    Fisionomia di Kafka
    The Face of Immortality: Physiognomy and Criticism
    • Focusing on the study of physiognomy, the book critiques the contemporary disregard for facial analysis as a means of understanding character and intelligence. It argues that Western culture tends to overlook the significance of the face, a trend that Davide Stimilli seeks to challenge. By drawing from various linguistic traditions, he advocates for a critical approach that values the original text, termed transliteration, over mere translation. The work aims to bridge philology and philosophy, enriching literary interpretation through a deeper appreciation of the written word.
