Free Download Sulpicius Severus' Vita Martini By Philip Burton
2017 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 0199676224 | PDF | 9 MB
The Vita Martini or Life of Martin of Sulpicius Severus is one of the classic Latin hagiographies. Its hero, Martin, was one of the first monks in the Western Roman Empire, and was also one of the first monk-bishops. His life, as presented by Sulpicius, is a series of confrontations: with various Emperors and other leading figures in the Roman state, with members of the "Arian heresy," Christians whose theology of the Trinity placed them at odds with exponents of "Nicene" Christianity, with the his lax and venal fellow-bishops in Gaul, and above all with the Devil, whose various shows of strength and guile Martin faces down. The Vita Martini is a brilliant combination of Christian and classical culture, providing allusions both to the Bible and to authors such as Virgil and Sallust throughout. In addition to its intrinsic literary and historical interest, it is also an ideal first example of a "real Latin" text, with a series of vivid, anecdotal episodes. This edition provides a Latin text with facing English translation, along with a commentary addressing matters of linguistic, literary, theological, and wider cultural interest, taking into account the revolution in the study of 'late antiquity' in the last fifty years.

Free Download Apologia Pro Vita Sua (A Defense of One's Life) By John Henry Newman; Ian Ker
2005 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0486442136 | EPUB | 1 MB
A highly influential figure in the Church of England, John Henry Newman stunned the Anglican community in 1843, when he left his position as vicar of St. Mary's, Oxford, to join the Roman Catholic church. Perhaps no one took greater offense than Protestant clergyman Charles Kingsley, whose scathing attacks against Newman's faith and honor inspired this brilliant response.Apologia Pro Vita Sua,Newman's spiritual autobiography, explores the depths and nature of Christianity with flowing prose and a conversational style that has ensured its status as a classic."False ideas may be refuted by argument, but by true ideas alone are they expelled. I will vanquish," Newman promised, "not my accuser, but my judges." His honest and passionate defense consists of a personal history of his religious convictions, from earliest memory through the Oxford movement and his ultimate conversion. His concluding point-by-point refutation of Kingsley's charges features thought-provoking contentions that strike at the very roots of the principles underlying Protestantism. Newman won respect and admiration with hisApologia,a work that has helped clarify perceptions of Roman Catholicism among readers of every faith.

Nato in una famiglia di musicisti, fra le difficoltà economiche del dopoguerra e l'interminabile sconforto per la scomparsa prematura del fratello Romeo, batterista il cui esempio lo ispirerà costantemente, Tullio scopre il suo talento e lo coltiva con determinazione e con convinzione, ne fa un'arma per affermare i propri valori e per cercare il suo posto nel mondo. È così che fatica, sudore e un pizzico di fortuna (come sempre) lo portano ad influenzare sessant'anni di storia della musica; dalle prime esperienze con le compagnie di avanspettacolo, alle difficoltà di sopravvivenza da quattordicenne in una metropoli come la Milano dei primi anni '60, alle scazzottate nei locali notturni e al grande periodo pionieristico del jazz al Capolinea. E poi l'arrivo in "serie A", il raffinamento del suo suono e i primi dischi: le collaborazioni con grandi nomi, da Astor Piazzolla a Chet Baker, da Max Roach a Gerry Mulligan, e produzioni innovative da solista. Infine la consacrazione nel jazz e nel pop, che lo portano oltre i confini del bel paese, in America, in Africa... fino davanti al Papa. Ma cosa c'è "oltre la facciata"? La gioventù negata di una vita "presa in prestito" dalla musica e dalla famiglia, fatta di scontri con i signori dello show business e di insofferenza verso la mediocrità. Vissuta in maniera libera ed indipendente, da protagonista arrivato sotto i riflettori e acclamato dalla moltitudine.

Free Download La dolce vita (BFI Film Classics), 2nd Edition by Richard Dyer
English | May 28, 2020 | ISBN: 1838719849 | True EPUB | 88 pages | 2.1 MB
Fellini's La dolce vita has been a phenomenon since before it was made, a scandal in the making and on release in 1960 and a reference point ever since. Much of what made it notorious was its incorporation of real people, events and lifestyles, making it a documentation of its time. It uses performance, camera movement, editing and music to produce a striking aesthetic mix of energy and listlessness, of exuberance and despair.
