A once selfish giant welcomes the children to his previously forbidden garden and is eventually rewarded by an unusual tiny child.

Pyotr Tchaikovsky is one of the Romantic period's greatest composers and the first Russian composer to achieve international fame and admiration. Written during the years that he worked as a professor of music theory at the Moscow Conservatory from 1865 until 1878, "Guide to the Practical Study of Harmony" is Tchaikovsky's illuminating and instructive work on the fundamentals of musical composition. The guide was not widely distributed after it was published and remains rare as one of the few instructional works written by a famous and gifted composer. Tchaikovsky was composing some of his most important and creative works during his tenure as a professor, such as his early operas, including "Voyavoda" and "Swan Lake", as well "Variations on a Rococo Theme", and his Third and Fourth Symphonies. "Guide to the Practical Study of Harmony" is not only a fascinating glimpse into the mind and creative process of one of history's greatest composers, but it endures as a useful and helpful guide full of examples and exercises for all teachers and advanced students of music to use in understanding the role that harmony plays in compositions. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of Emil Krall and James Liebling.

Scritti tra il 1843 e il 1848, i Racconti di Natale di Dickens costituiscono uno straordinario spettacolo narrativo metafisico e magico. Con queste storie animate da fantasmi, folletti e fate, l’autore affida alla scrittura il compito di rappresentare la qualità mutevole e fluttuante del reale, dimostrando la labilità del confine tra vero e apparente, la difficoltà di definire ciò che gli occhi vedono, di comprendere ciò che le parole dicono. Come nei suoi romanzi, anche qui Dickens svela l’altra faccia del mito del progresso, ritraendo l’Inghilterra della disoccupazione e del malessere sociale, Londra con le sue case fatiscenti e le sue strade degradate; la vita raffigurata non è però mai talmente cupa e disperata da non consentire spazi al sorriso o alla risata liberatoria, e attraverso personaggi e situazioni Dickens non perde occasione per scandagliare le possibilità del comico e del grottesco. Contro la realtà gretta e meschina, Dickens progetta le sue utopie natalizie, facendo ravvedere gli indifferenti e i malvagi, e, grazie all’intervento di spiriti benevoli, agli umili è consentito il lieto fine, in stanze rallegrate dall’agrifoglio, davanti a tavole stracolme di cibo.
