Abstract: Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) was a British poet, writer and playwright of the Victorian era. Active in the aesthetic circle, romantic and then decadent, he met Oscar Wilde and other famous intellectuals and artists of the same environment, attending the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and becoming a friend of the poet, artist and initiate Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Eccentric personality, with a strong taste for artistic provocation, inspired by writers such as the Marquis de Sade, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Charles Baudelaire, his poetry was very controversial, due to its themes (sadomasochism, suicide, lesbianism, irreligiosity); his lyrics are also characterized by original versification solutions, by the cult of paganism and the idealized Middle Ages, and of absolute freedom. From 1903 to 1909 he was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature. With Alfred Edward Housman, Robert Browning, Alfred Tennyson, Ernest Dowson and William Butler Yeats, he is considered one of the most representative lyric poets of Victorian literature. He died in Putney (London) on April 10, 1909. Swinburne's literary output is vast and includes poems, plays, songs, novels, short stories and essays on literary criticism. Songs before Sunrise, first published in London in 1871 and dedicated to the Italian revolutionary and Freemason Giuseppe Mazzini, is one of Swinburne's finest collections of poetry. Based on his pagan and pantheistic ideals and on the revolutionary spirit of that time, it is a devoted and warm homage to Italy and the Mediterranean, with references to ancient mythology and the national independence of peoples.

#199302 Storia Contemporanea
Milano, Costa & Nolan 2000, cm.15x23, pp.192, brossura cop.fig. Coll.Riscontri. Gli "anni di piombo" sono un periodo oscuro della storia italiana. Adriano e Cingolani ricostruiscono cinque delitti rimasti irrisolti e impuniti: gli omicidi di Fausto e laio, Mauro Brutto, Roberto Cavallaro e Valerio Verbano, conducendo un'indagine serrata attraverso l'esame delle carte processuali, delle cronache dell'epoca, con interviste a familiari e amici delle vittime, periti e magistrati. Gli autori riportano alla luce particolari ed elementi controversi e oscuri, e individuando nessi tra fenomeni in apparenza slegati, quali il terrorismo, i traffici di droga e armi, i sequestri di persona, la criminalità organizzata.
