La drammaturgia di impegno sociale di Saverio La Ruina, caratterizzata dalla peculiare ritrosia dei suoi personaggi e da una narrazione lieve e pudica, ha reso il drammaturgo, regista e attore uno dei nomi più noti della scena italiana contemporanea. Il volume si concentra sulla produzione teatrale più recente di La Ruina, la cui forza autoriale si è imposta con i monologhi in dialetto calabro-lucano Dissonorata e La Borto, che affrontano il tema della violenza di genere e dell'aborto, con Italianesi, assolo tragico a sfondo storico sull'identità migrante, con Polvere. Dialogo tra uomo e donna, indagine tagliente sulla violenza psicologica e verbale nel rapporto di coppia, e con il recentissimo Masculu e fiammina in cui l'autore torna al monologo per affrontare il tema dell'omosessualità. Con la sua sola, potente presenza scenica La Ruina si dimostra capace di una ricerca antropologica minuziosa, in grado di restituire - con precisione quasi calligrafica - il dolore dei suoi personaggi e la ferita aperta del loro Sé lacerato. Questa prima monografia critica sull'autore si propone di indagarne, oltre all'impegno «politico», anche la lingua e lo stile, secondo due direttive di ricerca parallele e strettamente intrecciate: l'indagine tematica sulll'«identità sotto chiave» che, con declinazioni diverse, accomuna i protagonisti delle sue pièce, e l'analisi testuale, uno strumento indispensabile - come troppo spesso si dimentica - alla decifrazione di ogni poetica. Autori: Angela Albanese.

Captured throughout a five years working process, the Istanbul artist Efe Isildaksoy photographed numerous ancient sites and monuments across Turkey in a unique three-dimensional photo technique. A collection of his photographs is now self-published and offers a stunning visual exploration of the rich Anatolian cultural heritage. Reflecting attributes of Lycian, Classical, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman settlements. The 3D photo book Heritage of Anatolia provides a new perspective on the greatest places of antiquity: the thousands of years old remains and the historical importance of past civilizations in this region are visualized in exceptional three-dimensional photographs, among them famous international tourist attractions and UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Ephesus, Pergamon, Troy, Cappadocia, and Mount Nemrut. Located foremost in the context of Lycian, Classical, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine eras, the archaeological finds at the photographed sites are dated back to a time scale ranging from approx. 7th Millennium BC to 5th century AD. Based on a selection of 56 remarkable archaeological complexes, the book contains 128 full-page color prints, a map and an index of the sites. More than 1300 additional 3D photos on DVD and a set of two 3D glasses are attached inside the book to guarantee full reading enjoyment. Focusing exclusively on the visual exploration of these outstanding ruins and archeological excavations, the three-dimensional photographs allow a wealth of detail not often found in other sources. The remains of monumental temples, colossal theatres, extensive city walls and fortifications, public houses and baths, tombs and sarcophagi, elaborate sculptures, ornamentations and inscriptions can be perceived in an exceptional vivid way. The 3D photographs generate a spatial depth that practically draws the viewer into the atmosphere of past times, and instantly captures the reader's fascination. Presented in such an impressive way, the visualized information can be studied with greater accuracy and leaves a thrilling impact on the viewer's comprehension. For those passionate for the ancient, for those looking for inspiration, for those curious about evolution, for students or the layman, as well as for advanced readers with a background in archaeology, architecture, cultural studies, history, Asia Minor, Middle East or other fields of study, Heritage of Anatolia is an ideal source for getting involved with the past and acquiring knowledge about these exceptional sites, artefacts and civilizations.

New English Original cloth bdg. In publisher's special box. Oblong large 4to. (47 x 34 cm). In English. 196 p., 95 color plts, 37 ills. A unique complex of archaeological material survives from Commagene in the first century BC. It derives from a local king, Antiochos I, and is of great interest in itself and for the study of ancient religion and art. The material consists of a large body of monumental sculpture, statues and reliefs and voluminous inscriptions about the king and his gods. The monuments are unique in their quantity, and in being precisely dated and identified. Together the texts and images provide an unrivalled opportunity for getting close to the quality and texture of an ancient cult. Antiochos I of Commagene (c. 69-36 BC) belonged at the tail-end of Hellenistic monarchy and the beginning of Roman rule in Syria and Eastern Anatolia. The scholarly text by R.R.R. Smith describes the geography and political history of Antiochos kingdom, and looks at the archaeology of his sanctuaries and his royal cult as known from inscriptions. Exquisite photography by Ahmet Ertug concentrates on some of the best preserved sculpture from two sites, Nemrud Dag and Arsameia and expresses in a new way the distinctive character and impact of these extraordinary monuments. Roman mosaics from Zeugma on the Euphrates are also included in the book. The large picture mosaics discovered in the Zeugma houses during the rescue excavations of the 1990s are sensational. They continue the tradition of Hellenistic mosaic floors with pictorial scenes of mythology, allegory, and marine fantasy, and constitute a missing link in the second century AD between picture mosaics of the later Hellenistic period and of Late Antiquity. The photography of Ahmet Ertug in this beautifully printed book will bring readers into a spectacular and less familiar landscape of the ancient world, one that felt itself already in Antiquity to be perched at the bridgehead between West and East. The photographs in the book were printed with special inks, and all color-separation and proofing was done at the digital darkroom of Ahmet Ertug. The book is 34 x 47cms in landscape format, and has 196 pages, 95 color plates and 37 figures. Printed in Germany, hardbound in Switzerland with exquisite cloth, presented in slipcase.
