'A magnificent work of scholarship' - Edmund de Waal 'I learned something new on every beautifully illustrated page' - Neil MacGregor 'A fascinating book about a long-forgotten world' - Hadley Freeman Through a series of striking case studies this revelatory book explores the world of Jewish country houses, their architecture and collections - and the lives of the extraordinary men and women who created, transformed and shaped them. Country houses are powerful symbols of national identity, evoking the glamorous world of the landowning aristocracy. Jewish country houses - properties that were owned, built, or renewed by Jews - tell a more complex story of prejudice and integration, difference...

This book explores and traces the progressive activism and radical ideas of several elite women in Italy beginning in the early 20th century. It discusses the shared political culture that shaped the thinking and the activity of these women, mainly oriented towards political philanthropy and work, seen as the cornerstone of a comprehensive redefinition of gender relations. It also discusses the connections linking them to an international network of women involved in similar political actions and economic initiatives addressing women’s' interests, as well as their legacy for the next generations. With essays from a range of scholars, this book provides an interdisciplinary framework for understanding these activists and deals with methodological and historiographical issues in reconstructing women’s contribution to history.
Max Weber non ha mai elaborato una teoria compiuta della rivoluzione politica. Eppure, la sua opera è disseminata di richiami a rivoluzionari: fanatici religiosi, idealisti irriducibili, anarcoinsurrezionalisti, capi popolo di successo. Figure che si contrappongono al mondo con la violenza, per realizzare la giustizia in terra o testimoniare i propri principi. Sebbene discontinua, la riflessione weberiana sulla soggettività rivoluzionaria interroga, articolandoli in maniera inedita, i rapporti tra politica, etica e violenza. Tracciando affreschi lucidi e avvincenti dei percorsi soggettivi all’origine di un atteggiamento di rivoluzione del mondo. E offrendo del suo autore un ritratto inconsueto, in parziale contrasto con la celebre rappresentazione del borghese con coscienza di classe.
This book is the first epoch-spanning study on Jewish participation in the Italian women’s movement, focussing in a transnational perspective on the experience of Italian-Jewish protagonists in Liberal Italy, during the First World War and the Fascist dictatorship until 1945. Drawing on ego-documents, contemporary journals and Jewish community archives, as well as records by the police and public authorities, it examines the tensions within the emancipation process between participation and exclusion. The book argues that the racial laws from 1938 did not represent the sudden end of an idyllic integration, but rather the climax of a long-term development. Social marginalization, the persecution of Jewish rights, and the assault on Jewish lives during fascism are analysed distinctly from the perspective of Jewish women. In spite of their significant influence on the transnational orientation of the Italian women’s movement, their emancipation as women and Jews remained incomplete.
Leo è convinto che il suo destino sia quello di diventare uno scrittore. Bulimico di libri, sin dall’adolescenza si rifugia nelle storie dei grandi autori russi e francesi, da Guerra e pace al Conte di Montecristo, per sfuggire al suo senso di solitudine e di inadeguatezza. Il talento dello scrittore però gli manca, almeno fino a quando non incontra Barbara, che diventa linfa e veleno per la costruzione del suo primo romanzo. Ma la vita è più imprevedibile di un libro e Leo oltre al successo incontra l’amore, che ha il volto e il nome di Elena. Lui crede di conoscerla... ma chi è davvero questa cassiera dalla faccia d’angelo? Leo, Barbara ed Elena. Ognuno di loro ha un segreto da ...
The Italian educator and physician Maria Montessori is best known for the teaching method that bears her name, but historian Erica Moretti reframes Montessori's work, showing that pacifism was the foundation of her pioneering efforts in psychiatry and pedagogy.
