Summary

Arte e scienza è un aggio pubblicato nel 1908 (ma è la rielaborazione del precedente Scienza e critica estetica, già edito nel 1900), che dà il titolo all’intera raccolta di saggi. Prendendo esplicitamente le distanze dall’estetica di Benedetto Croce, Pirandello rifiuta sia la dicotomia tra arte e scienza sia la concezione crociana dell’arte come intuizione lirica.Molto sappiamo del Pirandello scrittore e narratore, poco del Pirandello critico e filosofo. Oltre alle sue opere teatrali e letterarie, egli produsse una enorme quantità di saggi, articoli e recensioni, dal 1890 al 1934 (anno del Premio Nobel per la letteratura). Tutti i suoi scritti teorici e critici (Prosa moderna, La menzogna del sentimento nell'arte, L'umorismo, Arte e scienza, solo per citarne alcuni) costituiscono un utile commento alle sue opere, in questi si ritroveranno motivi e pensieri ricorrenti nei primi testi letterari. In Pirandello, il pensatore e il critico si accompagnano al narratore e al commediografo. La sua fu una apparizione solitaria, non appartenne a nessuna corrente letteraria. I suoi rapporti con la critica letteraria furono difficili e l'accoglienza riservata alle sue opere fu piena di riserve e incomprensioni. In questo libro si delinea un percorso di lettura del pensiero e della estetica pirandelliani, attraverso interpretazioni proposte da singoli critici letterari.

    Lady Windermere's Fan is a four-act comedy by Oscar Wilde. The play was first published in 1893. Like many of Wilde's comedies, it bitingly satirizes the morals of society. The story concerns Lady Windermere, who suspects that her husband is having an affair with another woman. She confronts him with it but although he denies it, he invites the other woman, Mrs. Erlynne, to his wife's birthday ball... The best-known line of the play sums up the central theme: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." (Uttered by Lord Darlington).

They are hunted by the grotesque and villainous moneylender Quilp and Nell's own worthless brother, Fred, who wrongly believes that their grandfather has a hidden fortune. Through a kaleidoscopic round of people and events, Nell and her grandfather eventually reach a safe refuge, although neither of them is destined to enjoy it for long

    There can be few writers who have painted such a penetrating picture of Victorian life. From the outset of the novel, following Oliver's birth and his mother's death, observe how Dickens vehemently satirises the hypocrisy of his society regarding its callous attitude towards the urban poor - most notably in the character of the self-important beadle Mr Bumble. Notice, also, how innocent Oliver is but a toy in the hands of the villains, who include the sly and miserly Fagin and ruthless and sadistic Bill Sikes, two of the author's most intriguing characters.
