Download or read book Whereabouts written by Jhumpa Lahiri and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A marvelous new novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Lowland and Interpreter of Maladies about a woman questioning her place in the world, wavering between stasis and movement, between the need to belong and the refusal to form lasting ties. “Another masterstroke in a career already filled with them.” —O, the Oprah Magazine Exuberance and dread, attachment and estrangement: in this novel, Jhumpa Lahiri stretches her themes to the limit. In the arc of one year, an unnamed narrator in an unnamed city, in the middle of her life’s journey, realizes that she’s lost her way. The city she calls home acts as a companion and interlocutor: traversing the streets around her house, and in parks, piazzas, museums, stores, and coffee bars, she feels less alone. We follow her to the pool she frequents, and to the train station that leads to her mother, who is mired in her own solitude after her husband’s untimely death. Among those who appear on this woman’s path are colleagues with whom she feels ill at ease, casual acquaintances, and “him,” a shadow who both consoles and unsettles her. Until one day at the sea, both overwhelmed and replenished by the sun’s vital heat, her perspective will abruptly change. This is the first novel Lahiri has written in Italian and translated into English. The reader will find the qualities that make Lahiri’s work so beloved: deep intelligence and feeling, richly textured physical and emotional landscapes, and a poetics of dislocation. But Whereabouts, brimming with the impulse to cross barriers, also signals a bold shift of style and sensibility. By grafting herself onto a new literary language, Lahiri has pushed herself to a new level of artistic achievement.
Download or read book A Window on the Italian Female Modernist Subjectivity written by Rossella M. Riccobono and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays surveys some of the artistic productions by female figures who stood at the forefront of Italian modernity in the fields of literature, photography, and even the theatre, in order to explore how artistic engagement in women informed their views on, and reactions to the challenges of a changing society and a ‘disinhibiting’ intellectual landscape. However, one other objective takes on a central role in this volume: that of opening a window on the re-definition of the subjectivity of the self that occurred during an intriguing and still not fully studied period of artistic and societal changes. In particular, the present volume aims to define a female Italian Modernism which can be seen as complementary, and not necessarily in opposition, to its male counterpart.

Book excerpt: Ogni città è fatta di intrecci; meravigliosi, casuali incontri di uomini, luoghi, tradizioni, ricordi, dettagli. Gorizia è qui raccontata attraverso gli occhi di chi ha visto la propria vita sbocciarvi, senza cercarvi orgogli o campanilismi, senza la presunzione di insegnare storia o sociologia. Questi sono racconti, piccoli ritratti di persone, momenti, nostalgie, riflessioni, tutti presentati come tasselli di un mosaico che altro non è se non una piccola città di confine del nord-est italiano; luogo con i suoi perché e i suoi tratti peculiari che tuttavia - infondo - ricorda che la vita è grande per gli stessi motivi, in ogni luogo.

Download or read book Kitchen Table Wisdom written by Rachel Naomi Remen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I recommend this book highly to everyone." --Deepak Chopra, M.D. This special updated version of the New York Times-bestseller, Kitchen Table Wisdom, addresses the same spiritual issues that made the original a bestseller: suffering, meaning, love, faith, and miracles. "Despite the awesome powers of technology, many of us still do not live very well," says Dr. Rachel Remen. "We may need to listen to one another's stories again." Dr. Remen, whose unique perspective on healing comes from her background as a physician, a professor of medicine, a therapist, and a long-term survivor of chronic illness, invites us to listen from the soul. This remarkable collection of true stories draws on the concept of "kitchen table wisdom"-- the human tradition of shared experience that shows us life in all its power and mystery and reminds us that the things we cannot measure may be the things that ultimately sustain and enrich our lives.
Download or read book Su 25 Frogfoot Units In Combat written by Alexander Mladenov and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume details the technical features and operational performance of the Soviet Su-25 'Frogfoot', which proved itself as a durable and versatile attack aircraft in a variety of theatres such as Afghanistan, Georgia and Ossetia. Today it is widely accepted as the true successor to the types of specialised ground--attack aircraft that emerged during World War II. This book illuminates the service history of the 'Frogfoot' in over 30 years of combat using first-hand accounts and revealing archive photographs. The awkward-looking Su-25 has often been underrated, but the faithful 'Frogfoot' is now slated to remain in service with most of its current operators across the globe until at least 2020. This study explores the successes of the 'Frogfoot' in full, demonstrating its strengths as a formidably armed, armoured and very agile attack aircraft.
Download or read book Storie di donne e femministe written by Luisa Passerini and published by Rosenberg & Sellier. This book was released on 2024-05-08 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dalle femministe dell'Emilia Romagna alle ex-terroriste di Prima Linea e delle Brigate Rosse, molte protagoniste della storia italiana del secondo Novecento si affacciano in queste pagine. Le loro biografie e le loro parole, che avevano rimesso in discussione le idee comuni di emancipazione e di femminilità, mostrano i percorsi divergenti attraverso cui le donne avevano voluto affermarsi sulla scena pubblica. Il libro pone problemi essenziali per valutare retrospettivamente una politica e una storia delle donne: quali furono i punti di forza del femminismo degli anni settanta? Quali i suoi rapporti con i movimenti degli studenti e dei giovani che si affermarono intorno al '68? Qual è l'atteggiamento più fruttuoso da assumere in una ricerca sulla memoria femminista? Quali sono le implicazioni delle ricerche delle donne per le discipline storico-sociali? L'autrice si interroga sui modi e le forme della trasmissione del sapere, politico e quotidiano, tra diverse generazioni di donne e suggerisce percorsi aperti che tengano fermi due principi: restituire soggettività alle donne studiate e alle donne che studiano: trovare collegamenti tra la soggettività espressa dai movimenti femministi e quella vissuta dalle donne prima e intorno a loro. Questa riedizione, suggerita dall'attualità dei temi della trasmissione e dell'andamento carsico dei movimenti femministi, si arricchisce dell'introduzione di Chiara Bottici su "Femminismi perduti, storie ritrovate, genealogie ricostruite" e della "Rivisitazione" finale di Luisa Passerini.

Download or read book Creativity Inc The Expanded Edition written by Ed Catmull and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The co-founder and longtime president of Pixar updates and expands his 2014 New York Times bestseller on creative leadership, reflecting on the management principles that built Pixar’s singularly successful culture, and on all he learned during the past nine years that allowed Pixar to retain its creative culture while continuing to evolve. “Might be the most thoughtful management book ever.”—Fast Company For nearly thirty years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, and WALL-E, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner eighteen Academy Awards. The joyous storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Here, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques that have made Pixar so widely admired—and so profitable. As a young man, Ed Catmull had a dream: to make the first computer-animated movie. He nurtured that dream as a Ph.D. student, and then forged a partnership with George Lucas that led, indirectly, to his founding Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter in 1986. Nine years later, Toy Story was released, changing animation forever. The essential ingredient in that movie’s success—and in the twenty-five movies that followed—was the unique environment that Catmull and his colleagues built at Pixar, based on philosophies that protect the creative process and defy convention, such as: • Give a good idea to a mediocre team and they will screw it up. But give a mediocre idea to a great team and they will either fix it or come up with something better. • It’s not the manager’s job to prevent risks. It’s the manager’s job to make it safe for others to take them. • The cost of preventing errors is often far greater than the cost of fixing them. • A company’s communication structure should not mirror its organizational structure. Everybody should be able to talk to anybody. Creativity, Inc. has been significantly expanded to illuminate the continuing development of the unique culture at Pixar. It features a new introduction, two entirely new chapters, four new chapter postscripts, and changes and updates throughout. Pursuing excellence isn’t a one-off assignment but an ongoing, day-in, day-out, full-time job. And Creativity, Inc. explores how it is done.
