Ruth Ben-Ghiat provides the first in-depth study of feature and documentary films produced under the auspices of Mussolini's government that took as their subjects or settings Italy's African and Balkan colonies. These "empire films" were Italy's entry into an international market for the exotic. The films engaged its most experienced and cosmopolitan directors (Augusto Genina, Mario Camerini) as well as new filmmakers (Roberto Rossellini) who would make their marks in the postwar years. Ben-Ghiat sees these films as part of the aesthetic development that would lead to neo-realism. Shot in Libya, Somalia, and Ethiopia, these movies reinforced Fascist racial and labor policies and were largely forgotten after the war. Ben-Ghiat restores them to Italian and international film history in this gripping account of empire, war, and the cinema of dictatorship.

Desde que existe el libro nadie está ya completamente solo, sin otra perspectiva que la que le ofrece su propio punto de vista, pues tiene al alcance de su mano el presente y el pasado, el pensar y el sentir de toda la humanidad. Stefan Zweig fue un lector empedernido que plasmó sus observaciones tanto en las reseñas que publicó en la prensa escrita como en los prólogos a la obra de otros autores. Los textos aquí reunidos dan buena prueba de la sagacidad, la erudición y la elegancia a las que Zweig nos tiene acostumbrados, pero sobre todo son un testimonio de su amor por la literatura como invitación al diálogo, una pasión tan intensa y franca que no es extraño que sepa contagiarla a sus lectores como pocos maestros.

Since the publication of his first novel in 1972, Alexander Theroux has won great acclaim for his dazzling style and forceful intellect. That first novel, Three Wogs , was named Book of the Year by Encyclopedia Britannica and nominated for the National Book Award, as was his second novel, Darconville's Cat (1981), which Anthony Burgess called one of the 99 best novels of the 20th century. Since then Theroux has published numerous other books, won several awards, and has been the subject of academic studies and theses. In addition to Burgess, he has been praised by such writers as Saul Bellow, Guy Davenport, Robertson Davies, Fred Exley, Jonathan Franzen, William H. Gass, Norman Mailer, D. Keith Mano, Cormac McCarthy, James McCourt, Annie Proulx, John Updike, and Paul West. Alexander Theroux: A Fan's Notes is the first book-length study of Theroux's complete body of work, concluding with a chapter on his contentious relationship with his best-selling brother Paul Theroux. Critic Steven Moore, who has known Theroux for nearly 40 years and helped with the publication of some of his books, illuminates Theroux's work in a scholarly yet accessible style.

After 1750 the Americas lived political and popular revolutions, the fall of European empires, and the rise of nations as the world faced a new industrial capitalism. Political revolution made the United States the first new nation; revolutionary slaves made Haiti the second, freeing themselves and destroying the leading Atlantic export economy. A decade later, Bajío insurgents took down the silver economy that fueled global trade and sustained Spain’s empire while Britain triumphed at war and pioneered industrial ways that led the U.S. South, still-Spanish Cuba, and a Brazilian empire to expand slavery to supply rising industrial centers. Meanwhile, the fall of silver left people from Mexico through the Andes searching for new states and economies. After 1870 the United States became an agro-industrial hegemon, and most American nations turned to commodity exports, while Haitians and diverse indigenous peoples struggled to retain independent ways.

“A new series that promises to be just as engrossing [as Frontlines]…the action just as exciting, the science just as solid, the tension just as high. I gulped down the first book in a day, and I am already eager for the next one.” —George R. R. Martin Across the six-planet expanse of the Gaia system, the Earthlike Gretia struggles to stabilize in the wake of an interplanetary war. Amid an uneasy alliance to maintain economies, resources, and populations, Aden Robertson reemerges. After devoting twelve years of his life to the reviled losing side, with the blood of half a million casualties on his hands, Aden is looking for a way to move on. He’s not the only one. A naval officer has borne witness to inconceivable attacks on a salvaged fleet. A sergeant with the occupation forces is treading increasingly hostile ground. And a young woman, thrust into responsibility as vice president of her family’s raw materials empire, faces a threat she never anticipated. Now, on the cusp of an explosive and wide-reaching insurrection, Aden plunges once again into the brutal life he longed to forget. He’s been on the wrong side of war before. But this time, the new enemy has yet to reveal themselves…or their dangerous endgame.

Many books have been written about nineteenth-century Oxford theology, but what was happening in Cambridge? This book provides the first continuous account of what might be called 'the Cambridge theological tradition', by discussing its leading figures from Richard Watson and William Paley, through Herbert Marsh and Julius Hare, to the trio of Lightfoot, Westcott and Hort. It also includes a chapter on nonconformists such as Robertson Smith, P.T. Forsyth and T.R. Glover. The analysis is organised around the defences that were offered for the credibility of Christianity in response to hostile and friendly critics. In this period the study of theology was not yet divided into its modern self-contained areas. A critical approach to scripture was taken for granted, and its implications for ecclesiology, the understanding of salvation and the social implications of the Gospel were teased out (in Hort's phrase) through enquiry and controversy as a way to discover truth. Cambridge both engaged with German theology and responded positively to the nineteenth-century 'crisis of faith'.

In-depth analysis of Victor Burgin’s video installation Parzival (2013). In commemoration of the destruction of the University Library of Leuven (Belgium) in August 1914, the projection work Parzival, created by Victor Burgin (°UK, 1941) in 2013, was installed within the rebuilt Library. The installation uniquely marked the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War I, which left its profound traces on both the consciousness and physiognomy of the city of Leuven. Parzival is a montage piece combining digital images of ruins and bombed out cities with audio-visual and literary material that references, amongst other works, Richard Wagner’s opera Parsifal (premiere in 1882), Roberto Rossellini’s Germany Year Zero (1948) and Milan Kundera’s novel Identity (1998). This publication provides an in-depth analysis of Parzival, a work that is inspired by the period of seven months that Wagner spent in Venice (1858-1859). Burgin’s Parzival raises questions about some of the most fundamental elements in Wagner’s operatic work: the longing for a savior, the complex connection between violence and catharsis, and the presentiment that destruction awaits humanity in the future (Götterdämmerung). In an associative manner, Parzival brings together various artistic and political features to confront the romantic ideal of the ruin with the horrors that might result from such a myth. In addition, this book contains a reprint of Michel Foucault’s essay “The Imagination of the Nineteenth Century” (1980). This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).Contributors: Geert Bouckaert (KU Leuven), Victor Burgin (University of California, University of London, University of Southampton), Alexander Streitberger (Université catholique de Louvain), Stéphane Symons (KU Leuven), Hilde Van Gelder (KU Leuven)

An overlooked classic of Italian literature, this epic and unforgettable novel recounts one man's long and turbulent life in revolutionary Italy.At the age of eighty-three and nearing death, Carlo Altoviti has decided to write down the confessions of his long life. He remembers everything: his unhappy childhood in the kitchens of the Castle of Fratta; romantic entanglements during the siege of Genoa; revolutionary fighting in Naples; and so much more. Throughout, Carlo lives only for his twin passions in life: his dream of a unified, free Italy and his undying love for the magnificent but inconstant Pisana. Peopled by a host of unforgettable characters - including drunken smugglers, saintly nuns, scheming priests, Napoleon and Lord Byron - this is an epic historical novel that tells the remarkable and inseparable stories of one man's life and the history of Italy's unification.Ippolito Nievo was born in 1831 in Padua. Confessions of an Italian, written in 1858 and published posthumously in 1867, is his best known work. A patriot and a republican, he took part with Garibaldi and his Thousand in the momentous 1860 landing in Sicily to free the south from Bourbon rule. Nievo died before he reached the age of thirty, when his ship, en route from Palermo to Naples, went down in the Tyrrhenian Sea in early 1861. He was, Italo Calvino once said, the sole Italian novelist of the nineteenth century in the 'daredevil, swashbuckler, rambler' mould so dear to other European literatures. Frederika Randall has worked as a cultural journalist for many years. Her previous translations include Luigi Meneghello's Deliver Us and Ottavio Cappellani's Sicilian Tragedee and Sergio Luzzatto's Padre Pio: Miracles and Politics in a Secular Age.Lucy Riall is Professor of Comparative History at the European University Institute. Her many books include Garibaldi. Invention of a Hero. 'Of all the furore that came out of the Risorgimento, only Manzoni and Nievo really matter today' - Umberto Eco 'The one 19th century Italian novel which has [for an Italian reader] that charm and fascination so abundant in foreign literatures' - Italo Calvino 'Perhaps the greatest Italian novel of the nineteenth century' - Roberto Carnero 'A spirited appeal for liberté, égalité and fraternité, the novel is also an astute, scathing and amusing human comedy, a tale of love, sex and betrayal, of great wealth and grinding poverty, of absolute power and scheming submission, of idealism and cynicism, courage and villainy' - The Literary Encyclopedia

En su conferencia pronunciada en 1928 para conmemorar la República de Weimar, Cassirer muestra que los valores defendidos por esa constitución republicana hunden sus raíces en la Ilustración europea. Los derechos del hombre y del ciudadano promulgados por la Revolución francesa gracias a Lafayette se habrían inspirado desde luego en las declaraciones de los nuevos Estados libres norteamericanos, pero deberían su gestación y consagración conceptual nada menos que a filósofos como Leibniz o Kant. Con todo ello se ilustra la fecunda interacción que se da entre teoría y praxis, entre la historia de las ideas y el cómo va configurándose merced a ellas nuestra realidad político-social.Poco después, en la primavera de 1929, los asistentes a un congreso filosófico celebrado en la localidad suiza de Davos presenciaron un debate que ha devenido legendario por confrontar dos cosmovisiones antagónicas. En torno a sus respectivas interpretaciones del pensamiento kantiano, Cassirer y Heidegger p

Esta obra representa una recreación de la cuarta y última parte de El mundo como voluntad y representación, es decir, de aquélla que se interesa por la moral; en realidad, no se trata sino de una versión con ribetes didácticos elaborada para sus alumnos de la Universidad de Berlín. A Schopenhauer le gustaba comparar su sistema filosófico con la Tebas de las cien puertas, indicando con ello que siempre se viene a parar al mismo centro neurálgico, cualquiera que sea la vía de acceso escogida. Sin duda, su mayor anhelo era el de integrar todas las parcelas del saber en una partitura homogénea y armónica, en donde las claves morales quedasen bien orquestadas con los compases de la estética o los acordes de la epistemología, gracias al compás que marca esa melodía de fondo entonada por su original metafísica. En este orden de cosas, la ética de Schopenhauer se presenta en esta obra como una odisea que bordea en todo momento el insondable abismo de la mística, empeñada como está en explorar

El periodo que dio comienzo en 1917 es, posiblemente, uno de los más relevantes del siglo xx español. En el año de la Revolución rusa, ha pasado desapercibido el triple proceso revolucionario que tuvo lugar en España, cuyos protagonistas fueron un sector del Ejército -las Juntas militares-, el movimiento obrero -que convocó una huelga general revolucionaria- y la Asamblea General de parlamentarios catalanes, que exigió el derecho de autodeterminación y participó en la conspiración que fraguó el golpe de Estado del general Primo de Rivera.

Encuadernación: Cartoné.Elaborar la imagen de san Agustín de la existencia cristiana, la interpretación del acontecer interior relatado por las Confesiones, no puede ser simplemente el relato de una conversión moral y religiosa, una conversión del mal al bien, de la incredulidad a la fe. Por el camino surge también una interpretación psicológica. Una psicología que aquí requiere saber acerca del espíritu y poder ver la realización de un destino espiritual, saber de lo religioso y poder reconocerlo en su sentido originario, ver lo cristiano más allá de lo espiritual y religioso. Por último, la historia de Agustín se desarrolla en el ámbito moral y del alma, pero también en el del pensamiento y la idea. Desde la perspectiva de la historia del pensamiento, Agustín arroja una mirada retrospectiva a su vida e introduce interpretativamente la segunda conversión en la primera.El Dios del cristianismo al que Agustín se ha convertido y en cuya presencia escribe sus Confesiones, no es el s

The beautiful carriage roads of Mount Desert Island fit so perfectly into the land it seems as though they have always been there. Actually, they are the result of decades of planning and painstaking effort on the part of philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and were built by local islanders over a 27-year period. Access by cars is not permitted, so the trails remain a boon to walkers, horseback riders, bicyclists, and cross-country skiers.This second edition also includes an interview with David Rockefeller, son of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and an exploration of the history of the roads since the publication of the first edition in 1990. Additional archival photographs and new color photographs of the roads are also included
