglio di etnie e fazioni politiche. Ci sono turchi, curdi, georgiani, nazionalisti laici e integralisti religiosi. C'è la polizia segreta, c'è l'esercito e ci sono i terroristi islamici. Ka inizia la sua indagine, mentre la neve continua a cadere e le strade vengono chiuse. Kars è isolata. In città, Ka rivede dopo diversi anni Ipek, una compagna di università molto bella. Ka se ne innamora e sogna di portarla con sé in Germania. Per realizzare questo sogno, farà di tutto. La situazione precipita quando una compagnia di teatro mette in scena un dramma degli anni Venti, scritto in sostegno della laicità dello Stato fondato da Atatùrk, dove una donna, coraggiosamente, brucia il chador in pubblico. Durante lo spettacolo alcuni giovani del liceo religioso inscenano una protesta. E la serata finisce nel sangue. Ka viene coinvolto suo malgrado. È uno spettatore imparziale, ma molto confuso. Non sa nemmeno rispondere alla domanda: credi in Dio? Sostiene che a Kars ha ritrovato Allah, ma poi l'unica cosa che gli interessa è la ricerca, molto occidentale, della felicità. Il dilemma di Ka ruota intorno al confronto tra Occidente e Islam.

As thirty-fifth in line for the throne, Lady Georgiana Rannoch may not be the most sophisticated young woman, but she knows her table manners. It's forks on the left, knives on the right, not in His Majesty's back.\n\nHere I am thinking the education I received at my posh Swiss finishing school would never come in handy. And while it hasn't landed me a job, or a husband, it has convinced Her Majesty the Queen, and the Dowager Duchess to enlist my help. I have been entrusted with grooming Jack Altringham, the Duke's newly discovered heir fresh from the Outback of Australia, for high society.\n\nThe upside is I am to live in luxury at one of England's most gorgeous stately homes. But upon arrival at Kingsdowne Place, my dearest Darcy has been sent to fetch Jack, leaving me stuck in a manor full of miscreants, none of whom are too pleased with the discovery of my new ward.\n\nAnd no sooner has the lad been retrieved than the Duke announces he wants to choose his own heir. With the house in a hubbub over the news, Jack's hunting knife somehow finds its way into the Duke's back. Eyes fall, backs turn, and fingers point to the young heir. As if the rascal wasn't enough of a handful, now he's suspected of murder. Jack may be wild, but I'd bet the crown jewels it wasn't he who killed the Duke

Stalin previde che, dopo la sua morte, sulla sua tomba sarebbe stata gettata abbondante spazzatura, ma il vento della storia l'avrebbe ripulita. I grandi crimini dello stalinismo sono un fatto assodato. E tuttavia, nella Russia attuale, la popolarità e la suggestione del dittatore georgiano ritornano prepotentemente. Questo libro, avvalendosi di una vasta documentazione originale, ricostruisce i tratti e i paradossi di questo inquietante protagonista del Novecento, indagando i molti misteri che circondano la sua figura, la sua carriera politica e il suo sistema di potere. E scandagliando anche la sua vita privata e la sua cerchia più ristretta. Ma la domanda decisiva nell'era di Putin è se il culto della personalità sia davvero morto insieme al dittatore georgiano.

A stunning new look for the irresistible novel from Guardian-award-winning novelist, Jenny Valentine.\n\n\n Number 33 Georgiana Street houses many people and yet seems home to none. To runaway Sam it is a place to disappear. To Bohemia, it's just another blip between crises, as her mum ricochets off the latest boyfriend. Old Isobel acts like she owns the place, even though it actually belongs to Steve in the basement, who is always looking to squeeze in yet another tenant. Life there is a kind of ordered chaos. Like ants, they scurry about their business, crossing paths, following their own tracks, no questions asked.\n\n\n But it doesn't take much to upset the balance. Dig deep enough and you'll find that everyone has something to hide…
