Il vecchio sa di essere ormai giunto alle battute finali della propria vita. È troppo stanco per potersi muovere dalla poltrona su cui siede e la sua mente alterna frangenti di lucidità a lunghi momenti di totale confusione. Prima di abbandonare questa terra vuole però fare un’ultima cosa: rivivere tutta la sua esistenza a ritroso riassaporandone ogni istante e lasciando che le asole lungo cui far scorrere il filo dei ricordi sia rappresentato dalle sue “ultime volte” (l’ultima volta che ha fatto una certa cosa o provato un determinata sensazione). Nasce così una sorta di inusuale dialogo teatrale in tre atti in cui il vecchio mette completamente a nudo la propria storia, le prop...
Un gruppo di anziani e un gruppo di giovani si trovano a partecipare insieme ad una gita a Verona. Naturalmente gli obiettivi e gli scopi dei due gruppi sono diversi: gli anziani immaginano di visitare la città e di assistere ad un'opera all'Arena, i giovani anelano al Concerto di Vasco Rossi programmato per il giorno della visita. Nasceranno così scontri e incomprensioni superati grazie alla professionalità e pazienza degli organizzatori. La partenza in pullman dunque sembra serena ma… Le vicende e gli imprevisti del viaggio costringeranno i due gruppi ad una forzata e dolorosa convivenza durante la quale le differenze generazionali nei comportamenti, nelle aspettative e nello stesso l...
Among the Second Series of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, this volume has the most detailed coverage of his day-to-day life. These disciplined records of personal expenditures, and of various other daily observations, furnish valuable information about prices and availability of commodities of the period and provide abundant evidence of Jefferson's devotion to a systematic way of living and of his insatiable curiosity.

In Europe the social economy employs almost 15 million workers. During the crisis years, unlike other sectors, it has often generated an increase in jobs. The aim of this comparative study is to investigate how to allow the supply and demand for young people to meet in the different types of social economy bodies. In particular, it concentrates on the problem of how to bring into line initial university training and the skills required by these organizations. The focus is placed on the varied family of training workers present in at least 75% of the organizations, whose professionalism is nevertheless rarely acknowledged. The papers proposed in this book try to identify the most suitable solutions at the level of curriculum, career development and accompanying measures, while drawing solutions from objective findings and not from training system needs or convictions.
The Retirement Series documents Jefferson's written legacy between his return to private life on 4 March 1809 and his death on 4 July 1826. During this period Jefferson founded the University of Virginia and sold his extraordinary library to the nation, but his greatest legacy from these years is the astonishing depth and breadth of his correspondence with statesmen, inventors, scientists, philosophers, and ordinary citizens on topics spanning virtually every field of human endeavor.--From publisher description.
This 2000 volume was the first attempt at a comparative reconstruction of the foreign policy and diplomacy of the major Italian states in the early modern period. The various contributions reveal the instruments and forms of foreign relations in the Italian peninsula. They also show a range of different case-studies and models which share the values and political concepts of the cultural context of diplomatic practice in the ancien régime. While Venice, the Papal States, the duchy of Savoy, Florence (later the duchy of Tuscany), Mantua, Modena, and later the kingdom of Naples may be considered minor states in the broader European context, their diplomatic activity was equal to that of the major powers. This reconstruction of their ambassadors, their secretaries, and their ceremonies offers a fascinating interpretation of the political history of early modern Italy.
The description for this book, The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 21: Index, Vols. 1-20, will be forthcoming.
