Domani: Primo il Rinascimento raccontato da Cazzullo, poi Pulixi e Corona Tre libri che guardano indietro, nessuno al futuro. Forse perché ogni epoca in crisi finisce per cercare consiglio dai propri fantasmi. Alcuni si chiamano Leonardo. Altri Agatha Christie. Altri ancora, semplicemente, Felice First Cazzullo’s account of the Renaissance, then Pulixi and Corona. Three books looking back, none at the future. Perhaps because every crisis-ridden era ends up seeking advice from its own ghosts. Some are called Leonardo. Others Agatha Christie. Still others, simply, Felice. #FirstCazzullo’s #Renaissance #Pulixi #Corona #Leonardo #AgathaChristie #Felicehttps://www.editorialedomani.it/idee/cultura/classifica-libri-settimana-primo-rinascimento-cazzullo-pulixi-e-corona-eg8lurr2

"That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou see'st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away, Death's second self, that seals up all in rest."

  • William Shakespeare, "Sonnet 73" 🎨 Raymond McCormack

The whole column is worth reading, but just to expand a little on this comment about why the racist right is in such a frenzy about the #TheOdyssey cast: "[Black people don't belong, because] The Odyssey is a pillar of “Western civilization,” which they consider to be white. SO MUCH work went into constructing this view of a "Western Civilization" stretching from the ancient Mediterranean (or even Mesopotamia) to the northern European/American present, much of it carried out in the nineteenth century as part of an explicit program of racial and imperial justification. And the contortions to make it "white" are equally illuminating. #Renaissance authors who looked to the ancient past were much more acutely attuned to the distinctions between southern Europe with its connections to the Mediterranean, and the northern areas outside of Rome. 🎁 link: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/07/odyssey-race/688058/?gift=2KhEOewKu103aR6RIOWuaqHRMEZxJM4PdCaSqDwGdkg&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share @histodons #WesternCivilization #imperialism
