☀️ Taormina Award: Ian McEwan tra le voci più importanti della narrativa contemporanea grazie alla profondità delle sue opere che dipingono a tinte cupe ma lucide tutte le inquietudine dell’uomo moderno. Ian McEwan WORKS: novel Amsterdam (1998), a social satire influenced by the early works of Evelyn Waugh, won the Booker Prize in 1998. Atonement (2001; film 2007) traces over six decades the consequences of a lie told in the 1930s.
The influence of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway (1925) is evident in Saturday (2005), a vivid depiction of London on February 15, 2003, a day of mass demonstrations against the incipient war in Iraq. On Chesil Beach (2007; film 2017) describes the awkwardness felt by two virgins on their wedding night. Climate change is the subject of McEwan’s satirical novel Solar (2010). Sweet Tooth (2012) is the Cold War-era tale of a young woman recruited by MI5 to secretly channel funding to writers whose work reflected Western values. The Children Act (2014; film 2017) centres on a judge who must rule on the medical treatment of a teenage Jehovah’s Witness whose parents object to him receiving a blood transfusion on the basis of their religious beliefs. Drawing inspiration from Hamlet, McEwan next wrote Nutshell (2016), which is narrated by a fetus whose adulterous mother plots with her lover to kill the baby’s father. - McEwan also wrote for tv radio, and film, including The Imitation Game (1980), The Ploughman’s Lunch (1983), Last Day of Summer (1984), The Good Son (1993). Several of his screenplays were adapted from his novels and short stories. In addition, McEwan wrote librettos for a pacifist oratorio, Or Shall We Die? (first performed 1982; published and recorded 1983), and an opera, For You (first performed and published 2008), both with composer Michael Berkeley. In 2000 McEwan was created Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). Sources:The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica
Tra i suoi libri: Chesil Beach - Il segreto di una notte - da cui il film dello scorso anno candidato a numerosi oscar.
☀️ Nella sez TAOBUK ARTE: dipinti di Leto a quelli di Lojacono, da Catti a Cortegiani, la collezione traccia un racconto visivo ricco di suggestioni: la Sicilia dei pescatori e quella dei contadini che raccolgono le olive, i figli dei poveri e i merletti delle donne benestanti.
La mostra si compone di 40 dipinti, tenuti insieme dalle parole degli stessi siciliani, frammenti di lingua siciliana e di vita.
