The Mockery Bird
The Mockery Bird takes place on a tropical island called Zenkali. The island seems to be populated by the most eccentric people who came there from all around the world, along with the two indigenous tribes, the Fangoua and the Ginka. The Ginkas used to worship a dolphin god, while the Fangouas worshipped a strange avian, the Mockery Bird, which was hunted to extinction by the former French colonizers. Zenkali is ruled by King Tamalawala III, usually referred to as "Kingy" by his people. Peter Foxglove arrives to Zenkali to be the assistant of Hannibal Oliphant, Kingy's Political Advisor. Zenkali, once a British colony, is about to get self-government. They are also planning to construct a m...
Catalogo Neri Pozza 2000-2015
Le pagine che seguono illustrano gli ultimi quindici anni di attività della Neri Pozza. Alla vigilia delle celebrazioni per il settantesimo anno di vita delle nostre edizioni – nel 2016 Neri Pozza Editore compie 70 anni– abbiamo deciso di riassumere in un catalogo la forma nuova che ha assunto il progetto che, nel 1946, spinse Neri Pozza a fondare a Venezia una casa editrice che desse voce alle nuove «idee d’arte e poesia» che cominciavano ad affiorare nel dopoguerra, e che avrebbero fatto di quella stagione letteraria una delle più importanti nella storia del nostro paese. Consideriamo i nostri ultimi quindici anni, qui riassunti nelle pagine di un catalogo, una forma nuova dell’antico progetto letterario di Neri Pozza e consideriamo noi stessi una nuova versione del lavoro editoriale come progetto letterario, interamente inserita nel proprio tempo. (dall’introduzione del Direttore editoriale, Giuseppe Russo).

The Politics of Spirituality
Spirituality, according to William Stringfellow, represents the ordinary experience of partaking in politics - the activity of the Word of God in judgment over all that belongs to human history. He criticizes religiosity, advocating instead for a biblical holiness that implies wholeness for all creation. He takes a prophetic and somber view of the present dark ages, characterized as they are by hypocrisy, profligate consumption, disregard for human life, and dependence on nuclear force. Speaking from a lifetime of experience and reflection, Stringfellow issues a call to conscience and sanity, a reaffirmation of the incarnation, and belief in the grace of the Word of God who transcends the injustice of the present age and agitates the resilience of those who struggle to expose and rebuke injustice.
Preaching the Just Word
Arguing why biblical justice - not merely ethical/legal justice - should be applied to matters concerning the poor, the oppressed and the marginalized, the author of this text suggests that everyone is responsible for these people, since they are involved in a covenant with God.

The Road to Joy
The second volume of Thomas Merton's letters is devoted to his correspondence with friends -- relatives and family friends, longtime friends, special friends, young people he regarded as new friends, and circular letters addressed to groups of friends. They range from 1931, ten years before he became a monk, to 1968, the year in which he died at a monastic conference in Thailand.
