Una collana di opere letterarie in versione integrale, o comunque non facilitata, indirizzata al triennio della scuola secondaria di secondo grado e, in particolare, agli studenti che affrontano il colloquio interdisciplinare dell’Esame di Stato.

La scelta dei titoli, infatti, insieme alla sezione illustrata posta all’inizio di ogni libro, riflette un percorso tematico, o intertestuale, o interdisciplinare che lo studente può seguire e sviluppare nell’ottica critica e pluridisciplinare degli studi del triennio.

Le attività di analisi testuale, le note biografiche e di introduzione all’opera, le note lessicali e culturali costituiscono un valido aiuto alla lettura e alla compren-sione profonda del testo letterario, del suo contesto, dei temi e degli stili che lo percorrono.

Jane AustenSense and Sensibility

LEVEL 3

Sense and Sensibility is a delightful novel of manners in which the sisters Elinor and Marianne represent the contrast between these two qualities.The book describes how young women living at the turn of the 19th century and with no economic power must attend to the serious business of obtaining security and respectability through a good marriage.Jane Austen shows us how they can achieve that goal, while remaining true to their hearts.

N. GordimerOf Men and Animals Six Modernist Short Stories

CLASSIC

All six stories explore relationships using animal images – either naturalistically or symbolically, or both. The full-colour section sets their work against the enormously rich background of religions, myth-makers and writers across the world that have drawn on animal imagery to express ideas about the human animal – about his aspirations, his search for meaning and understanding, and his relationship with other animals.

Escape Women’s Unease in Eveline

and The FoxCLASSIC

Escape brings together stories by two of the major British writers of the first part of the 20th century: James Joyce’s Eveline and David Herbert Lawrence’s The Fox. Both stories deal with the theme of women trapped in everyday life from which they dream of escaping, but in very different ways. Both Joyce and Lawrence were master story-tellers and saw the potential of the short story and novelette for focussing on a woman’s point of view with a new degree of intimacy.

ECHOES

Edgar Allan PoeDark Reason

and Lucid Madness Selected Stories

CLASSIC

Edgar Allan Poe is perhaps most famous today for his tales of terror, but he is also widely credited with the origin and development of the modern detective story. This collection includes The Gold Bug, one of Poe’s stories of “logic and ratiocination”, forerunners of the modern detective story. The other tales tell of horror, torture, and fear.The cross-curricular section focuses on the combination of logical science with Gothic insight and explores Poe’s influence on the authors of today’s horror stories.

“Da quando esistono i libri, c’è stato qualcuno che ne ha avuto paura.Da quando il papiro è stato usato per scriverci sopra, più o meno nel 3.000 a.C., è iniziato il rogo dei libri.Perché? Perché quando una storia viene scritta, succede una cosa straordinaria. Se qualcuno appena inizia a guardarla, prende vita. Si muove e cresce, diventando una cosa nuova e diversa ogni volta. Universi interi divampano nell’esistenza da una goccia d’inchiostro.I libri infilano idee nelle vostre teste. La parola scritta gioca con la vostra immaginazione, vi fa pensare, vi fa attraversare mondi meravigliosi e vi aiuta a trovare un senso in questo, di mondo. Accende fuochi nella vostra mente. Non c’è nulla di più potente. Come disse una volta il poeta americano John Ciardi, la biblioteca pubblica è il luogo più pericoloso al mondo.Così, che leggiate un libro di carta o sullo schermo, poco importa. La purezza e il potere della parola scritta sono eterni. Qualunque sia il suo aspetto, c’è sempre ancora vita in un vecchio libro.”

Universi nella mente
