La sua vita fu agitatissima, piena di trionfi e di dolori. Scacciato dal padre, trova protezione nel principe di Conca; per il ratto d´una fanciulla patisce il carcere; liberato, vi ritorna per aver falsificato alcune carte a favore di un amico; riuscito a fuggire si reca a Roma dove diviene gentiluomo del cardinale Aldobrandini; visita Ravenna; si reca a Torino nel 1608, è nominato da Carlo Emanuele I segretario di corte e cavaliere dei SS. Maurizio e Lazzaro; assalito da GASPARE MURTOLA, ingaggia con lui una fierissima polemica che produce la Murtoleide e la Marineide e finisce con un colpo di pistola; accusato dal duca come autore di una satira contro di lui intitolata la Cuccagna, viene imprigionato; principi, re e regine...
ellauri045.html on line 804: Justice is one primary virtue, of course, the balance and respect in society so characteristic of Switzerland-well, I suppose not always, and not for every single immigrant, and until 1971 not for every single woman voter; but usually. Temperance is another, the balance in a soul, controlling desire. Courage is the third. What person could flourish if like Oblomov he stayed in bed out of uncontrolled fear, or out of ennui, an aristocratic version of cowardice? Prudence is the executive virtue, as St. Thomas Aquinas called it-know-how, savoir faire, self-interest. It rounds out the four virtues most admired in the tough little cities or tougher big empires of the classical Mediterranean. The Romans called the four of justice, temperance, courage, and prudence the "cardinal" virtues, on which a society of warriors or orators or courtiers hinged (cardo, hinge). The Christians called them, not entirely in contempt, "pagan."

Il y a plusieurs ecclésiastiques importants dans ce roman : Don Abbondio[4],[5], Saint Abbondio est le saint patron de la ville de Côme, le cardinal Borromée canonisé au xviie siècle, cité dans l'ouvrage et personnage ayant réellement existé, le père Cristoforo brûlant d'humilité chrétienne et tendu vers le bien.

ellauri192.html on line 273: There are great, canonic names on the Nobel list, choices on which common sense and passionate alertness concur. I have mentioned Yeats. We find Anatole France, Kipling, Shaw, Thomas Mann, Andre Gide, T. S. Eliot, Pasternak, Faulkner, Hemingway, Seferis, Montale, Beckett and Solzhenitsyn (the last, I would guess, a titan among men even more, perhaps, than among writers; what I mean by this is he was tall but not much of a novelist). But place the two lists next to each other, and the cardinal truth springs to view: during these past 83 years, the award of the Nobel Prize in Literature has scored more misses than hits. With eminent exceptions, it is the uncrowned who are sovereign.
