Da quasi due settimane Dorian vaga sperduto tra la boscaglia montana che circonda la Val Di Granso. Da quando scappato di casa, suo unico riferimento temporale resta l'alternarsi del giorno e della notte. Suo unico nutrimento il suo stesso corpo del quale inesorabilmente divora le riserve di grasso accumulate nei mesi trascorsi lontano da Miriam. Suo unico desiderio quello di perdere il peso di un ricordo cos sconvolgente come solo pu esserlo quello di una bambina, tramutatasi in pochi anni nella donna che una notte venne a lenire la febbre del corpo per trasmettergli quella incurabile dello spirito. E sebbene a Dorian la vita abbia riservato un futuro di alienazione e rinunce, e a Miriam uno di successi e di fama planetaria, sar la virt condivisa di comunicare attraverso l'armonia del silenzio, a riconciliare le loro angosce nel riflesso di un lago gelato dove i nomi degli uomini sono incisioni decidue su una lastra di ghiaccio.
Qualcosa da leggere su questo pianeta e sulle bizzarre follie di coloro che lo abitano. Una vasta e straordinaria raccolta di nomi piA' o meno noti che hanno lasciato la loro impronta eccentrica nella storia. Scienziati, artisti, nobili, papi, leader politici, gente comune e le loro fobie, i loro capricci, le idee squinternate, le compulsioni e le strane abitudini.

Taking into consideration the political and literary issues hanging upon the circulation of Machiavelli's works in England, this volume highlights how topics and ideas stemming from Machiavelli's books - including but not limited to the Prince - strongly influenced the contemporary political debate. The first section discusses early reactions to Machiavelli's works, focusing on authors such as Reginald Pole and William Thomas, depicting their complex interaction with Machiavelli. In section two, different features of Machiavelli's reading in Tudor literary and political culture are discussed, moving well beyond the traditional image of the tyrant or of the evil Machiavel. Machiavelli's historiography and republicanism and their influences on Tudor culture are discussed with reference to topical authors such as Walter Raleigh, Alberico Gentili, Philip Sidney; his role in contemporary dramatic writing, especially as concerns Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare, is taken into consideration. The last section explores Machiavelli's influence on English political culture in the seventeenth century, focusing on reason of state and political prudence, and discussing writers such as Henry Parker, Marchamont Nedham, James Harrington, Thomas Hobbes and Anthony Ascham. Overall, contributors put Machiavelli's image in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England into perspective, analyzing his role within courtly and prudential politics, and the importance of his ideological proposal in the tradition of republicanism and parliamentarianism.
We live in an age when the dominant technologically utilitarian worldview is undergoing a transformation. To increase our awareness of this change, Turning Toward Technology introduces readers to the possibility of an alternative technological worldview by examining foundational concepts to Asian thought.The early Eastern philosophical treatment of technology was not ethical, but ontological, exhibiting sensitivity to how human existence was defined and determined in its relation to technology and to reality as a whole. Within the Eastern cultural orientation, technological development was guided by a singular aesthetic sensibility to the useful, the good, the beautiful, the true, and the holy. Instead of controlling the shape of future technology by systems of rational management, George Teschner and Alessandro Tomasi recommend a view of technology that arises from questioning fundamental assumptions within Western culture about knowledge, reality, and human nature.Turning Toward Technology aims to stimulate awareness of an alternative technological paradigm, and thus a different mode of social action that can establish an optimistic future for global civilization.
Considered one of the most important and widely read novels ever written in the Italian language, "The Betrothed (I Promessi Sposi)" is Alessandro Manzoni's 1827 historical novel, which details the terribly oppressive rule of the Spanish over Italy in the early 1600s. At the center of the novel is the story of two young lovers, Renzo and Lucia, whose marriage is forbidden by the local baron, who wishes to wed the lovely Lucia himself. Forced to flee their homes, Renzo and Lucia are separated and must struggle against the ravages of war, famine, and the plague to be reunited again. While in essence a simple and affecting love story, "The Betrothed" is also a fascinating and detailed glimpse into a dramatic and tumultuous period in Italy's history. Famed for its depiction of young love, devotion, and fidelity, the novel is also noted for its incredibly realistic depictions of the real-life plague that ravaged Milan, as well as the subsequent bread shortages and violent unrest. Manzoni's "The Betrothed" is an epic Italian masterpiece. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

La Iniciativa para la Integraci n de la Infraestructura Regional Sudamericana (IIRSA) ha sido el mayor y m s ambicioso plan de integraci n log stica intermodal de Am rica del Sur. Inaugurado en el 2000 en la Cumbre de presidentes de Am rica del Sur de Brasilia, este plan se compone de 562 obras de infraestructura para acelerar el flujo de commodities mineras y agro-industirales, energ a y telecomunicaciones desde las enclaves extractivas de Am rica del Sur rumbo a los puertos oce nicos y a los mercados globales. Los corredores log sticos de la IIRSA han representado en las ltimas dos d cadas un sue o capitalista de alcance continental, impulsando la "aniquilaci n del espacio a trav s del tiempo" y transformando territorios y biomas enteros, como los Andes o la Amazonia, ricos de pueblos heterog neos y diversos, de riquezas naturales y biodiversidad, en fuentes de extracci n de ganancias para un conjunto muy reducido de empresas multinacionales constructoras o extractivas, bancos, y fondos de inversi n. En esta obra, Alessandro Peregalli analiza el gigantesco proyecto de infraestructura de la IIRSA de una manera innovadora, no limit ndose a describir las disputas geopol ticas que se han jugado en torno a ella, desde su fundaci n en el marco del rea de Libre Comercio de las Am ricas (ALCA) hasta su crecimiento asociado a la Uni n de Naciones Sudamericanas (UNASUR), sino que evidenciando en sus l gicas subterr neas el esp ritu profundo del actual capitalismo de las supply chains la racionalidad "log stica" del capital.
