Characterization and Individuality in Wolfram's Parzival.

Details: cm.15x23, pp.489, legatura editoriale con sovraccoperta. prima edizione.

Abstract: Wolfram's Parzival is one of the great medieval romances, but the complexities and obscurities of source, language and the Grail symbol have led to a virtual neglect by scholars of the problems of structure and characterisation. Medieval characterisation tended towards idealisation, symbolism and the view that the individual could be considered a member of a class or type; in Wolfram however the beginnings of individual characterisation can be seen. This 1966 book studies the types and techniques of character-portrayal in Parzival and of the emergence of the idea of individuality. Dr Blamires analyses each of the main characters - Gahmuret, Herzeloyde, Parzival, Gawan and Feirefiz - and shows how Wolfram presents them and the variety of methods he uses. From this approach he deals with the main problems the poem presents and brings out its closeness and complexity of texture.

#302810 Storia Antica
Traduzione di Marianna Matullo. Roma, Salerno 2018, cm.16x24, pp.465, legatura editoriale copertina cartonata figurata a colori, all'olandese. Coll.Profili,54. Personalità esuberante e poliedrica, l'imperatore Adriano (76-138 d.C.) ha sempre intimidito gli storici al punto che pochi hanno avuto il coraggio di cimentarsi con la sua vicenda biografica. Yves Roman, storico francese, si confronta con questa sfida, ambiziosa e impegnativa, e offre alla nostra lettura un Adriano che è il contraltare storico delle "Memorie", brillantemente inventate da Marguerite Yourcenar.

With a foreword by Antonio Lazcano. Spinger 2006, cm.16x24, pp.XXII,670, legatura editoriale cartonata, copertina figurata a colori. Based on material delivered at several summer schools, this book is the first comprehensive textbook at the graduate level encompassing all aspects associated with the emerging field of astrobiology. Volume II gathers another set of extensive lectures covering topics so diverse as the formation and the distribution of elements in the Universe, the concept of habitability from both the planetologists' and the biologists' point of view and artificial life. The contributions are held together by the common goal to understand better the origin of life, its evolution and possible existence outside the Earth's realm.
