Archeologia dziewiętnastowiecznej pamięci w insurekcyjnym tryptyku Jarosława Iwaszkiewicza ("Noc czerwcowa", "Zarudzie", "Heydenreich")
2013
Three short “insurrection” stories written by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz in the years 1963–1974 have inspired various interpretations; it seems, however, that there are still many undeciphered codes, references, and allusions. The author’s metatextual comments as well as the implicit poetics of the stories make it possible to consider them as a dialogue with the historical, cultural and aesthetic heritage of the 19th century: as a form of its literary archeology. The article deals with many literary and aesthetic conventions employed in the stories, with the emphasis on the concept of sérénité and on various associations with 19th-century art. Notably, the scope of analysis includes such motifs …

Un poeta maledetto ad Atene: Napoleon Lapathiotis
2015
Napoleone Lapathiotis (1888-1944), amante delle letterature e delle arti, è un singolare esempio di esteta nel panorama letterario greco all'inizio del XX secolo. Ispirato da Oscar Wilde, ha cercato di vivere la sua vita come un'opera d'arte, ma la fine è stata tragica a causa dei suoi problemi personali e del complesso contesto storico. La sua opera letteraria (poesie, racconti, poesie in prosa), sebbene convenzionale per quanto riguarda la forma, rispecchia le contraddizioni della sua vita e personalità. Napoleon Lapathiotis (1888-1944), lover of literatures and arts, is a peculiar example of an aesthete in the Greek literary landscape at the beginning of 20th century. Inspired by Oscar W…

Italian scholars and Arabists have only recently started to pay attention towards Libya and this country's rich and fascinating literary production. Libyan writers are, in fact, still unknown to most people in Italy, where merely a few Italian translations of Libyan works and critical essays on Libyan literature have been published until now.
