'All the books published by a certain publisher could be seen as links in a single chain'In this fascinating memoir and manifesto the author and publisher Roberto Calasso meditates on the art of book publishing. With his signature erudition and polemical flair, Calasso transcends Adelphi to look at the publishing industry as a whole, from the essential importance of graphics, jackets and cover flaps to the consequences of universal digitization. And he outlines what he describes as the 'most hazardous and ambitious' profile of what a publishing house can be: a book comprising many books, akin to that of other twentieth-century publishers, from Giulio Einaudi to Roger Straus, of whom the book offers brief portraits.

El primer encuentro con Chichita, en París, en abril de 1962, es, junto con su participación en la Resistencia y su entrada en la editorial Einaudi, uno de los momentos que Italo Calvino identificó como cruciales en su vida. Argentina de nacimiento, traductora en la Unesco y en la Agencia Internacional de la Energía Atómica, culta, imaginativa y brillante, Esther Judith Singer, más conocida como Chichita, se convertiría en 1964 en la esposa del escritor. La correspondencia entre ambos cuando son casi unos desconocidos, brinda a Calvino la oportunidad de presentarse y, a lo largo de los meses, ofrecerle a su interlocutora un autorretrato íntimo.Esta edición, a cargo de su hija, recoge las cartas que Italo le envió a la que sería su mujer, junto con un texto inédito que data de la misma época y una de las respuestas de Chichita.El resultado es el fresco de una vida cotidiana rica y polifacética: los inevitables malentendidos de la comunicación a distancia, la an

From the hills of Napa to the mountain slopes of Tuscany, author Nick Wise went in search of great wine and famous people who are also winemakers. His astonishing trip, the wines he tasted and the incredible people he met are recounted in loving and often humorous detail in this fully illustrated new book. Nick Wise journeyed to Central and Northern California and interviewed winemakers including film director Francis Ford Coppola and the Walt Disney family. In Canada, he interviewed actor Dan Ackroyd and in the hills of Tuscany, world-renowned composer Ludovico Einaudi. He also visited Spain where he toured Anta Banderas, the winery of actor Antonio Banderas. He includes an opening essay on America's first vintner, Thomas Jefferson, whose Monticello estate is still producing wine from the grapes that the third President of America planted over 200 years ago. The story of Nick's journey through wine country is filled with adventure, new discoveries, amazing people and, most important, brilliant wines (and some not so brilliant). Written for fans of wine, travel and the rich and famous, Celebrity Vineyards is a fascinating journey into a world that, for most of us, is only a dream.

De padres italianos, Italo Calvino nació en Cuba y vivió en Italia y en París, conoció mundo y tomó nota de él. Fue partisano, viajero y escrutador; político " sui generis " , idólatra del lenguaje y la metaficción y naturalista diletante; erudito, inconformista y soñador; pero por encima de todo fue un lector integral que se convirtió a la vez en editor de Einaudi y en escritor de éxito.Como un mago de la alquimia, Calvino atravesó todos los estados de la materia narrativa, del estado sólido del neorrealismo al estado líquido de la fábula y el cuento fantástico, y por fin al estado gaseoso de la filosofía con la que concluye la última obra que publicó en vida, ese prodigio de sensibilidad titulado " Palomar " .

Lina Bolzoni's impressive study of the memory culture of sixteenth-century Italy appears here for the first time in English translation. Since its original incarnation as La stanza della memoria: Modelli letterari e iconografici nell'età della stampa, published by Einaudi of Torino in 1995, Bolzoni's study has been praised by critics and ranked with the classic texts in its field - those by Paolo Rossi, Frances Yates and Mary Carruthers. The book takes as its starting point a striking paradox: that the antique tradition of the art of memory - created by an oral culture - reached its moment of greatest diffusion during an age that saw the birth of the printed book. Bolzoni's examination of this phenomenon, in which archaic and modern elements came together in a precarious equilibrium, reveals the profound ties that existed at the time between memory and creativity, and between words and images. Drawing on the multiplicity of practices that relied on techniques of memory, Bolzoni presents diagrams, cipher alphabets, rebuses and emblemlike pictures characteristic of the late-Medieval and early-modern periods, indicating their use for literary games and preaching. In doing so, she skilfully reconstructs a particular mentality, a way of apprehending words and images that was of central importance for a long period of time but that has since been forgotten.

Los amores difíciles: definición irónica, cierto, porque cuando se trata de amor ?o de amores?, las dificultades son muy relativas. O al menos, lo que está en el origen de muchos de estos relatos es una dificultad de comunicación, una zona de silencio al fondo de las relaciones humanas.Italo CalvinoLos amores difíciles es una reunión de quince relatos largos escritos por Calvino entre 1949 y 1967, muchos de los cuales se publicaron por primera vez en el volumen recopilatorio I racconti [Los cuentos]. En 1970, Einaudi decidió publicar en volumen exento la primera parte de aquella antología, titulada, precisamente, Gli amore difficili .Sus historias versan sobre la dificultad de comunicación entre personas que, por alguna inesperada circunstancia, podrían comenzar una relación amorosa. En realidad, son relatos sobre cómo una pareja no alcanza nunca a establecer ese mínimo vínculo afectivo inicial, aunque todo parezca favorecerlo. Pero,

... soy todavía de los que creen, con Croce, que de un autor solo cuentan las obras.De la carta a Germana Pescio Bottino, Génova, 9 de junio de 1964Durante los casi cuarenta años que ItaloCalvino colaboró con la prestigiosa editorial Einaudi leyó centenares, tal vez miles, de manuscritos de autores tanto desconocidos como consagrados, a quienes dio a conocer o cuyas carreras consolidó, pero también rechazó (a veces con gran dureza), a sabiendas de que como editor literario debía seguir siempre la corriente de afinidad o simpatía que los libros despertaban en él, aun a riesgo de equivocarse o pecar de arbitrario. Los libros de los otros se enmarca en esa faceta de Calvino comoeditor y recopila 269 cartas que Calvino dirigió tanto a los autores de las obras leídas como a colaboradores, amigos y escritores de la casa, muchos de ellos personalidades de la época como Primo Levi, Leonardo Sciascia, Umberto Eco, Hans Magnus Enzensberger o Natalia Ginzburg, y en las que desvela sus amore

CESARE PAVESE (Santo Stefano Belbo 1908 - Turín 1950) publicó la edición definitiva de su cancionero Trabajar cansa en la editorial Einaudi de Turín en 1943, tras una importante reelaboración estructural de la primera edición del libro, publicada en las ediciones Solaria de Florencia en 1936. El autor acompañó los poemas de dos apéndices, El oficio de poeta, de 1934, y A propósito de algunos poemas no escritos todavía, de 1940. En estos exponía las razones de su intensa experimentación poética iniciada en 1930 con la redacción del poema ?Los mares del Sur?, que representa idealmente el inicio de la fase madura de su obra. La edición definitiva de Trabajar cansa, que ahora se presenta al lector en lengua española tal y como la concibió Pavese, prepara el camino tanto a buena parte de su narrativa inminentemente posterior a 1935, como al resto de su poesía, con la que guarda una estrecha relación textual.

The UNESCO headquarters in Paris. The Pirelli skyscraper in Milan. The Palazetto dello Sport in Rome. The "soaring beauty" of Pier Luigi Nervi's visionary designs and buildings changed cityscapes in the twentieth century. His uncanny ingenuity with reinforced concrete, combined with a gift for practical problem solving, revolutionized the use of open internal space in structures like arenas and concert halls. Aesthetics and Technology in Building: The Twenty-First-Century Edition introduces Nervi's ideas about architecture and engineering to a new generation of students and admirers. More than 200 photographs, details, drawings, and plans show how Nervi put his ideas into practice. Expanding on the seminal 1961 Norton Lectures at Harvard, Nervi analyzes various functional and construction problems. He also explains how precast and cast-in-place concrete can answer demands for economy, technical and functional soundness, and aesthetic perfection. Throughout, he uses his major projects to show how these now-iconic buildings emerged from structural truths and far-sighted construction processes. This new edition features dozens of added images, a new introduction, and essays by Joseph Abram, Roberto Einaudi, Alberto Bologna, Gabriele Neri, and Hans-Christian Schink on Nervi's life, work, and legacy.

Although modern neoliberalism was born at the “Colloque Walter Lippmann” in 1938, it only came into its own with the founding of the Mont Pèlerin Society, a partisan “thought collective,” in Vevey, Switzerland, in 1947. Its original membership was made up of transnational economists and intellectuals, including Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, George Stigler, Karl Popper, Michael Polanyi, and Luigi Einaudi. From this small beginning, their ideas spread throughout the world, fostering, among other things, the political platforms of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan and the Washington Consensus.The Road from Mont Pèlerin presents the key debates and conflicts that occurred among neoliberal scholars and their political and corporate allies regarding trade unions, development economics, antitrust policies, and the influence of philanthropy. The book captures the depth and complexity of the neoliberal “thought collective” while examining the numerous ways that neoliberal discourse has come to shape the global economy.“The Road from Mont Pèlerin is indispensable for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of neoliberalism, whether as an end in itself or as a means for constructing alternative, non-neoliberal futures.”—Daniel Kinderman, Critical Policy Studies“If you work on post-war history of economics, there is almost no reason not to read this book.”—Ross B. Emmett, Journal of the History of Economic Thought
