Paolo Loffredo, sixth generation of a large family of publishers and booksellers engaged in the production and distribution of books since the late nineteenth century, creates in 2012 the new editorial company Paolo Loffredo Editore. The historical site was until the '80s in the heart of the historic centre of Naples in Via San Biagio dei Librai, lower Decumano and also known as the SpaccaNapoli.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Giuseppe Loffredo decided to add book selling to the book production, which definitively imposed itself after World War II with the publication of manuals for the University and for the School that succeeded in establishing themselves soon throughout Italy.

Description
La medicina dell’anima: prosa e poesia per il racconto della malattia
The book goes through italian literature, from Renaissance to contemporaneity, inquiring ways, times and places of intersection between medical science and literature. From scenes to poems, from treatises to storytelling, italian literature told a lot about sickness, using medical science as a sister-art. Literary criticism has only recently started to focus on new research fields that narrative medicine and biopoetics had already found. This book points to an encroachment and is an invitation to cross the “limen” , focusing on authors and texts which told about sickness, to cure it, to uderstand it, to get rid of it or just to keep it far.
