A Darker Shade of Sweden
Stories by Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell, and over a dozen other masters of Nordic noir: “A wonderful collection” (Camilla Lӓckberg). Ever since Stieg Larsson shone a light on Swedish crime writing with his Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, readers around the world have devoured fiction by Scandinavian masters of suspense. A Darker Shade of Sweden includes an assortment of outstanding crime fiction—never before published in English and in some cases brand-new to this volume—from Larsson and a wide range of other talents including Henning Mankell, the creator of Kurt Wallander; Åsa Larsson; Eva Gabrielsson; Inger Frimansson; Åke Edwardson; Sara Stridsberg; Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö; and more. Also included is an introduction by Edgar nominee John-Henri Holmberg, exploring the history of these stellar authors and their contributions to crime writing. “Gripping. . . . These unsettlingly dark tales reaffirm the dominance of Swedish writers with original crime fiction.” —The Sun (UK)
Giovanni Bellini: An Introduction
An accessible guide to the foremost figure in Venetian Renaissance painting, tracing Bellini's personal artistic development within historical context Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini (c. 1435/40-1516) is considered the most important practitioner of Venetian painting in the latter half of the 15th century. Born into a family of painters, Bellini began studying art at a young age, painting primarily in the prevailing Gothic style of the early Renaissance. As time passed and he evolved as an artist, Bellini's wide-reaching influence came to inform the maniera modernainherited by Giorgione and Titian. His unparalleled ability to both harness the expressive power of light and recreat...
Puccini
Puccini's operas are among the most popular and widely performed in the world, yet few books have examined his body of work from an analytical perspective. This volume remedies that lack in lively prose accessible to scholars and opera enthusiasts alike.
Tintoretto
"Considered one of the three greatest painters of sixteenth-century Venice, along with Titian and Veronese, Tintoretto was a bold innovator. His free, expressive brushwork made his work look unfinished to contemporaries but is now recognized as a key step in the development of oil-on-canvas painting. Even today's audiences are astonished by the superhuman scale, painterly dynamism, and visionary qualities of his work. On the 500th anniversary of Tintoretto's birth, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of his career and achievement, with fifteen essays and reproductions of more than 140 paintings--many newly conserved--as well as a selection of his finest drawings. One special contribution is a focus on the artist's portraiture" -- Library of Congress.

The Figure of Knowledge
It is a major challenge to write the history of post-WWII architectural theory without boiling it down to a few defining paradigms. An impressive anthologising effort during the 1990s charted architectural theory mostly via the various theoretical frameworks employed, such as critical theory, critical regionalism, deconstructivism, and pragmatism. Yet the intellectual contours of what constitutes architectural theory have been constantly in flux. It is therefore paramount to ask what kind of knowledge has become important in the recent history of architectural theory and how the resulting figure of knowledge sets the conditions for the actual arguments made. The contributions in this volume focus on institutional, geographical, rhetorical, and other conditioning factors. They thus screen the unspoken rules of engagement that postwar architectural theory ascribed to.
Amar
Amar è un uomo che ha moglie e figli e vive seguendo i precetti di Ben Maimon, filosofo, teologo e medico ebreo andaluso, noto nel mondo latino come Maimonide. Siamo poco dopo l’anno Mille e Amar, insieme alla moglie e ai figli, vive in accordo con gli insegnamenti del maestro cercando di aiutare gli altri; finché, come in un maleficio, si trova a dover affrontare la morte dei figli, uno dopo l’altro. Quando anche l’ultima chiude gli occhi, Ben Maimon gli assicura, con parole che alle orecchie di Amar suonano come una beffa, che sarà l’ultima. Ed è così che Amar decide di chiedere a Dio di sollevarlo dalla morte, di allontanarlo dalla morte, di non farlo morire. Che cosa imparer...

When Sustainability meets Culture
L’Italia, con il suo immenso patrimonio di arte e cultura, costituisce un terreno straordinario per la sperimentazione di nuove pratiche di sostenibilità all’insegna del fattore culturale. Il XIII Rapporto dell’Associazione Civita sviluppa una riflessione proprio su questo ambito strategico sia per l’impresa che per l’organizzazione culturale contemporanee. In questi tempi ibridi e turbolenti, in cui gli attori economici e sociali sono alla ricerca di nuovi equilibri e punti di ancoraggio solidi e condivisi, è frequente rilevare come la sostenibilità sia parte integrante degli approcci manageriali di aziende alla ricerca di un’armonia fra profitto economico e generazione di ...
