Born in 1932, Giovanni Finzi-Contini is both a distinguished geophysicist and prize-winning poet and novelist. In this, his first published novel, he imaginatively reconstructs the history of his maternal grandfather’s family in Ferrara from the emancipation of the Jews in newly united Italy to Fascist anti-Semitic persecution and the second world war. The elderly and frail Alberto Minerbi, who has escaped from a Fascist prison, is transported across Bologna on a cart, disguised as an old woman. As he goes, he recalls key episodes from his and his family’s past in a series of vivid

The Lives of Caravaggio is comprised of the earliest three biographies of the Italian Baroque master, revealing how his revolutionary painting and tempestuous character fascinated and appalled his contemporaries. With 20 color reproductions.In the course of a short and violent life, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571– 1610) revolutionized painting, producing a style of shockingly immediate realism that swept through Europe and still resonates today. Almost everything we know about his life comes from these three early biographies, and they reflect the often horrified fascination that Ca

Major events and personalities of 20th-century physics are portrayed in the recollections and in the historiographical works of one of the prominent figures of European science. A former student of Enrico Fermi, and a leading personality of physical research and science policy in postwar Italy, Edoardo Amaldi devoted part of his activity to document, both as witness and as historian, some significant moments of 20th-century science. The focus in this volume is on the European scene, ranging from nuclear research in Rome in the 1930s to particle physics at CERN, and including biographies of suc

This volume presents a cross-section of late-1990s generative research into the syntax of relative clause constructions. Most of the papers collected here react in some way to Kayne’s (1994) proposal to handle relative clauses in terms of determiner complementation and raising of the relativized nominal. The editors provide a thorough introduction to these proposals, their background and motivations, and arguments for and against. There are also detailed studies in the syntax and the semantics of relative clause constructions in Latin, Ancient Greek, Romanian, Hindi, (Old) English, and O
