Una delle prime donne autrici, Giuliana di Norwich ha prodotto in Revelations of Divine Love un'opera notevole di intuizione rivelatrice, che si colloca accanto a The Cloud of Unknowing e Piers Plowman come un classico della letteratura religiosa medievale. Questa edizione Penguin Classics è tradotta dall'inglese medio da Elizabeth Spearing, con un'introduzione e note di AC Spearing. Dopo aver pregato fervidamente per una maggiore comprensione della passione di Cristo, Giuliana di Norwich, un'anacoreta e mistica del XIV secolo, ha sperimentato una serie di rivelazioni divine. Attraverso queste ''mostrazioni'', le sofferenze di Cristo le sono state rivelate con straordinaria intensità, ma ha anche ricevuto la certezza dell'amore incrollabile di Dio per l'uomo e della sua infinita capacità di perdono. Scritte in un vigoroso volgare inglese, le Rivelazioni sono una delle opere più originali del misticismo medievale e hanno avuto un'influenza duratura sul pensiero cristiano. Questa edizione delle Rivelazioni contiene sia il testo breve, che è principalmente un resoconto delle ''manifestazioni'' stesse e dell'interpretazione iniziale di Giuliana del loro significato, sia il testo lungo, completato circa vent'anni dopo, che passa dalla visione a una teologia audacemente speculativa. La traduzione di Elizabeth Spearing preserva la schiettezza di espressione di Giuliana e la ricca complessità del suo pensiero. Un'introduzione, note e appendici aiutano a collocare le opere nel contesto per i lettori moderni. Giuliana di Norwich (c. 1342 dopo il 1416) è stata la prima donna scrittrice in inglese. Non si sa nulla del suo background o persino del suo vero nome, semplicemente che credeva di essere una messaggera per tutti i cristiani a causa delle sue ''manifestazioni'' da Dio. Se ti è piaciuto Rivelazioni dell'amore divino, potresti apprezzare La nuvola dell'ignoto, disponibile anche in Penguin Classics.

Paperback. Condizione: New. One of the first woman authors, Julian of Norwich produced in Revelations of Divine Love a remarkable work of revelatory insight, that stands alongside The Cloud of Unknowing and Piers Plowman as a classic of Medieval religious literature. This Penguin Classics edition is translated from Middle English by Elizabeth Spearing, with an introduction and notes by A.C. Spearing.After fervently praying for a greater understanding of Christ's passion, Julian of Norwich, a fourteenth-century anchorite and mystic, experienced a series of divine revelations. Through these 'showings', Christ's sufferings were revealed to her with extraordinary intensity, but she also received assurance of God's unwavering love for man and his infinite capacity for forgiveness. Written in a vigorous English vernacular, the Revelations are one of the most original works of medieval mysticism and have had a lasting influence on Christian thought.This edition of the Revelations contains both the short text, which is mainly an account of the 'showings' themselves and Julian's initial interpretation of their meaning, and the long text, completed some twenty years later, which moves from vision to a daringly speculative theology. Elizabeth Spearing's translation preserves Julian's directness of expression and the rich complexity of her thought. An introduction, notes and appendices help to place the works in context for modern readers.Julian of Norwich (c. 1342 after 1416) was the first woman writer in English.
