L'impronta dell'editore
La vera storia dell'editoria è in larga parte orale – e tale sembra destinata a rimanere. Una teoria dell'arte editoriale non si è mai sviluppata – e forse è troppo tardi perché si sviluppi ora. Andando contro a questi dati di fatto, ho provato a mettere insieme due elementi: qualche passaggio nella storia di Adelphi, quale ho vissuto per cinquant'anni, e un profilo non di teoria dell'editoria, ma di ciò che una certa editoria potrebbe anche essere: una "forma", da studiare e da giudicare come si fa con un libro. Che, nel caso di Adelphi, avrebbe più di duemila capitoli. R.C.
Prebiotic chemistry and the origin of life
Born from twenty-five years of experimental research and a decade of bibliographic studies, this publication delves into the fascinating theory of life's abiotic origins. It begins with simple amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, revealing how these compounds, present from the prebiotic era and discovered in ancient meteorites, may have been pivotal in life's evolutionary journey. Focusing particularly on amino acids' chirality—that is, their existence in mirror-image right and left forms—the author probes the critical enigma of their separation and why the left (L) form dominates in all known living beings. The book sparks a compelling discussion about how this bifurcation might have occurred at life's very inception and the ultimate fate of the right form. The text further extends its reach, proposing theories on the genetic code's origins, the selection of the 20 natural amino acids from many known, and a physical theory of consciousness in bacteria. "Prebiotic Chemistry and the Origin of Life" is more than a trek through the complexities of chemistry and molecular biology; it's an enthralling journey into some of life's most profound existential questions.

The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony
'It will be read and re-read not as a treatise but as a story: one of the most extraordinary that has ever been written of the origins of Western self-consciousness' Simon Schama The marriage of Cadmus and Harmony was the last time the gods of Olympus feasted alongside mortals. What happened in the distant ages preceding it, and in the generations that followed, form the timeless tales of ancient Greek mythology. In this masterful retelling of the myths we think we know, Roberto Calasso illuminates the deepest questions of our existence. 'The kind of book one comes across only once or twice in one's lifetime' Joseph Brodsky 'A perfect work like no other' Gore Vidal
