Quest'anno 2017 cade il 150 anniversario dell'impresa di Mentana del 1867, che vide protagonisti l'esercito di Garibaldi nel tentativo di espugnare Roma. Con l'occasione si sono volute pubblicare alcune memorie di garibaldini che narrano di questa vicenda e in particolare della spedizione che part proprio da Terni. Il libro redatto da Vincenzo Pirro nel 2007 non vide mai la luce. Nel 2009 venne pubblicato un volume intitolato "Per Garibaldi", dove presente la prefazione di questo volume "Correva l'anno" e alcuni saggi proprio dedicati alla memorialistica garibaldina tra cui il pi importante per Terni quello di Augusto Mezzetti. Il libro ebbe scarsa diffusione proprio perch pubblicato pochi giorni prima della scomparsa del Suo curatore Vincenzo Pirro (Maggio 2009). L'idea di fondo rimane la stessa promuovere diffondere fra le nuove generazioni il ricordo di quegli eventi e il fondamentale contributo che dette Terni alla causa risorgimentale e alla fondazione dello Stato unitario.
Following the border formed by the Rio Grande and moving cross-country to the Pacific Ocean, Frontera is a lavishly illustrated book that offers a comprehensive examination of the nearly two thousand-mile border shared by the United States and Mexico. The region has a reputation for being a dangerous place, with US Border Patrol and Mexican authorities playing cat and mouse with smugglers and undocumented migrants, and with drug cartels inflicting unspeakable violence on the region. Frontera takes an unblinking look at those dangers, but it goes beyond stereotypes and offers the reader vivid portraits of the beauty and complexity of the area—its history, its contemporary attractions, its rich cultural life. Moving through thirty-eight municipalities on the Mexican side and twenty-four counties in the US, Frontera includes maps, key cities, points of interest, border crossings, festivals, local cuisines, and more, along with analyses of local politics and security issues. Despite its troubles, the US-Mexico border is a beautiful place, the home of welcoming and warm people. It is a land of contrasts—austere landscapes and lush oases, thunderstorms and rainbows in the desert, robust industry and ghost towns, great wealth and aching poverty. Frontera is both a feast for the eyes and an encyclopedic reference that offers readers a clear-eyed perspective on a subject of critical importance to the United States and its southern neighbor.

Sergio es una de las ltimas novelas de Mujica L inez, que permanec a in dita en Espa a. Por si esto no avalase ya su publicaci n, es quiz , como nos advierte Luis Antonio de Villena en el pr logo, la que inaugure su ltimo periodo narrativo, mucho m s juguet n, pero no por ello exento de la agudeza que caracteriza, con la elegancia, toda su literatura. Adem s, Sergio trata un asunto capital en la obra de del gran novelista bonaerense: la belleza, y esta como un fen meno deslumbrante para quienes la contemplan cuanto atormentador para quien la posee; tanto es as que la belleza se alza en Sergio como el nico acontecimiento que dota de sentido al anodino y hosco trasiego de la vida. El argumento cuenta los avatares de un joven, Sergio Londres, codiciado por su belleza por diversos personajes para su exclusiva posesi n. Ante lo que no puede sino huir hasta encontrar el sosiego en otro ser tan hermoso como l, Juan Malthus. Al punto que todos los jocosos cuanto pat ticos enredos, en los que se ve envuelto el protagonista, abocan en el amor como soluci n; y en el caso de Sergio Londres, en el amor homosexual.

I know my reckoning is coming though. I know I'll burn for the things I've done, the sins I've committed. And I don't deny hell is where I belong, but I want my time first. I want my time with her. She's mine.Forever.No matter what. Author's Note: Sergio is an emotional romance set in the Benedetti Mafia world. It is not a traditional romance. It is recommended that you read both Salvatore: a Dark Mafia Romance and Dominic: a Dark Mafia Romance before reading Sergio's story.
Spectacle, myth, fable - these words instantly leap to mind when considering director Sergio Leone's celebrated films. His popularization of the Spaghetti Western genre, through works like A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), continues to have a profound impact on filmmakers worldwide. In this exciting new study, Italian film scholar Christian Uva explores a side of Leone's works rarely before discussed: the political. Grappling with the contradictions between Leone's politically critical cinematic eye and his aversion to ideological classification, Sergio Leone: Cinema as Political Fable makes sense of how the director's internal political tensions shaped the radical themes of his Western fables. Looking at Leone and his films through a number of lenses, the book examines the elements of Italian history and identity interwoven in the director's stories, provides cultural context for a career spanning from Italy's fascist regime to Leone's death in 1989, and discusses the influences that formed Leone's directorial identity. Uva focuses in particular on the postmodernist theory behind Leone's works, revealing the critical basis of his stylistic and narrative innovations and newly analyzing the most iconic sequences from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1967), Duck, You Sucker (1971), and Once Upon a Time in America (1984). An admirably thorough take on the man and his works, Sergio Leone: Cinema as Political Fable provides fresh perspective on a director long-established in cinema canon.

Sergio Larrain (1931–2012) crossed the photographic universe like a meteorite. After much travelling, his concern for purity and his attraction to meditation led him to withdraw to the Chilean countryside and live self- sufficiently. From there he began to write – concerned as he was about the need to encourage the world to wake up to its possible fate – while continuing in his deep love of photography. His work became limited to instants of enlightenment, pure moments of amazement. Sergio Larrain only published four books of his work during his lifetime, and a complete monograph of his work has never been put together. It was his choice, but this book fills that gap. Created with the full agreement of his family, it is edited by Agnès Sire, who after keeping up a long correspondence with the photographer, has worked with Magnum on preserving his estate. The selection of over 200 photographs is made up of two main axes, Latin America and Europe: Macchu Pichu, Bolivia, Chile and Valparaiso; and London, Paris and Italy. A true reflection of Larrain’s extraordinary personality, the book also features a selection of essential letters, drawings, workbooks and handwritten texts about meditation.
Chilean photographer Sergio Larrain (1931–2012) published very few books during his lifetime, but perhaps the most fêted among them was Valparaíso. He photographed this Chilean seaport throughout his career, but it was in the early 1960s, when he returned to his homeland after travelling the world for many years as a Magnum photographer, that it became a focus for his attention. He saw it as ‘a rather sordid yet romantic city’, standing between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, falling into a slow decline as its trading importance faded away, yet still retaining hints of beauty and magic. Now published in English for the first time with an introduction by Agnès Sire as well as a specially written text by Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda, this new edition of Valparaíso is based on a layout that Larrain designed in 1993, in response to the original French edition of 1991. It also includes a selection of previously unpublished photographs taken between 1952 and 1992, expanding the original 36 images to a total of 120. This intimate book features handwritten notes and texts by the artist himself, allowing us to share his singular vision of the world and its moments of grace.
In 1958, Sergio Larrain’s photographs of a smoggy, down-at-heel London captured an extraordinarily powerful vision of the city. Larrain's London is a fast-moving blur of activity. He revealed the signs of the emergence of a new, post-war London society – in its streets, parks, pubs and clubs – and captured the class divisions, the burgeoning fashions of its youth, and the everyday life of Londoners about to enter a new decade: the Sixties. The photographs brought Larrain to the attention of Henri Cartier-Bresson, who immediately signed him to Magnum Photos. This edition comprises the entire series including around forty previously unseen images from the archives of Magnum Photos. These powerful photographs conjure up the mood of a coal-fired, smoke-laden London that has long since disappeared.With 94 illustrations
