Nella sua lunga vita, Tolstój fu dapprima uno scrittore tradizionale, nel senso aristocratico del termine, per poi rinnegare completamente la propria attività e dedicarsi perlopiù a saggi di natura e

Questa deliziosa fiaba popolare rientra in uno dei tipi di intrecci fiabistici catalogato col numero 550 nellapposito indice. Questo intreccio e presente nel patrimonio folclorico di molti paesi oltre alla Russia. Il personaggio delluccello-brace e lo stesso del balletto di Stravinskij e di numerose altre opere famose, dove e stato reso come uccello di fuoco. Qui si e usata la resa filologica col trattino a dividere le due parole come in russo. ar-ptica parola per parola significa brace-uccello. La parola normalmente resa come fuoco, ar, significa brace accesa, e anche dalle stampe antiche si nota che e raffigurato come di brace, non come un fuoco. Tutte le ripetizioni e le ridondanze, del tipo raccontare un racconto, chiamare per nome, su di me, sul lupo grigio, servire un servigio, questo fatto che hai fatto, eccetera, eccetera sono state conservate nello spirito filologico che anima questa versione.Anche i bruschi passaggi dal presente al passato grammaticale dei verbi, e viceversa, sono stati conservati per rendere il tono della narrazione orale.Come vedete da questa breve nota, in cosi poche pagine di testo folclorico sono racchiuse tante conoscenze, tante tradizioni, tanti simboli. Per questo abbiamo preferito una versione filologica, con dovizia di spiegazioni. Per il nostro lettore modello lo scopo non e arrivare presto alla fine del libro, ma coglierne piu risvolti possibile.

A man appears in a high-security laboratory, with no possible explanation, speaking in Ancient Greek. What follows is not only a mystery, but a quest that shakes our certainties about language, truth, and power.With an entrancing rhythm and emotional depth, this novel combines the best of the thriller with an original and provocative philosophical vision that bursts forth with intelligence and beauty, inviting the reader not only to think but also to feel: in this story, the author shows us that something vital is at stake, and that asking a question can be more dangerousand more transformativethan finding an answer.This novel is ideal for those who enjoy science fiction with substance, ideas that unsettle, and stories that continue to resonate long after the book is closed.

L’opera di Nikolaj Leskóv è un’indagine dell’animo umano condotta sul campo e senza mediazioni, dove ciò che maggiormente interessa l’autore sono i tipi umani estremi, quelli che più si discostano da

PostfazioneHo pensato di tradurre Il giardino dei ciliegi quando mi sono accorto che gli alberi in questione non sono ciliegi, ma amareni. Il dramma ruota intorno allimpoverimento della famiglia dovuto proprio al fatto che le amarene non sono trasportabili (e quindi commerciabili) a meno di sottoporle prima a procedimenti di conservazione (marinatura). Sono proprio i procedimenti che non sono piu noti, e che causano la decadenza, con tutto cio che ne deriva. Manca il tramandarsi di generazione in generazione dei "metodi di famiglia", delle "tradizioni" che hanno fatto di questo, il piu grande amareneto della regione, una fonte di ricchezza.Quanto al "giardino", la parola russa sad si usa in locuzioni come fruktovyj sad, "giardino della frutta", ma che noi chiamiamo frutteto, zoologi?eskij sad, "giardino degli animali", ma che noi chiamiamo zoo, botani?eskij sad, "giardino botanico", ma che noi chiamiamo orto botanico e cosi via. Quindi risulta evidente che la resa giardino dei ciliegi e rozza e frettolosa (il che ovviamente non giustifica che non sia stata corretta nei centodieci anni successivi). Soprattutto, non e il giardino di casa, come pensano tutti gli italofoni a teatro, ma ettari ed ettari di campo coltivato a frutta. Non so se e piu bello o meno bello, ma certamente e diverso.Anche in tutto il resto la mia traduzione ha una sola ambizione: la precisione. Se mai una compagnia teatrale decidera di usarla per un allestimento, ci lavorera sopra, con o senza il mio aiuto. Io ho cercato di produrre battute recitabili, ma non sono ne attore ne regista. E non ce nulla di peggio di un traduttore che sceglie una formulazione immaginandosela abbinata a una certa intonazione, senza rendersi conto che quella intonazione e solo nella sua testa, ma non ci sono appigli ne di punteggiatura ne di altro tipo che possano suggerirla (a parte la telepatia, che forse non e un criterio del tutto scientifico).Il barin, la baryna, il mugik e altri realia sono rimasti tali. Nella maggior parte dei casi, sono parole reperibili nei dizionari di italiano. Per qualsiasi commento, suggerimento, critica vi prego di scrivermi. Ce di bello che gli ebook si possono correggere anche dopo averli venduti (e comprati). Buona lettura!Milano, 7 luglio 2014Bruno Osimo

In questo volume vengono accostate due opere di Leskóv in apparenza lontane tra loro. La prima, L’angelo sigillato, è un racconto del 1873 e ha per tema le vicissitudini di un gruppo di vecchiocreden

Questa traduzione del dramma cehoviano e stata condotta allo scopo di fornire alle compagnie teatrali e alle lettrici e ai lettori comuni un testo che, in mancanza di una conoscenza diretta della lingua russa, possa darne unidea piu simile possibile alloriginale. La punteggiatura, nei limiti consentiti dalla grammatica italiana, e stata conservata. I realia le parole intraducibili che caratterizzano la cultura esotica sono stati conservati, con nota a pie pagina, per mantenere il colorito delloriginale.La traduzione e stata svolta nellambito del corso di laurea magistrale in traduzione tenuto presso la Civica Scuola Altiero Spinelli di Milano nellanno accademico 2021-2022 dalle quattro allieve citate nella pagina del colophon, sotto la mia guida e supervisione.

The Perfect Finale Among the StarsImagine standing at the starting line, surrounded by beings who look like theyve dunked their heads in a paint can. You wonder if theyve just overindulged in some intergalactic grub. Then there are these bizarre rules: First, find the gate to the fifth dimension while simultaneously solving an interdimensional puzzle and whipping up a starfruit smoothie. Yep, because nothing motivates like a few galactic smoothies. And who has time for that? In what galaxy is there a job that satisfies the craving for intergalactic adventures? "#SpaceCowboys" by Cosmic Ryder is a hilarious sci-fi adventure that takes friends Lilli and Mia through a chaotic galaxy. The story kicks off with Lillis dreams, shaped by the quirky expectations of adults, leading her to her first wild escapade on the eccentric planet Zog, where living mattresses and Zog fruits spice up life. Joined by their peanut-butter-obsessed alien pal Zippel and the charismatic Zogglor, they face crazy moments like surviving a laser-shooting croissant, dancing with talking plants on Nibbleon, and saving the Snack Paradise from the snack-stealing robot Crunchor. The plot unfolds across chapters like their first trip into space, encounters with intergalactic flirtations, and unraveling the mysteries of a Chrono-Kugel that guides them to new worlds like Tanzora, where snacks dance. Blending slapstick humor, deep friendship bonds, and a touch of mystery, the book ends with a victory over Crunchor and a tease for a sequel, "Space Cowboys: The Call of the Stars," which will explore the Kugels origins. Released in 2025, this work offers a light, entertaining read for fans of cosmic chaos and snacks.
