Il servizio di leva è stato abolito in Italia, forse con ritardo, a decorrere dal 2005. Per generazioni di giovani è stato, tuttavia, un “insensato travaglio” come scrive l’autore nelle prime pagine di questo suo diario romanzato, un racconto a tutto campo della sua esperienza negli ambienti di caserma, da Nord a Sud dell’Italia. Gran parte del materiale trae origine dalla rielaborazione del diario, redatto e organizzato secondo la stretta cronologia degli avvenimenti. Alla descrizione delle giornate passate sotto la naja per quasi un anno e mezzo, si alternano commenti, riflessioni, severi giudizi, tutti tesi a dimostrare “l’inciviltà della vita di caserma”. Dal caos organizzativo interno all’inutile severità disciplinare, dalla mediocrità di parecchi superiori, alla diffusa, disdicevole forma di dispostismo. Non mancano, tuttavia, al di là dei toni aspri e polemici, i momenti di condivisione con gli altri commilitoni, le giornate spensierate di libera uscita contrapposte al grigiore dei giorni in caserma, le occasioni, in realtà rare, di rivincita sui superiori e di riconoscimento delle proprie capacità. La naja sarà stata pure un calvario per molti, ma nel passato ha rappresentato uno spaccato di vita che coincideva inevitabilmente con uno dei momenti di transizione dalla gioventù all’età matura. Augusto Lucchese è nato ad Enna nel 1928. Giovanissimo, già nel 1945, è impegnato nel sociale. Nello stesso anno è nominato Presidente dell’Associazione “Giosuè Borsi” della GIAC che ha contribuito a fondare. Nel 1949, delegato giovanile di Enna, partecipa al 1° Congresso Nazionale ACLI a Roma e al congresso regionale di Zafferana Etnea. Appassionato di motociclismo, crea il “Motoclub”. Nell’ambito della GIAC è promotore del quindicinale “Roccia viva”. Quale studente universitario entra a fare parte della FUCI e ricopre la carica di Tesoriere. Non ancora ventunenne, vincitore di concorso nazionale, è di ruolo presso il Provveditorato agli Studi di Enna. Assunto poi alla CCRVE, presta servizio presso l’Agenzia di Gela, prima tappa della sua carriera bancaria che lo porterà a ricoprire svariati incarichi dirigenziali. A fronte della passione per la ricerca storica ha portato a compimento diversi lavori riguardanti la 1° e la 2° guerra mondiale, fra cui: Personaggi controversi: Pietro Badoglio, L’Italia in guerra, un disastro annunciato, Il Duca abbandonato, Perché Malta non fu occupata, Il Deserto infuocato, La Regia Marina Italiana al 10 giugno 1940. Si è occupato, inoltre, di “Ecologia e cambiamenti climatici” cui, già nel 1992, ebbe a dedicare un attento “studio”. Nel 1998, costituisce in Viagrande (CT) l’Associazione socio culturale Ethos della quale è tuttora Presidente. Ha pubblicato, nel 2007, un saggio su Giovanni XXIII – il Papa della bontà e dell’umiltà – e, nel 2014, l’incisivo testo Enna 1943 – ricordi di guerra.

SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES • “A majestic, melancholy, and beautiful novel” (The New Yorker), THE LEOPARD is one of the best-selling Italian novels of the twentieth century and an acclaimed masterpiece of world literature. This beautiful hardcover edition, translated by Archibald Colquhoun, also includes two short stories and a brief memoir of the author’s childhood. Set in Sicily in the 1860s, during the tumult of Italian unification, THE LEOPARD tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, fading aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of revolution and democracy. Its author, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, who was the last in a line of Sicilian princes, wrote the novel in the 1950s, inspired by the decline of his own family. Don Fabrizio Corbera, Prince of Salina, remains skeptical and stoic as he finds himself beset by civil war, social change, and his family’s loss of wealth and status. While his beloved nephew, Tancredi, more practical and flexible than he, joins the nationalist rebels and marries the ambitious daughter of a newly rich upstart, Don Fabrizio takes refuge in his love of astronomy, gazing at the unchanging stars while the world as he has known it crumbles around him. The dramatic sweep and richness of Lampedusa’s observation, his seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and his sure grasp of human frailty imbue THE LEOPARD with its melancholy beauty and power. “No novel in Italian literature has aroused so much passion or caused so much argument… The book is more than the memorable invocation of a certain place in a certain epoch. It is a work of art that will survive, long after the last sad palaces of Palermo have gone, because it deals with the central problems of the human experience.” —from the Introduction by David Gilmour "The genius of its author and the thrill it gives the reader are probably for all time."—The New York Times Book Review "A masterwork . . . A superb novel in the great tradition and the grand manner."—Newsweek Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.

PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

Destined to be a bestseller in the tradition of 'Mr Nice' and 'The Guvnor,' this is the paperback edition of Edward Bunker's long-awaited autobiography. It tells the true story of a life that ranges far beyond the imagination of most fiction writers: 25 years in prison, author of four hugely successful crime novels, a spell on the FBI's 10 most wanted list, a role as Mr Blue in Tarantino's 'Reservoir Dogs,' and that's just for starters. With sales already over 5,000 in hardback, this riveting story of a life that mixes crime and culture should sell and sell.

On 6 April 1943, Ian Reid, an officer in the Black Watch, was wounded and captured in Tunisia and sent off to an Italian prisoner-of-war camp. Five months later, when the Germans took over the camp as the Italians pulled out of the war, he escaped. So began a life-or-death game of hide and seek in the heart of the beautiful Italian countryside, living in barns, sleeping in ditches and desperate scavenging for food. He was recaptured - though heroically he was to escape from the Germans a total of five times. Nearly sixty years later, Howard Reid quite literally followed in his father's footsteps and made the same journey across Italy - though in a rather more relaxed fashion. Starting near Modena, he travelled to Florence and through Chianti, Siena and Orvieto to Rome and beyond, painting an intimate portrait of his extraordinary father and getting closer to the truth of his amazing escapades, which were the subject of a bestselling book in the 1950s. Along the way, as we are shown the real, modern Italy, Howard mused on father-son relationships, and the deep but invisible scars left by two world wars on each of our personal histories. This poignant and engrossing book is a must for everyone who has ever asked (or wanted, too late, to ask) the question 'What did you do in the war, Dad?'
