SARBA CA TRUOVI (Salviamo la nostra memoria)
Le memorie di un piccolo comune montano della Sicilia. Ovvero le memorie dei suoi 100 e più Autori.
The Late Mattia Pascal
Mattia Pascal endures a life of drudgery in a provincial town. Then, providentially, he discovers that he has been declared dead. Realizing he has a chance to start over, to do it right this time, he moves to a new city, adopts a new name, and a new course of life—only to find that this new existence is as insufferable as the old one. But when he returns to the world he left behind, it's too late: his job is gone, his wife has remarried. Mattia Pascal's fate is to live on as the ghost of the man he was. An explorer of identity and its mysteries, a connoisseur of black humor, Nobel Prize winner Luigi Pirandello is among the most teasing and profound of modern masters. The Late Mattia Pascal, here rendered into English by the outstanding translator William Weaver, offers an irresistible introduction to this great writer's work
Gramsci and Foucault: A Reassessment
Mapping the resonances, dissonances, and linkages between the thought of Gramsci and Foucault to uncover new tools for socio-political and critical analysis for the twenty-first century, this book reassesses the widely-held view that their work is incompatible. With discussions of Latin American revolutionary politics, indigenous knowledges, technologies of government and the teaching of paediatrics in post-invasion Iraq, complexity theory, medical anthropology and biomedicine, and the role of Islam in the transition to modern society in the Arab world, this interdisciplinary volume presents the latest theoretical research on different facets of these two thinkers’ work, as well as analyses of the specific linkages that exist between them in concrete settings. A rigorous, comparative exploration of the work of two towering figures of the twenty-first century, Gramsci and Foucault: A Reassessment will appeal to scholars and students of social and political theory, political sociology, communication and media studies, and contemporary philosophy.
Il cappello del prete
Un best-seller di fine ottocento. Nello scenario di Napoli e della sua periferia De Marchi colloca la storia di un delitto. I due protagonisti, U barone e U prevete, sono entrambi esseri abbietti: l'assassino è il barone Carlo Coriolano di Santafusca, un nobile decaduto vizioso, dissoluto e dedito alle pratiche più immorali accennate, sia pure piuttosto pudicamente, nel capitolo intitolato "L'orgia" dove, tra l’altro, si legge che l’ "onda bionda e spumosa" della Sciampagna "spruzzò i seni delle ragazze" e dove "donne sdraiate e seminude [...] fumavano le loro sigarette"; ma oltre a ciò il nobile libertino è anche un darwiniano e acceso materialista, ma anche forte del suo privilegiato ruolo sociale per ritenersi al di sopra della giustizia e delle leggi dello stato. L'assassinato invece è don Cirillo, un prete ricchissimo grazie al lotto e all'usura, pure chiacchierato perché i numeri giusti per vincere al lotto li dà alla bella moglie del cappellaio... Sono in scena, insomma, due squallidi personaggi che rappresentano il peggio della nobiltà e della chiesa, gli istinti più meschini e sfrenati.
Majorana Case, The: Letters, Documents, Testimonies
'The Majorana Case is beautifully written, with a pleasant style, and concatenates a great deal of material. A text that could only be written by those who know the life and work of Ettore Majorana very well, as Prof Recami. The book traces the extraordinary life of Ettore Majorana — through his letters, documents and several testimonies from his friends and family members. What makes it more fascinating is that the author presented it also as a detective-story, by exploring his mysterious disappearance at young age. The personal testimonies also give to the book a welcome surplus. The Majorana Case, therefore, is both a pleasant biography and a mystery book.'Contemporary PhysicsEttore Maj...
Tonight is Already Tomorrow
The tragic history of mid-century Europe told through the lives of ordinary people 1938. Thirty-two countries convene to decide how to deal with the influx of Jews fleeing Nazi Germany and Austria. Good intentions abound, but no government is willing to accept the refugees. At the same time, Fascist Italy is introducing its infamous racial laws. In this new, stirring novel Lia Levi portrays Italy's tragic past through the story of a Jewish family, plagued by doubts, passions, weaknesses, impulses, and betrayals. Set in Genoa in the years of the racial laws, the novel follows a would-be genius son, a disappointed, regretful mother, a wise but irresolute father, an eccentric grandfather, nosy uncles, cousins who are always coming and going. How do individuals face the darkest periods of history? Will anyone rebel against the spread of violence and discrimination? Will anyone welcome them if this family flees certain persecution? A harrowing story that resonates with special urgency in our time.
