Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to conventional wisdom, Italy was not an influential participant in the nationalistic and imperialistic discourses that world's fairs produced in countries such as Great Britain, France, and the United States. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, however, Italy hosted numerous national and international exhibitions expounding notions of national identity, imperial expansion, technological progress, and capitalist growth. World's Fairs Italian-Style explores world's fairs in Italy at the turn of the twentieth century in comparison to their more famous counterparts in France, England, and the United States. Cristina Della Coletta demonstrates that, because of its social fragmentation and hybrid history, Italy was a site of both hegemony and subordination – an aspiring imperial power whose colonization started from within. She focuses on two best-selling authors, Emilio Salgari and Guido Gozzano, and illustrates how these authors interpreted their age's 'exposition mentality.' Salgari and Gozzano's exposition narratives, Della Coletta argues, reveal Italy's uncertainties about own sense of national identity, and its belated commitment to Western imperialism. Of interest to students and scholars of literature, cultural history, and Italian, World's Fairs Italian-Style provides a fascinating glimpse into a hitherto unexplored area of study, and brings to light a cultural phenomenon that played a significant role in shaping Italy's national identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cura di Sergio Campailla Edizione integrale Sandokan, la Tigre della Malesia, l’eroe salgariano per eccellenza, ritorna in questo romanzo nel ruolo di vendicatore degli oppressi, più invincibile e invulnerabile che mai. Con il fido Yanez, la Tigre della Malesia decide di muoversi per liberare il prode Tremal-Naik, bengalese che ama Ada ed è prigioniero di Lord James Brooke, il despota inglese nemico mortale dei pirati malesi. La lotta fra Sandokan e il «rajah bianco» di Sarawak costituisce il leitmotiv di un avvincente romanzo in cui Salgari raggiunge il massimo equilibrio fra la trama avventurosa, le vicende sentimentali e le azioni guerresche. «Alta era la sua fronte, scintillante lo sguardo, sottili le labbra, atteggiate ad un sorriso indefinibile, magnifica la barba che dava ai suoi lineamenti un certo che di fiero che incuteva ad un tempo rispetto e paura. Nell’insieme, s’indovinava che quell’uomo possedeva la ferocia di una tigre, l’agilità di un quadrumane e la forza di un gigante.» Emilio Salgari (Verona 1862 – Torino 1911) compì l’apprendistato letterario collaborando a diversi giornali, come «La Nuova Arena», presso cui pubblicò anche i suoi primi racconti. Raggiunse un vastissimo successo di pubblico con una lunga serie di romanzi d’avventura ambientati in paesaggi esotici e centrati su eroi come Sandokan e il Corsaro Nero. Ma gli ultimi anni della sua vita furono tragici: le precarie condizioni economiche, la cattiva salute, la perdita progressiva dell’ispirazione narrativa e infine il ricovero della moglie in manicomio ridussero lo scrittore alla disperazione, fino al gesto drammatico con cui pose termine ai suoi giorni. Di Salgari la Newton Compton ha pubblicato Le Tigri di Mompracem, Il Corsaro Nero e Sandokan. I pirati della Malesia, e nella collana “I Mammut” Tutte le avventure di Sandokan.
