SŸdtirol
Der Reiseführer im Taschenbuchformat Südtirol, das zu den reichsten Provinzen Italiens zählt, ist ein Übergangsland von Nord nach Süd. Vom Brenner im Norden bis zur Salurner Klause im Süden sind es nur 120 km. Von der Grenze zum österreichischen Osttirol bis zum Übergang zur Nachbarprovinz Sondrio im Westen beträgt die Entfernung auch nur rund 200 km. Doch dieser kleine Landstrich hat es in sich: vielfältige gepflegte Landschaften auf kleinstem Raum, die unverwechselbar sind, weltberühmte Berge, deren Namen sich sofort einprägen, eine lebendige, tradierte Kultur, die bereits den Süden erahnen lässt, eine feine, aber auch deftige Küche, die das Beste aus dem Norden und dem Süd...
DuMont Reise-Taschenbuch Reiseführer Südtirol
Südtirol, die kleine Provinz im Norden Italiens und seit jeher Grenzland zwischen Nord und Süd, bietet auf engstem Raum eine überaus reizvolle Vielfalt: Weltberühmte Berge inmitten teils lieblicher, teils wild-schroffer Landschaften, eine lebendige, tradierte Kultur, die bereits den Süden erahnen lässt, und eine feine, aber auch deftige Küche, die das Beste aus dem Norden und dem Süden miteinander verbindet. Welche der vielen kulturellen Sehenswürdigkeiten man keinesfalls versäumen sollte, wo die landschaftlich schönsten Wanderungen und Radtouren verlaufen, und ob Italienischkenntnisse für einen Südtirol-Urlaub unbedingt notwendig sind, das erfährt man von den Autoren Reinhard ...
La restauratrice di libri
Helene, una giovane restauratrice di libri tedesca, atterra a Erevan per restaurare antichi manoscritti e imparare le tecniche della legatoria armena. Le viene affidato un evangeliario del Diciottesimo secolo, passato di mano in mano fino ad arrivare, nel 1915, a una famiglia sulla costa del Mar Nero. Gli ultimi proprietari sono stati Anahid e Hrant, e quel libro è l’unica cosa che rimane ai due fratelli in fuga dal genocidio armeno. Helene, un secolo dopo, lavora minuziosamente al complicato restauro con bisturi, ago e filo; il processo è completato da procedimenti quasi alchemici di estrazione del colore. Sul bordo di una pagina trova una scritta scarabocchiata: Hrant non vuole sveglia...

New Culture, New Right
New Culture, New Right is the first English-language study of the identitarian movements presently reshaping the contours of European politics. The study's focus is Alain de Benoist's GRECE (Groupement de Recherche et d'Etude pour la Civilisation Européenne), which Paul Piccone of Telos described as the most interesting group of continental thinkers since the existentialists of the 1950s and which elsewhere is seen as the leading school of contemporary Right-wing thought. Made up of veterans from various nationalist, traditionalist, far Right, and regionalist movements, the GRECE began as an association of French intellectuals committed to restoring the crumbling cultural foundations of Eur...
The Dark Side of Shakespeare: an Elizabethan Courtier, Diplomat, Spymaster, & Epic Hero
The "Dark Side of Shakespeare" trilogy by W. Ron Hess has been his 20-year undertaking to try to fill-in many of the gaps in knowledge of Shakespeare's personality and times. The first two volumes investigated wide-ranging topics, including the key intellectual attributes that Shakespeare exhibited in his works, including the social and political events of the 1570s to early-1600s. This was when Hess believes the Bard's works were being "originated" (the earliest phases of artistry, from conception or inspiration to the first of multiple iterations of "writing"). Hess highlights a peculiar fascination that the Bard had with the half-brother of Spain's Philip II, the heroic Don Juan of Austri...
Technology and the Character of Contemporary Life
Blending social analysis and philosophy, Albert Borgmann maintains that technology creates a controlling pattern in our lives. This pattern, discernible even in such an inconspicuous action as switching on a stereo, has global effects: it sharply divides life into labor and leisure, it sustains the industrial democracies, and it fosters the view that the earth itself is a technological device. He argues that technology has served us as well in conquering hunger and disease, but that when we turn to it for richer experiences, it leads instead to a life dominated by effortless and thoughtless consumption. Borgmann does not reject technology but calls for public conversation about the nature of the good life. He counsels us to make room in a technological age for matters of ultimate concern—things and practices that engage us in their own right.
