By the time of his early death in 1980, he had accumulated a body of work that astonishes with its abundance and diversity, its depth and scope, and, above all, for its unfailing rigor and brilliance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eTime and Festivity\u003c\/i\u003e, Andrea Cavalletti collects Jesi's finest essays, ranging from his groundbreaking work on myth and politics to his reflections on time, festivity, and revolt. He explores the significance of texts by Rimbaud, Rilke, Luk cs, and Pavese and the mythological language of the biblical story of Susanna.
