Giovanni Papini Knihy

Kaleidoskop sarkastických výpadů, ironických anekdot, filozofických meditací, grotesek, jež často ukazují pravdivější tvář vývoje společnosti, než seriózní úvahy.

Každý v sobě nosíme obraz Krista. Tento obraz je obrazem z Nazaretu, ale také je obrazem naším. Jsme to my, kdo tyto obrazy utváříme. Jako korále řadí autor jednotlivé epizody Ježíšova života. Historie, zprávy evangelistů, legendy, mýty, orginální myšlenky i paušální hodnocení vytvářejí v obraznosti autorově osobitý celek. Ježíš už nechodí po této zemi, ale jsou tu Jeho stopy.

Kniha o Dantovi, která se zabývá jeho životem, duší, dílem i názory na něj.

Not indexed or illustrated, this 1922 edition includes reflections on poetry and its profound impact. The author recalls how verses, often lengthy, allowed him to immerse himself in the beauty of the sea, city, and universe, without concern for the analytical scholars who dissect emotions. As a Tuscan, he learned the essence of poetry not through traditional figures like Virgil or Dante, but through the passionate invocations found in the Leaves of Grass. Even years later, he feels an emotional connection to pieces like Whispers of Heavenly Death and There Was a Child Went Forth. His journey continued as he read Whitman in English and explored his life and work through various American volumes. The author emphasizes that his reflections are not mere autobiography but a heartfelt tribute to Whitman, whom he regards not as an ordinary foreign poet but as a beloved elder brother. He wishes to convey his deep affection and present a faithful image of the poet's childlike yet grand soul.
