La scia di sangue lasciata da Donald Trump nell’ultima parte del suo mandato, con ben tredici condanne a morte federali eseguite in sette mesi, ha solo momentaneamente interrotto la consolidata tendenza verso la progressiva diminuzione del ricorso alla pena capitale negli Stati Uniti d’America. Una tendenza affermatasi nell’ultimo decennio, che questo testo racconta attraverso i passaggi principali: la cancellazione della pena di morte in alcuni stati, l’esaurimento delle scorte di uno dei prodotti impiegati per l’iniezione letale, gli orientamenti dell’opinione pubblica, le campagne delle organizzazioni abolizioniste, le sentenze dei tribunali federali e statali e soprattutto le storie dei prigionieri messi a morte, vittime in alcuni casi di veri e propri esperimenti su esseri umani. La storia della pena di morte negli Usa, come in ogni altro luogo, è infarcita di errori e di orrori. Ma la consapevolezza che sia necessario “mollare il boia” inizia a farsi strada. In questo libro spieghiamo come e perché. “Nel lavoro di Riccardo Noury, la pena di morte negli Stati Uniti d’America è esposta in tutta la sua fredda brutalità: statistiche, percentuali, che per loro stessa natura sono fredde, asettiche. Eppure raccontano di esseri umani a cui lo Stato si è sentito in diritto di togliere la vita, il bene più prezioso che abbiamo. Leggere le ultime parole che vengono pronunciate dal direttore del carcere al condannato poco prima di morire, soffermarsi sulle frasi finali dei condannati, scrutare nei minimi dettagli la procedura legata ai farmaci utilizzati durante l’iniezione letale o nella camera a gas ha un pregio: quello di trasformare quella che vorrebbe essere una procedura burocratica in carne viva, in sangue, in calore umano”.

Mentre Washington continua a rivendicare la guida del “mondo libero”, contrapponendosi ai regimi autoritari dell’Europa orientale e dell’Asia, conoscere le istituzioni degli Stati Uniti non è una semplice curiosità, ma una chiave di lettura indispensabile per capire quanto avviene intorno a noi. Questo saggio, agile e scorrevole, ne delinea le principali caratteristiche, affrontando sia il loro assetto odierno, sia la loro trasformazione dall’indipendenza del Paese alla presidenza di Joe Biden. Pur senza trascurare la dimensione locale, approfondisce la sfera federale e analizza le prerogative dei poteri esecutivo, legislativo e giudiziario nonché i loro rapporti nell’ambito del federalismo. Illustra, infine, gli strumenti per mantenere l’equilibrio, stabilito dalla Costituzione, tra le tre maggiori istituzioni della nazione (presidenza, Congresso e Corte Suprema), anche alla luce dei tentativi eversivi di Donald Trump.

This “gripping social history” (Publishers Weekly), with all the passion and pathos of a classic opera, chronicles the riveting first campaign against the death penalty waged in 1895 by American pioneer activist, Cora Slocomb, Countess of Brazzà, to save the life of a twenty-year-old illiterate Italian immigrant, Maria Barbella, who killed the man who had abused her. Previously published as The Trials of Maria Barbella. In 1895, a twenty-two-year-old Italian seamstress named Maria Barbella was accused of murdering her lover, Domenico Cataldo, after he seduced her and broke his promise to marry her. Following a sensational trial filled with inept lawyers, dishonest reporters and editors, and a crooked judge repaying political favors, the illiterate immigrant became the first woman sentenced to the newly invented electric chair at Sing Sing, where she is also the first female prisoner. Behind the scenes, a corporate war raged for the monopoly of electricity pitting two giants, Edison and Westinghouse with Nikola Tesla at his side, against each other. Enter Cora Slocomb, an American-born Italian aristocrat and activist, who launched the first campaign against the death penalty to save Maria. Rallying the New York press, Cora reached out across the social divide—from the mansions of Fifth Avenue to the tenements of Little Italy. Maria’s “crime of honor” quickly becomes a cause celebre, seizing the nation’s attention. Idanna Pucci, Cora’s great-granddaughter, masterfully recounts this astonishing story by drawing on original research and documents from the US and Italy. This dramatic page-turner, interwoven with twists and unexpected turns, grapples with the tragedy of immigration, capital punishment, ethnic prejudice, criminal justice, corporate greed, violence against women, and a woman’s right to reject the role of victim. Over a century later, this story is as urgent as ever.

‘A very deadly squib… likely to upset the equanimity of upholders of capital punishment far more than any ponderous tome of “high explosive” argument or invective.’ Observer A Handbook on Hanging is a satiric tribute to that unappreciated mainstay of civilisation: the hangman. With barbed wit, Charles Duff not only writes of hanging, but also of electrocution, decapitation and gassing; of innocent men executed and of executions botched; of bloodlust mobs and the political expedients of the great. A classic satire, admired by Bertholt Brecht and Dylan Thomas, Duff’s polemic makes it clear that whatever else capital punishment may be said to be – justice, vengeance, a deterrent – it is certainly killing.

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.

Our present system of criminal prosecution originated in England in the sixteenth century. Langbein traces its development, which was at its most intense during the reign of Queen Mary. He shows how the common law developed a system of official investigation and prosecution that incorporated the medieval institution of the jury trial. He places equal emphasis on the role of the justices of the peace as public prosecutors. The second half of the book compares the English system with those of the Holy Roman Empire (Germany) and France. He concludes by refuting the popular opinion that the English were strongly indebted to continental models. "This is an excellent work of scholarship, exhibiting wide research, erudition and analytical ability." --Joseph H. Smith, Harvard Law Review 88 (1974-1975) 485 JOHN LANGBEIN is Sterling Professor of Law and Legal History at Yale Law School. He has held academic positions at Stanford University, Oxford University, the Max-Planck-Institut für Europäische Rechtsgeschichte and the Max-Planck-Institut für Ausländisches und Internationales Strafrecht. Langbein is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the International Academy of Comparative Law, the International Association of Procedure Law, and other organizations in the fields of legal history and comparative law. Some of his most distinguished publications and articles include History of the Common Law: The Development of Anglo-American Legal Institutions (2009), Torture and the Law of Proof: Europe and England in the Ancient Regime (1977), and "The Supreme Court Flunks Trusts," Supreme Court Review (1991).

An international bestseller and the basis for the hugely successful film, Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is one of the defining works of the 1960s. In this classic novel, Ken Kesey’s hero is Randle Patrick McMurphy, a boisterous, brawling, fun-loving rebel who swaggers into the world of a mental hospital and takes over. A lusty, life-affirming fighter, McMurphy rallies the other patients around him by challenging the dictatorship of Nurse Ratched. He promotes gambling in the ward, smuggles in wine and women, and openly defies the rules at every turn. But this defiance, which starts as a sport, soon develops into a grim struggle, an all-out war between two relentless opponents: Nurse Ratched, backed by the full power of authority, and McMurphy, who has only his own indomitable will. What happens when Nurse Ratched uses her ultimate weapon against McMurphy provides the story’s shocking climax. “BRILLIANT!”—Time “A SMASHING ACHIEVEMENT...A TRULY ORIGINAL NOVEL!”—Mark Schorer “Mr. Kesey has created a world that is convincing, alive and glowing within its own boundaries...His is a large, robust talent, and he has written a large, robust book.”—Saturday Review
