Stonehenge World
Stonehenge stands out as our most significant prehistoric monument and ranks among the greatest in the world. But what do we really know of the people who built it? What kind of world did they inhabit, and what were their lives like? The Stonehenge World brings together information and illustrations concerning all aspects of life, culture and the environment at the time when Stonehenge was being built and during its main period of use. For each facet of the world around Stonehenge, specialists have contributed individual or co-authored chapters which summarise the current state of knowledge, bringing their expertise to bear in helping understand what people saw, what materials they used, their animals, their clothes, their lifestyles and their environment. The aim is to use clear, non-technical, but fully-referenced writing, so that the actual evidence is at the forefront, but readers can study the original publications if they want to. The Stonehenge World offers a wide view of the culture and environment in a way which is usually only found in exhibitions. Prehistory books often have excellent illustrations of artefacts but rarely deal with daily life, landscape, economy, houses, plants and animals.

Canti
'So my mind sinks in this immensity:and foundering is sweet in such a sea'Revisited and reorganized over his lifetime, this extraordinary work was described by Leopardi as a 'reliquary' for his ideas, feelings and deepest preoccupations. It encompasses drastic shifts in tone and material, and includes early personal elegies and idylls; radical public poems on history and politics; philosophical satires; his great, dark, despairing odes such as 'To Silvia'; and later masterworks such as 'The Setting of the Moon', written not long before Leopardi's death. Infused with classical allusion and nostalgia, yet disarmingly modern in their spare, meditative style and their sense of alienation and scepticism, the Canti influenced the following two centuries of Western lyric poetry, and inspired thinkers and writers from Schopenhauer and Nietzsche to Beckett and Lowell.Jonathan Galassi's direct new translation sensitively responds to the musicality of the Canti, while his introduction discusses the paradoxes of Leopardi's life and work.

Canti. Selected Poems
Selected Poems by Giacomo Leopardi. (16 poems in the English Translation) Leopardi's Canti were written in 1835. This collection of lyric poetry is considered one of the most significant works of Italian literature. The order of the poems here published in the English translations by Alan Marshfield, Tim Chilcott, A. S. Kline, and Frederick Townsend, does not follow their original position within the structure of Leopardi's Canti. The 16 poems here published are the most valuable versions from Leopardi's Canti, available in the English language. Giacomo Leopardi, (born June 29, 1798, Recanati, Papal States-died June 14, 1837, Naples), Italian poet, scholar, and philosopher whose outstanding scholarly and philosophical works and superb lyric poetry place him among the great writers of the 19th century. Leopardi has aestheticized the theme of metaphysical contemplation and placed emphasis on 'hope' as a fulcrum for all art, the fall of which is anathema to the ego and for the World.

Canti Dell'enema
Costruire un permanente rimedio alla vita e, secondo Houellebecq, la missione piu alta del poeta. Attraverso i "Canti dell'Enema" Alessandro Fantini lo delinea a suo modo nella declinazione liricamente spietata di una mistica della parola brandita come un'enteroclisma da introdurre nei piu intimi e sordidi orifizi del reale, nel tentativo di snidare dalle deiezioni deliranti delle sue viscere, quel sentimento biologico svalutato dalla costipazione di un ordine economico globale che maciulla e ingerisce aneliti di unicita. Ciascun poema infatti deflagra sulla pagina come un assalto, sferrato a suon di allitterazioni, assonanze, rime interne, corrispondenze metaforiche ed ermetiche carambole di senso, ad un mondo di rigorosa anarchia dove "bisogna entrare nel giro/per evitare d'essere presi in giro" e far si che alla lunga i desideri non diventino "duroni" sulle "piante dei piedi dai tendini recisi".
