Roberto Calasso

Roberto Calasso (born 30 May 1941 in Florence) is an Italian writer and publisher.〔(Roberto Calasso at PEN American Center retrieved 23 April 2010 )〕
==Biography==
Calasso was born in 1941, into a family of the Tuscan upper class, well connected with some of the great Italian intellectuals of their time. His maternal grandfather Ernesto Codignola was a professor of philosophy at Florence University. Codignola created a new publishing house called La Nuova Italia, in Florence, as his friend Benedetto Croce had done in Bari with Laterza. Calasso's uncle Tristano Codignola, was a partisan during World War II who after the war joined the political life of the new republic, and was for a while Minister of Education. His mother Melisenda – who gave up an academic career to raise her three children – was a scholar of German literature, working on Hölderlin’s translations of the Greek poet Pindar. His father Francesco was a law professor, first at Florence University and then in Rome, where he eventually became dean of his faculty.
Calasso has worked for the publishing firm of Adelphi Edizioni since its founding in 1962 and became its Chairman in 1999. His books have been translated into most European languages.
He is the author of an unnamed ongoing work reflecting on the culture of modernity which began with ''The Ruin of Kasch'' in 1983, a book admired by Italo Calvino. Dedicated to the French statesman Talleyrand, it was followed in 1988 by ''The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony'', in which the tale of Cadmus and his wife Harmonia becomes a pretext for re-telling the great tales of Greek mythology and reflecting on the reception of Greek culture for a contemporary readership. Another world civilization is surveyed in ''Ka'' (1996, where the subject of the re-telling is Hindu mythology). ''K'' restricts the focus to a single author, Franz Kafka; this trend continues with ''Il rosa Tiepolo'', inspired by an adjective used by Proust to describe a shade of pink used by Tiepolo in his paintings. With ''La folie Baudelaire'', Calasso once more broadens his scope to fresco a whole civilisation, that of Paris in the latter half of the 19th century, reconsidering the lives and works of the post-romantic generation of writers and artists from Baudelaire to Valéry. In his most recent work, ''Ardore'' (2010), the author returns to India for an exhaustive analysis of the theory and practice of Vedic sacrifice and its significance for post-modern epistemology.
His more narrowly focused essays relating to European modernity are collected in ''I quarantanove gradini'' (''The Forty-nine Steps''), addressed to Pierre Klossowski and his wife; ''Literature and the gods'' (2002) (based on his Weidenfeld Lectures at Oxford, on the decline and return of pagan imagery in the art of the west), and ''La follia che viene dalle ninfe'' (''The Madness that Comes from the Nymphs''), a collection of related essays ranging from Plato's ''Phaedrus'' to Nabokov's ''Lolita''.
