Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. The book and jacket are in very good condition, little shelf rubbing apparent. The text inside appears clean and clear throughout. 'Although best known as author of a singular masterpiece, The Leopard, the Prince of Lampedusa left a rich and varied oeuvre that repays a careful reading. The best and most representative of it is collected in this volume. Places of My Infancy, a childhood memory of the Lampedusa palace in Palermo at the turn of the century, and of the great family mansion inland at Santa Margherita, provides a fascinating background to the princely setting of The Leopard. The text hitherto published had been edited and pruned by the author's widow, and resulted in a somewhat impoverished version. Here the author's original text - with many characters and incidents earlier suppressed - has been fully restored. The story of The Professor and the Siren, a delicious example of Lampedusa's fantasy, and The Blind Kittens (the first chapter of an unfinished novel of bourgeois Sicily that would have formed a pendant to The Leopard) both featured as appendices to Harvill's earlier edition of the great novel. They are included here together with a charming, comic, bitter-sweet story, Joy and the Law. Giuseppe di Lampedusa's knowledge of English literature, which derived from a lifetime's reading as well as from a number of extended visits to Britain as a young man, bore fruit in a series of informal seminars he gave in his later years at Palermo. The plan was to introduce his listeners to English writers from Bede to Aldous Huxley, pausing along the way not only at the great classics but also among the lesser known Restoration poets and Victorian novelists. To this, as also in his shrewd and dynamic appraisal of the French novelist Stendhal, he brought the lucid intellect and warmth of feeling that informs his own deeply Sicilian creative genius. These writings are introduced and set in context by David Gilmour, author of the seminal biography of Lampedusa, The Last Leopard.' 185 paginated pages. 8.75 x 5.6 inches.

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di S. Romano e Tomasi M.Roma, 2018; br., pp. 148, ill. col., cm 16x23.(Études Lausannoises d'Histoire de l'Art. 26). Enrico Castelnuovo (Roma 1929-Torino 2014) è stato uno dei più importanti storici dell'arte europei, professore nelle Università di Losanna e Torino, poi, dal 1983, alla Scuola Normale di Pisa. Questo libro nasce dalla giornata di studi organizzata per lui a Losanna il 13 maggio 2015, quando un folto gruppo di suoi allievi losannesi, torinesi e pisani e di colleghi degli anni di insegnamento in Svizzera si sono ritrovati, a quasi un anno dalla sua scomparsa, per ricordarlo, e per riflettere sul valore del suo insegnamento e della sua molteplice attività nel campo della cultura, non soltanto storico-artistica. I tanti ambiti di studio da lui aperti alla curiosità e all'interesse dei suoi allievi vengono testimoniati negli interventi di Michele Bacci, Fabrizio Crivello, Francesca Dell'Acqua, Dario Gamboni, Alessio Monciatti, Enrica Pagella, Chiara Piccinini, Michele Tornasi; e i suoi anni di giovane insegnante all'Università di Losanna, la sua capacità costruttiva ed energica di dialogare con un mondo diverso da quello nativo italiano emergono negli interventi di Nathalie Blancardi, Erica Deuber Ziegler, Jacques Gubler, Serena Romano. Completa il volume un appassionato ritratto scritto da Guido Castelnuovo. II libro vuol essere un omaggio all'ampiezza del mondo mentale e culturale di Enrico Castelnuovo, ma anche al suo particolare modo di essere "maestro", un modo ironico e anche schivo, guardingo contro le emozioni ma instancabile e fertilissimo sollecitatore di curiosità e punti di vista.
