Germaine Greer
Thames & Hudson Ltd.

Conventional wisdom has it that in visual culture the female body, not the male, is viewed as the primary object of desire. Germaine Greer argues that until the nineteenth century the image of the female body was not drawn from life but constructed on aesthetic principles. The naked body that was instead studied and portrayed with heart-stopping immediacy in hundreds of guises, most of them to some extent erotic, some of them sadistic, is that of the boy. In exploring the iconic ideal of the beautiful boy, Germaine Greer demolishes one of the last Western taboos. With over two hundred images drawn from the whole history of Western art, illustrating the vicissitudes of the beautiful male - as toy boy, virgin soldier, naked martyr or winged genius, angel or seducer, narcissist or worshipper - they are invited to appreciate boys in all their sensuality, spontaneity and vulnerability.

Giovanni Reale, Elisabetta Sgarbi
Bompiani / RCS Libri

"C'è, a Varallo, il Sacro Monte ufficiale, diurno,, che fu pensato dall'abate Bernardino Caimi (...). Ma c'è anche, a Varallo, un altro Sacro Monte, che nessuno mai ha voluto o potuto imitare e che appartiene soltanto a questi luoghi e alla realtà di questa valle. E la storia della Valsesia, rivissuta nella storia di Cristo. L'altro Sacro Monte, che soltanto in apparenza coincide con il Sacro Monte ufficiale, è l'armata di terracotta delle ottocento statue che, di cappella in cappella, raccontano la passione e morte di nostro Signore ma raccontano anche sé stesse e le loro storie. Sono le persone che popolano le cappelle con i loro atteggiamenti, i loro visi, il loro aspetto irripetibile e che vissero, bene o male, nelle loro epoche: ma, soprattutto, che vissero tra queste montagne. Ogni tanto, capita che quella folla silenziosa si risvegli. Di notte, quando i pellegrini arrivati con i pullman dormono negli alberghi e non si celebrano funzioni nella basilica. Quando la funivia è ferma e l'unico rumore che si percepisce, nella città rinascimentale addormentata, è lo scroscio lontano dei torrenti Mastallone e Sesia. Può accadere che un orecchio esercitato a cogliere i rumori del tempo riesca a percepire, all'interno delle singole cappelle e tra una cappella e l'altra, le voci delle persone che si riconoscono, si chiamano e dialogano tra di loro."
