In quarant’anni come corrispondente dall’estero per seguire da vicino guerre e crisi tra le più drammatiche, Robert Kaplan ha imparato a leggere i fenomeni geopolitici individuando punti forti e deboli di strategie e previsioni. Oggi, consapevole che «la tragedia, su cui si basa ogni realismo, è più una sensibilità che una teoria», invita ad adottare il «pensiero tragico», un’attitudine mentale che consenta di orientarsi in un mondo che sembra aver perso qualsiasi riferimento. Rileggendo i classici dell’antica Grecia e le opere di Shakespeare, attingendo alle esperienze dei regimi dittatoriali e alla diretta osservazione dell’Iraq di Saddam Hussein e della Romania di Nicolae Ceaușescu, si misura con la sfida di tradurre il mito in realtà quotidiana, non esaltando virtù eroiche, ma accettando le prove dell’esistenza. Analizza quindi l’ambizione umana, mettendone in luce aspetti positivi e negativi, e ripercorre le vicende americane nei conflitti più o meno recenti, esortando a non cedere all’oblio della storia, e a considerare come dare per scontata la sopravvivenza abbia condotto a muoversi sulla scorta di astratti ideali, senza tenere conto a sufficienza della realtà. Mostrando che la tragedia non è fatalismo o disperazione, ma profonda comprensione delle dinamiche che influenzano leader ed eserciti, l’autore riflette su quanto l’essere umano sia davvero libero e in che misura invece la libertà si riveli spesso un’illusione, nel confronto con la gamma ristretta di scelte a disposizione. La variabile fondamentale rimane il tempo che accompagna l’evoluzione dello sguardo: se da giovani l’intelligenza spinge a cambiare il mondo, la saggezza che viene dall’esperienza e dalla coscienza dei limiti impone di cambiare se stessi.

«Il viaggio è una sfida che non finisce mai. È sintesi estrema della vita, dove una settimana di strada può corrispondere a un’epopea.» Di città in città, lasciandosi guidare dalle suggestioni evocate dai libri che lo hanno accompagnato durante la sua attività di esploratore e di studioso e dai tanti incontri che colleziona nel corso di questo suo itinerario, Robert Kaplan traccia una serie di connessioni originali e ardite che dalla contemplazione di un affresco a Rimini lo porterà a Corfù, perfetta «sintesi di Italia e Grecia e quindi dell’Adriatico». Non c’è un luogo migliore per cercare le risposte ai mille interrogativi che emergono sul nostro tempo, in cui lo Stato nazionale è ormai in declino e le identità tornano a farsi multiple e fluide, un processo di cui l’Adriatico è stato e continua a essere il prototipo. Qui infatti la metamorfosi di confini, popoli e alleanze va avanti da secoli, con l’incessante dissolversi di comunità, poi riaggregatesi in forme nuove e oggi alle prese con un futuro incerto, minacciato dal populismo reazionario, dalla destabilizzazione politica e dalla lotta per il controllo delle fonti energetiche. In dialogo con grandi autori, tra cui Claudio Magris e Boris Pahor, ed esponenti dei governi locali e delle istituzioni internazionali, come l’ex presidente albanese Sali Berisha, rivivono vicende più vicine a noi o dimenticate. Ravenna, Venezia, Trieste, Lubiana, Rijeka, Zagabria, Dubrovnik, Tirana e Durazzo sono alcune delle tappe che l’autore tocca ripercorrendo un’area oggi più che mai crocevia dei destini del mondo. Uno scenario che spinge a chiederci che cosa è l’Europa, dove inizia e dove finisce, e soprattutto che cosa diventerà, e davanti al quale Kaplan confessa, con il coraggio e lo slancio del viaggiatore: «Sono certo solo della perdita di certezze».

Oggi più che mai, la storia del Medio Oriente è quella del mondo intero e ogni riflessione che lo riguarda, per quanto indiretta, si rivela uno specchio della nostra civiltà. Per riuscire a intravedere il futuro attraverso il passato, Robert Kaplan ritorna al genere più congeniale al suo modo di vivere e raccontare la geografia: il viaggio e il reportage, intesi come «l’arte di superare la prima impressione». Oggetto di questa nuova avventura è il Grande Medio Oriente, ovvero, in senso lato, la regione islamica del deserto e delle pianure, la vasta area che va dal Marocco al Turkestan orientale, fino a lambire la Cina; dai Balcani allo Yemen; dalla realtà della Libia a quella dell’Afghanistan. Tra scoperte e memorie, la narrazione si dipana lungo l’Egitto, l’Etiopia, l’Arabia Saudita, l’Iraq e l’Iran. Mescolando i ricordi delle sue tante esplorazioni alle letture di esperti, storici e scrittori, Kaplan rievoca epoche e paesaggi, muovendosi agilmente tra realtà locali complesse, forte di un’unica certezza: «attraversare un paese, annusarne gli odori, guardare come si comportano le persone, non offre risposte definitive, ma aiuta. Permette di toccare con mano il terreno, per non lasciare che i luoghi reali si dissolvano e diventino astratti». Questo sguardo si rivela fecondo, capace di riflettere su eventi e scenari, millenni e dinastie, caos e imperi, senza esaurire ma moltiplicando gli interrogativi: «Quale direzione prenderà il corso delle cose? Quali dimensioni politiche assumerà questa vasta regione che occupa gran parte della fascia subtropicale tra l’Europa e l’Estremo Oriente? Riuscirà a tirarsi fuori da decenni di instabilità e malgoverno e a trovare un compromesso tra la tirannia da un lato e l’anarchia dall’altro?».

After the publication of The Origins of Totalitarianism in 1951, Hannah Arendt undertook an investigation of Marxism, a subject that she had deliberately left out of her earlier work. Her inquiry into Marx’s philosophy led her to a critical examination of the entire tradition of Western political thought, from its origins in Plato and Aristotle to its culmination and conclusion in Marx. The Promise of Politics tells how Arendt came to understand the failure of that tradition to account for human action. From the time that Socrates was condemned to death by his fellow citizens, Arendt finds that philosophers have followed Plato in constructing political theories at the expense of political experiences, including the pre-philosophic Greek experience of beginning, the Roman experience of founding, and the Christian experience of forgiving. It is a fascinating, subtle, and original story, which bridges Arendt’s work from The Origins of Totalitarianism to The Human Condition, published in 1958. These writings, which deal with the conflict between philosophy and politics, have never before been gathered and published. The final and longer section of The Promise of Politics, titled “Introduction into Politics,” was written in German and is published here for the first time in English. This remarkable meditation on the modern prejudice against politics asks whether politics has any meaning at all anymore. Although written in the latter half of the 1950s, what Arendt says about the relation of politics to human freedom could hardly have greater relevance for our own time. When politics is considered as a means to an end that lies outside of itself, when force is used to “create” freedom, political principles vanish from the face of the earth. For Arendt, politics has no “end”; instead, it has at times been–and perhaps can be again–the never-ending endeavor of the great plurality of human beings to live together and share the earth in mutually guaranteed freedom. That is the promise of politics.

This is a succinct and elegant argument for the specificity of a philosophy of tragedy, as opposed to a poetics of tragedy espoused by Aristotle.

This book is a splendid profile of an extraordinary man, and a radically new interpretation of one of the most controversial figures in history.Caesar played a leading role in the politics and culture of a world empire, dwarfing his contemporaries in ambition, achievement and appetite. For that, he has occupied a central place in the political imagination of Europe ever since. Yet he remains something of an enigma, struck down by his own lieutenants because he could be neither comprehended nor contained. In surviving evidence he emerges as incommensurate and nonpareil, just beyond the horizons of contemporary political thought and understanding.The result of Luciano Canfora's many years of research is a fascinating portrait of the Roman dictator, combining the evidence of political history and psychology. The product of a comprehensive study of the ancient sources, it paints an astonishingly detailed portrait of a complex personality whose mission of 'Romanisation' lies at the root of modern Europe.Key Features* Easy, engaging and pleasurable to read* About 42 chronological studies of events create a full portrait of Caesar and the contemporary Roman background* Space is devoted to the details surrounding his assassination

'Arguably the most important intellectual alive' New York Times An indispensable collection of Noam Chomsky’s talks on the past, present and future of the politics of power Noam Chomsky is universally accepted as one of the world’s leading intellectuals of the modern era. Now, for the first time, Peter R. Mitchell and John Schoeffel have assembled the best of Chomsky's talks on the politics of power. With an eye to political activism and the media’s role in popular struggle, as well as US foreign and domestic policy, Chomsky reinterprets the events of the past three decades, from foreign policy during the Vietnam War to the decline of welfare under the Clinton administration. Highlighting America’s myriad of social inequalities and political issues while offering timely advice for much needed change, Understanding Power is definitive Chomsky. ‘Chomsky ranks with Marx, Shakespeare and the Bible as one of the ten most quoted sources in the humanities’ Guardian ‘Powerful and timely...his analysis is fair, meticulously researched and fascinating’ Observer

Translated here into English for the first time is a monumental work of literary history and criticism comparable in scope and achievement to Eric Auerbach’s Mimesis. Italian critic Francesco Orlando explores Western literature’s obsession with outmoded and nonfunctional objects (ruins, obsolete machinery, broken things, trash, etc.). Combining the insights of psychoanalysis and literary-political history, Orlando traces this obsession to a turning point in history, at the end of eighteenth-century industrialization, when the functional becomes the dominant value of Western culture. Roaming through every genre and much of the history of Western literature, the author identifies distinct categories into which obsolete images can be classified and provides myriad examples. The function of literature, he concludes, is to remind us of what we have lost and what we are losing as we rush toward the future.
