Jean Calvin

Una serie de hilarantes y entrañables tiras cómicas sobre el nuevo mejor amigo del hombre.

Alla fine degli anni Cinquanta esce in America un insolito libro per bambini: la storia di una bambola solitaria, "The lonely doll", che si strugge disperata per avere degli amici, fino a che alla sua porta si presentano due orsetti con i quali riesce finalmente a creare una famiglia. Ad accompagnare il racconto non sono però le solite illustrazioni, ma fotografie in bianco e nero, sorprendentemente realistiche e dai toni noir, di una bambola Lenci e due orsi di peluche. La fiaba, cupa e tenebrosa, conquista subito il favore del giovane pubblico, imprimendosi in maniera indelebile nell'immaginario di un'intera generazione. È solo l'inizio di una serie di successo per la sua autrice, la fotografa ed ex modella Dare Wright. A quarant'anni di distanza il libro è ormai scomparso dalle librerie e dai cataloghi, ma non dal cuore dei suoi lettori..

In the middle of the 16th century, the Geneva Psalter infected the whole of Reformed Europe – Switzerland included – with a true psalm fever. The first complete collection of all 150 psalms, promoted by the Genevan reformer Jean Calvin, was published in 1562. The psalm verses were translated into French and provided with melodies by various Genevan cantors.Thanks to the collection’s immense importance for the Reformation and its unique artistic content, these psalms inspired like none before the most influential composer of the time to write a large number of polyphonic psalm settings. The four-part psalms composed by Claude Goudimel (ca. 1514-1572) were published in 1564, just two years after their initial release. Set in a simple note-against-note setting with the well-known Genevan melodies in the tenor part, these psalms quickly gained incredible popularity.
