How Long Does Trimethoprim Live Sell By

After many summers / Aldous Huxley

I bought this book in an antiquarian bookshop, being unavailable in the libraries close. It was the book cited by the protagonist of the film "A Single Man" Tom Ford. For some reason struck me. Me are procured and are not repentant.

Incipit:

had established all by telegram: Jeremiah Pordage supposed to find a black driver in gray uniform with a pink cap, black driver had to look for a middle-aged English leading in the hands of the poetic works of Wordsworth. Although the station was crowded, they found themselves without difficulty.

"The driver of Mr. Stoyte?"

"Mr. Pordage"

Jeremiah nodded and, with Wordsworth in his hand and an umbrella in the other, a little stretched his arms, a gesture of pleading dummy, which esibisse, humorous and with full awareness of its defects, a paltry figure, accentuated by one of the most ridiculous clothes. "Here I am" seemed to say "here I am, poor thing, but as I am." The decrease as a defensive measure and as it prophylactically, had become a habit for him. "

The novel is set in Los Angeles, referring to Beverly Hills (translated here as" Beverly Hills ") and Hollywood . begins with the arrival in Los Angeles Pordage of Jeremiah, an English scholar at the invitation of a wealthy tycoon, Beppe Stoyte, to file an older archive of a noble English family.

Beppe Stoyte really is not interested culture. It only serves to show its enormous wealth. He lives in a kind of castle (which Pordage calls the "Subject" and that inspired the movie Citizen Kane in the Orson Wells), full of works of art (even a Vermeer in the elevator). Beppe - Joseph better (but here the names are all Italianized this old translation) - is obsessed with death and the victim is unaware of his medical adviser, Dr. Obispo, which exploits the fear of the magnet to extract money and to do research on longevity. For his experiments studying the carp that live hundreds of years, in order to discover their secret and use the results to increase the human lifespan. Obispo advantage of its influence on Stoyte to flirt with his girl lover, Virginia, a girl easily corrupt, despite its superficial faith in the Madonna. Obispo's research on the longevity of the carp will confirm in the maps consulted by Pordage, particularly in the diary of an old English nobleman who talks about his experience and the discovery of the vital power obtained by eating the intestines of this fish.

Other characters, not secondary, are Pete, the innocent victim of jealousy Slyte and propter, the philosopher who lives in a simple and independent. These are the conversations between Pete and propter, and above all the long speeches propter walking the novel in part philosophical. The philosophy is a propter true Stoic philosophy: "liberation from the personality, liberation from time and desire, freedom in union with God." In particular - and this is the most interesting part - the struggle to affirm the ideals, according propter, is nothing but a form, even more dangerous, affirmation of the ego.

"The sacrifice of oneself to a cause that is not the highest is the sacrifice to an ideal, which is simply a projection of the ego"

propter see that evil pervades the world and seems to suggest a place "no commitment" of limited action, without presuming to impose good. At the end of the novel it seems the bad outweighs the good: there is murder is not punished and that the guilty get away. But propter would say that this is irrelevant: the evil part of man, and as long as man fails to state the plan of the animal and that of spirituality (as opposed to the plan of humanity), there will be nothing to do and Pete's death, in general terms of human life she is just an accident.

The text is very fluid, with some slowness in the "philosophical". Beautiful letter which Jeremiah wrote to his mother, which gives us an interesting picture of the Oedipal relationship, accepting and aware, indeed proudly claimed (Part II, chap. 1). Carry only the final of the letter, but would be worth the pana to read it all:

"Well, I have nothing to say, as I used to write when I was in school - and in large print, remember? in an effort to make the words fill a half page notebook. I have nothing else to say except, of course, the unspeakable, and what I leave unsaid because you already know. "

It 's a nice phrase for this concluding note.

Grows Older by Italo Svevo


Incipit:

"Now, with the first words that gave her, wanted to let you know that do not intend to compromise in a relationship too seriously. He talked about that very nearly so: - I love you very much and wish for your sake you agree to move us very cautious. - The word was so cautious that it was difficult to believe that for the sake of others, and a little 'more honest would have to play like this: - I like a lot, but in my life you can not ever be more important than a toy. I have other duties, my career, my family, "

Characters:

Henry Brentani : the protagonist, would want to live a simple adventure with Angie, thinking rationally control the story and, instead, he is deceiving others and, above all, himself. His is a story of lies and self delusions. And 'he' s "murderess" Amelia's sister?

Angiolina : a simple girl who tells lies, but in the end, it also seems the most authentic character in the sense that at least does not deceive herself. It 's always seen through the eyes of others or the friend of Henry or Stephen or others who report what he does. E 'Henry wants to see that different from what is and "build" and that in the end becomes a perfect symbol: Angie, in reality, life, youth, freedom that Henry would have, without success, because never is willing to stake his monotonous white-collar life.

Amelia: the sister of Henry, a "strangled life", "born gray, unwittingly involved in the affair of his brother, who neglects his adventure to live with Angie. She also lives a kind of "adventure" imaginary, during the delirium of illness when she imagines her marriage to Stephen, a friend of the sculptor Henry. A walk with Stephen and his brother is the only time life of this character, who dies tragically, bringing with him the secret that is the cause of the disease.

Stefano Baldi : the artist a bit 'failed, a friend of Henry: But is it really a friend? O prevails in him the desire to dominate, to excel, like when going out in company with Emilio, Angie and Julia, wants to show his strength, his ability to dominate women, humiliating Henry appears, however, weak and inept .

The word "incompetence" to life is one that best expresses the character of the characters and featuring the novel: not so much ineptitude as an inability to confront and overcome tragic events, but simply as an inability to express their feelings in an authentic manner and to oppose the mysterious force that seems to force them to live in lies and deception in the car (shown here a clear reference to the "will" of Schopenhauer).

L ' Spinoza's heresy / Steven Nadler


L ' heresy of Spinoza. Immortality and the spirit Jewish Steven Nadler. Turin: Einaudi, c2005

Incipit:

It 'a beautiful mystery. In 1656, Bento de Spinoza was twenty-three. He was a scion of a family having enough but not too rich, the Sephardic community of Amsterdam ... He had great intellectual gifts that were certainly not gone unnoticed in the eyes of the rabbis. Perhaps Baruch (the name means, in both Hebrew and Portuguese, "blessed") was actually destined for a career as a rabbi. At seventeen, however, was forced to interrupt their studies. His older brother, Isaac, was in fact died in the meantime, which forced the young Bento to deal with family affairs, engaged in commercial activities. Within a few years, at the end of 1654, when the father died, Spinoza found himself at the helm of family business ... Then July 27, 1656 ... The following proclamation was read in Hebrew, before the ark of the Torah, the synagogue nell'affollatissima dell'Houtgracht:

I Senhores but the 'amad a long time the opinions and the evil deeds of Baruch de Spinoza, have tried in various ways and with different promises to get him back on track. But having failed to correct it in any way and vice versa continues to receive daily information based on the abominable heresies which he has done and taught, as well as its monstrous acts, and having many credible witnesses ... have decided ... that the said Espinoza is excommunicated and expelled from the people of Israel. Decree on the order of angels and saints, we excommunicate, expel, curse and damn Baruch de Espinoza ... he is damn damn day and night, cursed and damned if you lie down when he gets up, cursed and cursed when it comes out when he returns. The Lord will not spare the contrary, the anger of the Lord and his jealousy to beat upon this man, and all the curses written in this book [the Torah] will hang on him, and the Lord will erase his name from under heaven. The Lord depart with all the evil from the tribes of Israel, in obedience to all the curses written in this book of the law "

The book tries to answer the question of why Spinoza was proclaimed to a Cherem (contract) so hard, the hardest ever issued by the rabbis of the Jewish community of Amsterdam. It discusses the philosophical positions of Spinoza, in relation to works written by the rabbis of religious Amsterdam, the production of Maimonides and Gersonides, the most influential Jewish philosophers. The key point that emerges and explains that, in light of the arguments of the author, the hardness of Cherem , is the question of the immortality of the soul and its survival after death, definitely denied by Spinoza. This denial, although in a different context could be tolerated, as it is not part of the dogmas of the Jewish religion, in particular political situation of Dutch Jews who fled persecution in Spain, many of them former conversos ( ex forcibly converted to Catholicism) and, therefore, timorosi di scontentare le autorità olandesi, apparve scandalosa e intollerabile. Spinoza diventa un caso emblematico, per cui la sua negazione dell'immortalità dell'anima deve essere punita in modo esemplare. Ma lasciamo parlare l'Autore che, nella parte finale, sintetizza con chiarezza i motivi di un bando così duro:

"Solo, il bando di Spinoza ... è particolare: è il più violento e collerico mai pronunciato dai chachamin di Amsterdam. E ciò per una ragione precis, come ho cercato di mostrare, ossia perché una certa tesi di Spinoza era davvero intollerabile. Oltre a negare la paternità mosaica del Pentateuco, oltre a sostenere che Dio esiste only in a philosophical sense, Spinoza denied the immortality of the soul. And the Jews of the seventeenth century Amsterdam was not the place to do it. "

Interesting also pp. 178-185 on the use of hope and fear on the part of religious institutions (as well as political ones) to control and keep at bay the faithful and subjects.
