Budd Schulberg Fronte del porto Garzanti Per tutti Romanzi e realtà n. 17 Traduzione: Carlo Rossi Fantonetti Anno: 21 settembre Nuova edizione Pagine: 323 + Collana Codice ISBN: - Copertina: copertina morbida colorata con disegno. Stato: Buono stato. Non letto. Peso del libro: gr. 220 La fotografia riproduce il libro. Contenuto: Fronte del porto, sia nella sua mitica versione cinematografica sia in quella letteraria, più violenta, più amara e pensosa, è tra le immagini simboliche persistenti di un'epoca. Fu letto come la rappresentazione della prepotenza mafiosa contro chi non si piega, nascosta sotto la superficie ordinata della metropoli moderna; e forse, più universalmente, della violenza della massa totalitaria contro il singolo. E in quest'ultima visione, incarnata nel controllo del sindacalismo criminale, fu più amato negli ambienti culturali lontani da ogni simpatia per il socialismo. La storia è quella del pugile fallito Terry Malloy, un portuale, parzialmente invischiato nel sistema, che trova la forza di ribellarsi, grazie all'amore della dolce Katie, sorella di una vittima del sindacato, e al sostegno morale dell'eroico Padre Barry. Oggi si può leggerlo con maggiore libertà: come una possente raffigurazione di un mondo del lavoro cacciato ai margini, e abbandonato alla lotta per la sopravvivenza. Il racconto è pieno di immagini sociologiche, di descrizioni precise della concorrenza per il posto di lavoro, del sistema del caporalato, e dell'uso cinico fattone dai tecnocrati. E, in questo, contiene il malinconico messaggio di quanto disperata sia, in un mondo siffatto, la ribellione solitaria, che può nutrirsi di rapide vampate di tenerezza e di eroismo. Prezzo: euro 2,00 + spese di spedizione (euro 2,00 piego di libri ordinario, euro 4,00 raccomandata piego di libri).

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kaplan, Hester, PUBLISHER: University of Georgia Press, In nine stories of tension-filled choices, difficult awakenings, and ironic twists, characters in The Edge of Marriage ride the wavering line between commitments and promises. Full of conflict, betrayal, illness, manipulation, and indecision, these stories portray men and women on the brink of defeat and drastic change. In "Claude Comes and Goes" a husband confesses his sympathy and affection for his wife's dying former lover. "The Spiral" captures the crippling effects of miscommunication and unresolved grief. In "Dyaesthesia" a wife and mother grapples with her feelings about her marriage and her husband after he is maimed in an accident. Characters trapped in troubled relationships and on the edge of society walk along Hester Kaplan's "edge": an out-of-wedlock child, a grown victim of child abuse, the male lover of a married man with AIDS. The title stoW confronts the complexity of friendship, love, and marriage, as a husband faces his wife's emotional breakdown and his own surfacing resentments. This sometimes startling, frequently poignant collection is illuminated by keen insight and tempered with somber hope.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Das, Lama Surya, PUBLISHER: Rodale Press, The best-selling author of "Awakening the Buddha Within" addresses life's most provocative and tantalizing questions simply, directly, and powerfully. Every life is a journey through the unknown. Along the way, however, we tend to encounter the same perplexing questions again and again. Some are cosmic enigmas that have always tested the human mind: What is my purpose in life? What happens after I die? Others are puzzles presented by daily life in modern society: What, if anything, justifies assisted suicide? What is my personal responsibility to the homeless? According to Lama Surya Das, one of the foremost Western Buddhist scholars and teachers, the more we seek to resolve these mysteries, the more fully we live. Along with his own personal beliefs, the author presents a variety of thoughtful points of view representing different schools of Buddhism, other religions, spirituality in general, and pragmatism. "The Big Questions" challenges readers in the most stimulating and thoughtful way to formulate individual, authentic responses to life's big questions.

Cliffhangers abound in this haunting paranormal mystery. The characters are so real you can hear them speak. From the very first sentence the author takes the reader on a remarkable journey through one man's struggle to survive in the rugged Idaho backwoods after an airplane crash; invites you to live with his family as they test their faith and deal with his apparent disappearance; and introduces you to the diverse friends he finds along the way. In the spirit of a Louis La'mour western, with an insight into the human psyche reminiscent of Dean Koontz, James Dawson offers the reader a well-written literary road trip you will travel again and again.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Facaros, Dana / Pauls, Michael, PUBLISHER: Cadogan Guides, Cadogan's original three cities guide is now in its fifth edition--and travel companies consistently cite this combination as their most sought-after Italian tour. These are three remarkable cities with three remarkable stories to tell. Rome went out and conquered the world, and in its retirement came back to remake itself as Europe's most ornate capital. Venice built itself up from a Dark Age swamp to become a fairy city of canals. Florence built its empire on finance and wool, and lavished the profits on art and science. Cadogan explores their three very different characters: stately Rome, with its Coliseum and the Sistine Chapel; dreamy Venice, and the eternal romance of a gondola ride along its canals; and Florence, bursting with more paintings, sculptures, and monuments than anywhere else in Italy. They all combine to offer a sublime introduction to the country, or a perfect multi-center trip for travelers with limited time. Cadogan's essential guide uncovers the divine, the great, and the quirky in each city.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cabot, Meg, PUBLISHER: Listening Library, It's just that telling the truth is so... tricky. She knows she shouldn't be making out with a drama club hottie behind her football-player boyfriend's back. She should probably admit that she can't stand eating quahogs (clams), especially since she's running for Quahog Princess in her hometown's annual Quahog Festival. And it would be a relief to finally tell someone what really happened the night Tommy Sullivan was spray-painted on the new wall outside the gymnasium-in neon orange, which still hasn't been sandblasted off. After all, everyone knows that's what drove Tommy out of town four years ago. But now Tommy Sullivan has come back. Katie is sure he's out for revenge, and she'll do anything to hang on to her perfect (if slightly dishonest) existence. Even if it means telling more lies than ever. Even if, now that Tommy's around, she's actually-no lie-having the time of her life.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bain, Ken, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, What makes a great teacher great? Who are the professors students remember long after graduation? This book, the conclusion of a fifteen-year study of nearly one hundred college teachers in a wide variety of fields and universities, offers valuable answers for all educators. The short answer is--it's not what teachers do, it's what they understand. Lesson plans and lecture notes matter less than the special way teachers comprehend the subject and value human learning. Whether historians or physicists, in El Paso or St. Paul, the best teachers know their subjects inside and out--but they also know how to engage and challenge students and to provoke impassioned responses. Most of all, they believe two things fervently: that teaching matters and that students can learn. In stories both humorous and touching, Bain describes examples of ingenuity and compassion, of students' discoveries of new ideas and the depth of their own potential. "What the Best College Teachers Do" is a treasure trove of insight and inspiration for first-year teachers and seasoned educators.
