Jodie, nella consapevolezza della sua esplosiva gioventù, decide di affrontare il mondo, ma soprattutto di arrivare a vedere l’oceano Pacifico. All’insaputa della sua famiglia, e in sella alla sua fedelissima Lola, si avventura in un viaggio nel torrido e aspro Far West, il quale fa pochi sconti a chi ha la sfortuna di viverlo. Jodie rappresenta il riscatto della condizione femminile dell’epoca, la donna in grado di badare a sé stessa senza dover ricorrere a un matrimonio e sottostare al maschilismo che impera in quei territori, relegata alla cura della famiglia. Ma soprattutto fugge per ritrovare il suo Io, per affrontare le paure e imparare a dominarle, perché nella sua interiorità essere donna significa: accettazione dei propri limiti e delle novità, capacità di adattamento e curiosità. Inoltre la sua temerarietà, guidata da una sana follia, la conduce in territori impervi, solitari, certamente non battuti da una donna sola in compagnia della sua cavalla. Elena Martini tratteggia varie tipologie di donna nel suo Jodie: Evelyn Olivia Rose, Mercy, Mary, Angela e Rebecca, che rappresentano rispettivamente la magia, la sensualità, la laboriosità, la semplicità e infine la temperanza. Una dopo l’altra si avvicendano e caratterizzano questo splendido testo, altresì risalta la presenza dei tre fratelli Kirsch, giovani scapestrati ma di buon cuore, e contraddistingue la tipologia letteraria appartenente alla narrativa western. Elena Martini nasce nel 1991 a Crema, dove si diploma al liceo classico “A. Racchetti”. Consegue la laurea triennale in Scienze dei Beni Culturali all’Università degli Studi di Milano con la tesi Bisanzio e la Via della Seta e in Storia e Critica dell’Arte con la tesi magistrale Amrita Sher-Gil: vita e opere, prima biografia in italiano della pittrice, sulla quale scrive anche una scheda biografica sul sito web L’Enciclopedia delle Donne. Oltre alla passione per l’arte, ama l’equitazione e la danza, discipline in cui si diploma, diventando Accompagnatrice Equestre di Campagna Fitetrec-Ante e insegnante di danza moderna e di pilates all’International Dance Association (I.D.A.) di Milano. Attualmente è insegnante del metodo pilates in uno studio privato della sua città natia.

SPANNING SIX GENERATIONS and three continents,My Name, a Living Memoryis a fictionalized saga of author Giorgio van Straten’s family from the Napoleonic era through World War II. The story begins in Rotterdam in 1811, when Hartog son of Alexander — father, cucumber salesman, and Dutch Jew — is forced by Napoleonic edict to choose a last name. He chooses Straaten, the Dutch word for “street.” The name presages a journey through history that flings Hartog’s descendants as far afield as San Francisco, London, Odessa, Sao Paolo, and Tbilisi. They witness the Gold Rush, the Russian Revolution, the Stalinist purges, and, finally, the Holocaust. Some are uprooted by business interests, including the author’s grandfather, who lost one of the A’s in his surname en route. As the political climate grows increasingly perilous for Jews throughout Europe, several are forced to flee for their lives, and many fail to return from Auschwitz, Sobibor, and Bergen-Belsen. Historical fiction of a very personal sort, van Straten weaves his relatives’ stories together, much as an art restorer reconstructs the missing portions of a fresco, guided by the evidence that remains. A gold watch, a few photographs, crumpled documents and letters, family lore; these are the artifacts from which lives are re-created. In the end, the story of van Straten’s family can be read as a testament to the rich and varied history and culture of Jews in Europe and the Americas.

Mona is twenty-three, emotionally adrift and cleaning houses to get by. While handing out clean needles to drug addicts, she falls for a man she calls Mr Disgusting, who proceeds to break her heart in unimaginable ways.

Winner, 2009 Best Book Award, Society for the Study of Early Modern WomenWinner, 2008 PROSE Award for Best Book in Language, Literature, and Linguistics. Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division of the Association of American Publishers This is the first comprehensive study of the remarkably rich tradition of women’s writing that flourished in Italy between the fifteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Virginia Cox documents this tradition and both explains its character and scope and offers a new hypothesis on the reasons for its emergence and decline. Cox combines fresh scholarship with a revisionist argument that overturns existing historical paradigms for the chronology of early modern Italian women’s writing and questions the historiographical commonplace that the tradition was brought to an end by the Counter Reformation. Using a comparative analysis of women's activities as artists, musicians, composers, and actresses, Cox locates women's writing in its broader contexts and considers how gender reflects and reinvents conventional narratives of literary change.

"An unforgettable story of trauma and healing, told in achingly beautiful prose with great tenderness and care." —#1 New York Times-bestselling author Karen M. McManus When two teens discover that they were both sexually assaulted at the same party, they develop a cautious friendship through her family’s possibly-magical pastelería, his secret forest of otherworldly trees, and the swallows returning to their hometown, in Anna-Marie McLemore's The Mirror Season. Graciela Cristales’ whole world changes after she and a boy she barely knows are assaulted at the same party. She loses her gift for making enchanted pan dulce. Neighborhood trees vanish overnight, while mirrored glass appears, bringing reckless magic with it. And Ciela is haunted by what happened to her, and what happened to the boy whose name she never learned. But when the boy, Lock, shows up at Ciela’s school, he has no memory of that night, and no clue that a single piece of mirrored glass is taking his life apart. Ciela decides to help him, which means hiding the truth about that night. Because Ciela knows who assaulted her, and him. And she knows that her survival, and his, depend on no one finding out what really happened.

The first international history of the emergence of economic sanctions during the interwar period and the legacy of this development Economic sanctions dominate the landscape of world politics today. First developed in the early twentieth century as a way of exploiting the flows of globalization to defend liberal internationalism, their appeal is that they function as an alternative to war. This view, however, ignores the dark paradox at their core: designed to prevent war, economic sanctions are modeled on devastating techniques of warfare. Tracing the use of economic sanctions from the blockades of World War I to the policing of colonial empires and the interwar confrontation with fascism, Nicholas Mulder uses extensive archival research in a political, economic, legal, and military history that reveals how a coercive wartime tool was adopted as an instrument of peacekeeping by the League of Nations. This timely study casts an overdue light on why sanctions are widely considered a form of war, and why their unintended consequences are so tremendous.
