Milano. Una zona come tante, abitata da persone come tante. Almeno a prima vista. Perché quella zona è in qualche modo unica, e unici, nel bene come nel male, sono coloro che vivono lì; un esercito di vinti, di sconfitti, una “crociata di pezzenti” che tuttavia, al di là delle difficoltà in cui si trova, vive, e in qualche misterioso modo riesce persino a essere felice, o quantomeno non smette di provarci. Di questa gente, uomini e donne, Ripaferdine (storie di cortile) racconta le vicende, storie minime eppure importanti, sospese tra sorriso e pianto, commedia e tragedia. E il racconto è memoria, memoria di un uomo che giovane visse in quella zona e che ora, per lavoro (è ingegnere edile del Comune di Milano e deve supervisionare una serie di migliorie decise per Expo 2015), è costretto a tornarci. «I giorni d’estate. Per noi ragazzi si consumavano in interminabili sfide a calcetto. Il nostro campo da gioco era un cortile ingombro di macchine. Il rettangolo irregolare di spazio che divideva i cinque palazzoni popolari nei quali abitavamo: due su un lato lungo, un terzo a fronteggiarli e i restanti due ai due lati. La gente della zona passava, noi la guardavamo. Giorno dopo giorno la imparavamo. Imparavamo le persone».

Time magazine's 'All-Time list of 100 Novels' Frank Alpine, a drifter fleeing from his past, runs straight into struggling Brooklyn grocer Morris Bober. Seeing a chance to atone for past sins, Frank becomes Bober's assistant and keeps shop when the owner takes ill. But it is Bober's daughter, Helen, who gives Frank a real reason to stay around, even as he begins to steal from the store. Widely considered as one of the great American-Jewish novels, The Assistant is a classic look at the social and racial divides of a country still in its infancy, and a stunning evocation of the immigrant experience - of cramped circumstances and great expectations.

"Pursuing and expanding the concept of the "novelized essay" that had served him so well in Navigator of the Flood, his first venture into writing, Brelich here takes up the biblical story of Abraham and Sarah. After the long quiescent interval succeeding the Flood, Abraham, repudiating the idols worshipped by his forebears, "discovers" God - which is to say that the Lord once again takes an interest in human affairs, settling upon another willing but divided patriarch as the instrument for procreating His chosen people. It is Abraham's servile infatuation with his frigid and narcissistic wife Sarah - "the most beautiful woman in the world" - that poses the greatest stumbling block to the Lord's designs. But this is also the story of a long and painful marriage between two mutually exasperating people. How the miracle of the "holy embrace" is finally accomplished - that is, how their son Isaac (whose name means "Laughter") is conceived in accordance with God's command - forms the substance of this profound and witty book." --Book Jacket.

There is more to education than teaching and learning, and more to anthropology than making studies of other people’s lives. Here Tim Ingold argues that both anthropology and education are ways of studying, and of leading life, with others. In this provocative book, he goes beyond an exploration of the interface between the disciplines of anthropology and education to claim their fundamental equivalence. Taking inspiration from the writings of John Dewey, Ingold presents his argument in four close-knit chapters. Education, he contends, is not the transmission of authorised knowledge from one generation to the next but a way of attending to things, opening up paths of growth and discovery. What does this mean for the ways we think about study and the school, teaching and learning, and the freedoms they exemplify? And how does it bear on the practices of participation and observation, on ways of study in the field and in the school, on art and science, research and teaching, and the university? Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is intended as much for educationalists as for anthropologists. It will appeal to all who are seeking alternatives to mainstream agendas in social and educational policy, including educators and students in philosophy, the social sciences, educational psychology, environmentalism and arts practice.

Celine's fascination with ballet spans his literary career: three of the pieces in this volume were written around the same time that he published his great novel, Voyage au bout de le nuit, which he dedicated to the dancer Elisabeth Craig. At the time of his death, according to his wife - also a dancer - he was planning a book devoted to dance, and in 1936, after finishing his second novel, he visited Russia, where he hoped to have some of his ballets performed. None were, but he continued nevertheless. This is the collected works, published for the first time in English.

Viscount Medardo is bisected by a Turkish cannonball on the plains of Bohemia; Baron Cosimo, at the age of twelve, retires to the trees for the rest of his days; Charlemagne's knight, Agiluf, is an empty suit of armour. These three vivid images are the points of departure for Calvino's classic triptych of moral tales, now published in one volume and all displaying the exuberant talent of a master storyteller.

A novel of a Jewish family coming together, and coming apart, by an award-winning “master storyteller” (The Wall Street Journal). “Anyone who has had experience of the sad and subtle ways in which human beings torment one another under license of family ties will appreciate the merits of A.B. Yehoshua’s A Late Divorce.” —London Review of Books A powerful story about a family—and a country —in crisis. The father of three grown children comes back to Israel to get a divorce from his wife of many years; another woman, newly pregnant, awaits him in America. Narrated in turn by each family member—husband and wife, sons and daughter, young grandson—the drama builds to a crescendo at the traditional family gathering on Passover eve. “Each character here is brilliantly realized. . . . Thank goodness for a novel that is ambitious and humane and that is about things that really matter” —New Statesman “A master storyteller whose tales reveal the inner life of a vital, conflicted nation.” —The Wall Street Journal

The French poet and author of Mount Analogue shares a satirical allegory of the absurdities of intellectual society. As in Rene Daumal’s cult classic Mount Analogue, A Night of Serious Drinking concerns an autobiographical protagonist on a mind-expanding journey. But rather than seeking enlightenment, the anonymous narrator recounts an evening getting drunk with a group of friends. As the party becomes intoxicated and exuberant, the narrator’s wandering lead him from seeming paradises to the depths of pure hell. The characters our hero encounters go by absurd titles, such as Anthographers, Fabricators of useless objects, Scienters, Nibblists, and Clarificators. Yet the inhabitants of these strange realms are only too familiar: scientists dissecting an animal in their laboratory, a wise man surrounded by his devotees, politicians angling for influence, and poets expounding their rhetoric. Their hilarious antics and intellectual games reveal incisive social commentary that combines poetic imagination and philosophical depth.
