Fashion is at once a familiar yet mysteriously elite world that we all experience, whether we’re buying a new pair of jeans, reading Vogue, or watching the latest episode of Project Runway. Lars Svendsen dives into that world in Fashion, exploring the myths, ideas, and history that make up haute couture, the must-have trends over the centuries, and the very concept of fashion itself. Fashion opens with an exploration of all the possible meanings encompassed by the word “fashion,” as Svendsen probes its elusive place in art, politics, and history. Ultimately, however, he focuses on the most common use of the term: clothing. With his trademark dry wit, he deftly dismantles many of the axioms of the industry and its supporters. For example, he points out that some of the latest fashions shown on runways aren’t actually “fashionable” in any sense of the word, arguing that they’re more akin to modern art works, and he argues against the increasingly prevalent idea that plastic surgery and body modification are part of a new wave of consumerism. Svendsen draws upon the writings of thinkers from Adam Smith to Roland Barthes to analyze fashion as both a historical phenomenon and a philosophy of aesthetics. He also traces the connections between the concepts of fashion and modernity and ultimately considers the importance of evolving fashions to such fields as art, politics, and philosophy. Whether critiquing a relentless media culture that promotes perfect bodies or parsing the never-ending debate over the merits of conformity versus individual style, Lars Svendsen offers an engaging and intriguing analysis of fashion and the motivations behind its constant pursuit of the new.

Questo libro racconta una pagina della Resistenza sconosciuta ai più: la storia dei 240 ventenni – 222 ufficiali e 18 sottufficiali – che dopo l’8 settembre 1943 si arruolarono volontari nell’esercito inglese e combatterono nell’8a Armata Britannica contro i tedeschi, contribuendo a riscattare l’onore del nostro Paese. Un testo intessuto di testimonianze dirette che ricostruiscono questa parte nascosta, ma non trascurabile, della Guerra di liberazione e di altri eventi chiave, come la perdita dell’Istria o la sconfitta della monarchia. Nella Postfazione Massimo de Leonardis delinea il contesto storico della cobelligeranza e gli avvenimenti che l’hanno accompagnata. Il volume fu editato una prima volta nel 1998, quando molti dei protagonisti di questi fatti erano ancora vivi; questa nuova edizione, sottolinea Antonio Besana in Prefazione, risulta particolarmente importante perché pone argine a una pertinace lacuna: «Per molti (troppi) anni è stata tramandata, infatti, la storia di una guerra di liberazione combattuta dai soli partigiani, unici artefici della lotta contro l’occupazione tedesca. Raramente nelle celebrazioni del 25 aprile sono ricordati i militari che dopo l’8 settembre 1943 decidono di rispettare il giuramento di fedeltà al Re, come pure tutti i militari internati in Germania per avere rifiutato di aderire alla Repubblica Sociale Italiana».

For more than 50 years, Giacomo Debenedetti's October 16, 1943 has been considered one of the best accounts of the shockingly brief roundup of 1000 Roman Jews from the oldest Jewish community in Europe for the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Completed a year after the event, Debenedetti's intimate details and vivid glimpses into the lives of the victims are especially poignant because Debenedetti himself was there to witness the event, which forced him and his entire family into hiding. This collection also includes Eight Jews, the companion piece to October 16, 1943, which was written in response to testimony about the Ardeatine Cave Massacres of March 24, 1944. In this essay, Debenedetti offers insights into the grisly horror and into assumptions about racial equality. Both of these works appear together, giving American readers a glimpse into the extraordinary mind of the man who was Italy's foremost critic of 20th century literature.

Winner of the National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category A monumental work of nonfiction on a wartime atrocity, its sixty-year denial, and the impact of its truth Jan Gross's hugely controversial Neighbors was a historian's disclosure of the events in the small Polish town of Jedwabne on July 10, 1941, when the citizens rounded up the Jewish population and burned them alive in a barn. The massacre was a shocking secret that had been suppressed for more than sixty years, and it provoked the most important public debate in Poland since 1989. From the outset, Anna Bikont reported on the town, combing through archives and interviewing residents who survived the war period. Her writing became a crucial part of the debate and she herself an actor in a national drama. Part history, part memoir, The Crime and the Silence is the journalist's account of these events: both the story of the massacre told through oral histories of survivors and witnesses, and a portrait of a Polish town coming to terms with its dark past. Including the perspectives of both heroes and perpetrators, Bikont chronicles the sources of the hatred that exploded against Jews and asks what myths grow on hidden memories, what destruction they cause, and what happens to a society that refuses to accept a horrific truth. A profoundly moving exploration of being Jewish in modern Poland that Julian Barnes called "one of the most chilling books," The Crime and the Silence is a vital contribution to Holocaust history and a fascinating story of a town coming to terms with its dark past.

In Where You Once Belonged, the bestselling and award-winning novelist of Eventide, Kent Haruf tells of a small-town hero who is dealt an enviable hand--and cheats with all of the cards. Deftly plotted, defiantly honest, Where You Once Belonged sings the song of a wounded prairie community in a narrative with the earmarks of a modern American classic. In prose as lean and supple as a spring switch, Haruf describes a high school football star who wins the heart of the loveliest girl in the county and the admiration of men twice his age. Fun-loving, independent, Burdette engages in the occasional prank. But when he turns into a man, his high jinks turn into crimes--with unspeakable consequences. Now, eight years later, Burdette has returned to commit his greatest trespass of all. And the people of Holt may not be able to stop him.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A spare yet eloquent, bittersweet yet inspiring story of a man and a woman who, in advanced age, come together to wrestle with the events of their lives and their hopes for the imminent future. In the familiar setting of Holt, Colorado, home to all of Kent Haruf's inimitable fiction, Addie Moore pays an unexpected visit to a neighbor, Louis Waters. Her husband died years ago, as did his wife, and in such a small town they naturally have known of each other for decades; in fact, Addie was quite fond of Louis's wife. His daughter lives hours away, her son even farther, and Addie and Louis have long been living alone in empty houses, the nights so terribly lonely, especially with no one to talk with. But maybe that could change? As Addie and Louis come to know each other better--their pleasures and their difficulties--a beautiful story of second chances unfolds, making Our Souls at Night the perfect final installment to this beloved writer's enduring contribution to American literature.

Questa è una storia di passioni, di slanci generosi ma anche di inganni, di doppi giochi, di rivalità intestine, di tradimenti, di deliberati raggiri, che i documenti recentemente desegretati degli Archivi Nazionali di Londra ci mostrano in tutta la loro crudezza. Una storia che alla fine lasciò l’amaro in bocca ai suoi protagonisti, uomini che vissero i tempi di ferro del fascismo e della guerra. Uno di loro, Benedetto Croce, pensò, fino al 25 luglio 1943, che non si potessero volgere le armi contro la patria neppure quando quella patria si era seduta dalla parte sbagliata del tavolo. Un altro, Gaetano Salvemini, reputò che era possibile, anzi doveroso farlo, ma solo a patto di conservare all’Italia che sarebbe uscita dal conflitto, perdente sí ma piú libera e piú giusta, la sua indipendenza e la sua integrità territoriale. Altri ancora, Emilio Lussu, Alberto Tarchiani, Aldo Garosci, Max Salvadori, Leo Valiani, scelsero di militare sotto altra bandiera, senza nessuna remora, e si arruolarono nelle file dello Special Operations Executive, la punta di lancia dell’intelligence britannica, ritenendo che la lotta contro il Moloch del nazifascismo, «guerra santa» per tutelare i diritti dell’umanità tutta intera e non «guerra di Stati e di popoli», aboliva ogni gretto, ristretto, egoistico sentimento di appartenenza nazionale. Una storia che alla fine vide i suoi protagonisti nelle vesti di vincitori ma forse anche di vinti. Perché, dopo l’alba radiosa del 25 aprile 1945, tutti gli attori di questa vicenda dovettero riconoscere, con Croce, magari senza ammetterlo se non nel foro riservato della loro coscienza, che quella guerra, in cui si erano impegnati, sacrificando molto della loro esistenza, non era stata «solo la “guerra per la libertà”, ma, come tutte le altre, per il dominio, per il vantaggio economico e politico, per l’egoismo di Imperi e di Nazioni, e che la guerra per la libertà si dovrà combattere, poi, e con mezzi piú vari e piú adatti che non siano le armi». Questo libro narra le loro vicende, senza emettere giudizi, con un forte sentimento di pietas, nella consapevolezza del travaglio interiore che la scelta di combattere sotto altra insegna comportò per la maggioranza di essi, anche se non per tutti. «Anche stanotte dormito poco, da mezzanotte alle quattro. Fisso è il pensiero alle sorti dell’Italia: il fascismo mi appare già un passato, un ciclo chiuso, e io non assaporo il piacere della vendetta; ma l’Italia è un presente doloroso». Benedetto Croce
