About This Item
Venice: La Stamperia di Venezia Editrice. Very Good/Very Good. 1981. Wraps. Sm 4to 8885084001 Dust jacket complete over card covered book. Bilingual - English and Italian text. 198 pages including photographs, illustrations, bibliography. From the timeless, and at the same time extremely modern, sea voyage - a primitive idea, which unites Ulysses, Aeneas and Beowulf over the centuries with Hemingway's `old man' - to the journey to a distant land, towards an ultima Thule, also a repeated mirage of fables and legends of all nations and races; from the concept of the good sovereign, dispensing justice, to that of an opulent place, by day or night, fitting for the celebration of perfect love, or the very opposite (thanks to the mystery of the place and its structural peculiarites) , of darkest betrayal, with the inevitable accompaniment of subterfuge and disguise, Venice can embrace many of those primordial, inborn concepts and images in which it is possible to perceive the roots or, to use a more technical term, the formal, pre-literary causes of poetic creation. .
