![]() ![]() Author: Brontë Charlotte Publisher: Mondadori La giovane orfana Jane Eyre entra come istitutrice presso la nobile residenza di Thornfield Hall dopo aver trascorso infanzia e adolescenza tra la casa di parenti crudeli e il triste asilo di Lowood. Dovrà occuparsi dell'educazione della piccola Adele, pupilla del misterioso signor Rochester. Il burbero padrone di casa, attratto dal carattere indipendente e dall'intelligenza della ragazza, presto se ne innamora. La vicenda sembra destinata al più classico dei finali, ma le antiche mura di Thornfield Hall celano un segreto... Di forte matrice autobiografica, 'Jane Eyre' è un romanzo di acuta sensibilità psicologica, pervaso - forse per la prima volta nella storia della letteratura femminile - da una sottile sensualità. Introduzione di Franco Buffoni e con un saggio di William M. Thackeray. € 11,50

![]() ![]() Author: Charlotte Smith Publisher: BERTRAMS PRINT ON DEMAND Charlotte Smith (1749-1806) was the author of ten novels, a play, and a host of innovative educational books for children, as well as several volumes of poetry that helped set priorities and determine the tastes of the culture of early Romanticism. Her Elegiac Sonnets sparked the sonnet revival in English Romanticism; The Emigrants initiated its passion for lengthy meditative introspection; and Beachy Head lent its poetic engagement with nature a uniquely telling immediacy. Smith was a woman, Wordsworth remarked a quarter century after her death, 'to whom English verse is under greater obligations than are likely to be either acknowledged or remembered.' True to his prediction, Smith's poetry has virtually dropped from sight and thus from cultural consciousness. This, the first edition of Smith's collected poems, will restore to all students of English poetry a distinctive, compelling voice. Likewise, the recovery of Smith to her rightful place among the Romantic poets must spur the reassessment of the place of women writers within that culture. € 74,40

![]() ![]() Author: Gilman Charlotte Perkins Publisher: Bantam Classic & Loveswept Known primarily for her classic and haunting story "The Yellow Wallpaper," Charlotte Perkins Gilman was an enormously influential American feminist and sociologist. Her early-twentieth-century writings continue to inspire writers and activists today. This collection includes selections from both her fiction and nonfiction work. In addition to the title story, there are seven short stories collected here that combine humor, anger, and startling vision to suggest how women's "place" in society should be changed to benefit all. The nonfiction selections are from Gilman's The Man-Made World: Our Androcentric Culture and her masterpiece, Women And Economics, which was translated into seven languages and established her international reputation as a theorist. Also included in a delightful excerpt from Gilman's utopian novel, Herland, an acidly funny tale about three American male explorers who stumble into an all-female society and begin their odyssey by insisting, "This is a civilized country . . . there must be men." Gilman's analyses of economic and women's issues are as incisive and relevant today as they were upon their original publication. This volume is an unprecedented opportunity to rediscover a powerful American writer. € 6,20

![]() ![]() Author: Bronte Charlotte, Oates Joyce Carol (INT) Publisher: Bantam Classic & Loveswept Charlotte Brontë's impassioned novel is the love story of Jane Eyre, a plain yet spirited governess, and her employer, the arrogant, brooding Mr. Rochester. Published in 1847 under the pseudonym Currer Bell, the book heralded a new kind of heroine—one whose virtuous integrity, keen intellect, and tireless perseverance broke through class barriers to win equal stature with the man she loved. Hailed by William Makepeace Thackeray as “the masterwork of a great genius,” Jane Eyre is still regarded, over a century later, as one of the finest novels in English literature. € 7,80

![]() ![]() Author: Witt Charlotte Publisher: Cornell Univ Pr Substance and Essence in Aristotle is a close study of Aristotle's most profound - and perplexing - treatise: Books VII-IX of the Metaphysics. Charlotte Witt extracts from this text a coherent and provocative view about sensible substance by focusing on Aristotle's account of form or essence. After exploring the context in which Aristotle's discussion of sensible substance takes place, Witt turns to his analysis of essence. Arguing against the received interpretation, according to which essences are classificatory, she maintains that a substance's essence is what causes it to exist. In addition, Witt challenges the orthodox view that Aristotelian essences are species-essences, defending instead the controversial position that they are individual essences. Finally, Witt compares Aristotelian essentialism to contemporary essentialist theories, focusing in particular on Saul Kripke's work. € 31,20

![]() ![]() Author: Charlotte Keatley Publisher: METHUEN DRAMA Charlotte Keatley's first main stage play My Mother Said I Never Should explores the difficult relationships between mothers and daughters, moving the play back and forth between the lives of four generations of women—their desire to love and be loved, their expectations and choices, all set against the backdrop of enormous social change during the twentieth century. The play revolves around Jackie's unexpected pregnancy and her decision to give the baby to her mother to raise. The drama revolves around the consequences of this secret and each women's opinion on it. The stage set is minimilistic and the drama incorporates deliberately unrealistic situations to explore deeply internal issues, such as the wasteland scenes where all the characters revert back to themselves as children. The play has been translated into twenty-two languages and in 2000 it was chosen by the Royal National Theatre as one of the 'Hundred Significant Plays of the Twentieth Century'. Commentary and notes by Charlotte Keatley. € 13,20

![]() ![]() Author: Joko Beck Charlotte Publisher: Astrolabio Ubaldini Leggendo queste pagine ci ritroviamo in un centro zen, durante un fine settimana di pratica, alle prese con i problemi e le difficoltà della meditazione, mobilitati dallo sforzo di migliorarci e di ignorare quei tremendi crampi alle caviglie; eppure siamo nella vita, ben immersi nella sua realtà: il lavoro, la carriera, i figli, l'amore. Vivere lo zen, secondo l'autrice, non è niente di speciale: solo la vita così com'è, senza più i sogni e le fantasie con i quali cerchiamo ininterrottamente di rimandare l'incontro con il qui, l'ora, il questo. Vogliamo proteggerci dalla realtà, ma la fuga dall'esperienza presente, dall'ordinarietà della vita, ci impedisce di vivere davvero e ci imprigiona in una trappola di frustrazioni. Non si può pretendere che il mondo, un libro, o qualunque altra cosa si adatti a noi perfettamente e sia come lo vogliamo. La vita è così com'è, il lavoro è così com'è, il mondo è così com'è, e forse, se sappiamo accettarlo così com'è, ci sveglieremo al suo significato. Se il primo libro di Charlotte Joko Beck, Zen quotidiano, ha portato le intuizioni dello zen nella vita ordinaria, questo volume amplia e approfondisce il suo insegnamento, che si è rivelato così efficace non solo per capire meglio lo zen in Occidente, ma anche per trasformare la propria vita. € 17,00

![]() ![]() Author: Frisbie Charlotte Johnson Publisher: Univ of Utah Pr Kinaaldá, the ceremony associated with the onset of a girl's puberty, is an important Navajo rite within the Blessingway complex. Derived from the experiences of Changing Woman, the puberty ceremony has been passed through generations and continues to be observed throughout Navajoland. An acknowledged classic, Kinaaldá remains the most complete 'outsider' account of this important ceremony. Charlotte Frisbie's lucid description takes the reader through the four-day ritual, describing sequence, daily activities, restrictions, observances that include the girl's race toward the east, and an analysis of the ceremonial music, complete with notations and translation. To give readers a better sense of why, Frisbie relates the beliefs and practices expressed in Kinaaldá to origin accounts conveyed by medicine people and to explanations and discussions with other Navajos.
