You Are Lucky, Luciano
Luciano Iorizzo's autobiography has, at its core, a message of hope and optimism. It is a story that begins at a time, the early 1930's, and in a place, Brooklyn, where everyday life in the rough and tumble Italian ghetto cancelled the aspirations of many a talented and intelligent youth. As his life takes shape, page after page, Luciano takes you from the hardscrabble streets of Park Slope during the Depression to army life overseas, to the stateside world of providing for his young family while pursuing a college degree, and finally, to the quiet roads of a sleepy college town in upper New York State. What begins in the ethnic confines of his Italian heritage grows through experiences very...
Eduard Meyer
Eduard Meyer (1855-1930) was among the most important historians of his age. After Mommsen he is the best known German ancient historian. From 1902 he taught ancient history in Berlin and from 1919/20 he was vice-chancellor. His most important work "Geschichte des Altertums" includes the ancient oriental cultures, contains a sociological- anthropological methodology and considers all humane studies, especially religious history. This collection treats aspects of Meyer's biography - including his journey to America, his relations with his contemporaries (M. Weber, O. Spengler, U.von Wilamowitz), his university politics, his role in the First World War, his positions on Christianity and Judaism, history of philosophy, and particular research results and their effect.

Tucidide
L'Atene delle pagine di Luciano Canfora è una città nervosa, opaca, attraversata da tensioni e conflitti. Una città tutta politica, in cui anche quello di storico è un mestiere pericoloso: così emerge dalle vicende di Tucidide (e Senofonte), che Canfora ricostruisce con piglio investigativo, ritornando con nuovi argomenti alla vera vicenda dello storico ateniese. Mauro Bonazzi, "Corriere della Sera" Un paradosso: Tucidide è l'artefice della storiografia ma la sua storia è avvolta dal mistero. Di certo sappiamo che narrò la grande guerra tra Atene e Sparta, ma il suo racconto s'interrompe proprio nell'anno del colpo di Stato (411 a.C.), quando gli amici oligarchi arrivano al potere. Che ne fu di lui? Le pagine di Canfora sono definitive. Simonetta Fiori, "la Repubblica" Chi è Tucidide? Il bravo generale punito da Ateniesi esasperati e folli oppure un uomo che sapientemente occulta le proprie responsabilità? È un incompetente mentitore o la vittima di una colossale, inspiegabile ingiustizia, culminata in una improbabile condanna a morte? Luciano Canfora attacca la leggenda tucididea per ricostruire la vera figura e la vera sorte che toccò al padre della storiografia.
Gender, Mediation, and Popular Education in Venice, 1760–1830
Gender, Mediation, and Popular Education in Venice, 1760–1830 examines how women with enough cultural capital could turn their identity as representatives of "the public" – those on the receiving end of education – to their advantage, producing knowledge under the guise of relaying it. Author Susan Dalton looks at the question of how elite women turned their reputation for ignorance into an opportunity to establish themselves as authors at the dawn of the nineteenth century in Venice. Many literary figures saw women as a group in need of education. By deploying essentialist understandings of femininity, whereby women possessed superior moral virtue but deficient rationality, these wome...
