In questo volume gli studiosi di editoria Gian Carlo Ferretti e Giulia Iannuzzi ricostruiscono attraverso 45 profili un esaustivo panorama delle collane che hanno espresso il meglio dell'offerta letteraria nel nostro paese, dal Novecento a oggi. Dalle collane più celebri e ormai storiche - come "Lo specchio" e i "Gialli di Mondadori", "I coralli" e "I gettoni" di Einaudi, "I Narratori" di Feltrinelli, la "Biblioteca Adelphi", la "BUR" di Rizzoli - fino alle tendenze più recenti e innovative dell'editoria, "Storie di uomini e libri" ci accompagna in un percorso affascinante e spesso sorprendente tra le politiche, le pratiche, gli orientamenti delle case editrici che maggiormente hanno contribuito a plasmare la nostra identità culturale e il nostro immaginario collettivo. Un prezioso strumento di lavoro per studenti e cultori della materia, ma anche una guida per chi desidera affacciarsi, da lettore curioso, nel "dietro le quinte" della letteratura, dove accanto a chi i libri li scrive c'è anche chi "li fa": progettandoli e curandoli, con passione, coraggio, talvolta persino con un po' di sana incoscienza. Libro.

Brossura. Condition: new. Roma, 2022; br., pp. 324, ill., cm 12x17.(I Libri di Viella. 421). Questo libro ripercorre i testi di viaggiatori provenienti dal Vecchio Mondo che sono entrati in contatto con i popoli nativi del Nord America nel Settecento, e che hanno tentato di comprenderne e scriverne la storia. Al centro dell'attenzione vi sono le conseguenze che questi incontri hanno avuto sull'idea di tempo nella mente europea. La curiosità proto-etnografica di amministratori coloniali, esploratori, commercianti, militari, naturalisti di origine francese e britannica, la loro osservazione della varietà sociale e culturale dei popoli nativi complica l'uso dell'uomo americano come esempio di "selvaggio" - nobile o ignobile - tipico delle teorizzazioni di progresso e sviluppo settecentesche. Nel sapere storico prodotto da questi testimoni assumono un ruolo centrale problemi legati alla comunicazione, alla traduzione, all'esistenza o meno di fonti scritte, che rivelano affascinanti tensioni tra un eurocentrismo epistemologico di fondo e tentativi di relativizzazione culturale. Libro.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Published anonymously in 1733, Memoirs of the Twentieth Century is one of the earliest futuristic novels known in Anglophone and Euro-American literature. It foregrounds an acceleration of history brought about by an increasing degree of global interconnectedness, and the exclusion of prophetism and astrology as credible ways to know the future. The work of Samuel Madden, an Irish writer and philanthropist of Whig sympathies, it consists of a collection of diplomatic letters composed in the 1990s, which the narrator claims were brought to him from the time to come by a supernatural entity. Through these correspondences, twentieth-century world scenarios are spread out before the reader, in which British naval power rules the waves and international commerce, while the transnational scheming of the Jesuits threatens the independence of weaker European courts. This book - which includes a study followed by an annotated edition of the text - assesses the cultural significance of this literary work, as an apt observatory on how historical time as a cultural construction was shaped, during the eighteenth century, by new forms of transnational circulation of information, and by the dubious space carved out in European culture by seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century debates on the nature of historical knowledge. Through and by means of the Memoirs case study, this volume aims to contribute to a wider cultural history of the future and speculative fiction. The novel's ironic distancing of beliefs considered to be superstitious and absurd - such as divination techniques and occult and magical disciplines - offers an exceptional testimony to the negotiation of the boundaries of verisimilitude and credibility within a religious enlightenment. Memoirs of the Twentieth Century (1733) is a fascinating piece of early eighteenth-century literature and an important chapter in the history of futuristic imagination and of an increasing global interconnectedness. Featuring an essay that contextualises the novel and an annotated edition of the text, this study explores issues centr Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
