history of Sicily you got to visit the blog I am going to talk about. May be we
already know that Maimone is a Sicilian editor, he is mainly involved in
publishing books for those reader community who are basically interested to
know more about Sicily and of course with the place come the great
personalities.
You
can read about different books on these topics if you are really interested, as
the blog author writes up the book
description so the point is, you can actually get the main idea about
the book before you decide to put your money on it to buy that.
For example I
went through the book Agata Cristiana e Martire Nella Catania Romana, and I got
a good about about that.
Early
days of Christianity saw many faces of torture, subversion, persecution in
Roman empire. The sufferers were those who believed in Christianity, deviating
from then Roman cult of worshiping idols. The book ‘St. Agata Chirstian and
Martyr in the Roman Catania’ published by Maimone Editor narrates the life of
St. Agata focusing on the Roman cult and culture existed at her time. What we
know about is all myth and celebration shadowing the sacrifice of St Agata in
real life. The torture she faced for refusing to abondon her faith was immense!
They are portrayed by artists depicting vivid shows of such torture! The books
take you to the path of Catania; Agata had to tread. The present days
celebration,the procession has its roots to histroy of Catania. The extremely
well written book offer knowledge of Catania; like San Gaetano Caves,
St.Agatha’s prison, her place of worship et el. Written by Anthony Temple the
book offers details of cultural activities and many forgotten facts,
connections and unusual iconography.
