Adelphi, 2005. Paperback. Pp: 360. Di che cosa parlano le storie di Kafka? Sono sogni? Sono allegorie? Sono simboli? Sono cose che succedono ogni giorno? Non si puó dire che le innumerevoli risposte si siano rivelate, alla fine, del tutto soddisfacenti. Questo libro segue un'altra via: non già dissipare il mistero, ma lasciare che venga illuminato dalla sua stessa luce. Kafka scrisse tre romanzi incompiuti, non soltanto perché mancavano ancora alcuni episodi. Piuttosto, era come se fossero stati concepiti per prolungarsi indefinitamente, anche oltre il loro autore. Capire quei romanzi implica ripercorrerli e proseguirli. E implica anche mescolarsi al corso, al movimento, alla fisiologia di quelle storie. Sino al punto di trovarsi in un mondo costituito quasi solo dai suoi scritti. ISBN: 9788845919909. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Ruth Marie Baldwin 266687

100 Nineteenth-century Rhyming Alphabets in English, from the Library of Ruth M. Baldwin

Southern Illinois University Press, 1972. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 296. The library of Ruth M. Baldwin contains, at the present time, about 35,000 titles and editions of children`s books in English, all before 1900 and mostly from the nineteenth century. Though a small part of the out­pouring of children`s books in English in the nineteenth century"estimated to be as much as a quarter of a million volumes"her library is probably unique in its equal representation of American and English children`s books. How many of the books published were rhyming alphabets is difficult to say. These hundred books presented here, certainly a small part of the whole, bear publication dates around the early part of the second half of the century, and represent the whole century well, for true children`s book publishing did not precede this by much. Children and readers in general as well as students of children`s literature should find this book of books interesting. The alphabets repro­duced here are included in their entirety, many of them in color, and are grouped thematically under such topics as nature, animals, and farm life. ISBN: 9780809305094.
