Art and the artist in the literary works of Elsa Triolet
Full text linkThis thesis takes a representative selection of Triolet's works to study the themes of writing and creativity as they are presented in the novels. These are all portraits of artists and the accounts of the search for a synthesis of aesthetic freedom and ethical responsibility. It considers Triolet's importance as a foreign writer, adopting a new creative language to be adopted by a different cultural
environment, to be essential in understanding her importance to the French literary tradition. By emphasising her formative years in the avant-garde circles of prerevolutionary Russia, my study demonstrates her considerable contribution to the meeting of Russian and French aesthetic theories. I extend this with close textual
readings of certain works to demonstrate her techniques in novelistic construction which reveal many Formalist practices before Formalist works in translation made
their official influence on creative methods.
The introduction considers the reasons for Triolet's neglect as a writer. It then considers various contemporary and recent critical appraisals which indicate
the interest she has received until present and which allow me to define my own critical approach. Part One traces Triolet's literary evolution from her formative
years in Russia, through exile to her first publications in Russian. It then considers her insertion into French literary activity, and her association with the schools of
socialist realism and the "nouveau roman".
Part Two examines two traditional novels which portray the creative and metaphorical roles of the artist and his work, showing the constant conflict between private and public lives. In Part Three, I show how aspects of novelistic
traditionalism are gradually foregrounded so that the work develops a dual-sided character where it both narrates and examines the processes of its own narration. In Part Four, this move to highly self-conscious aesthetics demonstrates an idiosyncratic exploration of new paths for the novel that bring visual, auditive and cinematographic media into the traditional domain of written art. Accompanying
the very post-modernist experimentation, I show how this research within the novel into the novel's own future has an ethical and redemptive purpose whose final conclusion is that creativity and human freedom are inexorably interwoven
«Where there is no vice of exterminating poets»: Elsa Morante and The world saved by kids
No full textreservedIn questo elaborato verrà analizzato il libro più eccentrico di Elsa Morante: Il mondo salvato dai ragazzini.
Dopo un iniziale inquadramento storico e una precisazione in merito al genere letterario in cui l'opera rientra, si analizzeranno gli influssi che la cultura orientale ha avuto sull'opera e i rimandi intertestuali con Simone Weil, dichiarato modello dell'autrice.
Si passerà poi a un'analisi più puntuale sulla terza sezione: le Canzoni popolari, e si spiegherà dettagliatamente chi siano i Felici Pochi e i ragazzini a cui Elsa Morante affida il compito di salvare il mondo.
Per concludere si porteranno degli esempi puntuali di Felici Pochi anonimi, mettendoli in relazione con alcuni personaggi di un'altra importante opera della stessa autrice: La Storia.This paper will analyse Elsa Morante's most eccentric book:The World Saved by Little Kids.
After an initial historical background and a clarification regarding the literary genre in which the work falls, the influences that Eastern culture had on the work and the intertextual cross-references with Simone Weil, the author's declared model, will be analysed.
It will then turn to a more pointed analysis on the third section: the Folk Songs, and will explain in detail who the Happy Few and the little kids are to whom Elsa Morante entrusts the task of saving the world.
To conclude, timely examples of anonymous Happy Few will be brought in, relating them to some of the characters in another important work by the same author, The Story

In 1898 she married the physician Dr. Jacques Oestreicher and in 1899 their daughter Anni Henriette Oestreicher, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1935, was born. During World War I Elsa Oestreicher worked as a Hilfsschwester (assistant nurse) for the Red Cross for more than 4 years and received two medals, a Zivilverdienstkreuz and the Rote Kreuzmedaille, for her efforts. After World War I she worked as a cooking instructor for about five years at the Schule der Hausfrauen (Am Karlsbad 13) and wrote a number of cookbooks. Due to growing anti-Semitism she had to give up her position there and she opened a private cooking school which operated successfully until Elsa was at first forbidden to instruct Christian students and later on, to teach Jewish students as well. After that, Elsa Oestreicher worked in a Jewish hospital, the Siechenheim der Reichsvereinigung in Gross-Lichterfelde and when it was dissolved, in the kitchen of the Durchgangslager (transit camp), Grosse Hamburgerstrasse. Three months after her husband’s death in August 1942, she was deported to Theresienstadt on November 4, 1942. In Theresienstadt Elsa Oestreicher worked as a cook, a cooking instructor and as head of the soup-kitchen. After the liberation of Theresienstadt she had to stay at the Displaced Persons Center Deggendorf until she immigrated via Sweden to the United States in 1946, where she died in New York in 1963.3-page inventory.digitizedBeerfelden ; Frankfurt am Mai
Charging tenants with maintenance fees. Analysis on the basis of tax on goods and services
No full textArtykuł opublikowany w czasopiśmie "Przegląd Prawniczy Europejskiego Stowarzyszenia Studentów Prawa ELSA Poland" w zeszycie 1/2013, został wyłoniony w drodze konkursów organizowanych przez Grupy Lokalne ELSA Poland w 2013r.This article identifies key problems connected with imposing a value added tax on re-invoicing
the costs of utilities relating to rental agreement. I throws doubt on whether all the supplies which the
landlord makes to the tenant constitute a single supply from the point of view of VAT. Author discusses
possible classification of above -mentioned transaction for VAT purposes (i.e. as an autonomous and
separate from tenancy supply or as a indivisible economic supply which it would be artificial to split
rental component). It also gives the readers the insight into tax consequences of designed legal and tax
classifications. Moreover, the article shows differences between standpoints presented in a recent
interpretation issued by tax authorities and judicial decisions. It also gives an overview of the most
recent judicial practice of the Court of Justice of the EU connected with re-invoicing service charge.
Author emphasizes the relevance of judgments issued by the CJEU (especially the verdict
on 27 September 2012 in case C-392/11 Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP v. Commissioners for Her
Majesty’s Revenue and Customs which seems to play a major part in resolving the dispute in question)

I racconti di Elsa Morante: stato dell'arte e prospettive future
No full textInternational audienceThis paper reviews the history of the publication of Elsa Morante's short stories, from the very first publications scattered through several journals and magazines to the posthumous publications, and in the middle two collections by the author herself: "Il gioco segreto" ("The secret game") (1941) and "Lo scialle andaluso" ("The andalusian shawl") (1963). This reveals the author's uncompromising strategy in which she tried to disguise her juvenile attempts, a list of which is included in the references along with any re-found work. The fact sheet lists the features of the two collections by the author and highlights some inconsistencies in the posthumous collections. The paper ends with a sample of subjects from some short stories that wer never published in one volume (neither by the author nor in any porthumous collection) and which are evidence of the critical importance of such texts, in the hope a ful, systematic collection of Elsa Morante's short stories may soon be prepared.Il contributo percorre la storia edioriale dei racconti di Elsa Morante, dalla prima pubblicazione dispersa in riviste e periodici alle edizioni postume, passando attraverso le due raccolte d'autore: "Il gioco segreto" (1941) e "Lo scialle andaluso" (1963). Ne emerge una strategia autoriale intransigente e volta a dissimulare la produzione giovanile, della quale viene presentato un ragguaglio bibliografico, indicando altresì eventuali recuperi. La scheda presenta le caratteristiche delle due raccolte d'autore e mette in luce alcune incongruenze nelle raccolte postume. Chiude il contributo un campione di temi tratti da racconti mai raccolti in volume (né dall'autrice, é in racconte postume) che testimoniano la rilevanza critica di questi testi, auspicando l'allestimento di una raccolta organica dei racconti di Elsa Morante

L’isola di Arturo di Elsa Morante
Full text linkThe first two novels of Elsa Morante, Menzogna e sortilegio (1948) and L’isola di Arturo(1957), have always been considered texts without any recognizable relationship to their historical context, contrary to the view expressed by the author that any literary work of value will inevitably contain a portrait of its time. The aim of the present study is to cast light on those aspects of L’isola di Arturo that make it a typical product of the decade 1950-1960
