Opera visionaria di critica letteraria in cui si sostiene e si dimostra la tesi che il vero autore delle commedie di Shakespeare sia in realtà Francis Bacon; nel primo libro si studiano i due personaggi separatamente e nel tesro capitolo i parallelismi nelle metafore, espressioni, opinioni, studi, errori, uso di parole desuete, stile. Il secondo volume contiene la ricerca della cifra ritrovata nelle opere di Shakespeare che dimostra definitivamente secondo l’autore la sua teoria ingegniosa. Ignatius Donnelly (1831-1901) politico e saggista americano, rimase anche noto per le sue teorie su Atlantide. shakespeare bacon crittografia criptography

wenige Anstreichungen, leicht bestoßen und papierbedingt gebräunt, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand - „Wissen ist Macht“ - dieses Francis Bacon (1561-1626) zugeschriebene Motto begleitet die neuzeitliche Wissenschaft auf ihrem Siegeszug und flößt heute mehr Angst als Bewunderung ein. Aber wieviel vorsichtiger hatte Bacon sich ausgedrückt: Als „Diener und Interpret“ nur, der „der Natur gehorcht, kann der Mensch sie beherrschen“. Bacon sah sich umgeben von Philosophen, die sich mit Worten der stummen Natur überlegen fühlten, aber ihr doch ausgeliefert waren, weil sie nicht bereit waren, ihr Alphabet zu entziffern; und von Alchimisten, die die Natur und ihre Zuschauer überlisteten, anstatt aufzuklären. Gegen beide setzte Bacon eine neue Philosophie im Dienste der materiellen Wohlfahrt der Menschheit, ein Ziel, das eine neue Einstellung der Menschen zur Natur und zu sich selbst verlangt: Der Mensch muß die Natur erforschen und sich selbst als Forscher begreifen. Bacon, der Jurist und Staatsmann, verstand sein Reformwerk auch als Wissenschaftspolitik und ließ nichts unversucht, neue Forschungsinstitutionen zu gründen. Der Autor geht diesen Absichten ebenso nach wie den Beziehungen zwischen Bacons Hauptwerk, der „Instauratio Magna“, und der Gesellschaftsutopie „Neu-Atlantis“ sowie Bacons Auseinandersetzung mit der Alchimie, Magie und Rhetorik der Renaissance, Themen, die auch heute wieder diskutiert werden.

brossura «Quel che mi affascina in Bacon - come del resto in Giacometti - è che i suoi quadri gridano presenza, in un modo assoluto. Una tela di Bacon è viva quanto la vita stessa, esiste e si rivolge a noi con una potenza e un fascino senza pari. Il problema autentico per un pittore consiste nel rappresentare la natura colma di una vita autonoma, di una concentrazione vitale che si riverberi sullo spettatore e conferisca all'opera una presenza reale più forte di quella che può avere, ad esempio, un albero o una sedia. Certo, per far questo, deforma. Ma un pittore come Bacon non deforma mai per vezzo, per cercare, ad esempio, il mostruoso. Bacon non è un espressionista e le deformazioni che fa subire alla figura umana non nascono neppure da una finalità politica o religiosa. Bacon non polemizza, non vuol provare nulla. Breton ha scritto: "La bellezza sarà convulsiva o non sarà". Così è per Bacon. Bacon ha capito che perché una figura esista in arte, la natura deve esser violentata. La verità profonda non si rivela che al di là del naturalismo. Cosa può esserci, d'altra parte, di più caotico del mondo in cui viviamo, di più disperante della nostra specie minacciata di estinzione? Ma Bacon non cerca di testimoniare tutto questo. Si limita a guardare il mondo così com'è, e non può non dipingere quella che è la nostra verità profonda: l'angoscia. Nulla in lui è confortevole: si è insediato sull'orlo del terribile, va direttamente al nodo della condizione umana. Mostrando l'uomo nella sua verità, si apre ineluttabilmente al tragico». (Dalla conversazione tra Jean Clay e Michel Leiris)

pp. (1), 35, (1) [Publisher's advertisement for a life of Thomas Gray, "by the same author"]. 4to. 260 x 210 mm. Old leather backed marbled boards binding, worn and broken at joints. XLib. Still a fairly clean, wide margined copy of this interesting work which was published over the space of a decade. This Second Edition was printed from the same type used for the first edition - Gaskell. First Editions of William Mason, 14n. William Mason (1725-1797) was an English poet, editor and gardener. Born in Hull, he studied at St John's College, Cambridge. After his ordination in 1754 he held a number of posts in the church. The English Garden is especially interesting as it uses famous English authors to illustrate his ideas of garden practice. A practical garden designer, Mason was also a great friend of the poet Thomas Gray. ** PRICE JUST REDUCED!! W144
