Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Anne Elliot ist mit ihren 27 Jahren aus dem besten Heiratsalter längst heraus. Vor Jahren hat sie den Antrag von Frederick Wentworth auf Drängen ihrer standesbewussten Familie abgewiesen, obwohl sie dem mittellosen Mann ehrlich zugetan war. Bescheiden und zurückhaltend führt sie ein Leben im Schatten ihres eitlen Vaters und ihrer verwöhnten Schwestern. Doch dann trifft sie Wentworth wieder, der mittlerweile ein Vermögen bei der Marine gemacht hat und zum Kapitän aufgestiegen ist. Anne liebt ihn noch immer, doch Kapitän Wentworth scheint nur Augen für ihre Schwägerinnen zu haben...

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Joseph Conrad schildert in seinem berühmten Meisterwerk die Reise von Kapitän Marlow in den Kongo, in das "Herz der Finsternis": Mit seinem kleinen Dampfboot fährt Marlow im Auftrag einer belgischen Handelsgesellschaft den Kongo-Fluss hinauf zu einer fernen Außenstation im Inneren des Landes. Dort trifft er den düsteren und zwielichtigen Elfenbeinhändler Kurtz, der mit dem Tode ringt. Als Leiter der Außenstation der Handelskompanie verkörpert Kurtz den perfiden, skrupellosen und rassistischen Kolonialisten, für den der Raub von Elfenbein und die Versklavung der Einheimischen zur Tagesordnung gehören. Marlow ist davon zwar angewidert, sich aber seiner eigenen Rolle in dem Spiel unsicher. Er sieht sich auch der Gefahr ausgesetzt, selbst diesem "Wahnsinn" zu verfallen...

Titolo: Daisy Miller

Autore: Henry James

Narratore: Virginia Alba

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 2 hrs and 20 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 05-13-16

Editore: Il Narratore s.r.l.

Categoria: Classics, World Literature

Riepilogo Editore:

"Daisy Miller", scritto nel 1878, è considerato uno dei capolavori dello scrittore americano Henry James. Ritratto intenso di una giovane americana che, nella buona società europea (la trama si dipana dalla Svizzera alla stupenda e decadente Roma dei papi), viene giudicata troppo libera (se ne va a passeggio per Roma dopo il tramonto, sola con un giovanotto che non è nemmeno il suo fidanzato...) e quindi imperdonabilmente poco seria, e messa al bando; solo dopo la sua morte improvvisa sapremo, insieme al protagonista narratore, che Daisy era assolutamente innocente, non una civetta o peggio, ma semplicemente una ragazza libera, indipendente, spontanea e disinteressata, amante del passeggiare e vagabondare, oppressa dai lacci delle convenzioni sociali che imprigionavano le donne.

Eroina femminista ante litteram, Daisy viene posta, dalla narrazione del co-protagonista Winterbourne, in una situazione culturale considerata "naturale" nella cultura patriarcale, fino all'invisibilità: la donna, priva di voce e di pensiero, oggetto d'interpretazione e di giudizio; l'uomo, detentore dell'autorità del punto di vista, titolato a interpretare e giudicare.

Riepilogo Editore:

Il grande poema epico pubblicato nel 1581, fu in realtà iniziato a comporre quando il Tasso aveva 15 anni, nel 1559. Rivide poi il poema in seguito, dando luogo ad un altro poema: la "Gerusalemme conquistata".

Questo tema lo accompagnò dunque per tutta la sua vita.

Recensioni dei membri:

Lack of Info

I was disappointed. Nothing in the Amazon ad indicated that the book was vol. 1 of 3. It turned out to be not Gerusalemme Liberata at all but Tasso's GOFFREDO, another version of part of the story. This lack of detail in a book ad is a frequent problem, and not just on Amazon.

I am pleased to have the GOFFREDO in Italian, but I had to reorder to get the Italian text of Gerusalemme Liberata (which has not arrived yet. I hope it is the full story.)

Hagiul se rostogoleste în pat. Prea e fericit. Nu poate dormi. Râde si ofteaza. E destept si viseaza. Ce vis! De nu s-ar sfârsi! Daca aci, în zaduf si întuneric, ar sta în picioare, si banii ar creste, ca o revarsare de apa, de la talpi în sus pâna peste crestetul capului... Oh! ce fericit ar fi Hagiul! Înainte sa-si dea sufletul, ar vedea fata si vecinicia lui Dumnezeu. Moartea sa aiba coasa de aur, el si-ar înfige amândoua mânele în taisul ei!

Members Reviews:

Germans Stereotyped

Enjoyable but not her best writing. Interesting for anyone interested in the German people, althought they are too often turned into stereotypes.

Not to be taken too seriously

This collection of short pieces shows early signs of Mansfield's talents, particularly her sense of the absurd and ability to skewer pretensions, but also shows how much she was to develop as an author. Here, she relies too heavily here on stereotypes (the self-absorbed actress, the pompous German) and on painting with too broad a brush.

That said, these stories are amusing in their own right, though definitely not the great short stories she would later write.

Thoughtful and descriptive prose

Within the stories of this collection, which the author considered "immature," there is some great descriptive prose around German characteristics and perspective which can even be said to live on in present Germany. Most impressive is Mansfield's gift in rummaging about in the German psyche. While some of the stories may seem melodramatic, e.g., "The Child-Who-Was-Tired," there are some very entertaining moments in which the author thoughtfully pulls out themes that include sycophancy, overbearance, resignation, mediocrity, selfishness, vanity, truculence, and compunction. For those who love German history and German culture, this is an essential volume.

Prelude to Conflict

New Zealander Katherine Mansfield (nee Kathleen Beauchamp), one of the key modernist authors linked to the so-called Bloomsbury set, said of this, her first commercially published work: 'It was a bad book, but the press was kind to it.'

Well, maybe it's not as bad as she says - and certainly it's a must-have for anyone who's interested in her work - but, when you get right down to it, this is a bunch of stories, the theme of each one of which is "All Germans are stupid and the first person singular Anglophile narrator (Miss Mansfield) is a wonderfully civilised smart ass for pointing it out!"

Well, okay if you say so, Miss Mansfield . . . I don't think! And neither do you, I suspect - not in your literary heart of hearts. Because it's the original date of publication of the book which gives us a clue regarding the kindness that was shown to it by the press: 1912 - just two years before WWI broke out, thanks in part to press jingoism . . . and to anti-German propaganda in bad books like this one.
