Brossura. Condition: new. Edited by Foletti I.English Text.Roma, 2013; paperback, pp. 192, b/w ill., cm 17x24.(I Libri di Viella. Arte). Peter Brown has described the position of holy bodies in the Early Christian period as a "place between Earth and Heaven." The principal aim of this book is to deal with precisely this intersection between two worlds expressed by the Dead, and in particular by their images and their faces.The first part of this book looks into the portrait and its function, and the reason for which Late Antiquity, following a custom it inherited from previous eras, covered itself with individual images of the deceased. As in previous eras, the portrait appears, above all, to be an attempt to express the individual in his or her entirety; the techniques and "instruments" perfected in the course of the the 3rd century, however, lead to divergent formal and conceptual results.The second question, answered more briefly, deals with the perception and representation of the dead body as a whole, defined by David Le Breton as "la souche identitaire de l'homme." The question asked is a fundamental one, since we are confronted with humanity itself after its passage to that which lies beyond: does the body become just a memory or does it preserve the real presence of the person who once existed.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Here is a multi-voiced narrative that will allow you to discover the reality, as well as the actions and thoughts, of young French people who had to, sometimes before the age of five, don the uniform and enter military schools whose equivalents do not exist in the United Kingdom. These "Enfants de troupe"" are now over 70 years old; their memories take us back to the 1960s and 1970s. Some pursued a military career, others avoided it; some felt abandoned by their parents; all are grateful for the education they received. The title of the book, however, could be misleading: it is not the military institution that is being glorified here - this is not a panegyric - but rather the individual journeys of students educated and trained within a particular system blending discipline and camaraderie. Beyond an apparent mix of memories, moments of life, and various pieces of information, there is above all the unbroken thread of adolescence and friendship, continuing to endure nowadays in these institutions.
