Sitting on the couch with the remote in her hand, Charlie frantically scanned the channels on the television. Probably none of them would be broadcasting Brighton's game in Spain, after all, if the team wasn't facing one of the big clubs in England, nobody really cared. But, it wouldn't hurt to take a look to confirm.

However, she stopped on one of the channels when she saw a familiar image on the screen that made up the program's scenario.

— Las redes están alborotadas con esta imagen que finalmente lo confirma — the presenter announced in a happy voice — Fernando Alonso está de vuelta en las pistas y muy enamorado. El piloto asturiano, que sufrió una fractura de tobillo en el último Gran Premio de Las Vegas, fue visto en el circuito que lleva su nombre intercambiando abrazos y caricias con una mujer. Hablemos con Marina Rubel, que está en Oviedo, con más información. Marina?

The screen split to a live entry of a dark-haired woman who appeared to be in a park. Dropping the controller on the couch, Charlie couldn't stop watching, even though she didn't understand anything that was being said. But in a way, she didn't even need to.

— Hola Anne, buenas tardes. Esta es la confirmación de que el dos veces campeón de Fórmula 1 está, de hecho, en una nueva relación casi un año después de su ruptura con la periodista austriaca Andrea Schlager — the reporter said — Además del video que circula en las redes sociales, el propio Fernando publicó en su cuenta de Instagram una imagen de su nueva novia luciendo un mono y un casco de su escuela de karting, con el pie de foto "de vuelta a la pista".

— Hasta el momento, no se sabe quién sería esta misteriosa mujer, ¿verdad?

— Bueno, no se sabía. Sin embargo, nuestro equipo hizo un gran trabajo de investigación y tenemos, en exclusiva, el nombre de la nueva novia de Fernando Alonso. Descúbrelo en el informe.

A familiar photo appeared over the screen. Charlie's stomach twisted.

— La nueva novia de Fernando Alonso es un soplo de aire fresco en su lista de conquistas amorosas. Tras su matrimonio con la cantante Raquel del Rosario y largas relaciones con la presentadora Lara Álvarez y la modelo Linda Morselli, la nueva chica del "Nano" es su ingeniera de carrera, la inglesa Charlotte Whitlam — the reporter's voice said, as videos and photos of the podium in Suzuka were played — Puede que no la reconozcas por su imagen, pero Charlie, como la llaman, es la voz que escuchamos en las interacciones por radio entre Fernando y su equipo…

Suddenly, the television turned off.

Charlie let out a gasp of protest, before turning around to see Fernando's serious gaze. She felt like a naughty child who had just been caught doing something she shouldn't.

— Why were you watching this? — he asked.

— I wasn't — Charlie stammered, feeling his face heat up — I was looking for the Brighton match…

— That didn't look like the Brighton match, Charlie — Fernando said.

— I know…

He walked around the couch, crutches clicking on the floor as he stopped beside her and sat down. Looking down at her hands, Charlie couldn't shake the discomfort she'd been feeling, not just at being caught watching a news report about what had happened over the past 24 hours, but at being exposed like that.

The day before, after visiting the museum, Fernando took her to the circuit, where the go-kart shed used by students from the school he had set up there was located. After meeting the crew that maintained the equipment, showing her how he tightened the wheels as a teenager, and hearing more about how they took care of the engines, Fernando asked her if she wanted to go for a ride on the track.

— Can I? — Charlie asked, almost as if she were a child delighted by the possibility of playing with a new toy.

— Of course.

Changing into a set of the school's blue overalls and a helmet, Charlie could see through the opening in the visor the smile that Fernando had on his face. Asking her to wait a bit before sitting in the kart, he took his phone out of his pocket and took some pictures of her, telling her that she looked like a real Formula 1 driver.

After the last instructions, Charlie put her foot down on the accelerator, leaving the garage in the direction of the track. Allowing herself to experiment on the asphalt, she couldn't help but laugh when she caught too much of one of the kerbs in one of the corners or when she almost lost the rear at the last chicane. Driving the kart around made her feel strangely nostalgic, especially when she thought back to the times she and her grandfather had gone to a track in Northampton for a few laps.

When she pulled up in front of the garage, Charlie found Fernando with a wide smile on his face, leaning against the wall.

— So, what do you think? — he asked.

Charlie walked over to him as she took off her helmet and balaclava.

— It's amazing, the kart is very well adjusted and the track is excellent! — she exclaimed, smiling, while the driver took one of his hands to her forehead, fixing her disheveled bangs — And you, what did you think?

— You still need some lessons — Fernando replied, receiving a playful pat on the chest from Charlie — But you've got potential, nena, lots of potential.

After laughing, she gave him a soft kiss, one hand on his face, caressing the driver's cheek. A moment Charlie wanted to keep forever inside her heart and not have it recorded and posted to the entire world. The sensationalist headlines were already sketching in her mind, one worse than the other.

“Fernando Alonso takes his own engineer to bed”.

"Meet Charlie Whitlam, Alonso's newest girl".

"Charlie Whitlam: how an ordinary engineer got one of Formula 1's most eligible bachelors".

— Look, Charlie — Fernando said, breaking the silence in the living room — I already knew this was going to happen.

She glanced in the driver's direction with a raised eyebrow.

— Did you?

— Well, when you achieve a certain notoriety in Spain, let's say your life becomes the object of scrutiny by the press, such as…

— Tabloids? — Charlie asked. She was familiar with abuse in the British press, especially by the tabloids. It was not uncommon to see journalists crowding around the drivers in Silverstone, in search of an image or a bombastic statement to put on the covers of their newspapers.

— Yeah — Fernando replied — The point is that, in one way or another, they would connect the dots between us. And then they would come after us, wanting more and more, just…

— Like it was with all the other girlfriends you had — she completed.

— Yes. I never felt really bad for them because they were people who were used to it. They lived off their own image, so showing up with me wouldn't hurt them. In fact, they even took advantage of this to boost their own careers, which seemed stupid to me…

— You know you can't judge them, right?

— Why not?

— Because you also live off your image and appearing alongside them wouldn't hurt you either. By the way, didn't you pose for a magazine cover with one of them?

Fernando gave an embarrassed giggle.

— Yeah, I did. But… How do you know that?

— I watched your documentary — Charlie murmured.

— Did you? When?

— On the flight to Vegas. By the way, I thought that magazine cover was shit.

He looked shocked.

— But the cover…

— It has a clear power imbalance between you and her, with the clothes and all. I would even say that it was sexist.

— I was shirtless.

— Wearing a suit coat and with her body covering your chest. It was ridiculous, Fer.

The driver stared at her for a few seconds before smiling, squeezing Charlie's hand.

— Okay, I admit, the idea was ridiculous.

— Sexist — she corrected.

— Ridiculous, sexist, any other descriptions you'd like to add?

— Disgusting. Idiotic. An offense to good taste.

— Okay, Charlie, I get it — Fernando sighed— The point is, you're different from them. You're not exactly a known person...

— People know my voice, they've seen me on television with you...

— Charlie, it's not the same as being my girlfriend. For these guys, you stop being a mere engineer to be a source of income. You stop being a person to be a character in their stories. And — he stopped, looking frustrated — Fuck, I didn't want that for you.

— No?

— You don't deserve to live in this scrutiny, in this monitored life, without any privacy, just because I love you — Fernando continued — I want my love to be something safe for you, to be something good and not a source of stress and fear.

Charlie looked at his hand thoughtfully.

— Where are you going with this story? — she asked quietly.

— I want you to know that you don't have to live through this if you don't want to.

— Are you giving me carte blanche to break up with you?

The driver's eyes widened.

— No, no, I don't want you to break up with me, Charlie. In fact, I want you by my side forever. But I don't want my life and everything that comes with it to become a burden on you.

— You would never be a burden, Fer.

— Maybe I'm not, but the spotlight is. Maybe the attention, the comments on the internet, the things people will say in the paddock, all of that is a burden. And I couldn't bear to see you fade just because I love you — he murmured — I want you to keep shining, Charlie. And I want to wake up every day with your light illuminating and warming me.

Something in his words made Charlie feel her eyes fill with tears. She had avoided love at all costs over the years. It was something too difficult, too terrifying for her. It wasn't worth investing in something that would only make her suffer and cry, clutching a bottle of wine and watching some sappy romance movie.

Then Fernando appeared in her life again. It was as if fate wanted them to settle the disputes that one had with the other. And the moment Charlie gave the driver a second chance, she allowed herself to discover a fantastic man, dedicated and loving, who cared about her and would do anything to see her happy.

Love was still difficult and terrifying for Charlie.

But, loving Fernando was the best thing that had happened in her life.

— I'll never fade as long as you're by my side — she said, with a small smile — I love you. And it won't be one article talking about me that will make me give up on you.

— Not even two?

— Not even a million — Charlie said, before approaching his face, giving a peck on his lips — Nothing in this world will make me give up on you.

Staring at her for a few seconds, Fernando smiled.

— You mean I can tell the whole world how much I love you?

— Well, it's not like nobody knows.

— But it wasn't me who said it, it was a bunch of nosy journalists. But, I think it’s time for me to say something and break the news on my own terms — he replied, taking his cell phone out of his pocket. Charlie almost immediately concluded what his plan was.

— Are you going to post a picture of us?

— Two, actually — the driver said, as he selected the images — If they want to know, they'll know.

— But — Charlie hesitated, looking at one of the photos — Do you need to post this one?

Fernando looked at her, one eyebrow raised.

— Don't you like this picture?

— I look terrible in it, Fer — she replied — Look at my hair, it's all messed up, I'm not wearing any makeup, and…

He chuckled, placing a hand on her face, his thumb lightly brushing her skin.

— You can be either way, I'll always find you beautiful — Fernando murmured — The most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

After searching a little more in the phone's gallery and finding a photo that showed the moment they were introduced to each other for the first time — with a Ron Dennis watching the moment attentively — the driver thought for long minutes before typing something in the telephone.

— “Two people never meet by chance” — Fernando said, looking at Charlie — What do you think?

— Are you talking about fate?

— Well, let's just say you made me believe in it.

She laughed.

— So it's my fault?

— Well, not only yours, but — the driver hesitated for a few seconds — There are only two ways to explain why we're together right now. One is careful planning and a crystal ball, which I believe is not the case. And the other is fate.

— So it was fate?

— Always has been, nena. You have always been my fate — Fernando said, before clicking the 'post' button.

Fernando Alonso reveals sad news on love life with Andrea Schlager after Australian F1 Grand Prix

Formula One superstar Fernando Alonso gives fans some very sad news about his love life just hours after taking third place at the Australian Grand Prix Came third at Albert Park with Aston Martin Made love life announcement soon after Also had a cheeky dig at Red Bull By Josh Alston For Daily Mail Australia Published: 01:20 EDT, 3 April 2023 | Updated: 01:20 EDT, 3 April 2023 F1 driver Fernando Alonso delighted his fans by finishing third at the Australian Grand Prix - but followed it up by announcing that he and his long-term partner Andrea Schlager have split. Alonso shared the news on his Instagram story with a photo of himself and Schlager, along with a caption that read, 'We wanted to tell you that our relationship as a couple ended. 'We have been lucky enough to share a fantastic time together, and it will continue to be so, but on a different form of affection. 'As you have probably seen, we have continued working on and off track on various projects together also during this time, and we will keep doing so with deep love and respect for each other. 'We thought it is appropriate to share this as you have all been very supportive. Thanks for that. Love Fer & Andrea.' Alonso and Schlager during happier days before their breakup, which was announced just after the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday The couple also thanked their fans for their support and noted that they would continue to work together on various projects with love and respect for each other. Schlager, a sports commentator with a history in the F1 paddock, met the Spanish racing driver through her F1 commitments. Very little is known about their relationship, which has been kept out of the public eye for the most part. Alonso is a two-time F1 world champion, winning the campaign in both 2005 and 2006. He has had a collection of relationships, having been previously married to Raquel del Rosario and engaged to Lara Alvarez. Alonso has also previously been in relationships with Carolina Costa, Dasha Kapustina, and most recently, Linda Morselli. Despite his past relationships, Alonso does not have any children. In 2018, he mentioned that his dedication to the sport had left him with 'no friends, no family, no free time, no privacy, no wife and no kids.' Alonso had preferred to keep his love life out of the public spotlight, but decided to let his fans know that his relationship has ended Alonso celebrates coming third at the Australian Grand Prix with Aston Martin after a gripping battle with Lewis Hamilton - but the weekend wasn't all good news for the Spaniard During the Australian Grand Prix, Alonso finished in third place, spending the majority of the race attempting to hunt down Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes. A tangle with Carlos Sainz looked to have ended his race, but he was granted a reprieve when the FIA opted to red flag the race again. Alonso's performance in Australia was noteworthy because, for the first time in 2023, a car other than a Red Bull finished ahead of him, with Hamilton coming in second. Alonso used the opportunity to make a tongue-in-cheek joke at Sergio Perez's expense while assessing the pecking order of the top cars in Melbourne. Perez had joked in Bahrain about him, Max Verstappen, and Fernando Alonso 'all being Red Bull drivers' and that 'it was nice to see three Red Bull cars on the podium!' Alonso responded by saying, 'No more three Red Bulls on the podium, if Checo was here.'

Explaining one of VTMB paintings (pt 9)

Cain Killing Abel oil on canvas (Second quarter of 17th century) by Pietro Novelli

Pietro Novelli (March 2, 1603 – August 27, 1647) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Palermo. He was born in Monreale, and died in Palermo. He initially trained with his father, a painter and mosaicist. His father died in 1625 from the bubonic plague.[2]As a young apprentice he was a fellow pupil with Gerardo Asturino.[3] In 1618, he moved to Palermo and apprenticed with Vito Carrera (1555–1623). His first dated work is from 1626: St. Anthony Abbot for the church of Sant'Antonio Abate in Palermo. The development of his style owed much to Anthony van Dyck, who visited Sicily in 1624 and whose altarpiece, the Madonna of the Rosary in the oratory of Santa Maria del Rosario in Palermo was highly influential for local artists. He was also commissioned works and paintings for many churches in Piana degli Albanesi, and various works to adorn the villas of the Sicilian nobility. Other influences on Novelli were the Caravaggisti or tenebrists active in Naples (for example, Ribera). Novelli also painted for the church of Santa Zita in Monreale, and painted a Marriage of Cana for the refectory of the Benedictines in Monreale.He was injured during the revolution in Palermo in 1647, and died from his wounds.[4] His pupils included Andrea Carreca, Francesco Maggiotto, Francesco Giselli, Michele Blasco, Vincenzo Marchese, Giacomo lo Verde, and Macri da Girgenti. He was also an architect and stage set designer. [1]

The term Baroque probably ultimately derived from the Italian word barocco, which philosophers used during the Middle Ages to describe an obstacle in schematic logic. Subsequently the word came to denote any contorted idea or involuted process of thought. Another possible source is the Portuguese word barroco (Spanish barrueco), used to describe an irregular or imperfectly shaped pearl, and this usage still survives in the jeweler’s term baroque pearl. Baroque art and architecture refers to the visual arts and building design and construction produced during the era in the history of Western art that roughly coincides with the 17th century. The earliest manifestations, which occurred in Italy, date from the latter decades of the 16th century, while in some regions, notably Germany and colonial South America, certain culminating achievements of Baroque did not occur until the 18th century. The work that distinguishes the Baroque period is stylistically complex, even contradictory. In general, however, the desire to evoke emotional states by appealing to the senses, often in dramatic ways, underlies its manifestations. Some of the qualities most frequently associated with the Baroque are grandeur, sensuous richness, drama, vitality, movement, tension, emotional exuberance, and a tendency to blur distinctions between the various arts. [2]

Below is an explanation of the Cain and Able story from real life and in the context of VTM. This is the same for all the Explained Cain slaying Able paintings in VTMB posts I’ve done so feel free to skip if you’ve already read this as it’s long.

___________________________________________________________

The tale of Cain murdering his brother Able are nearly identical in Jewish, Christian and Islamic texts with the oldest known version coming from the Dead Sea Scroll from the first century BCE. Cain was the the first born son of Adam and Eve and became a Farmer while Able was the second born son and became a shepherd. Both brothers made sacrifices to God, but God favored Abel's sacrifice instead of Cain's. In Islam the reason for their offerings is to decide which brother would marry Adam and Even’s first daughter who was also Cain’s twin sister. Able also had a twin sister and Adam wanted the brothers to marry the others twin. In multiple religions each brother has a twin sister but there is no consistently with the names as Cain’s twin sister being named Aclima, Kalmana, Lusia, Cainan, Luluwa, or Awan, and Able’s twin sister is named Jumella, Balbira or to make it more confusing Aclima (though even when she is called this Able’s twin sister is never the one the brothers are competing to marry) depending on the source. In the Islamic text Able’s offers his fattest sheep while Cain offered only a bunch of grass and some worthless seeds. In Jewish and Christian texts the reason for the sacrifices and the exact nature of their offerings are merely described as the first born of Ables heard and products from Cain’s fields.[3] The most description we get is in Genesis when God sees that Cain is upset that his offering was not chosen God tells Cain “: Why are you angry? Why are you dejected? If you act rightly, you will be accepted; but if not, sin lies in wait at the door: its urge is for you, yet you can rule over it.”(Genesis 4:6-7) Cain then told Able to meet him in his fields where he then murdered his brother out of jealousy by hitting Abel in the head with a stone. When God asks Cain where his brother Cain, “I do not know! he answered. Am I my brother’s keeper?”(Genesis 4:9) to which God replies “What have you done! The voice of your brother’s blood is calling to me from the ground. From now on you’ll get nothing but curses from this ground; you’ll be driven from this ground that has opened its arms to receive the blood of your murdered brother. You’ll farm this ground, but it will no longer give you its best. You’ll be a homeless wanderer on Earth.” (Genesis 4:10-12) When Cain objects saying the punishment is to great and that whoever finds him wandering shall kill him which then God says “No. Anyone who kills Cain will pay for it seven times over.” God put a mark on Cain to protect him so that no one who met him would kill him.” (Genesis 4:15). Cain then leaves east of Eden to wander in No-Mans-Land with his wife (who is not named in Genesis but is assumed to be his Twin sister in all tellings regardless of what name is given to her). Their first born Child was named Enoch, and Cain named the first city he built after his son. After Abel’s Death Adam and Eve had a Third son named Seth and when eve gave birth to him Eve said “God has given me another child in place of Abel whom Cain killed.”(Genisis 4:25-26). In some texts Seths wife and sister is named Azura. Their son is named Enosh it is through Seth’s line that humanity stems from, though both Cain and Seth had multiple decedents and confusingly used the same names (see family tree below). None of Cain’s decedents suffered the curse of their father Cain but where still seen as sinful and apart from God and where killed in the great flood. How Cain died is not as an agreed upon topic. He was ether crushed to death by the stone house he built, an irony as he used a stone to slay his brother or in some versions part of the Mark of Cain had him grow horns and his descendent Lamech (not to be confused with Lamech who decedent from Seth and was the father of Noah) who was a blacksmith and had two wives(this is viewed as sinful) killed him mistaking him for a wild animal and killed his own son Tubal-cain in the process.

While in the lore of Vampire the Masquerade the tale of Cain killing his brother able as told in the Book of Nod stick to the original tale regarding the murder of Able but starts to differ in God’s punishment. "Father" cursed him with a mark, and cast him out to wander in darkness in the Land of Nod alone. There is no mention of a wife or if he was still cursed to be unable to farm however it is clear that Cain was not yet cursed to be a vampire by God. The Land of Nod was a place of utter darkness, with no source of light, where Caine was afraid and alone. There he found Lilith where they began a relationship and Cain realized that she possessed magical power and begged her to share them with him. While hesitant Lilith prepares an Awakening ceremony by cutting herself with a knife, bleeding into a bowl, and giving it to him so that he may drink. After Caine partakes of Lilith's blood, he is visited by three angels who are agents of God. Each angel offers Caine a chance to repent for the murder of Abel, but Caine rebuffed them out of pride. Michael, when denied, cursed Caine and his childer to fear his living flame. Raphael cursed Caine and his childer to fear the dawn, as the sun's rays would burn like fire. Uriel then cursed Caine and his childer to cling to Darkness, drink only blood, eat only ashes, and be frozen at the point of death, cursed so all they touch would crumble into nothing. A fourth angel, Gabriel, then appeared to offer the way of Golconda, the only way to "light", by the mercy of God. After the experience, Caine becomes officially "Awakened", possessing the following Disciplines: Celerity, Potence, Fortitude, Obfuscate, Dominate, Presence, Protean, Animalism, and Auspex. Caine then became aware of the Path of Blood, the Final Path from which all paths stem. And with all these powers, but now being cursed to be a vampire he breaks his bond with Lilith and leaves her.[3] While Cain never biologically fathers any children it is clear that their names of those he embraced and their decedents are inspired by the biblical names in his line though with massive changes. For instance the first city is founded by Cain in the land of Nod and and called Ubar and is explicitly stated to be settled by “Children of Seth” with the human king being Enoch at the time Cain settles there. Enoch still becomes his son as he is embraced by Cain. Another example of the reuse of a biblical name of Cain’s line is Zillah (which in Hebrew means shade or protection). In the original story she is one of Lamech(decedent of Cain) two wives( the other named Adah). After both wives discover that Lamech unwittingly kills Tubal-Cain(one of Lamech and Zillah’s sons) they both refuse to have sex with him because of the deaths he caused, on the pretext that they do not desire to give birth to cursed offspring. The three go together to the tribunal of Adam; Adam rules that they must obey their husband since he killed unwittingly. This midrashic tradition portrays Adah and Zillah as respected women, whose position is considered in all seriousness by the court. [4] In VTM Zillah was a human woman who lived in Udar so beautiful, Caine could not resist the Embrace. According to Nosferatu Zillah is the one of Cain’s second generation who sired their Antediluvian. Interestingly, even after the Embrace, Zillah did not desire him. It frustrated Caine to the point that he was ripping his hair out of his head. He did anything and everything to make her desire him. Yet, she would not have him. Finally, Caine sought the Crone's magic, who ultimately tricked him into a blood bond, she forced the First Vampire to Embrace her. The Crone sent her new thrall away, telling him that his blood would have the power to bond others as Caine himself was bonded to the Crone. The discovery of the blood bond was what finally made Zillah agree to marry her sire Caine. [3]

Libri per l’estate

Non potevamo certo lasciarvi accaldati per l’afa estiva e assetati di libri da gustare in vacanza! Ecco dunque una puntata fresca fresca di questa ormai consolidata rubrica di consigli letterari.

Iniziamo con due classici.

Processi verbali di Federico De Roberto: estremamente interessante l’esperimento di realismo verista di queste novelline (come le chiama l’autore nella sua concisa e lucidissima prefazione), che ricordano il Verga del ciclo dei vinti (folgorante in questo senso Il rosario), con il ricorso ai proverbi popolari (tanto va la secchia al pozzo, finché si rompe; carcere, malattia, necessità, si conosce l’amistà), con squarci di storia (il ’48 a Napoli e la rivolta di Bronte ne I vecchi), ma anche Pirandello e Guy de Maupassant, per non parlare di Lupetto, che sembra addirittura anticipare Raymond Carver. Esilarante e boccaccesco, un autentico gioiellino, il racconto di chiusura Il viaggio a San Vito.

Il denaro di Émile Zola: un’analisi acuta e quanto mai attuale del mondo degli affari e della Borsa. Imperi economici acquisiti e persi in un sol giorno, i re della finanza ossequiati e riveriti, i falliti derisi e respinti. In una sorta di eterno ritorno le azioni umane si riproducono ciclicamente senza lasciare l’insegnamento necessario a evitare il ripetersi degli errori. Così questo affresco della Borsa francese durante il Secondo impero ricorda le recenti bolle finanziarie che hanno causato la rovina di migliaia di piccoli risparmiatori e il crollo dei mutui fondiari. A manovrare i movimenti di una banca fantasma nata grazie alla complicità di diversi prestanome è il visionario Saccard, a cui il lettore (e con lui diverse figure femminili e un’infinita serie di dipendenti del gioco) si affeziona nonostante tutto e di cui segue le mosse con apprensione e ininterrotta curiosità per quasi 600 pagine che scorrono veloci come un fiume in piena, il fiume del denaro (l’argent del titolo) che passa per le mani di affaristi e speculatori, ma spesso solo in forma virtuale. La cosa più sorprendente è che lo spunto per la trama è tratto da un episodio realmente accaduto: la parabola del banchiere Paul Eugène Bontoux e della banca Union Générale fallita nel 1882. Se il denaro è il tema principale, questo romanzo appartiene pur sempre al ciclo dei Rougon-Macquart ed esplora le tare genetiche che, nella visione deterministica del naturalismo francese, minano la famiglia e ne spiegano i comportamenti. Victor, il figlio perverso e deforme del protagonista, ricorda ‘Coniglio mannaro’, uno degli ultimi discententi dell’indimenticabile famiglia Scacerni de Il mulino del Po di Riccardo Bacchelli. E non poteva mancare neppure il tema dell’antisemimitismo, caro all’autore del J’accuse. Insomma un piatto completo, per gli amanti della buona letteratura.

Non possiamo tralasciare l’ultimo Simenon pubblicato da Adelphi, Il dottor Bergelon: “Qualcosa si era guastato, senza che lui riuscisse a capire cosa”. La verità è che un fatto increscioso, una malaugurata deviazione dalla consueta routine ha avvelenato la pace interiore del protagonista al punto da fargli mettere in discussione l’intera sua esistenza. Affrontare Simenon è sempre come scendere negli abissi più profondi dell’animo umano.

Per chi avesse la fortuna di non aver mai letto Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, sono stati appena ristampati Le terme e Il labirinto greco in cui l’investigatore Pepe Carvalho esprime al meglio le sue doti culinarie e il suo fiuto per le indagini, il tutto in uno stile degno del grande Chandler.

Uno degli autori prediletti di Andrea G. Pinketts, Stuart Kaminsky, professore di storia e critica cinematografica alla Northwestern University di Evanstone, Illinois, farcisce con le proprie competenze letterarie e cinematografiche i suoi gialli hard boiled, per cui Bela Lugosi e William Faulkner diventano clienti del detective privato Toby Peters (“affettuosa parodia dell’investigatore della scuola dei duri”, da Hardboiled blues di Gian Franco Orsi) in due casi che si intrecciano in Never cross a Vampire. Gli amanti del noir potranno cogliere in queste pagine spunti per rivedere vecchi film o scoprirne di nuovi e introvabili. Così anche per Una pallottola per Errol Flynn, Il caso Howard Hughes e Follie di Hollywood, ma nei suoi gialli troviamo molte altre star, come Mae West, Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, Buster Keaton, Judy Garland e Raymond Chandler: pare proprio che il mondo del cinema sia una inesauribile fonte di ispirazione.

Fedele all’idea che uno scrittore dovrebbe trattare di ciò che conosce, nel creare i personaggi Kaminsky non esita a inserire cenni autobiografici, come le radici russe per l’ispettore Rostnikov (Morte di un dissidente: “Le sue armi: una falce, un martello e una bottiglia di vodka”), e la fede ebraica per il poliziotto Abe Lieberman, che opera in una Chicago quanto mai violenta e movimentata (La follia di Lieberman), città d’origine dello scrittore. Infine il detective Lew Fonesca, trasferitosi da Chicago (Midnight Pass) nell’atmosfera assolata e apparentemente pacifica della Florida, specializzato nella ricerca di persone scomparse (Cattive intenzioni, Parole al vento). Notevoli le collaborazioni con il regista Don Siegel per Ispettore Callaghan, il caso Scorpio è tuo, e con Sergio Leone per i dialoghi di C’era una volta in America. Insomma uno scrittore prolifico (possiamo contare una sessantina di titoli) per amanti del cinema, della letteratura e di uno stile ironico e versatile.

Un altro libro ambientato nella Hollywood degli anni d’oro: Perché corre Sammy?, di Budd Schulberg, Oscar alla migliore sceneggiatura originale per Fronte del porto, sceneggiatore di Il paradiso dei barbari con un esordiente Peter Falk e soggettista di Un volto nella folla di Elia Kazan e di Il colosso d’argilla con Humphrey Bogart.

“Quello che mi faceva infuriare era che Sammy era la persona più scaltra e più ottusa che avessi mai conosciuto. Era dotato di un’intelligenza che era in grado di impiegare unicamente a vantaggio di Sammy Glick. È un tipo di intelligenza che comporta una certa ottusità: una specie di sterminata zona d’ombra con un solo raggio di luce diritto davanti a se stessi”.

Ma chi è Sammy? Un arrivista, un arrampicatore sociale, con meno scrupoli che talento, di un cinismo disarmante, egoista e avido, anche le sue apparenti qualità sono solo difetti astutamente mascherati: “un piccolo fattorino ebreo sempre di corsa che diventa un potente produttore, sacrificando ogni cosa d’umano alla sua assetata ambizione”. Consigliato da Kurt Vonnegut (a sua volta scrittore ammirato da Umberto Eco), che addirittura lo paragona a Francis Scott Fitzgerald, è una lettura scorrevole e moderna che ci lascia agganciati al mistero di questo personaggio odioso e intraprendente fino all’ultima pagina. C’è, naturalmente, molto di autobiografico nelle opere di Schulberg: “Figlio del tycoon della Paramount, e lui stesso, per un certo tempo, prediletto di Hollywood... ma anche comunista inciampato nelle reti del Mccarthismo, spesso e volentieri elesse il mondo di Hollywood quale osservatorio ideale... I disincantati si concentra su come muore, in America, una leggenda. Uno scrittore grande e dimenticato, che ha avuto tutto, ed è stato travolto assieme a un mondo lussureggiante dalla crisi del ’29, si lascia umiliare e consumare nel corpo e nella dignità in un ultimo infimo lavoro da sceneggiatore di filmetti”. In questo caso l’episodio autobiografico si riferisce all’incontro di Schulberg con Scott Fitzgerald, chiamato dagli studios a collaborare alla revisione di una sua sceneggiatura.

Il 22 giugno 2022 potrete assistere alla presentazione del romanzo di Manuela Cattaneo della Volta e Livio Sposito, Un cuore al buio: Kafka, che si terrà presso la biblioteca Valvassori Peroni. Il libro racconta la “storia e la vita delle cinque donne che hanno amato Franz Kafka”.

Buone vacanze da tutto lo staff delle biblioteche di Milano!

Roma. Celebrato il 101° anniversario della costituzione del Gruppo Medaglie d'Oro al Valor Militare d'Italia: Crosetto depone una corona d'alloro al Sacello del Milite Ignoto

Roma. Celebrato il 101° anniversario della costituzione del Gruppo Medaglie d'Oro al Valor Militare d'Italia: Crosetto depone una corona d'alloro al Sacello del Milite Ignoto. Il Ministro della Difesa, Guido Crosetto, ha deposto una corona d'alloro al Sacello del Milite Ignoto all'Altare della Patria, in occasione del 101° anniversario della costituzione del Gruppo delle Medaglie d'Oro al Valor Militare di Italia. "Il Gruppo delle Medaglie d'Oro al Valor Militare d'Italia custodisce esempi di valore e virtù a cui ispirarsi, storie di persone comuni diventate eroi per il coraggio dimostrato, talvolta fino all'estremo sacrificio. Abbiamo il dovere di tramandare il loro esempio e di ricordare, non solo oggi, quanto ci hanno lasciato in eredità: la pace, la libertà, la possibilità di vivere in un Paese democratico e all'avanguardia", ha dichiarato il Ministro Crosetto, sottolineando l'importanza di queste testimonianze di coraggio e sacrificio per l'intera Nazione. "La Medaglia d'Oro al Valor Militare rimane un simbolo tangibile di altruismo estremo, sacrificio consapevole e generosa donazione della propria vita per la Patria e per gli altri. Essa esalta i valori più alti della professione militare e ricorda, anche in situazioni estreme, che l'eroismo individuale può fare la differenza nella difesa dei principi e della libertà" così ha sottolineato il Gen. C.A. M.O.V.M. Rosario Aiosa, Presidente del Gruppo Medaglie d'Oro al Valor Militare d'Italia in occasione della cerimonia, alla quale hanno partecipato autorità militari, civili e per il Consiglio Direttivo del Gruppo M.O.V.M il Ten. Col. M.O.V.M. Gianfranco Paglia e il Serg. M.O.V.M. Andrea Adorno, che condividono il valore e l'importanza di queste storiche onorificenze. "Il Gruppo Medaglie d'Oro al Valor Militare d'Italia rappresenta, oggi come nel passato, un esempio di coraggio e impegno per l'intera Nazione, un riferimento vivido da custodire, trasmettere e utilizzare come sprone per le generazioni future" così la medaglia d'oro al valor militare Paola Del Din, non presente alla cerimonia, ma che ha tenuto a far giungere il suo pensiero in occasione della giornata commemorativa. Fu la prima donna italiana a paracadutarsi in tempo di guerra da un aereo inglese a conclusione della "missione speciale Bigelow" compiuta per conto degli Alleati tra l'autunno 1944 e la primavera 1945. La Medaglia d'Oro al Valor Militare è il massimo riconoscimento militare italiano. Viene assegnata per «esaltare gli atti di eroismo militare, segnalando come degni di pubblico onore gli autori di essi e suscitando lo spirito di emulazione negli appartenenti alle forze militari». Ad oggi risultano 2604 i conferimenti, la maggioranza dei quali corrispondenti a fatti d'armi avvenuti durante la seconda guerra mondiale.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

RACCONTAMI SHAKESPEARE allo Spazio Teatro No'hma - Milano il 17 & 18/01

La stagione di prosa 2023/2024 dello Spazio Teatro No'hma prosegue mercoledì 17 e giovedì 18 gennaio con un spettacolo dedicato a Charles e Mary Lamb, i famosi fratelli inglesi che nel 1807 pubblicarono il volume "Racconti da Shakespeare", che conquistò subito il posto tra i più affermati classici per l'infanzia.

Andrea Cioffi e Sara Guardascione della compagnia Cercamond portano in scena con "Raccontami Shakespeare" la vita tragica di questi due giovani ispirati scrittori, segnati da una terribile vicenda familiare (Mary accoltellò la madre in seguito a un raptus di follia) e le cui esistenze sembrano uscite da una tragedia del Bardo.

Uniti da un vincolo profondo, Charles e Mary Lamb condivisero amicizie e interessi letterari fino a ricevere dall'editore William Godwin – padre di Mary Shelley - l'incarico di adattare alcune opere di Shakespeare in racconti per l'infanzia.

"Abbiamo scelto di fare un lavoro di ricerca su due personaggi storici realmente esistiti perché partendo dalla loro opera abbiamo tratteggiato due caratteri moderni e affascinanti, le cui battaglie sociali e artistiche risultano ancora oggi attuali e necessarie" – spiegano i due interpreti.

"Raccontami Shakespeare" è costruito su un dialogo evocativo e ironico che alterna momenti di narrazione nei quali alcuni dei più celebri personaggi shakesperiani vivono grazie alla voce e ai sentimenti dei due autori. Il racconto diventa così una storia spietata e comica, dalle tinte gotiche, capace di trasformarsi anche in occasione di denuncia contro un sistema educativo antiquato, un teatro autoreferenziato e una deriva sociale che ha come suo stesso motore la discriminazione del più debole e del diverso.

"Questi due fratelli sono stati capaci di evadere da uno scenario macabro come quello del loro vissuto, e dall'isolamento che ne conseguì, attraverso l'amore e la dedizione al teatro, alla letteratura e alla scrittura. La Bellezza li ha salvati e sono diventati tra gli scrittori più importanti della letteratura per l'infanzia. La loro è un'opera sicuramente sovversiva e allo stesso tempo appassionata" – spiega Livia Pomodoro, presidente dello Spazio Teatro No'hma Teresa Pomodoro.

Le date di mercoledì 17 e giovedì 18 gennaio saranno trasmesse in streaming sui canali del teatro.

L'ingresso è gratuito con prenotazione obbligatoria. Per informazioni consultare il sito www.nohma.org o scrivere a [email protected].
