The Reception of Plutarch's Lives in Fifteenth-century Italy

By: Marianne Pade

Plutarch's Lives of great Greek and Roman public figures are among the central texts of European culture. Like most Greek authors Plutarch had been virtually unknown in Western Europe during the Middle Ages, but when Renaissance humanists rekindled interest in Greek language and culture, he became one of the most widely read authors of the period. Marianne Pade discusses the many Latin translations of the Lives produced during the fifteenth century, examines their diffusion in manuscripts and printed books and shows how Plutarch came to influence fifteenth-century Italian culture. The overwhelming interest in the Lives can be explained by studying the way Classical Antiquity was used for ideological purposes in Renaissance Italy. To a great extent the historical effects of the biographies reflect the ideologies of the environments in which they were translated and read. The purpose of the biographies, and often of the forewords of the translations as well, was to evoke or create a city's national myths or to promote a patron or the city itself. The second volume contains an edition of all the letters of dedication and a catalogue of the preserved manuscripts.

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.

Margaret Mitchell & John Marsh

The Love Story Behind Gone With the Wind

By: Marianne Walker

Based on almost 200 previously unpublished letters and extensive interviews with their closest associates, Walker's biography of Margaret Mitchell and her husband, John Marsh, offers a new look into a devoted marriage and fascinating partnership that ultimately created a Pulitzer Prize–winning novel. This edition of Walker's biography celebrates the seventy-fifth anniversary of the publication of Gone With the Wind in 1936. In lively extracts from their letters to family and friends, John and Margaret, who also went by Peggy, describe the stormy years of their courtship, their bohemian lifestyle as a young married couple, the arduous but fulfilling years when Peggy was writing her famous novel, the thrill of its acceptance for publication and its literary success, and the excitement of the making of the movie. In telling the private side of this twenty-four-year marriage, author Marianne Walker reveals a long-suspected truth: Gone With the Wind might have never been written were it not for John Marsh. He was Peggy's best friend and constant champion, and he became her editor, proofreader, researcher, business manager, and the inspiration and motivation behind her writing. At every point, including the turbulent years of Mitchell's first marriage to Red Upshaw, it was John who provided the intellectual stimulation, emotional support, and editorial insights that allowed Peggy to channel her talents into the creation of her astounding Civil War epic. From years of meticulous research, Marianne Walker details the intimate and moving love story between a husband and wife, and between a writer and her editor.
