Story1
Since its formation in 1861, Italy has struggled to develop an effective political system and a secure sense of national identity. Christopher Duggan's acclaimed introduction charts the country's history from the fall of the Roman Empire in the West to the present day, and surveys the difficulties Italy has faced during the last two centuries in creating a unified country. Duggan successfully weaves together political, economic, social and cultural history, and stresses the alternation between materialist and idealist programs for forging a nation-state.

On July 10, 1943, two great Allied armadas of over 2,000 ships readied to invade Sicily. This was Operation Husky, the first step toward winning a toehold in fascist-occupied Europe. Among the invaders were 20,000 Canadian troops serving in the First Canadian Infantry Division and First Canadian Tank Brigade - in their first combat experience. Over the next 28 days, the Allied troops carved a path through the rugged land, despite fierce German opposition.

No city stirs the imagination more than Venice. From the richly ornamented palaces emerging from the waters of the Grand Canal to the dazzling sites of Piazza San Marco, visitors and residents alike sense they are entering, as fourteenth-century poet Petrarch remarked, “another world.” During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Venice was celebrated as a model republic in an age of monarchs. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it became famous for its freewheeling lifestyle characterized by courtesans, casinos, and Carnival.

Voi conoscete i Pirati come gente spietata, predoni del mare, ma non e' l'unica realtà; c'è ben altro che la società per ovvi motivi non vi ha raccontato. Chiaro che chi era dedito a delinquere sulla terra ferma ha sfruttato quella che è stata un'epoca fiorente per il traffico marittimo per insidiarsi, razziare, saccheggiare, delinquere, assaltare ed uccidere... Ma se vi dicessi che tutto questo non è altro che un solo punto di vista di ciò che è stato? Benvenuti dall'altra parte della storia!

La storia dell'editoria è la storia dell'emancipazione di un mestiere da un altro. Questo volume delinea tale parabola, ponendo in rilievo la relazione che intercorre fra libri e società, industria editoriale e storia nazionale. Ripercorrendo le vicende di alcune case editrici - fra cui Zanichelli, Treves, Bemporad, Hoepli, Laterza, Mondadori, Einaudi, Feltrinelli, Adelphi, Sellerio - e concentrando l'attenzione su alcune questioni trasversali alla loro attività, traccia un quadro non solo dell'editoria italiana, ma anche dell'Italia dei libri dall'età liberale a quella repubblicana.

Cosa significa ricordare la Resistenza? Paolo Malaguti prende le mosse da una salita in bicicletta sul Monte Grappa per avviare un viaggio intimo e lucido nei luoghi, nelle tracce, nei silenzi della memoria resistenziale italiana. Ma ben presto il racconto si allarga, intrecciando la riflessione sulla storia con quella, attualissima, sulla memoria e sulla scuola: perché la Resistenza non è (solo) un capitolo da manuale, ma un laboratorio civile e pedagogico in cui misurare il valore della democrazia, della parola, del dissenso.

La Storia della letteratura italiana, completata nel 1871 è la principale opera di Francesco De Sanctis, il più grande critico letterario e saggista italiano dell'Ottocento: essa costituisce la prima grande sintesi organica di tutta la letteratura italiana. L'opera, che non deve essere considerata un manuale di consultazione ma una sintesi ardente di tutta l'intera storia della società italiana vista attraverso le opere letterarie, si svolge con un forte ritmo narrativo dove i personaggi sono gli autori e i loro testi.

Brunelleschi's Dome is the story of how a Renaissance genius bent men, materials, and the very forces of nature to build an architectural wonder we continue to marvel at today. Denounced at first as a madman, Brunelleschi was celebrated at the end as a genius. He engineered the perfect placement of brick and stone, built ingenious hoists and cranes to carry an estimated 70 million pounds hundreds of feet into the air, and designed the workers' platforms and routines so carefully that only one man died during the decades of construction.

When Livy began his epic The History of Rome, he had no idea of the fame and fortune he would eventually attain. He would go on to become the most widely read writer in the Roman Empire and was eagerly sought out and feted like a modern celebrity. And his fame continued to grow after his death. His bombastic style, his intricate and complex sentence structure, and his flair for powerfully recreating the searing drama of historical incidents made him a favorite of teachers and pupils alike.

Perché il fascismo? E perché in Italia? Perché proprio nel nostro paese si è imposto un regime dittatoriale che ha proposto una formula politica che è stata presa a modello non solo in Europa e continua a esercitare un suo fascino sinistro? Queste domande ci interrogano da vicino e ne sollecitano molte altre quando proviamo a individuare cause ed effetti per elaborare una risposta. Tutte questioni ancora aperte e che ancora ci sfidano, soprattutto quando vogliamo rispondere alla domanda principe: il fascismo si poteva evitare?

Despite the Roman Empire's famous 500-year reign over Europe, parts of Africa and the Middle East, Italy does not have the same long national history as states such as France or England. Divided for much of its history, Italy's regions have been, at various times, parts of bigger, often antagonistic empires, notably those of Spain and Austria. In addition, its challenging and varied terrain made consolidation of political control all the more difficult.

Looking at the facts that lie behind and often belie the stereotypes, his revealing book sheds new light on many aspects of Italian life: football and Freemasonry, sex, symbolism, and the reason Italian has twelve words for a coat hanger yet none for a hangover.

When Hitler’s armies occupied Italy in 1943, they also seized control of mankind’s greatest cultural treasures. As they had done throughout Europe, the Nazis could now plunder the masterpieces of the Renaissance, the treasures of the Vatican, and the antiquities of the Roman Empire. On the eve of the Allied invasion, General Dwight Eisenhower empowered a new kind of soldier to protect these historic riches. In May 1944 two unlikely American heroes—artist Deane Keller and scholar Fred Hartt—embarked from Naples on the treasure hunt of a lifetime, tracking billions of dollars of missing art, including works by Michelangelo, Donatello, Titian, Caravaggio, and Botticelli.
