The Decipherer - everything in the night
Remo’s story begins with a discover. Dreams are a force, a vital force, the most powerful force existing. When everyone in town, men, women, children, elders, lose their ability to dream, there is chaos. With the dreams also leaves the physical and mental health of each person. Fortunately for them Remo, with the trusty Roberto’s help, finds the cure to this sickness. The way to make people find their dreams again. It’s the story, the sharing, the act of villagers’ lost dreams. The catharsis completes itself with narration. The tale brings the reader in an abstract dimension, but at the same time near to feelings’ profound daily occurrence. Love, poetry but even the encounter with the other. Life on Earth and a trip to the moon. A path filled with symbols and cabal, of signs and combinations. A way to travel again and again, to find from time to time new points of view. In front of the reader there’s life, simultaneously simple and complicated. A life to be deciphered, like a dream. Daniele Quarello

Regimes of Happiness
'Regimes of Happiness' is a comparative and historical analysis of how human societies have articulated and enacted distinctive notions of human fulfillment, determining divergent moral, ethical and religious traditions, and incommensurate and conflicting understanding of the meaning of the ‘good life’. A two-part book, it provides a historical view of the way in which Western societies, the descendants of the Latin Roman Empire, created languages and institutions that established specifi c and occasionally antithetical conceptions of a fulfilled human life or ‘happiness’ in the first part. In the second part, it explores how non-Western societies and non-Christian religions have conceived and established their own ideals of human perfection. 'Regimes of Happiness' is a critical reflection on modern notions of happiness which are typically focused on individual feelings of pleasure.

This is a partial transposition of a 1979 book - Hearts that love - therefore we ask for forgiveness for not excellent quality of some pictures.

The Traveling Artist in the Italian Renaissance
This important and innovative book examines artists' mobility as a critical aspect of Italian Renaissance art. It is well known that many eminent artists such as Cimabue, Giotto, Donatello, Lotto, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian traveled. This book is the first to consider the sixteenth-century literary descriptions of their journeys in relation to the larger Renaissance discourse concerning mobility, geography, the act of creation, and selfhood. David Young Kim carefully explores relevant themes in Giorgio Vasari's monumental Lives of the Artists, in particular how style was understood to register an artist's encounter with place. Through new readings of critical ideas, long-standing regional prejudices, and entire biographies, The Traveling Artist in the Italian Renaissance provides a groundbreaking case for the significance of mobility in the interpretation of art and the wider discipline of art history.
Heirs of the Fisherman
The death of Pope John Paul II and consequent election of Pope Benedict XVI has shed light on a political process that the world has not been privy to for almost twenty-six years. People from around the world gathered in St. Peter's Square, wondering who the next Vatican leader would be and how the election process really worked, while everyone from international news correspondents to local priests added their own opinions to the debate. In Heirs of the Fisherman, former Vatican insider John-Peter Pham presents a candid portrait of the modern Vatican, the only account to reveal the striking changes to papal succession procedures made by John Paul II. Blending political and ecclesiastical hi...
