Life of Chopin

Life of Chopin by Franz Liszt Frédéric François Chopin was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era who wrote primarily for solo piano. He has maintained worldwide renown as a leading musician of his era, one whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation."Chopin was born Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin in the Duchy of Warsaw and grew up in Warsaw, which in 1815 became part of Congress Poland. A child prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed his earlier works in Warsaw before leaving Poland at the age of 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising. At 21, he settled in Paris. Thereafter-in the last 18 years of his life-he gave only 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon. He supported himself by selling his compositions and by giving piano lessons, for which he was in high demand. Chopin formed a friendship with Franz Liszt and was admired by many of his other musical contemporaries (including Robert Schumann).After a fa

Storie al femminile

May 21, 2017

Libretto composto da sei racconti di tre autrici: Kate Chopin, Edith Wharton, Katherine Mansfield.
Si sente dire spesso che i racconti sono più difficili da scrivere dei romanzi.
Io penso in realtà che semplicemente la maggioranza degli scrittori sia più abituata a scrivere romanzi e che il problema risieda nel fatto che si tende a considerare il racconto come un "genere di serie B", come un romanzo mutilato.
In realtà i due tipi di prosa hanno caratteristiche molto diverse e di conseguenza richiedono impostazioni e strutture diverse.
Infatti l'unica che si salva qua dentro è Katherine Mansfield, "specializzata" in racconti; di Edith Warthon salvo solo una metafora intelligente e di Kate Chopin nulla.

(voti da 0 a 5 stelle)

Racconti di Kate Chopin: tutti banali sia nella trama che nello stile.
Unica nota positiva: hanno fatto schizzare la mia autostima alle stelle; mi sono sentita una grande scrittrice di racconti!
Il bambino di Désirée: 0,5
Una notte in Acadia: 0,5
Il sogno di un'ora: 1. Più "compiuto" rispetto agli altri due.

The Awakening (Chopin novel)

1899 American novel by Kate Chopin

The Awakening is a novel by Kate Chopin, first published on 22 April 1899. Set in New Orleans and on the Louisiana Gulf coast at the end of the 19th century, the plot centers on Edna Pontellier and her struggle between her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century American South. It is one of the earlier American novels that focuses on women's issues utilizing narrative techniques. It is also widely seen as a landmark work of early feminism, generating a mixed reaction from contemporary readers and critics.

The novel's blend of realistic narrative, incisive social commentary, and psychological complexity makes The Awakening a precursor of American modernist literature; it prefigures the works of American novelists such as William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway and echoes the works of contemporaries such as Edith Wharton and Henry James. It can also be considered among the first Southern works in a tradition that would culminate
