In Luigi Meneghello's work, the representation of the plant world refers to a subtext of images and symbols: a network of botanical isotopies which transforms into a system while allowing for an alternative and unprecedented reading. From the pages of Libera nos a malo (1963), up to the 'posthumous letters' of L'appendistato (2012), what the author calls «inframondo verdastro» becomes the starting point for the restoration of a literary biosphere, one which is constantly crossed by a double movement: intertextual memory and continuous interaction between Italian, English and the dialect from Vicenza (Italy). Meneghello's 'reflected garden' thus reveals itself in all its semantic value, and sheds light on a theme of surprisingly great complexity, and also a subject of particular interest for literary ecocriticism.

In Luigi Meneghello's work, literary representations of the mineral world play a deconstructive role, in that they authorize unprecedented and transversal readings aimed at unlocking the writer's material and scientific imagery. Meneghello quite literally seems to have 'stratified' his creative work through using this imagery, from the lithogenesis of writing to the semantics of the crystal, petrifying reveries, and the effusive magma of language. The líthos is used as a 'probe', a hermeneutic sounding device through which to investigate cultural systems, the sedimentation of collective memory, and the role of writing itself, and it functions as a privileged access key to the author's poetics.

Il volume raccoglie i contributi di studiosi dell'opera di Claudio Magris al fine di arricchire il dibattito critico, con uno sguardo specifico alla dimensione interdisciplinare e al continuo dialogo della sua attività con le principali tradizioni letterarie europee. Ne risulta uno studio complessivo sulla produzione narrativa, saggistica e teatrale dello scrittore triestino, volto a restituirne l'identità plurale e prismatica: dalla narrazione sui luoghi all'ineludibile tensione ideologica; dagli alfabeti filosofici al peso della Storia; dalla riscrittura del Mito ai rapporti con le altre letterature; dalla filigrana ipotestuale a veri e propri case studies che, secondo una prospettiva diacronica, si soffermano su opere come Microcosmi, Alla cieca, Non luogo a procedere e Tempo curvo a Krems.

The graphic novel is one of the most suggestive and successful semiotic phenomena. This collection of essays focuses on the interrelations of image and text, and how they are substantiated and thematized by graphic novels. The volume gathers together twelve essays and follows a twofold structure: a historical and theoretical one, providing different and complementary approaches to the topic, from neurocognitive narratology to Digital Humanities; in the second part of the volume several case studies are discussed, based on key examples as shown by the following authors and their work: from Vanna Vinci and Lorenza Natarella, to Gipi, Zerocalcare and Manuel Fior; from Dino Buzzati to Hugo Pratt and Pazienza; from Pablo Echaurren to the Homeric epics' comics remediation.
