February 1987Werkausgabe in sechs Bänden in der edition suhrkamp
Gesamte Werkausgabe
by James Joyce
Band 1: »Und zu allererst lese man die Dubliner. Es ist die einzige Möglichkeit, das Werk eines der größten Schriftsteller zu verstehen.« T.S. Eliot Band 2: In einem Anflug von Verzweiflung, weil er seine Manuskripte nirgends unterbringen konnte, warf Joyce 1911, so will es die Legende, den gesamten Text ins Feuer, aus dem seine Schwester 383 Seiten rettete. Diese Seiten wurden 1944 unter dem Titel »Stephen Hero, Stephen der Held«, veröffentlicht. Sie umfassen die Jahre des jungen Joyce, der sich Stephen Dedalus nannte, am University College in Dublin. Im Herbst 1907 begann Joyce den Roman umzuarbeiten, d. h. neu zu schreiben. Aus dem weitschweifigen Text von Stephen Hero wurde die komprimierte, komplexe Textur des »Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man«. Die für den »Ulysses« später so zentrale Leitmotivtechnik wurde hier zum ersten Mal erprobt. Band 3: Die 1975 im Rahmen der Frankfurter Joyce-Ausgabe zuerst erschienene neue »Ulysses«-Übertragung von Hans Wollschläger - »die wortmächtigste und wortreichste Übertragung in der deutschen Übersetzungsgeschichte«, so die »Süddeutsche Zeitung« - konnte die Ergebnisse von 50 Jahren Joyce-Forschung berücksichtigen, die vieles dazu beigetragen hat, die Fehler zu beseitigen, die Undurchsichtigkeiten zu lichten und die sogenannten dunklen Stellen weitgehend zu klären. Diese Übersetzung unterscheidet sich auch insofern von den bisherigen Originalausgaben und Übersetzungen in andere Sprachen, als zahlreiche Passagen, insbesondere des letzten und vorletzten Kapitels, die aufgrund von Irrtümern der Drucker nicht einbezogen wurden, erstmals in den Werkzusammenhang des »Ulysses« eingebracht worden sind.Band 4: Dieser Band enthält die »Aufsätze«, das Theaterstück »Verbannte«, die Prosaskizze »Giacomo Joyce« und die sogenannten »Epiphanien«. Die Auswahl der »Aufsätze« - Essays, Vorträge, Rezensionen - umfaßt das Wesentliche. Neben wichtigen früheren Arbeiten wie »Drama und Leben (1900), »Ibsens neues Drama« (1900) und »Der Tag des Pöbels« (1901) stehen die Notate zur Ästhetik aus Paris und Pola, die Triestiner Vorträge über irische Kultur und Politik, über Blake und Defoe, und die irischen Reiseberichte, die Joyce 1912 für den »Piccolo della Sera« schrieb. Band 5: Dieser Band enthält alle in Buchform erschienenen Gedichte: die Sammlungen »Kammermusik« (1907) und »Pöme Penysstück« (1927); die »Verstreuten Gedichte«, darunter die »Fragmentarische Jugendlyrik (1900-1904); die Verssatiren »Das heilige Offizium« und »Gas von einem Brenner«, die »Gelegenheitsverse« (1902-1937). Richard Ellmann vermerkt in seiner umfassenden Joyce-Biographie, daß sich Joyce als »junger Poet« selbst nicht im klaren war über seine Gedichte. Aufgenommen wurde in diesen Band außerdem das einzige übersetzte Kapitel aus »Finnegans Wake«, »Anna Livia Plurabelle«, im Originaltext und in zwei Übertragungen, der von Wolfgang Hildesheimer und der von Hans Wollschläger.Band 6: »Finnegans Wake«, das »schwierigste Buch des Jahrhunderts«, gilt aufgrund seiner »verwirrenden Sprache« und seiner »Verdichtungen« als unübersetzbar. Mit dem nun vorliegenden kompletten englischen Text von »Finnegans Wake«, können diese Beurteilungen einer erneuten Prüfung unterzogen werden, der Leser kann an jenem – wie Anthony Burgess es nannte - »Puzzle« mitarbeiten. Textgrundlage des vorliegenden Bandes ist die 1975 bei Faber & Faber erschienene Ausgabe, die bis zum Manuskript zurückgeht und Joyce' Korrekturen berücksichtigt.

Momenti trascurabili Vol. 3 (Negligible Moments Vol. 3)
by Francesco Piccolo
What if in life there were no negligible moments? From the hopelessly mismatched socks to the fortune teller who predicts a new love for your wife, by now we know the fun of living every instant (even the ones we would rather forget). And we will never get tired of finding that fun all over again. After the bestsellers Moments of Negligible Happiness and Moments of Negligible Unhappiness, Francesco Piccolo is back with another collection of humorous snapshots that reveal the preciousness of every little fragment of our daily life. The perfect quiet of your breakfast spoiled by the bad mood of your teenager daughter, and the sense of missing you feel having breakfast alone in a hotel. Falling in love with a girl only because she lives in your own building. The day you understand, for the first time, that having fun on New Year’s Eve is not mandatory. The joy to watch a movie with your son – even if it is Transformers 4 – and the instant when, while you are trying to explain him what a phone box is, you realize you are getting old. There is something, in the quality of Piccolo’s gaze, that expands the time of our days, while lending us its lightness and vitality. Until we ask ourselves if all of this is really so negligible. «Every single gesture, the flavors, the air, the weather, the fabric, the street, the person next to you, the scent, the view, the wind, the door, the smile. Everything, everything. Life no longer ends, if you can understand every single moment in one day». «When you are on the street and you are disheartened because you don’t know exactly where to go, and at a crossroads appears that wonderful sign that says: all routes».

LETTERA A MIO FIGLIO SULLA FELICITÀ
by Sergio Bambaren
Per anni, Sergio Bambarén ha girato il mondo in cerca di una serenità all'apparenza irraggiungibile, spinto dal vento irrequieto del suo animo. Poi, proprio quando crede di aver finalmente conquistato l'equilibrio da sempre desiderato, ecco che arriva un figlio a sconvolgere ogni sua certezza. Solo stringendo tra le braccia il piccolo Daniel per la prima volta, Sergio si rende conto di non aver mai nemmeno immaginato le straordinarie implicazioni della paternità. Sopraffatto dalle emozioni, decide di prendere carta e penna per scrivere una lunga lettera al figlio. Una lettera in cui possano trovare sfogo tutte le parole che gli affollano la mente. Così, Sergio si mette completamente a nudo, raccontando pagine della sua esistenza che non ha mai condiviso con nessuno. Parla della sua infanzia in Perù, del primo amore, della passione per il mare. Svela i suoi sogni più intimi, le ambizioni più nascoste, le speranze più segrete. Ma non solo. Con lucidità e onestà, rievoca le paure, gli errori, le debolezze e le lezioni imparate a caro prezzo sulla propria pelle. Rimanendo fedele allo stile semplice e poetico che lo ha reso celebre, l'autore de "Il delfino" parla per la prima volta della meravigliosa esperienza che gli ha cambiato la vita, regalandoci un messaggio d'amore intenso e dolcissimo, che va dritto al cuore.

Society & culture: generalMay 2020Progress
by Aldo Schiavone
The twentieth century saw a faster and more radical transformation of the material and cultural conditions of life than any previous century in the history of the human species. It was also the first century that saw huge masses of women and men in every part of the planet become protagonists of their own destiny. But it was also the century which, particularly in its last two decades – with an increasing tendency, transmitted with even greater force to the following century – saw the crumbling of the idea that human history had a meaning and a direction, and that it had a general tendency to improve from generation to generation. That is to say, it destroyed the idea of progress, hitherto a banner of modernity (the ancient world had never conceived of anything similar, being imprisoned in a closed and limited representation of time and historicity). And this at the very time when it should have been celebrating its triumph. How was it possible for this to happen? What lies behind this seeming paradox? And what does it tell us about the difficulty of the period through which we are passing? What future does it suggest? This book tries to answer these questions by standing at the crossroads between different disciplines, in a perspective of the social history of ideas: philosophy, science, politics, anthropology, material culture. But it is also intended as a modest suggestion that may help us rediscover a sense of our history – one that is not linearly optimistic or providentialistic, but still conscious of the extraordinary potential of the human species, at this point in its development.
