De Vulgari Eloquentia

Dante's Book of Exile

By: Marianne Shapiro

Written in 1303-05, when Dante was in political exile from his native Florence, De vulgari eloquentia addresses the problem of how to raise the Italian language to the status of Latin in the esteem of the literate public. It is the fullest and most important document concerning vernacular writing in the Middle Ages—indeed, the earliest work of literary criticism dealing with a vernacular language. Marianne Shapiro offers the most detailed discussion in English of De vulgari eloquentia, whose form and spirit reflect Dante's political unrest and alienation. Hers is the first work in any language to analyze and explain the meaning of the grammatical and rhetorical terminology that Dante used in his treatise. And because her translation—included here—is based on a thorough exegesis of that terminology, it will be recognized as definitive. Shapiro’s translation will be of special interest to medievalists and to serious readers of The Divine Comedy. In a later section, she considers the less precursors of Dante as a writer of the “Romance idiom” and their influence on him. Then she concentrates on the least studied aspects of the treatise in order to reveal its profound affiliations with late medieval grammatical investigations—it is possible to see in Dante “a grammarian beneath the poet.” Her conclusion summarizes the apparent textual contradictions and the significance. Thus, this book provides a thorough historical, philosophical, and rhetorical context for De vulgari eloquentia and a new English translation that is enriched by that scholarship.

Strategies to Avoid Common Errors

By: Javier Muñoz-Basols,Marianne David,Olga Núñez Piñeiro

‘Excellent book. The chapters put together and systematise a lot of material that is often taught in an anecdotal or haphazard sort of way, if at all. Students will learn a great deal from the book and have their confidence in using Spanish considerably boosted as a result.’ – Jonathan Thacker, Merton College, University of Oxford, UK ‘An invaluable, highly original and methodically sound approach to correcting and eliminating common, yet difficult-to-eliminate errors.’ – Manuel Delgado, Bucknell University, USA ‘The user-friendly format and page layout makes Speed Up Your Spanish a highly practical reference source for students and teachers.’– Ma Victoria García Serrano, University of Pennsylvania, USA False friends, idiomatic expressions, gender and capitalization are just some of the areas that cause confusion for students of Spanish. Learning how to avoid the common errors that arise repeatedly in these areas is an essential step for successful language learning. Speed Up Your Spanish is a unique and innovative resource that identifies and explains such errors, thereby enabling students of Spanish to learn from their mistakes while enhancing their understanding of the Spanish language.

MAMARAZZA. Edition en anglais

By: Marianne Sayn-Wittgenstein

Whenever the Princess shows up with her cameras, doors open, and she is greeted with respect and affection: "Mamarazza" -- as she is widely known -- is a welcome visitor at festivities and events of her friends and acquaintances in the world of art, economy and diplomacy. It's been fifty years now since the Princess set out to systematically capture her personal environment by taking photographs -- at weddings, anniversaries, art openings, the Salzburg Festival, concerts and motor races. Ever since there has been hardly a society event that did not become a topic for her camera. Whether partying with Spanish Crown Prince Juan Carlos or actor Sean Connery, or being aboard an official flight with former German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher, everybody shows respect for her, and everybody knows that she would never cross the bounds of confidentiality. The Princess's thousands and thousands of photographs, some of which were published in major fashion and lifestyle magazines, have been collected, dated and kept with the utmost care. In this way an exciting, unparalleled chronicle of the beautiful and the rich, the high society of five decades has been collected, which now has been published in a beautiful, impressive large-format book edition.
