The open access book examines the consequences of the Italian Constitutional Court’s Judgment 238/2014 which denied the German Republic’s immunity from civil jurisdiction over claims to reparations for Nazi crimes committed during World War II. This landmark decision created a range of currently unresolved legal problems and controversies which continue to burden the political and diplomatic relationship between Germany and Italy.

The book’s three interlinked legal themes are state immunity, reparation for serious human rights violations and war crimes (in...

Written by a member of the French resistance who became an important literary figure in postwar France, this moving memoir of life and death in Auschwitz and the postwar experiences of women survivors has become a key text for Holocaust studies classes. This second edition includes an updated and expanded introduction and new bibliography by Holocaust scholar Lawrence L. Langer. “Delbo’s exquisite and unflinching account of life and death under Nazi atrocity grows fiercer and richer with time. The superb new introduction by Lawrence L. Langer illuminates the subtlety and complexity of Delbo’s meditation on memory, time, culpability, and survival, in the context of what Langer calls the ‘afterdeath’ of the Holocaust. Delbo’s powerful trilogy belongs on every bookshelf.”—Sara R. Horowitz, York University Winner of the 1995 American Literary Translators Association Award
È nella storia della LETTERATURA che risiede la vera storia MORALE e CIVILE di tutti gli ITALIANI. Da Pascoli a D'Annunzio, da Marinetti a Palazzeschi, da Ungaretti a Montale e Saba; ma anche Pavese, Sereni, Penna, Pasolini, Raboni. Tutti i nomi più importanti della poesia italiana del Novecento, letti attraverso quei testi che hanno saputo magistralmente cogliere, registrare, raccontare lo spirito di un secolo. Un percorso che prende le mosse dal sogno risorgimentale e, attraverso la formazione di un'idea di popolo, termina idealmente con il lucido sguardo di Pier Paolo Pasolini e con la sua riflessione su Gramsci con cui si conclude la stagione politica della nostra poesia. Ernesto Galli della Loggia presenta un'antologia dai caratteri forti, nella quale si colgono un gusto indiscutibile, una conoscenza profonda della materia e la spiazzante dimostrazione di come solo la poesia sappia raccontare, con straordinaria chiarezza e forte pathos, la vera storia morale e civile di tutti gli italiani.
"A vital guide ... It is difficult to imagine anyone seriously interested in Dante who will not want to own this book" AN Wilson, The Times Since Dante Alighieri wrote the Divine Comedy it has defined how people imagine and depict not only heaven and hell, but romantic love and the human condition. However, while Dante's works are widely celebrated outside Italy, the circumstances of his extraordinary life are less well known. Born in 1265, Dante's adolescence was characterised by literary genius, but his political activism in one of the medieval world's wealthiest cities led to his death in exile. Pre-eminent Dante scholar Alessandro Barbero and celebrated translator Allan Cameron bring the poet vividly to life. Animating the political intrigue, violence, civil war, exile and cities that shaped Dante's poetic and political life, this is a remarkable portrait of one of the creators of European literature and a towering medieval figure in time for the 700th anniversary of his death.
