This major work of academic reference provides a comprehensive overview of the development of western political thought during the European Enlightenment. Written by a distinguished team of international contributors, this Cambridge History is the latest in a sequence of volumes that is now firmly established as the principal reference source for the history of political thought. Every major theme in eighteenth-century political thought is covered in a series of essays at once scholarly and accessible, and the essays are complemented by extensive guides for further reading, and brief biographical notes of the major characters in the text, including Rousseau, Montesquieu and David Hume. Of interest and relevance to students and scholars of politics and history at all levels from beginning undergraduate upwards, this volume chronicles one of the most exciting and rewarding of all periods in the development of western thinking about politics, man (and increasingly woman), and society.

The Cambridge history of eighteenth-century political thought

The paper focuses on Carlo Levi’s reportages from India (1957), in order to outline how the peculiar mixture of narrative and essay writing conveys these texts into the genre of Travel literature, as well as to reconsider a work so easily forgotten by field studies. A first recognition on the topic shows how little literature has considered the timeframe of this journey up to recent times: due to the uncertain date marked on the only Indian letter sent by Levi to his wife, critics have agreed to range it between several months and a year. The bias is subsequently taken into account as the prism to approach these texts through: in fact, despite the deliberate attempt at sketching achrony for poetical purposes, micro and macrotextual features – with an emphasis on the descriptions of wintertime – allow to place these texts in time, thus confirming the hybrid features of these proses. Through rhetorical and textual analysis, then, the paper discusses the reportages from a theoretical perspective.

L'India d'inverno di Carlo Levi : Quesiti per una prosa in viaggio

L’Orologio (1950) di Carlo Levi e stato spesso descritto come un romanzo d’impegno politico. Tuttavia, nell’immortalare un periodo di profonda trasformazione individuale e collettiva, Levi rifugge una rappresentazione mimetica del dato storico, realizzando un potente affresco espressionista. Lo svolgimento narrativo del romanzo e fortemente imperniato su una presenza diffusa di elementi onirici e magici: per penetrare la complessita di quest’opera e necessario quindi esplorare tale aspetto fondamentale della scrittura leviana. Il presente articolo analizza L’Orologio nei termini di un racconto di viaggio all’interno della coscienza fratturata di un paese, laddove viaggio, sogno e magia si rivelano misure complementari di un percorso conoscitivo di ricostruzione morale privato e collettivo insieme.
