Vita di Giovanni Pirelli
Erede di una delle più importanti dinastie industriali d’Italia, Giovanni Pirelli (1918-1973) rifiuta il ruolo di imprenditore nell’azienda di famiglia per intraprendere un’altra strada, e dedicarsi alla scrittura. L’esordio narrativo è del 1952, con L’altro elemento, ma il risultato più rilevante è il romanzo A proposito di una macchina, del 1965. È in realtà l’intero mondo della cultura a interessarlo, di cui diventa presto uno dei protagonisti cruciali del Novecento: intellettuale complesso e affascinante, Giovanni imbocca percorsi insoliti e mai scontati, a cominciare dalla pubblicazione delle Lettere di condannati a morte della Resistenza (italiana ed europea, 1952 e 1...

Narrating the close-knit histories of industrial land, industrial elites, and the working class, the authors offer a novel understanding of land financialization as a “lived” process: the outcome of a relentless, socially embodied historical unfolding, in which shifts in land’s material, economic, and symbolic roles impact both local everyday lives and global capital flows.
A School for Diplomats
A School for Diplomats analyzes the Paris Peace Conference, the most important diplomatic conference of the 20th century, from the standpoint of four important junior members. Philip Kerr, Alberto Pirelli, Christian Herter, and Kurt von Lersner, all young, amateur diplomats, participated in the conference on a secondary level. This book is about what they did at the conference, what they learned, and how it affected their subsequent careers. The most important result of the conference might have been the education they received at Pads and its impact on their subsequent actions as international leaders during the decades following the conference.
