August 1994James Joyce Bilder
by Greg Vitiello, Bob Cato, Anthony Burgess
Seit der Veröffentlichung des Ulysses nimmt James Joyce einen einzigartigen Platz in der Literatur des Jahrhunderts ein. Kühn, kompromisslos, bilderstürmerisch öffnete er dem Umgang mit Sprache und literarischer Schöpfung eine neue Dimension. Kein Wunder, dass Künstler, Fotografen, Bildhauer, auch Karikaturisten Bilder von Joyce, von seiner Familie und seinen Kollegen schufen. Das Buch ist ein Dokument ihrer Faszination durch Joyce und von des Iren ungebrochener Wirkung bis in die Gegenwart. Viele Bilder sind verdientermaßen bekannt – von Man Ray, Berenice Abbott, Brancusi, Matisse, Jo Davidson, und Gisèle Freund –, andere sind sogar eifrigen Joyce-Verehrern unbekannt geblieben. Zusammengenommen bilden diese 90 Bilder die umfassendste Sammlung von Joyce-Bildnissen, die jemals für ein einzelnes Buch zusammengetragen worden ist. Wie wohl Joyce so einem Band begegnet wäre? Vielleicht in der Stimmung, in der er dem Maler Augustus John nach einer Sitzung schrieb: »Lob von einem halbblinden Pennypoeten wäre lächerlich, aber ihre Zeichnung ist ganz klar das einzige in diesem Buch, worüber man sich nicht streiten kann. Ich wünschte, ich selbst könnte die Linien besser sehen.« Doch auch Joyce hatte seine Grenzen, wie er schließlich einem der Künstler, die ihn malten, bekannte: »Ich hatte Bilder gern, aber jetzt sind die Nägel an den Wänden völlig genug.« Die Einführung schrieb Anthony Burgess, ein Fürsprecher von Joyces Werk, der kurz nach der Fertigstellung seines Textes starb. Bob Cato war ein preisgekrönter Buchgestalter, zu dessen Titeln Garbo, Swanson, Crawford & Dietrich; The Naive Surrealist (Über Oscar de Mejo), Corbusier, The Collected Poetry of Aimé Césaire und eine Serie über Life-Fotografen gehören. Er war außerdem Bildhauer, Maler, Collagist.

FictionSeptember 2020Zodiaco Street Food
by Heman Zed
Times change and even organized crime needs to run for cover. Romeo Marconato, former member of the Mala of Brenta, certainly does have a gift: the ability to sniff out good deals. Stuck with a wife he hates, a difficult child and a villa in the Paduan countryside, he has built his business from the ground up at the edges of the law: Zodiaco, a zodiac themed food truck franchise that runs along the Padova-Venezia highway.Then there is super chef Vitiello, tv super star from the show The Simple Cook, and his writers, knees deep in a creative slump for the following season format. And there is also a loose cannon: she waits tables at L’ultimo Doge, hiding her true descent in spite of herself. However, Romeo Marconato is the pivot of the story. Uncontested king of low priced and even lower quality street food, he will be served a juicy opportunity at the hands of his past. All is left to see, is how well he will handle a chain of events well beyond his grasp.

A vertical journey to the summits and a horizontal ramble through the glens to lend a voice to the Dolomites and their stories.Our mountaineering guide describes landscapes and encounters, people and places, and reveals the ancient tales linked to local traditions and legends, from the trenches of the Great War to the Wood of Violins to mountain fairytales.Each leg of the journey provides three hiking itineraries, each with a different difficulty level - from family walks to trekking paths to more challenging climbs, all detailed by the author’s personal notes and tips. In selecting the itineraries suggested the author has focused on the most breathtaking landscapes, and those that better allow visitors to appreciate the silence and quiet of the mountains and their profound beauty.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2020ALEXANDER THE GREAT'S ORACLE
the divinatory method of the magician Astrampsico
by KORNMUELLER MASSIMILIANO
First translation from ancient Greek.It is an ancient oracular work, used to predict the future, containing 93 questions (relating to love, health, work and business), a table of numerical correspondences and1030 answers divided into 103 decades. In the preface to the work, Astrampsico explains to King Ptolemy how to proceed: we choose the question that interests us among the 93 proposals, then a random number from 1 to 10 is chosen (originally the decahedron was used, the dice with ten faces). The question number is added to the one chosen at random and compared to the correspondence table which gives us the number ofdecades in which to search for the answer. In the indicated decade, the answer number is searched using the number chosen at random. The oracle is preceded by a study of cleromantic divination (through lots or dice). The volume is also enriched by numerousillustrations by the author depicting archaeological finds, which explain and integrate the text, and by the decahedron that can be cut and built. Rare and curious work, easy to consult for those who want to know their future. A book that will fascinate people who have a keen interest in magic and antiquities.

Adventures at the Crossroads of Vodou Spirits and Latter-day Saints
by Marilène Phipps
All rights available for her second book House of Fossils. The extraordinary life of Marilène Phipps begain in Haiti—the magical island of African Vodou gods who followed their devotees on the slave ships, and the world's first black republic—the singular cultural context and exotic milieu of the Caribbean, where hell and paradise can transfix us daily. In this powerful memoir, we enter the lives of a family who are both descendants of European aristocrats and African slaves. We meet Phipps's godfather, the rebel leader Guslé Villedrouin, and we relive her experiences with Vodou priests and spirits, a cold-eyed pope, a charismatic Muslim astrologer, Catholic monks and exorcists, American Mormon bishops, scholars and missionaries. Through it all, we are stirred by the antithetical feel of entitlement and destitution, barbarism and lyricism, infinity and insanity. The 2010 earthquake in Haiti brings a collapse to Phipps's world, but is also the start for her to find modern answers to the ancient questions, "Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going?"
