Not so long ago, songs by the Andrews Sisters and Lawrence Welk blasted from phonographs, lilted over the radio, and dazzled television viewers across the country. Lending star quality to the ethnic music of Poles, Italians, Slovaks, Jews, and Scandinavians, luminaries like Frankie Yankovic, the Polka King, and "Whoopee John" Wilfart became household names to millions of Americans. In this vivid and engaging book, Victor Greene uncovers a wonderful corner of American social history as he traces the popularization of old-time ethnic music from the turn of the century to the 1960s. Drawing on newspaper clippings, private collections, ethnic societies, photographs, recordings, and interviews wi...
What becomes of the wicked? Hell—exile from God, subjection to fire, worms, and darkness—for centuries the idea has shaped the dread of malefactors, the solace of victims, and the deterrence of believers. Although we may associate the notion of hell with Christian beliefs, its gradual emergence depended on conflicting notions that pervaded the Mediterranean world more than a millennium before the birth of Christ.

La vita di Giuseppe Fazio inizia nel piccolo paesello di Castelsilano, ma prosegue presto a Roma e poi in Canada. Mettendo nero su bianco tutto il suo vissuto, l’autore ci racconta le difficoltà che la sua famiglia ha dovuto affrontare; la lontananza del padre costretto a emigrare prima in Canada e poi in Svizzera per mandare i soldi alla famiglia; la riunione dell’intera famiglia in Canada e il naturale proseguimento della stirpe dei Fazio. Tra aneddoti divertenti e ricordi dolorosi, affrontiamo un viaggio alla scoperta di una sorte condivisa da molti italiani dagli anni Cinquanta a oggi. Giuseppe Fazio nasce il 3 novembre 1948 a Castelsilano, ai piedi della Sila. Finita a fatica la quinta elementare, entra nel seminario della Pia Società San Paolo a Roma, dove rimane dal 1961 al 1965. Successivamente frequenta la scuola Magistrale. Nel 1967 raggiunge il padre, emigrato in Canada, e si trasferiscono a Montréal, dove ancora risiede insieme alla moglie Angelina Martino, sposata nel 1976.
