        Novelle

        by Anneliese Botond, Alejo Carpentier

        Barockkonzert, entstanden 1974, ist ein überaus anregender und vergnüglicher historisch- phantastischer Kurzroman des kubanischen Schriftstellers und Musikologen Alejo Carpentier (1904–1980). Ein Mexikaner, der zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts nach Venedig reist, erlebt im Ospedale della Pietà eine ausgefallene 'jam-session' mit Starbesetzung: Außer den siebzig Waisenmädchen des Orchesters wirken Vivaldi (Geige), Scarlatti (Cembalo) und Händel an der Orgel mit – dazu des Mexikaners Diener, der schwarze Filomeno (Schlagzeug).

        Echoes of Memory

        Selected Poems of Lucio Mariani

        by Lucio Mariani

        In Rachel Zucker's re-imagining of the Greek myth, Persephone is a daughter struggling to become a woman. Unlike the classical portrait of a maiden kidnapped by a tyrant, Zucker's Persephone chooses to travel to the Underworld and assume her role as Hades' queen. Caught between worlds - light and dark, innocence and power, a mother's protection and a lover's appeal - Persephone describes the strangeness of the Underworld and the problems of transformation and transgression. The arrangement of Zucker's poems reflects Persephone's travels between the Underworld and the Surface. Both spare and lyrical, they are written as entries in Persephone's diary and as letters between Persephone, Demeter and Hades. The language - strange, urgent, direct - is pulled and changed as Persephone journeys from one world to another revealing the struggle of unmaking and remaking the self.

        How to heal your child in total safety

        by Lucio Piermarini

        The invention of the finicky child and the on-demand approach to food. Why is my child not eating? Why this loss of appetite? Why must meals always be so such an ordeal?These are just a few of the many questions asked by parents, not only when weaning their children but even when feeding their newborns.Lucio Piermarini, pediatrician and author of the best-seller Io mi svezzo da solo! [I’ll do my weaning myself!], clarifies these and many more doubts from a basic premise - there are no healthy finicky children. The idea of the finicky child is a misconception, for in fact our bodies are perfectly capable of self-regulating the daily intake of food they need from day one.On the strength of sound scientific data and of thirty-years’ professional experience, and in an engaging and accessible style, the author illustrates the mechanism regulating appetite and the way the first days of life connect to and influence later stages of development. He emphasizes the need to respect the right of children to self-determination, illustrates the findings of cutting-edge food science research andexplains the role of the on-demand approach in allowing children to develop independence and appreciation of food.Not a text of pediatric nutrition but a go-to-guide for parents to better understand their children and learn to avoid unnecessary pressures by respecting the child’s instinctive and natural inclinations.

        Light in Art

        Perception and the Use of Light in the History of Art

        by Massimo Mariani

        Brimming with illustrations, this stunningly original book, presents the role of light in art throughout history. This richly illustrated book takes readers on a tour through the, history of art to learn how artists have used light (and its lack, of it as shadow) to make a statement about their subject matter, or create a specific mood, with examples by masters such as, Giotto, Botticelli, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Courbet, Turner, Klimt, and many more. It also includes theoretical approaches starting, with Plato and Aristotle, moving on to Descartes, Newton, Goethe and Chevreul. Throughout history, artists have played, with light, approaching it as both a subject and tool to create, the desired atmosphere, convey ideas, and inspire emotions, in the viewer. In medieval frescoes, rays of light stood for the, presence of the divine, while 17th-century Dutch painters used, light to indicate depth and construct an impactful setting. The, Impressionists wanted to depict light itself and the way it plays, upon the surfaces of objects in the form of colour. Photography, and film have used light, both natural and artificial, to make, things visible in the first place. This volume delves into these, and many more topics and constitutes a perfect reference book, for artists, students, scholars, and art lover.

        Citizenship as Politics

        International Perspectives from Adult Education

        by Lucio-Villegas, E.

        This book holds two main concepts: citizenship and adult education, and presents a diverse scope of ideas and experiences from different countries and perspectives in a rich indication to edify liberating practices and researches. Citizenship is closely linked with participation. When people are encouraged to take part in an authentic process of decision making, people do participate in public affairs. Here is the true meaning of citizenship related to the old idea to take part, to get involved in public issues and transform their community through participation. On the other hand, Lifelong Learning’s concepts and practices seem to have forgotten that adult education is more than the preparation for a job. Adult education is learning for democracy; researching communities searching for a school for all; transforming communities; struggling for our rights; becoming awareness about environmental hazards; edifying the city or expressing ourselves through theatre or public art. Lifelong Learning’s concepts and practices seem to have forgotten that life is more than the labour market. The entire life of women and men are the substance of what adult education is made of. The book is not only addressed to scholars, under and postgraduate students interested in citizenship and adult education, but also to practitioners working in communities in a participatory way.

        In Barcino

        by Maria Carme Roca

        Minicia is almost 25 years old when she suffers the contempt of her father, Lucio Minicio Natal Quadronio Vero, governor of proconsular Africa (152-154 A.D.) and winner of the Olympic Quadriga’s race of the year 129 A.D. The reason for his rejection: Minicia had been the secret lover of Theseus when she was very young, before Theseus died competing, precisely, against her father in a quadriga’s race. The noble Minicio cannot consent this and even less that his daughter has had a son with the man he hates, the slave of Dacian origin who mortified and marked his life since they were children. Puzzled by the news, since Minicia thought she had gotten rid of the baby (she didn’t know anything about her lover’s authentic identity and when she finds out she can’t stand the idea of having a son of the man who betrayed her), she will have to undertake a long search to find who is responsible for ensuring the lineage of Theseus and fulfill his revenge that affects not only her, but the entire empire.
