SHAKESPEARE’S NET: An awakening of Conscience through the plays
by Eduardo Ciampi (Ed. Del Giano - 2005)
Know yourselves through the plays of William Shakespeare: this is the ambitious programme of the present study. Taking into consideration the complete dramatic production of the British poet - through a traditional perspective - the author offers the reader plenty of grounds to reflect, wishing an awakening of Conscience, that is to say, a real process of conversion. Made up with 380 textual quotations, commented and set in theme chapters - enriched by a lot of notes reporting passages from studies of the main experts of Tradition in our time (R. Guénon, A. Coomaraswamy, S. H. Nasr, T. Burchardt, T. Merton, M. Lings etc.) - the present essay suggests an inner path. Though the interpretation of the plays follows the main aspects of the Christian ethic, nevertheless references to the so called Philosophia Perennis, have not been neglected. A deep ecumenism is subtended - like a sort of ‘Net’ - to this study, so that the readers could be captured by it whatever traditional religion they belong to.

It’s
a short story, readable in a pair of hours, but full of intuitive discoveries
which give the reader the possibility to make poignant considerations about the
ultimate meaning of human existence.
A
boy’s adolescence reborn on the school desks during the Maths lessons - in a
sort of Pythagorean initiation - leads the reader to an enigma to solve in a
Cathedral: an exciting spiritual/mathematics ‘detect-ive’ story, where the
reader is called to join its external realities to the inner essence. A path to
be covered also with the help of reason that, when led by innocent curiosity, is
able to understand the Symbol and come back to the Archetype.

the author: Doctor in agronomy, fond of
Maths,Geometry and Pythagorean studies.

ISLAMIC
TERRORISM IN ITALY: TRUTH AND FAKE
by Carlo Corbucci (GEA - 2006) 3rd ed. ©
Strange
cases of Islamic terrorism, recently proved untrue by the Italian Court of
Justice, faced by an Italian lawyer in 2001/2 (just a few months before the
Italian government decided to send military
divisions to Iraq). Through the first hand experience of the author, it’s
drawn a disquieting hypothesis of global plot. In this far-sighted essay
Corbucci has been able to pass from the judiciary news to the traditional
reflection, throwing light on the terrible contradictions of our contemporary
world.
