Peter von Danzig
This study traces the chequered history of Peter von Danzig, a French caravel which was inadvertently taken over by Gdańsk (Danzig). Beata Możejko charts the fluctuating and often dramatic fortunes of the caravel, from her arrival in Gdańsk as a merchantman in 1462 to her demise near La Rochelle in 1475. The author examines the caravel’s role as a warship during the Anglo-Hanseatic conflict, and her most famous operation, when she was used by Gdańsk privateer Paul Beneke to capture a Burgundian galley with a rich cargo that included Hans Memling’s Last Judgement triptych. Using literary and archival sources, Możejko provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the information available about the caravel and her colourful career.

Dangerous Fun
A thrilling ethnography of big wave surfing in Hawaii that explores the sociology of fun. Straight from the beaches of Hawaii comes an exciting new ethnography of a community of big-wave surfers. Oahu’s Waimea Bay attracts the world’s best big wave surfers—men and women who come to test their physical strength, courage, style, knowledge of the water, and love of the ocean. Sociologist Ugo Corte sees their fun as the outcome of social interaction within a community. Both as participant and observer, he examines how mentors, novices, and peers interact to create episodes of collective fun in a dangerous setting; how they push one another’s limits, nourish a lifestyle, advance the sport...
La Regola dell'Infermiera
Affondando le radici nella tradizione del movimento neorealista, Stefania Rega dirige con piglio moderno uno scorcio pregiato e delicato che guarda (con ammirazione) ai La Capria, ai De Sica, ai Luchino Visconti, in un substrato surrealista di assurdità felliniane, dentro un treno che viaggia inesorabile verso l’Italia (“perduta”) del nuovo secolo. Folle, fulmineo, enigmatico, “distaccato” da ogni possibile velleità commerciale ed esule da ogni semplicistica concessione di massa, un racconto fuori dal tempo per palati educatissimi.
