Story
Mastro Don Gesualdo, pubblicato nel 1889, è uno tra i più conosciuti romanzi di Giovanni Verga. Narra la vicenda dell'omonimo protagonista, ed è ambientato a Vizzini, in Sicilia, nella prima metà dell'Ottocento in periodo risorgimentale.L'operazione linguistica condotta dallo scrittore risulta in questo romanzo particolarmente complessa, a causa dell'eterogeneità delle classi sociali rappresentante, ognuna portatrice di un lessico proprio. Mastro Don Gesualdo uscì a puntate sulla Nuova Antologia dal 1º luglio al 16 dicembre 1888, e poi in volume presso l'editore Treves, nel 1889, ma ...

Story
De Profundis (traduzione dal latino: Dal profondo o Dalle profondità) è una lunga lettera che Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) scrisse nel 1897, durante la sua reclusione al carcere di Reading, a "Bosie", il suo amante Lord Alfred Douglas, dopo essere stato condannato per "gross indecency", il reato che criminalizzava l'attività sessuale tra maschi adulti.Nella prima metà, Wilde racconta la precedente relazione e lo stravagante stile di vita intercorso tra loro due, che lo condusse alla totale rovina e all'incarcerazione. Egli incolpa di ciò sia la vanità del giovane aristocratico che la propria ...

Story
Pubblicato nel 1542, questo dialogo espone le teorie sulla lingua italiana che, già dal secolo precedente, presero forma, cercando di trasformare il volgare italiano, ancora instabile grammaticalmente, in una vera e propria lingua regolata da norme. I protagonisti del dialogo sono: Bembo (Pietro Bembo), sostenitore del volgare colto e che prende come modelli il Decameron del Boccaccio e il Canzoniere del Petrarca; Lazaro (Lazzaro Bonamico), cultore del latino e spregiatore dell'uso colto del volgare; un Cortegiano, portavoce della teoria di Baldassarre Castiglione, che propone di aprire il ...

Tutti noi Montelusani ci sentimmo stringere il cuore, allorchè vedemmo per la prima volta scendere dall’alto e vetusto Palazzo Vescovile, a piedi tra i due segretarii, incontro al sorriso della nostra perenne primavera, lo scheletro intabarrato di questo vescovo nuovo: alto, curvo su la sua trista magrezza, proteso il collo, le tumide e livide labbra in fuori, nello sforzo di tener tutta la faccia incartapecorita, con gli occhialacci neri su l’adunco naso

Story
Non sarò un soldato codardo, no; ma ci andrei molto più volentieri alla scuola, se il maestro ci facesse ogni giorno un racconto come quello di questa mattina. Ogni mese, disse, ce ne farà uno, ce lo darà scritto, e sarà sempre il racconto d’un atto bello e vero, compiuto da un ragazzo. Il piccolo patriotta padovano s’intitola questo. Ecco il fatto. Un piroscafo francese partì da Barcellona, città della Spagna, per Genova, e c’erano a bordo francesi, italiani, spagnuoli, svizzeri. C’era, fra gli altri, un ragazzo di undici anni, mal vestito, solo, che se ne stava sempre in ...

Mattia Pascal grew up in a small Italian town not dissimilar to that of the author's upbringing. Pascal leads a somewhat feckless boyhood, allowing opportunities to slip away from him and living on the accumulated but dwindling resources of his family. As a young man he finds himself duped into poverty and an unhappy marriage made sadder by grief. He escapes on an adventure at Monte Carlo where he submits himself to Fortune which provides him with an extraordinary erasure of his old identity and the funds to maintain a new one. With the passage of a couple of years however he becomes horribly ...

Kamasutra

Story
The Kama Sutra, or Aphorisms on Love, has survived at least 1400 years as a dominant text on sexual relations between men and women. Vatsyayana claimed to have written the Kama Sutra while a religious student, “in contemplation of the Deity” - but references to older works, shrewd disputations by Vatsyayana of those authors' recommendations, and careful cataloging of practices in various of the Indian states indicate much more emphasis on kama, or sensual gratification.
