The Century 1847 – 1946

The Century Association is a private social, arts, and dining club in New York City, founded in 1847. Its clubhouse is located at 7 West 43rd Street near Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. It is primarily a club for men and women with distinction in literature or the arts. The Century Association was founded by members of New York’s Sketch Club; preceding clubs also included the National Academy of Design, the Bread and Cheese Club, and the Column. Traditionally a men’s club, women first became active in club life in the early 1900s; the organization began admitting women as members in 1988. Named after the first 100 people proposed as members, the first meeting on January 13, 1847 created the club known as the Century; it was incorporated in 1857. It was first housed at 495 Broadway in Lower Manhattan; the club gradually moved uptown, leading to the club’s construction of its current location in 1899. During the Civil War, it became headquarters to the U.S. Sanitary Commission. 134 Centurions served in World War I; 110 served in World War II.

Poesie con testo a fronte

Poesie con testo a fronte – Parma, Guanda 1960 (prima edizione italiana) PREVERT JACQUES. Poesie con testo a fronte. Traduzione, introduzione e note di Gian Domenico Giagni. Parma, Guanda, 1960. Cm. 23, pp. xix (1), 246 (2). Testo francese e traduzione italiana a fronte. Brossura editoriale con titoli in blu e nero al piatto e al dorso. Bella sovraccoperta illustrata a colori di Carlo Corritore.Esemplare nel complesso ben conservato. Jacques Prévert (1900 – 1977) e stato un poeta e sceneggiatore francese. La poesia di Prévert e una poesia scritta per essere detta e quindi piu parlata che scritta, fatta per entrare a far parte della nostra vita. Cio che esce con prepotenza e il concetto di amore come unica salvezza del mondo, un amore implorato, sofferto, tradito, ma alla fine sempre ricercato. Le poesie di Prévert o meglio le sue ‘tranches de vie’ si offrono facilmente ad una interpretazione musicale perché non si allontanano molto dallo schema tradizionale delle chanson tipicamente francesi senza far si che questo ne diminuisca il valore soprattutto se si pensa che nei tabarins e nelle strade di Parigi hanno raccolto consensi Le Dormeur du Val di Arthur Rimbaud, Le pont Mirabeau e Les saltimbanques di Guillaume Apollinaire, Si tu t’imagines di Queneau. Non comune prima edizione italiana. Collezione Felice diretta da Attilio Berrtolucci (edizione fuori serie), nr 41.

Kosova 1-3

Published in three volumes, the Kosova series is the first attempt by an Albanian author to make a comprehensive history presentation of this small European country. Providing an analysis of the past, from ancient to modern times, Jusuf Buxhovi distinguishes Kosova as a continuation of the old kingdom of Dardania—a land inhabited by Albanians throughout history. The author, who has previously been awarded for many of his historical works, is unaffected by the bias of academics influenced by the communist regime. He describes and analyzes the past with fairness and balance, considering different points of views and accepting the well-founded arguments of domestic and foreign scholars. Ultimately, relying on this approach, Buxhovi views Kosova or Dardania as an integral part of the Albanian ethnic territory, as a cradle of progressive development, and as the birthplace of prominent individuals who contributed to their nation as well as the Western civilization as a whole. 1: Kosova: Dardania in Ancient and Medieval Times 2: Kosova: The Ottoman Empire 3: Kosova: From Occupation to International Protectorate

A History of the Hebrew Language

A History of the Hebrew Language by Angel Sáenz-Badillos (Author), John Elwolde (Translator), Shelomo Morag (Foreword) A History of the Hebrew Language is a comprehensive description of Hebrew from its Semitic origins and the earliest settlement of the Israelite tribes in Canaan to the present day. Professor Sáenz-Badillos sets Hebrew in the context of the Northwest Semitic languages and examines the origins of Hebrew and its earliest manifestations in ancient Biblical poetry, inscriptions, and prose written before the Babylonian exile. He looks at the different medieval traditions of pointing classical Biblical Hebrew texts and the characteristic features of the post-exilic language, including the Hebrew of the Dead Sea Scrolls. He gives particular attention to Rabbinic and medieval Hebrew, especially as evidenced in writings from Spain. His survey concludes with the revival of the language in this century in the form of Israeli Hebrew.
