Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una storia sull’intolleranza e sulla paura del diverso. È la prima volta che gli abitanti di un piccolo borgo abbarbicato su una collina del Meridione d’Italia entrano in contatto con gente diversa da loro. Una famiglia di cinesi arriva in paese e, tra lo stupore generale e l’invidia, vi si impianta velocemente con un ristorante. Il sequestro e l’uccisione di un ragazzo da parte di un mafioso locale, per impedire la nascita di un’area di sviluppo industriale, lo spirito di abnegazione dei cinesi, la loro disponibilità di quattrini e l’acquisizione di una vecchia e gloriosa villa ai margini della campagna, l’adulterio di una donna del Nord, si intrecciano insieme e scatenano la cruda intolleranza dell’intera comunità, la quale si macchierà di un crimine orrendo.

Book excerpt: "The Ancient Hours […] packs a wallop" —New York Times Book Review "The Ancient Hours is brilliant.” —Bud Smith, author of Work "Bible is a fantastic writer." —Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here Harmony, North Carolina is a typical town—full of saints and sinners you can’t tell apart... Its history echoes with lynchings and shootings; mob violence and vigilante justice. But those are just whispers of a past lost to time. The summer of 2000 was different. Iggy in the Baptist church. Gasoline and a match. Twenty-five people dead. This, Harmony couldn’t forget. Told in a kaleidoscope of timelines and voices, Michael Bible examines every dimension of a tragic but all-too-American story in The Ancient Hours. The victims, witnesses, perpetrators, and condemned comingle and evolve as the passage of time works its way through their lives. What emerges is a fable of the American South in the highest tradition: soaring, tragic, and eternally striving for redemption.
Download or read book Hateship Friendship Courtship Loveship Marriage written by Alice Munro and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From Nobel Prize–winning author Alice Munro come nine short stories with “the intimacy of a family photo album and the organic feel of real life” (The New York Times) “In Munro’s hands, as in Chekhov’s, a short story is more than big enough to hold the world—and to astonish us, again and again.”—Chicago Tribune FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD • A TIME BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES’S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY In the nine breathtaking stories that make up this collection, Alice Munro creates narratives that loop and swerve like memory, conjuring up characters as thorny and contradictory as people we know ourselves. The fate of a strong-minded housekeeper with a “frizz of reddish hair,” just entering the dangerous country of old-maidhood, is unintentionally (and deliciously) reversed by a teenaged girl’s practical joke. A college student visiting her aunt for the first time and recognizing the family furniture stumbles on a long-hidden secret and its meaning in her own life. An inveterate philanderer finds the tables turned when he puts his wife into an old-age home. A young cancer patient stunned by good news discovers a perfect bridge to her suddenly regained future. A woman recollecting an afternoon’s wild lovemaking with a stranger realizes how the memory of that encounter has both changed for her and sustained her through a lifetime. Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage is Munro at her best—tirelessly observant, serenely free of illusion, deeply and gloriously humane.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Works of Giuseppe Verdi is the first critical edition of the composer’s oeuvre. Together with his operas, the series presents his songs, his choral music and sacred pieces, and his string quartet and other instrumental works. This edition of Messa da Requiem is based on Verdi’s autograph score and other original sources. The appendices include two pieces from the compositional history of the Requiem: an early version of the Libera me, composed in 1869 as part of a collaborative work planned as a memorial to Rossini; and the Liber scriptus, which in the original score of the Manzoni memorial Requiem was composed as a fugue for chorus. The introduction to the score traces the complex compositional and performance histories of the Requiem and discusses the work’s problems of instrumentation and notation, while the critical commentary gives a full description of the sources and an account of all editorial decisions.

Download or read book IL SOGNATORE DEL MONDO VERO written by Alessio Arzuffi and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-12-05 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carne, sangue, acciaio, plastica e tutti i materiali possibili e immaginabili: non solo, il mondo è fatto anche di idee. A volte, un'idea può cambiare il mondo. Non è un'ipotesi: è un dato di fatto. Ci sono idee che, come le stelle in cielo, illuminano la Terra per epoche intere. Come le stelle, le idee ogni tanto tramontano, e non è detto che, prima di scomparire per sempre, diventino nefasti buchi neri. Le idee possono salvare, ma anche uccidere.Il Sognatore del «Mondo vero» parte dall'idea che per Sigmund Freud sia possibile, sulla base della metodologia scientifica, arrivare a una Visione del mondo razionale, coerente, libera da millenarie illusioni. Ma la psicoanalisi può e deve essere ritenuta a tutti gli effetti -- scienza? Domanda di capitale importanza, se si pensa che il banco di prova sperimentale della verità della psicoanalisi sono i suoi pazienti, donne e uomini in carne e ossa...Un viaggio alle sorgenti del pensiero freudiano, alla luce di un'unica parola, antica quanto l'uomo: "libertà".

Download or read book Atti casuali di violenza insensata written by Jack Womack and published by MERIDIANO ZERO. This book was released on 2015-09-09 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come racconterebbe la propria discesa agli inferi una ragazzina di 12 anni? Così, come Lola in Atti casuali di violenza insensata la (de)scrive a Anne, il suo diario. Tutto comincia con fatti di ordinaria amministrazione: un padre che non trova a chi vendere le proprie sceneggiature e una madre traduttrice e insegnante che non riesce a lavorare se non a ritmi forsennati. Due sorelline in tenera età e una grande, grande città: New York. Eppure gli echi di una diffusa guerriglia urbana entrano di prepotenza all’interno del racconto che Lola scrive a Anne, il suo diario. Il presidente muore ammazzato, poi ne muore un secondo, la criminalità fa il paio con una fortissima crisi economica e sociale serpeggia una violenza alla Arancia Meccanica. Anche le amichette della scuola (privata) voltano la faccia a Lola quando i genitori sono costretti a trasferirsi in un quartiere popolare per mancanza di denaro. Pian piano Lola si trova a giocare a fare la dura e a entrare in gang di quartiere al femminile. L’amore per Iz, ragazza nera spigliata e combattiva, la trascina sempre più a fondo e ogni sera il coprifuoco viene anticipato… Un mondo distopico come un romanzo di Philip K. Dick che, come nella migliore letteratura fantascientifica assomiglia moltissimo al nostro, funestato dalla crisi. Piccoli elementi sempre più determinanti dipingono una situazione di violenza che non risparmia i bambini, neppure quelli delle “buone famiglie”.
