Sommario/riassunto |
|
Sinclair Ross (1908-1996), best known for his canonical novel As for Me and My House (1941), and for such familiar short stories as "The Lamp at Noon" and "The Painted Door," is an elusive figure in Canadian literature. A master at portraying the hardships and harsh beauty of the Prairies during the Great Depression, Ross nevertheless received only modest attention from the public during his lifetime. His reluctance to give readings or interviews further contributed to this faint public perception of the man. In As for Sinclair Ross, David Stouck tells the story of a lonely childhood in rural Saskatchewan, of a long and unrewarding career in a bank, and of many failed attempts to be published and to find an audience. The book also tells the story of a man who fell in love with both men and women and who wrote from a position outside any single definition of gender and sexuality. Stouck's biography draws on archival records and on insights gathered during an acquaintance late in Ross's life to illuminate this difficult author, |

|
describing in detail the struggles of a gifted artist living in an inhospitable time and place. Stouck argues that when Ross was writing about prairie farmers and small towns, he wanted his readers to see the kind of society they were creating, to feel uncomfortable with religion as coercive rhetoric, prejudices based on race and ethnicity, and rigid notions of gender. As for Sinclair Ross is the story of a remarkable writer whose works continue to challenge us and are rightly considered classics of Canadian literature. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
A gripping and beautifully written narrative that reads like a novel, Fire in the City presents a compelling account of a key moment in the history of the Renaissance, illuminating the remarkable man who dominated the period, the charismatic Savonarola. Lauro Martines, whose decades of scholarship have made him one of the most admired historians of Renaissance Italy, here provides a remarkably fresh perspective on Girolamo Savonarola, the preacher and agitator who flamed like a comet through late fifteenth-century Florence. The Dominican friar has long been portrayed as a dour, puritanical |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book presents selected papers of the 6th International Symposium for Intelligent Transportation and Smart City (ITASC) held at Tongji University, Shanghai, on May 16 - 17, 2025. It investigates in detail aspects of intelligent transportation and smart city, mainly focusing on the green traffic and urban utility tunnels. Due to rapid development in the domain of intelligent transportation and smart city, there are many popular topics, such as the 2BMW system (bus, bike, metro, and walking), transportation safety and environment protection, urban utility design and application, and the application of BIM in the city design. It collects dozens of papers and lectures with high quality, including some authoritative scholars and most experienced engineers’ latest achievements, which provide guidance to those both in universities and entrepreneurs. |
