Теорема: Сценарии, роман, повесть, рассказы, статьи, эссе, интервью

by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Пьер Паоло Пазолини

Первая в России книга, знакомящая читателя с блистательным культурным наследием Пьера Паоло Пазолини (1922 - 1975) - прозаика, кинорежиссера, сценариста, критика, публициста, эссеиста, и, прежде всего - поэта, поэта во всем.

Творчество Пазолини - нарушителя канонов и одновременно продолжателя художественных традиций, мифотворца, мистика, корсара и пророка, ощущавшего себя изгоем и мессией, неотделимо от его жизни, а разные формы самовыражения продолжают друг друга: в них разрабатываются одни и те же темы и мотивы, вновь и вновь возникают основополагающие для Пазолини образы и категории - Мать и Отец, Море и Пустыня, Эрос, Смерть, Священное, История, Власть... От страницы к странице парадоксы его произведений и интервью складываются в уникальное мировидение.

About the author

Italian poet, novelist, critic, essayst, journalist, translator, dramatist, film director, screenwriter and philosopher, often regarded as one of the greatest minds of XX century, was murdered violently in Rome in 1975 in circumstances not yet been clarified. Pasolini is best known outside Italy for his films, many of which were based on literary sources - The Gospel According to Saint Matthew, The Decameron, The Canterbury Tales...

Pasolini referred himself as a 'Catholic Marxist' and often used shocking juxtapositions of imagery to expose the vapidity of values in modern society.
His essays and newspaper articles often critized the capitalistic omologation and also often contributed to public controversies which had made him many enemies. In the weeks leading up to his murder he had condemned Italy's political class for its corruption, for neo-fascist terrorist conspiracy and for collusion with the Mafia and the infamous "Propaganda 2" masonic lodge of Licio Gelli and Eugenio Cefis.

His friend, the writer Alberto Moravia, considered him "the major Italian poet" of the second half of the 20th century.
