DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Mattia Pascal endures a life of drudgery in a provincial town. Then, providentially, he discovers that he has been declared dead. Realizing he has a chance to start over, to do it right this time, he moves to a new city, adopts a new name, and a new course of life—only to find that this new existence is as insufferable as the old one. But when he returns to the world he left behind, it's too late: his job is gone, his wife has remarried. Mattia Pascal's fate is to live on as the ghost of the man he was. An explorer of identity and its mysteries, a connoisseur of black humor, Nobel Prize winner Luigi Pirandello is among the most teasing and profound of modern masters. The Late Mattia Pascal, here rendered into English by the outstanding translator William Weaver, offers an irresistible introduction to this great writer's work

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936), world-renowned writer, is arguably best known in the US as a dramatist, particularly for the innovative "theatre within the theatre" aspect of his 1926 "Six Characters in Search of an Author" (Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore), which has been called a "technical tour de force" and is still considered an avant¿garde masterpiece. Rather prolific, Pirandello produced hundreds of short stories, several novels, and much poetry in addition to about 50 plays. He was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature for "his almost magical power to turn psychological analysis into good theater." (He was also quite capable of turning psychological analysis into good prose, I might add.)

The Shapes of Knowledge from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The original idea for a conference on the "shapes of knowledge" dates back over ten years to conversations with the late Charles Schmitt of the Warburg Institute. What happened to the classifications of the sciences between the time of the medieval Studium and that of the French Encyclopedie is a complex and highly abstract question; but posing it is an effective way of mapping and evaluating long term intellectual changes, especially those arising from the impact of humanist scholarship, the new science of the seventeenth century, and attempts to evaluate, to apply, to reconcile, and to institutionalize these rival and interacting traditions. Yet such patterns and transformations cannot be well understood from the heights of the general history of ideas. Within the ~eneral framework of the organization of knowledge the map must be filled in by particular explorations and soundings, and our project called for a conference that would combine some encyclopedic (as well as interdisciplinary and inter national) breadth with scholarly and technical depth.
