Correspondences and Parallels in European Literature. E-book. Formato EPUB Alina J. Di Mattia - Divulgo, 2025 -
Correspondences and Parallels in European Literature, by Italian journalist and writer Alina J. Di Mattia, an expert in seventeenth-century history and culture, offers a compelling comparative study of ten emblematic author pairs from the European literary tradition. Moving in reverse chronological order—from the twentieth century back to the origins of literature—the volume explores enduring themes that have shaped European thought: inner journeys and transformation, justice and oppression, beauty and transience, solitude and hope. Though rooted in their respective historical contexts, the works analyzed reveal a striking sense of contemporaneity and a shared engagement with the complexities of human experience. Each chapter stages a dialogue between two writers—separated by time and geography, yet united by profound thematic affinities.By examining differences in style, poetics, and worldview, the book demonstrates that European literature is not a mosaic of isolated traditions, but a living system forged through intersections, reinterpretations, and continuous exchange.The aim is to offer readers a symbolic map of European literary thought—one that both interrogates the present and renews a vital connection with the past.
Jules MazarinThe Diplomatic Genius of Louis XIV’s Era. E-book. Formato EPUB Alina J Di Mattia - Divulgo, 2024 -
An enthralling odyssey through the splendor and turbulence of 17th-century Europe, this book uncovers the extraordinary life and legacy of Cardinal Jules Raymond Mazarin—one of the most controversial, enigmatic, and influential figures of his age. Four centuries after the passing of the celebrated Italo-French statesman, this illuminating work reexamines his unparalleled rise to power, tracing his journey from the humble origins of an Italian hinterland fief to the grandiose courts of Rome and his pinnacle as the trusted prime minister to King Louis XIV of France.Rich in meticulously researched detail, the author ventures beyond mere biography to reveal the vibrant cultural and social contexts that shaped Mazarin's world. Through a fresh lens, this critical study dismantles misconceptions and sheds light on his political genius, personal tribulations, and the contradictions of a man who embodied the very spirit of the Baroque era.Far more than a portrait of a statesman, this book is an invitation to explore a dazzling epoch where ambition, intrigue, and art converged to forge the foundations of modern Europe. A must-read for students, researchers, and history enthusiasts alike, it captures Mazarin as he truly was—a visionary, a survivor, and a man of indelible complexity.Alina J.

Fare storia nel territorioLa public history e la cultura partecipativa in Abruzzo. E-book. Formato EPUB Alina Di Mattia - Divulgo, 2024 -
Il libro analizza il complesso rapporto che intercorre tra la storia, la sua narrazione e percezione pubblica in un'era di flusso continuo di informazioni, che rischia di compromettere la memoria storica consapevole e un rinnovato senso di appartenenza.Con un approccio critico, l'autrice traccia l'evoluzione degli spazi museali in Italia, a partire dagli anni Novanta e dalla Legge Ronchey. Particolare attenzione è riservata alle riforme legislative che hanno incoraggiato la collaborazione tra settore pubblico e privato, e trasformato i luoghi di conservazione della cultura in ambienti non più statici e polverosi, ma dinamici e partecipativi in cui la storia si anima.Il testo presenta la Casa Museo Mazzarino sita a Pescina, in Abruzzo, come esempio di storia pubblica applicata localmente, le cui attività hanno permesso di rileggere sotto una nuova luce l'operato del cardinale Giulio Raimondo Mazzarino, oscurato da una campagna diffamatoria durata quattro secoli. L'autrice conclude la sua analisi sottolineando l'importanza dell'impegno congiunto delle istituzioni e delle comunità nella tutela e valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale, affinché la storia resti una risorsa accessibile a tutti.Una lettura che si configura come manifesto per chi crede nel potenziale della public history nel riscrivere storie misconosciute o distorte.Alina Di Mattia è una giornalista e scrittrice italiana.
