Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Beethoven," Romain Rolland presents a richly detailed exploration of the life and work of the iconic composer Ludwig van Beethoven. Written in a blend of biographical narrative and poetic reflection, the book delves into Beethoven's creative genius and his struggles with deafness, presenting not just the events of his life but the emotional and philosophical underpinnings of his music. Rolland captures the essence of Beethoven's artistic evolution by intertwining historical context with profound thematic analyses, making the book a poignant homage to one of music's greatest figures. Romain Rolland, a French novelist and biographer, was a fervent admirer of idealism and humanism, which deeply informed his literary works. His commitment to the arts and an unyielding belief in the power of creativity emerged from his experiences in the tumultuous political climate of early 20th-century Europe. These influences shaped Rolland's desire to illustrate the transformative impact of music on the human condition, as exemplified in his deep engagement with Beethoven's legacy. "Beethoven" is highly recommended for music enthusiasts, scholars, and those interested in the interplay between life and art. Rolland's intricate portrayal invites readers to not only appreciate Beethoven's masterpieces but also to reflect on the broader implications of artistic struggle and triumph. It is a vital addition to any literary or musical canon.

Fabric - The Hidden History of...

Victoria Finlay

A magnificent work of original research that unravels history through textiles and cloth—how we make it, use it, and what it means to us. 
 
 
 
How is a handmade fabric helping save an ancient forest? Why is a famous fabric pattern from India best known by the name of a Scottish town? How is a Chinese dragon robe a diagram of the whole universe? What is the difference between how the Greek Fates and the Viking Norns used threads to tell our destiny? 
 
 
 
In Fabric, bestselling author Victoria Finlay spins us round the globe, weaving stories of our relationship with cloth and asking how and why people through the ages have made it, worn it, invented it, and made symbols out of it. And sometimes why they have fought for it. 
 
 
 
She beats the inner bark of trees into cloth in Papua New Guinea, fails to handspin cotton in Guatemala, visits tweed weavers at their homes in Harris, and has lessons in patchwork-making in Gee's Bend, Alabama. 
 
 
 
She began her research just after the deaths of both her parents—and entwined in the threads she found her personal story too. Fabric is not just a material history of our world, but Finlay's own journey through grief and recovery.
