A Companion to the Works of Hermann Hesse
Today, forty years after Timothy Leary's suggestion that hippies read Hermann Hesse while "turning on," Hesse is once again receiving attention: faced with ubiquitous materialism, war, and ecological disaster, we discover that these problems have found universal expression in the works of this master storyteller. Hesse explores perennial themes, from the simple to the transcendental. Because he knows of the awkwardness of adolescence and the pressures exerted on us to conform, his books hold special appeal for young readers and are taught widely. Yet he is equally relevant for older readers, writing about the torment of a psyche in despair, or our fear of the unknown. All these experiences a...
L'incendio della montagna blu
Un celebre dipinto di Cézanne, assicurato per milioni di euro, scompare in un incendio nei pressi di Saint-Moritz. Firmat, presidente della Galleria d'arte Newton, deve fronteggiare il disastro. Nello stesso tempo conosce Irene, una donna affascinante ma per lui incomprensibile. Le due storie, quella di Irene e quella del quadro della Montagna Blu, si confondono in un drammatico alternarsi di verità e menzogna, formando un groviglio inestricabile, nel quale Firmat si getta con tutte le sue forze, fino a che la realtà tormentosa di entrambe le vicende gli si manifesterà completamente.

Ennio Flaiano and His Italy
Disenthralling Ourselves portrays contemporary Israel in a process of transition. Jewish-Israeli and Palestinian-Israeli communities share a nation-state divided by the separate truths of its conflicting fundamental narratives. This book considers ways of converting those separate and antagonistic narratives from fuel for conflict to seeds of change. Its purpose is to undo the convenient coherence of collective memory and master narratives through fostering a capacious moral imagination able to apprehend diverse, even contentious, stories and truths. Contemporary Israel functions as a case study in an in-depth and interdisciplinary exploration of conflict resolution, viewing Jewish-Israeli a...
