Dear Juliet
Real letters sent to the Shakespearean heroine in Verona, Italy—seeking guidance and sharing tales of the passion, pain, humor, and heartbreak of love. Every year, over ten thousand letters addressed to Juliet Capulet arrive in Verona, Italy, the famous hometown of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. These handwritten letters come from people all over the world, seeking guidance and support from Juliet herself. Capturing the pain, joy, humor, and confusion of love, the sixty letters in this book offer encouragement, comfort, hope—and a nod to the human condition. Including responses from Juliet herself (in the form of a group known as Juliet’s Secretaries), this romantic and relatable collection proves that love is the universal language.
Giacomo... Solo per amore
Questo libro è ispirato ad una storia reale, un eroe dei giorni nostri, un giovane uomo che ha scelto di sacrificare la propria vita per amore: GIACOMO SLEMER Medaglia d'Oro al Valor Civile. Ciò che stai iniziando a leggere è scritto con amore e gioia dalle persone che lo hanno conosciuto ed amato. Il Ferragosto 2012, nella splendida cornice del Garda, Giacomo per salvare la propria donna, con il coraggio che lo ha sempre distinto, si è tuffato nel vortice che la stava trascinando a fondo. Ma non pensare che sia un atto celebrativo, ogni singola parola è stata scritta con entusiasmo dai suoi stessi amici, con la volontà di raccontare il viaggio di un eroe.
Cuor di veneto
Per capire davvero un luogo bisognerebbe esserci nati. Stefano Lorenzetto è veneto, figlio orgoglioso di un popolo che fu per 1.100 anni nazione, e in questo libro ci racconta la controversa regione d'Italia attraverso le storie dei suoi poliedrici abitanti, eredi della repubblica più longeva che si ricordi sulla faccia della Terra. Partendo dalla sua esperienza personale di povertà e fatica, l'autore smonta molti stereotipi giornalistici, per arrivare alla conclusione che non l'Italia, bensì il Veneto, è una repubblica fondata sul lavoro: «Il lavoro non è nemmeno un dovere, per i veneti: è il senso stesso del vivere». I veneti che mugugnano ma sgobbano, che protestano contro la rap...
Comedy of Vanity & Life-terms
"'Comedy of Vanity, ' a dark satire on mass movements and narcissism, is a prophetic vision of fascism; in 'Life Terms' everybody in a new society is assigned the number of years he or she may live. Canetti's plays provide a missing link in the European dramatic heritage."--Publisher's description.
30 Great Myths about Shakespeare
Think you know Shakespeare? Think again . . . Was a real skull used in the first performance of Hamlet? Were Shakespeare's plays Elizabethan blockbusters? How much do we really know about the playwright's life? And what of his notorious relationship with his wife? Exploring and exploding 30 popular myths about the great playwright, this illuminating new book evaluates all the evidence to show how historical material—or its absence—can be interpreted and misinterpreted, and what this reveals about our own personal investment in the stories we tell.
Conundrums
Conundrum is a mind-stretch. Encrypting idioms into their typographic equivalents, Harry enlivens our everyday language and challenges readers to see that "time after time after time" or, at least, "more often than not" "the writing is on the wall." For fans of word puzzles, sudoku, crosswords, and all manner of mind games, Conundrum offers an artfully packaged, cleverly designed new challenge. Drawing upon, literally in this case, graphic puzzles that he began creating as a child, Harry's developed over 100 witty conundrums for this book that will stretch the mind as well as delight the senses. A member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale, a frequent lecturer and contributor to design discourse, an internationally recognized leader in design, and a founder of Lippa Pearce, one of the UK's most respected design agencies, Harry refines the way we see and communicate. Conundrum achieves nothing less than changing how we understand and interact with language.

Other important topics he discusses include the fol...
