Bøger om Veneto

Hverdagens, kunstens, historiens, elskovens og vandets Venedig. Set gennem fotograf Lars Gundersens poetiske kamera og forfatter Jens Blendstrups visuelle fantasi. Venedig har gennem de seneste tusind år fascineret og fortryllet alle, der har besøgt den.Krydderier og krig, søfartsdominans og sære doger, lette damer og Casanova, forfattere, komponister og alskens lurendrejere – Venedig har lagt kanaler og brosten til det hele og lidt til. Nu har d’herrer Blendstrup og Gundersen lusket rundt i kroge og afkroge i et forsøg på at aflure Venedig sin uskyld. Men der er ikke nogen.Venedig – eller kunsten at fare vild er Blendstrup & Gundersens tredje fælles bogprojekt. Tidligere er udkommet Toværelses med lykkelig udgang (2008) og Berlin – øjenvidnevariationer (2012).Pressen skriver:»I ”Venedig – kunsten at fare vild” får vi Blendstrup i topform for fuld, grotesk udblæsning, og hans begavede og originale fabuleren får passende modspil af Lars Gundersens stemningsfulde efterårsbilleder med lange, mørke skygger.«***** – Tom Hermansen, Jyllands-Posten »I en tid, hvor kommercielle hensyn ofte vejer tungere end kvalitet og poetisk overskud, er bogen Venedig – eller kunsten at fare vild intet mindre end et opløftende mirakel […] En trallende og legesyg bog, der konstant eksploderer i fantasifulde særheder, og som man kun kan blive opstemt af.«– Nanna Goul, Weekendavisen

Dennoch beginnen die Inselbewohnerinnen, den vorher so unscheinbaren Alberto mit ganz anderen Augen zu sehen...Mit unterhaltsamer Leichtigkeit nimmt die humorvolle und clevere Gesellschaftssatire die vorherrschenden Geschlechterrollen und Klischees unserer übersexualisierten Gesellschaft aufs Korn und thematisiert nebenbei die Macht der vorschnellen Meinung und Gerüchte. Natürlich auf zugespitzte, absurde und frivole Art und Weise. (S)explizite Inhalte hat diese frivole Satire jedoch nicht zu bieten. Auch wenn es immer nur um das eine geht...

"James Wilson Morrice: Paintings and Drawings of Venice" is the first comprehensive overview of the artist's images of Venice, Italy. Living in Paris for most of his life, Morrice (1865-1924) was the first Canadian painter to make regular trips to Venice from the mid 1890s to about 1908. This book situates Morrice within the history of Venice and Venetian art in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by looking carefully at his more than one hundred modernist paintings and numerous drawings of "La Serenissima." During his lifetime, Morrice's Venetian pictures appeared in art exhibitions in Paris, London and other European countries, as well as in Montreal and the United States. Constantly cited in exhibition reviews, Morrice was praised for his modernity, and his Venice works have ensured his fame and importance for years to come.

'Donna Leon provides another delectable slice of the thoughtful policeman's life at work and at home... So Shall You Reap is as witty and wise as anything Leon has written. To read her is to restore the soul.' The TimesOn a cold November evening, Guido Brunetti and Paola are up late when a call from his colleague Ispettore Vianello arrives, alerting the Commissario that a hand has been seen in one of Venice's canals. The body is soon found, and Brunetti is assigned to investigate the murder of an undocumented Sri Lankan immigrant. Because no official record of the man's presence in Venice exists, Brunetti is forced to use the city's far richer sources of information: gossip and the memories of people who knew the victim. Curiously, he had been living in a garden house on the grounds of a palazzo owned by a university professor, in which Brunetti discovers books revealing the victim's interest in Buddhism, the revolutionary Tamil Tigers, and the last crop of Italian political terrorists, active in the 1980s.As the investigation expands, Brunetti, Vianello, Commissario Griffoni, and Signorina Elettra each assemble pieces of a puzzle-random information about real estate and land use, books, university friendships-that appear to have little in common. Until Brunetti stumbles over something that transports him back to his own student days, causing him to reflect on lost ideals and the errors of youth, on Italian politics and history, and on the accidents that sometimes lead to revelation.PRAISE FOR DONNA LEON'A splendid series . . . with a backdrop of the city so vivid you can almost smell it' Sunday Telegraph'One of the most exquisite and subtle detective series ever' Washington Post'Rich entertainment' Sunday Times

Den albanske humanist og præst Marin Barleti (ca. 1460-efter 1512) er en af Europas betydeligste fortællere. Hans biografi af nationalhelten Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg (1405-68) blev en international bestseller, der i århundreder inspirerede til episke digte, dramaer, operaer m.m. Bogen var også kendt i Danmark, og den var grundlag for at Holberg regnede Skanderbeg for verdenshistoriens største helt. Desuden skrev Barleti en bevægende skildring af et heltemodigt borgerkollektiv i den lille albanske by Shkodra, hvor han selv var vokset op. Den var på hans tid en forpost i Venedigs imperium. I 1478 deltog han i forsvaret af byen, som blev angrebet og belejret af den osmanniske sultan Mehmed Erobreren.Barleti levede som flygtning i Venedig da han skrev sine store latinske værker. Begge hans heltehistorier er præget af en smertelig modsætning mellem forfatterens anerkendelse af Venedigs gæstfrihed og hans protest mod den fornemme bys holdning til begivenhederne.LATINERKVARTERET er en serie af bøger, som har til formål at formidle kendskabet til latin og latinsk kultur i antikken og senere. LATINERKVARTERET udgives i samarbejde med Societas Latina Daniae (Latinselskabet).

Venedig ist gilt einerseits als die Stadt des Massentourismus - vergiftet durch die schiere Menge der sich durch die Gassen schiebenden Massen. Andererseits ist Venedig durch seine Geschichte die Stadt der Freiheit und die Stadt des Wir-Gefühls: Fundamente in eine Gegend ohne Fundamente zu legen geht nur im Gemeinsinn.Freiheit ist der philosophische Grundgedanke Venedigs, der in diesem Essay besprochen wird - neben einer höchst subjektiven Erzählung der Geschichte Venedigs.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - and. Länder - Mittelalter, Frühe Neuzeit, Note: 2, Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wer heute durch die Straßen der Stadt Venedig spaziert, wird an zahlreichen Gebäuden den geflügelten Löwen, das Symbol des Evangelisten Markus, finden. Wer sich Buchcover zu Veröffentlichungen über die Lagunenstadt näher ansieht, wird feststellen, dass häufig dieses Zeichen auf den Titelseiten zu finden ist. Und wer das aktuelle Wappen der Hauptstadt der Region Venetiens betrachtet, wird abermals auf den Markuslöwen stoßen. Dies zeigt, wie selbst heute noch die Verbindung zwischen dem Evangelisten Markus und der Stadt Venedig sichtbar ist, wenngleich sie in der Vergangenheit noch viel stärker war und das, obwohl er selbst nie dort gewesen ist. Es stellt sich also zwangsläufig die Frage, wie es überhaupt möglich gewesen ist, dass der heilige Markus zum Staatspatron Venedigs wurde, obwohl dieser selbst nie dort gewesen ist. Diese Frage, ist die einleitende Forschungsfrage dieser Arbeit. Von ihr ausgehend, soll in weiterer Folge noch aufgezeigt werden, dass der Aufstieg Venedigs im Mittelalter eng mit dem Aufblühen des Markuskultes zusammenhing. Ein weiteres Ziel ist es zu verdeutlichen, warum die Markuslegenden zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten entstanden sind. Der Rückgang des Einflusses Venedigs sowie die Auflösung der Republik wird in dieser Arbeit nicht behandelt, da es in erster Linie, um die Geschehnisse des Früh- und Hochmittelalters gehen wird, in denen sich der Kult um den heiligen Markus zu bilden begann und folglich auch seinen Höhepunkt erreicht hat.
