Il piede destro di Byron by Alberto Toso Fei Pdf

Lontano dall’assedio dei turisti, in una soleggiata laguna di Venezia, Alessandro Nicoli durante una gita in barca con la sua morosa trova un’antica moneta d’oro vicino all’isola abbandonata di San Giacomo in Paludo. Per Nicoli, veneziano da sempre, ex giornalista e investigatore per caso, è l’inizio di un’indagine intricata che, tra fatti di cronaca e antichi enigmi, lo porterà a addentrarsi nelle calli e i canali più nascosti della Serenissima nel tentativo di capire cosa accomuni due omicidi senza un legame apparente, un frate esorcista che sostiene di avere inventato il Cronovisore – una macchina capace di superare le barriere del tempo –, l’Hypnerotomachia – un libro vecchio di secoli che racchiude i segreti dei sogni – e Lord Byron, il celebre poeta che abitò a lungo a Venezia fra licenze e scandali, la cui ombra inquieta aleggia sull’intera vicenda. Costretto a guardarsi dai fantasmi del passato e dai pericoli del presente, Nicoli, goffo e scaltro al tempo stesso, affronterà molti ostacoli per riuscire a sciogliere a uno a uno i misteri celati nel corpo di pietra della città.

A Short Border Handbook by Gazmend Kapllani Pdf

'It is not a recognized mental illness like agoraphobia or depression ... It's largely a matter of luck whether one suffers from border syndrome: it depends where you were born. I was born in Albania.' After spending his childhood and school years in Albania, imagining that the miniskirts and quiz shows of Italian state TV were the reality of life in the West, and fantasizing accordingly about living on the other side of the border, the death of Hoxha at last enables Gazmend Kapllani to make his escape. However, on arriving in the Promised Land, he finds neither lots of willing leggy lovelies nor a warm welcome from his long-lost Greek cousins. Instead, he gets banged up in a detention centre in a small border town. As Gazi and his fellow immigrants try to find jobs, they begin to plan their future lives in Greece, imagining riches and successes which always remain just beyond their grasp. The sheer absurdity of both their plans and their new lives is overwhelming. Both detached and involved, ironic and emotional, Kapllani interweaves the story of his experience with meditations upon 'border syndrome' - a mental state, as much as a geographical experience - to create a brilliantly observed, amusing and perceptive debut.

I, Cinna (The Poet) by Tim Crouch Pdf

I, Cinna (The Poet) has one short scene in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar where he is mistaken for someone else and killed by the mob. Now, in a new play by Tim Crouch, this unlucky man is given a chance to tell his story. Written for ages 11+, I, Cinna (The Poet) is a fusion of theatre, multimedia and creative writing tasks.

During the performance he asks us to write alongside him: a small poem on a big theme. Originally commissioned for the World Shakespeare Festival which is produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company for London 2012 Festival. Shortlisted for the Writers' Guild Award for Theatre Play for Young People 2013.

Taking Care of Baby by Dennis Kelly Pdf

'None of this is the truth. It's just people saying things. It's all subjective. There's the truth, and there's what people think is the truth, and it all depends on how you slant it...' Taking Care of Baby tackles the complex case of Donna McAuliffe, a young mother convicted of the murder of her two infant children. In a series of probing interviews the people in this extraordinary story, including Donna herself and her bewildered mother Lynn, reveal how they may have harmed those they sought to protect. Dennis Kelly's ambitious play uses the popular techniques of drama-documentary and verbatim theatre to explore how truth is compromised by today's information culture.

Willehalm by Wolfram Eschenbach Pdf

Wolfram von Eschenbach (fl. c. 1195-1225), best known as the author of Parzival, based Willehalm, his epic poem of military prowess and courtly love, on the style and subject matter of an Old French "chanson de geste." In it he tells of the love of Willehalm for Giburc, a Saracen woman converted to Christianity, and its consequences. Seeking revenge for the insult to their faith, her relatives initiate a religious war but are finally routed. Wolfram's description of the two battles of Alischanz, with their massive slaughter and loss of heroes, and of the exploits of Willehalm and the quasicomic Rennewart, well displays the violence and courtliness of the medieval knightly ideal. Wolfram flavors his brutal account, however, with tender scenes between the lovers, asides to his audience, sympathetic cameos of his characters--especially the women--and, most unusually for his time, a surprising tolerance for 'pagans'.
