Agata vive con la nuora, vedova del suo unico figlio, e la nipote, madre di un bimbo di tre anni. Le piacciono i gioielli e gli abiti eleganti, ama guardarsi allo specchio e spazzolare a lungo i capelli, che ha di un bianco abbagliante. Emma vive sola, ha lavorato in una fabbrica di iuta e in seguito come cuoca in un convitto. Se ha freddo si butta sulle ginocchia una coperta che ha fatto con le sue mani. Cucina da sé i propri pasti e ogni giorno, dopo cena, si concede un bicchiere di liquore fatto in casa. Agata ha 104 anni, Emma 117.È alla ricerca del segreto di una simile longevità – indissolubilmente coniugata ad acume intellettuale, curiosità, vivacità mentale – che parte Daniela Mari, in un viaggio che, come quello alla volta della mitica Shangri-La, si rivelerà di volta in volta avventuroso o malinconico, ma sempre sorprendente: Daniela Mari ha dedicato la vita a studiare i delicati, complessi, misteriosi meccanismi che sottostanno al nostro invecchiamento e, memore della lezione dei tanti centenari che ha conosciuto e con cui ha lavorato, in Italia e nel mondo, ha raccolto in queste pagine – uniche nella capacità di fondere rigore scientifico, lucidità filosofica e sensibilità letteraria – il distillato purissimo dei suoi studi.Magistrale testimonianza di una vita consacrata alla ricerca scientifica delle sfuggenti alchimie che governano le nostre biologie non meno della nostra storia, A spasso con i centenari è anche, in controluce, una precisa mappa che ci aiuta a navigare con sicurezza nell’inesplorato, accidentato territorio aperto davanti a noi, perché – come Ingmar Bergman ebbe una volta a dire – «la vecchiaia è come scalare una montagna. Più arriviamo in alto, più ci manca il respiro: ma quanto impressionanti si fanno le vedute aperte davanti ai nostri occhi».

Learn the art of growing old from the supercentenarians living life to the fullest. It's said that life begins at 40 - but that number is constantly revised upwards as we live longer and longer. With the number of centenarians having quadrupled in the last thirty years, more of us can now hope to reach the 100-year mark than ever before. But how can we navigate this journey with grace, dignity and style? In this charming and informative book, Daniela Mari - the Italian doctor caring for some of the oldest people on the planet - draws on her experiences as a renowned gerontologist to reveal the science behind a healthy, happy old age. It turns out that the world's centenarians can teach us a thing or two about ageing well. And the secrets are not always what you'd think. Informed by the latest medical studies and incredible stories of individual longevity, Mari shows how our lifestyles can far surpass the influence of our genetics and why a daily glass of liquor isn't the end of the world. From our sleeping habits and diet to the crucial importance of our passions and interests, Breakfast with the Centenarians is the essential handbook for a fruitful and fulfilling old age.

The planet is sick. Human beings are guilty of damaging it. We have to pay. Today, that is the orthodoxy throughout the Western world. Distrust of progress and science, calls for individual and collective self-sacrifice to ‘save the planet’ and cultivation of fear: behind the carbon commissars, a dangerous and counterproductive ecological catastrophism is gaining ground. Modern society’s susceptibility to this kind of thinking derives from what Bruckner calls “the seductive attraction of disaster,” as exemplified by the popular appeal of disaster movies. But ecological catastrophism is harmful in that it draws attention away from other, more solvable problems and injustices in the world in order to focus on something that is portrayed as an Apocalypse. Rather than preaching catastrophe and pessimism, we need to develop a democratic and generous ecology that addresses specific problems in a practical way.

Physician, anthropologist, travel writer, novelist, politician, Paolo Mantegazza (1831-1910) was probably the most eclectic figure in late-nineteenth century Italian culture. A prolific writer, Mantegazza can be seen as a forerunner of what has come to be known as cultural studies on account of his interdisciplinary approach, his passionate blend of scientific and literary elements in his writings, and his ability to transcend the boundaries between 'high' and 'low' culture. Though extremely popular during his lifetime both in Italy and abroad, Mantegazza's works have not been made available in a significant English language compilation. This volume is a representative overview of Mantegazza's key works, many of them translated into English for the first time. In addition to the unabridged Physiology of Love (1873), a veritable best-seller at the time of its initial publication, this compilation features selections from Mantegazza's writings on medicine, his travelogues, his epistolary novel One Day in Madeira (1868), and his treatise on materialistic aesthetics. Replete with an extensive and informative introduction by the editor, The Physiology of Love and Other Writings also excerpts Mantegazza's works of science fiction, memoir, and social and cultural criticism. As an anthology of the works of Paolo Mantegazza, a writer of diverse topical orientations, this volume is also an account of the circulation of ideas and cross-fertilization of disciplines that defined a crucial period of Italian and European cultural life.

For more than 120 years (1714-1837) Great Britain was linked to the German Electorate, later Kingdom, of Hanover through Personal Union. This made Britain a continental European state in many respects, and diluted her sense of insular apartness. The geopolitical focus of Britain was now as much on Germany, on the Elbe and the Weser as it was on the Channel or overseas. At the same time, the Hanoverian connection was a major and highly controversial factor in British high politics and popular political debate. This volume was the first systematically to explore the subject by a team of experts drawn from the UK, US and Germany. They integrate the burgeoning specialist literature on aspects of the Personal Union into the broader history of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain. Never before had the impact of the Hanoverian connection on British politics, monarchy and the public sphere, been so thoroughly investigated.

The main theme of Giorgio Bassani's novels and short stories, which have earned him wide acclaim outside Italy, has been the advent of anti-Semitism in the provincial Italian city of Ferrara during World War II. Earlier he had a successful career as an editor with a major publishing house, being credited with helping to bring to public notice The Leopard by Tomasi Lampedusa. Bassani edited a literary magazine and was director of the Italian radio-television network. His first collection of short pieces was A City on the Plain, written under the pseudonym Giacomo Marchi. His volumes of poems were finally collected and published in 1963. The stories and novels that were to make him famous abroad began to appear in the 1950s. They include A Prospect of Ferrara (1960), and The Gold Rimmed Spectacles (1960). A film version of The Garden of the Finzi-Continis (1962) by Vittorio De Sica has become a public television classic.
