Laura Rossi

In seguito al tragico suicidio di una paziente e alla burrascosa separazione dal suo compagno, la psichiatra Aria De Luca decide di prendersi un periodo di congedo dal lavoro. Ma quando una giovane donna viene trovata a vagare mezza nuda in piena notte per le strade di Milano e il commissario Pietro Scalia la convoca per una consulenza sul campo, Aria sente di essere pronta a tornare al lavoro. Forse aiutare quella ragazza spaventata e in stato confusionale a recuperare la memoria è il modo per placare i suoi sensi di colpa e rituffarsi nella vita di tutti i giorni, allontanando il ricordo della relazione tossica con Gabriele, suo ex marito e mentore. Il passato, però, è un fantasma tanto elusivo quanto pericoloso da risvegliare, e più Aria si avvicina alla verità sulla sua assistita, più rimane invischiata nella rete di manipolazione e inganni di un uomo misterioso e senza scrupoli, che si muove nell’ombra.

Theocritus

This book is the first full-scale commentary on the epigrams ascribed to Theocritus since Gow's commented edition of 1950 and the first to methodically approach epigram as a literary genre attempting to bridge the gap between epigraphy and philological studies. The introductory chapters trace the history of the various epigrammatic genres and typologies within which the Theocritean epigrams can be inserted, focusing on both the literary and epigraphic conventions followed and respected by the epigrammatists. The commentary discusses in detail the text (recently established by Gallavotti, with some slight variations), with an emphasis on the dual contribution of literary and epigraphic evidence for a correct understanding of the questions related to content and the linguistic problems presented by the poems. The final chapters deal with the question of the authenticity of the epigrams and try to reconstruct how and when they were collected in the 'book' transmitted by the bucolic manuscripts and then entered the anthology.
