IN REVISIONE. CONCLUSO. Si discute in chiave analitica e pratica la figura della donna nel mondo islamico alla luce della Sharī'ah (Legislazione Islamica) mettendo a nudo i dubbi che i mass media diffondono e rispondendo ai dubbi stessi. Il libro è assente da qualsiasi tipo di interferenza, giudizi o punti di vista dell'autore (salvo in alcuni in cui si interviene in prima persona od in seconda plurale) lasciando più spazio ai dati storici concreti così da poter risultare l'opera un esame scettico in cui emerge la differenza oggettiva tra l'Islām autentico e l'Islām propagandato dai mass media. Si vedranno casi di mancanza del rispetto della consecutio temporum nella narrazione dei fatti remoti, ovvero un'incongruenza dei tempi italiani dando la precedenza al presente indicativo per narrare fatti passati per renderli più coinvolgenti, quasi come il presente storico latino. 31/08/2019 - N.1 in #diritti

Notes from Underground, also translated as Notes from the Underground or Letters from the Underworld, is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Notes is considered by many to be one of the first existentialist novels. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man) who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. The first part of the story is told in monologue form, or the underground man's diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy, especially Nikolay Chernyshevsky's What Is to Be Done? The second part of the book is called "Apropos of the Wet Snow" and describes certain events that appear to be destroying and sometimes renewing the underground man, who acts as a first person, unreliable narrator and anti-hero

Crime and Punishment is a novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was first published in the literary journal 'The Russian Messenger' in twelve monthly installments during 1866. Later, it was published in a single volume. It is the second of Dostoevsky's full-length novels following his return from 5 years of exile in Siberia. Crime and Punishment is considered the first great novel of his "mature" period of writing. Crime and Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in Saint Petersburg who formulates a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her money. Before the killing, Raskolnikov believes that with the money he could liberate himself from poverty and go on to perform great deeds; but confusion, hesitation, and chance muddy his plan for a morally justifiable killing.
