La caduta del re di Johannes V. Jensen (Carbonio)
Considerato il romanzo più importante della letteratura danese, "La
caduta del re" ripercorre le vicende di Mikkel Thøgersen, personaggio
cinquecentesco dalle molte vite e dalle molte facce: inizialmente
studente svogliato e sognatore, corroso dal desiderio di vendetta,
Mikkel diventa mercenario e soldato, pellegrino e stupratore, e infine
compagno di prigionia del re Cristiano II. La sua storia, testimonianza
di un'intera epoca, scorre parallela a quella del sovrano assurto a
simbolo del declino della corona di Danimarca: Cristiano II, il re
indeciso che, secondo la leggenda, trascorse un'intera notte a navigare
avanti e indietro tra lo Jutland e la Fionia, incapace di affrontare la
battaglia. Un romanzo ricco di atmosfera che parla di passione, odio e
gelosia, passando dalla crudeltà sanguinosa alla dolcezza estatica, con
uno stile variegato e sorprendentemente moderno. Morte e amore, tragedia
e idillio si avvicendano in un'opera maestosa e suggestiva, un
capolavoro assoluto. Tradotto per la prima volta in italiano.
Gli strumenti della poesia. Manuale e diario di poetica di Franco Buffoni (Interlinea)
In questo libro uno dei maestri della poesia contemporanea, Franco
Buffoni, racconta in modo trasparente e niente affatto accademico come
nasce, come si forma e come si trasforma nel corso dei decenni la
poetica di un autore. Orgoglioso della propria discendenza
estetico-filosofica da Luciano Anceschi (secondo il quale «la
riflessione che gli artisti e i poeti compiono sul proprio fare,
indicandone i sistemi tecnici e le norme operative, le moralità e gli
ideali, è la poetica»), Buffoni mette a nudo se stesso e fotografa con
precisione stile, forme e linguaggi della poesia italiana nei decenni
cruciali del passaggio tra il Novecento e questo secolo ancora
indicibile che ci sta ospitando.
Fiore di poesia (1951-1997) di Alda Merini (Einaudi)
Quella di Alda Merini è una poesia che muove attorno a un dolore
radicale, assumendo multiformi aspetti: di ferita biografica, incubo
mentale, ansia ascetica. Ma i versi della poetessa si aprono a feconde
contraddizioni e nel momento stesso in cui articolano la loro poetica
del dolore dichiarano un senso panico della vita che ha gli accenti di
una felicità sensuale, ingorda di erotismo, di ritmi terrestri e ritmi
cosmici.
Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass by Lana Del Rey
THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT BOOK OF POETRY FROM LANA DEL REY, VIOLET BENT BACKWARDS OVER THE GRASS
'Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass
is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some
of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed
out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make
the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be
anything other than what they are and for that reason I’m proud of them,
especially because the spirit in which they were written was very
authentic. Lana Del Rey
Lana’s breathtaking first book solidifies her further as 'the essential writer of her times' (The Atlantic). The collection features more than thirty poems, many exclusive to the book: Never
to Heaven, The Land of 1,000 Fires, Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving,
LA Who Am I to Love You?, Tessa DiPietro, Happy, Paradise Is Very
Fragile, Bare Feet on Linoleum and many more. This beautiful
hardcover edition showcases Lana’s typewritten manuscript pages
alongside her original photography. The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator.
Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass
is also brought to life in an unprecedented spoken word audiobook which
features Lana Del Rey reading fourteen select poems from the book
accompanied by music from Grammy Award-winning musician Jack Antonoff.
Walking with Ghosts by Gabriel Byrne
Walking with Ghosts is the stunningly evocative memoir by Irish actor and Hollywood star, Gabriel Byrne.
'Dreamy, lyrical and utterly unvarnished' – Colm Tóibín
As
a young boy growing up in the outskirts of Dublin, Gabriel Byrne sought
refuge in a world of imagination among the fields and hills near his
home, at the edge of a rapidly encroaching city. Born to working-class
parents and the eldest of six children, he harboured a childhood desire
to become a priest. When he was eleven years old, Byrne found himself
crossing the Irish Sea to join a seminary in England. Four years later,
Byrne had been expelled and he quickly returned to his native city.
There he took odd jobs as a messenger boy and a factory labourer to get
by. In his spare time he visited the cinema, where he could be alone and
yet part of a crowd. It was here that he could begin to imagine a life
beyond the grey world of ’60s Ireland.
He revelled in the theatre
and poetry of Dublin’s streets, populated by characters as eccentric
and remarkable as any in fiction, those who spin a yarn with acuity and
wit. It was a friend who suggested Byrne join an amateur drama group, a
decision that would change his life forever and launch him on an
extraordinary forty-year career in film and theatre. Moving between
sensual recollection of childhood in a now almost vanished Ireland and
reflections on stardom in Hollywood and on Broadway, Byrne also
courageously recounts his battle with addiction and the ambivalence of
fame.
Walking with Ghosts is by turns hilarious and
heartbreaking as well as a lyrical homage to the people and landscapes
that ultimately shape our destinies.

Rosicrucian America: How a Secret Society Influenced the Destiny of a Nation by Steven Sora
An in-depth history of Rosicrucianism, its key members, and their roles in the formation and settling of America
&;
Explores Sir Francis Bacon and Dr. John Dee&;s deep influence on
England&;s colonization of America as well as the Rosicrucian
influence on the Founding Fathers and on cities such as Philadelphia and
Williamsburg
&; Explains how Bacon was the author of many
anonymous Rosicrucian texts and how he envisioned America as the
&;New Atlantis&;
&; Reveals the connections of the
Order of the Rosy Cross to the Knights of the Golden Circle and to the
Georgia Guidestones
Dr. John Dee and his polymath
protégé Sir Francis Bacon were the most influential
men in the court of Queen Elizabeth I, part of an elite group with
invisible control throughout Europe. And, as Steven Sora reveals, not
only were they key members of the Rosicrucians, they were the driving
force behind England&;s colonization of the New World and the
eventual establishment of the United States.
From Avalon in
Newfoundland to New England to Pennsylvania and Virginia, Sora shows how
Bacon and Dee&;s Rosicrucian impact is felt throughout North
America. He details Bacon&;s possible authorship of the anonymous
Rosicrucian texts of the early 1600s, his connections with Sir Walter
Raleigh&;s School of Night, and the origins of Rosicrucianism in
Bacon&;s Order of the Helmet. He explains how Bacon envisioned
America as the New Atlantis, a utopia where liberty and freedom of
learning prevailed--a key tenet of the &;Invisible College&; of
the Rosicrucian Order--and how Dee convinced the Queen that England had
rightful claims in the New World by drawing on legends of both King
Arthur and Welsh Prince Madoc voyaging West to America.
Sora
looks at Rosicrucian influences on the Founding Fathers and earliest
settlers of America, such as Washington, Franklin, and William Penn of
Pennsylvania, on the American Revolution, and on American colonies, such
as the Williamsburg colony. He details how Penn invited Rosicrucians to
Philadelphia and how the city&;s layout follows esoteric
principles, including a direct reference to Bacon&;s New Atlantis.
Moving into the 1800s and beyond, he reveals how a handful of
Rosicrucians served as the Inner Sanctum of the Knights of the Golden
Circle and how Rosicrucians are behind the Georgia Guidestones, carved
granite monoliths with messages in ancient languages.
Providing a
thorough and expansive view of Rosicrucianism, its occult origins, and
its deep imprint on America, Sora shows how this secret society still
continues to exert invisible influence on the modern world.

The Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians: A Lost Classic by Magus Incognito by William Walker Atkinson and Clint Marsh
The Rosicrucians are a truly "secret society" whose philosophy has come to light at different points in history. In the 1600s they issued a set of manifestos calling for an enlightened revolution that would reshape society into a more democratic ideal. Even the American Founding Fathers were influenced by these manifestos.
Writing as Magus Incognito, William Walker Atkinson reintroduces a new generation of readers to the Rosicrucian ideals, as well as to a myriad of connections between occult concepts as varied as alchemy, reincarnation, the astral plane, auras, Eastern and Western mysticism, and the "evolution of mankind" among seven esoteric versions of planets in our solar system.
There are more than two dozen organizations of Rosicrucians, with local groups in nearly every state—more than 100 in all—and half a million or more followers. Interest continues to be high in this group.

The True and Invisible Rosicrucian Order: The Original Edition by Paul Foster Case , Tony DeLuce, et al.
This is a thorough presentation of the Rosicrucian system of Initiation
by Dr. Paul Foster Case. He explains that Rosicrucianism is based upon
earthly organizations, but on personal unflodment, and clearly describes
the distinctive marks of a Rosicrucian. The treatise is divided into
two main parts by Dr. Case. The first is a careful examination and
interpretation of the principle Rosicrucian maneifestos, the Fama
Fraternitatis and the Confessio Fraternitatis. The second part is an
explanation of the Rosicrucian Grade system, as applied to the diagram
of the Tree of Life and Tarot attributions. By participating in the
outlined procedures, aspirants are put on the right track of preparing
themselves for union with the Higher Self, which may or may not include
group work with an outer order or fraternity. The first editions of
1927, 1928 and 1933 were of limited publication. The fourth and most
complete expansion of the text by Paul Case ws finished in 1937, revised
by him in 1953 just before his death , and published in by Weiser in
1985. It represents the full maturity of his thought on this subject.
The Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians - Illustrated with the Secret Rosicrucian Symbols (Aziloth Books) by Magus Incognito
This is one of the numerous Yogi Publication Society (YPS) books which
have been attributed to William Walker Atkinson under pseudonym. It
bears strong similarities to The Kybalion, which is also known to have
been authored by Atkinson. The material was later re-worked as one of
the volumes in his series The Arcane Teachings. The term Rosicrucian
(symbol: the Rose Cross) describes a secret society of mystics,
allegedly formed in late mediaeval Germany, holding a doctrine "built on
esoteric truths of the ancient past", which, "concealed from the
average man, provide insight into nature, the physical universe and the
spiritual realm." In later centuries many masonic and occult societies
have claimed to derive their doctrines, in whole or in part, from the
original Rosicrucians.
Rosicrucian Trilogy: Modern Translations of the Three Founding Documents by Joscelyn Godwin, Christopher McIntosh
The Rosicrucian Trilogy features modern translations of Fama Fraternitatis(1614), Confessio Fraternitatis (1615), and The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreuz (1616) with 30 original illustrations by Hans Wildermann.
Four hundred years ago, the publication of these 3 anonymous documents launched the Rosicrucian movement. The story of Christian Rosenkreuz and his secretive order, as told in the Fama Fraternitatis, had political repercussions that continue to this day, while The Chemical Wedding is a landmark in European fantasy fiction. This present book offers the 3 founding documents in reliable, readable, modern English. Fully annotated and with modern introductions, these new translations explain the historical context, shed light on the beginnings of the Rosicrucian Order, and bring this fascinating material to a wider readership.

The Invisible History of the Rosicrucians: The World's Most Mysterious Secret Society by Tobias Churton
The first complete historical and philosophical investigation into the “invisible fraternity” of the Rosicrucians
• Contains the latest research on the origins of the Rosicrucian movement
• Presents the ties between Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, and the Templars
• Written by a “perfected” Knight of the Rose Croix and the Pelican (18th degree, Ancient and Accepted Rite)
For
nearly 400 years, incredible myths and stories have been woven around
the “invisible” Brothers of the Rose Cross, the Rosicrucians. It is said
that they possessed the secret of man and God, that they could turn
lead into gold, that they governed Europe in secret, that theirs was the
true philosophy of Freemasonry, and that they could save--or
destroy--the world. In The Invisible History of the Rosicrucians,
Tobias Churton, a “perfected” Knight of the Rose Croix and the Pelican
(18th degree, Ancient and Accepted Rite), presents the first definitive
historical and philosophical view of this mysterious brotherhood.
Starting
at its beginnings in Germany in 1603, Churton unveils the truth behind
the complex story that underlies the Rosicrucian movement. He explains
its purpose, the motives of its earliest creators, and the manifestos
“accidentally” published in the 17th century that emerged at precisely
the time when modern science was emerging. He details the people who
influenced its development--including Johannes Kepler, Robert Fludd, and
Sir Francis Bacon--and the ties between the Rosicrucians, Freemasons,
and Templars. He also shows how Rosicrucianism shaped the mythology and
spiritual consciousness of both North and South America and reveals that
there are many Rosicrucian fraternities still active throughout the
world today.
