![]() ![]() Author: Rydell Anders Publisher: Centauria La notte del 10 maggio 1933, le strade e le piazze tedesche sono illuminate da grandi falò di libri di Marx, Mann, Brecht, Hemingway e molti altri autori che il regime hitleriano condanna come esempi di una cultura decadente e corrotta. Nell'ombra, intanto, si compie un altro misfatto: i nazisti s'impadroniscono di migliaia di biblioteche e rubano sistematicamente milioni di volumi, in gran parte di proprietà di ebrei in fuga dal Paese o avviati ai campi di sterminio. Alcuni riusciranno a portare con sé un diario o un libro molto amato nel viaggio verso l'inferno, ma molti di più perderanno tutto. Sullo sfondo di questa immane tragedia due gerarchi, il capo delle SS Heinrich Himmler e l'ideologo nazista Alfred Rosenberg, sono in competizione tra loro: il primo costruisce un'immensa biblioteca di "nemici del Reich" nel suo quartier generale di Berlino, il secondo ha un piano più ambizioso, cioè porre le basi per un nuovo sistema nazista di educazione e ricerca universale... Anders Rydell ha viaggiato per l'Europa e raccolto centinaia di testimonianze e documenti per raccontare la storia dimenticata di questi "ladri di libri". La sua indagine lo ha portato dal Centro bibliografico delle comunità ebraiche di Roma ai segreti dei massoni dell'Aia, dalla biblioteca degli ebrei sefarditi di Amsterdam agli scaffali yiddish di Vilnius. Componendo una grande, coraggiosa storia che ha al centro il potere della lettura: perché dove scompaiono i libri scompare l'umanità. € 24,00
Scontato: € 10,80

![]() ![]() Author: Lavold Elsebeth, Rydell Anders (PHT), Hansen Robin Orm (TRN) Publisher: Trafalgar Square Pub Viking Patterns for Knitting is the result of years of research by Swedish knitwear designer Elsebeth Lavold, who explored patterns of ornamentation found on Viking artifacts, such as swords, buckles, combs, and rune stones. Now, by means of clever knitting innovation (which makes it possible to start a knitted knot in the middle of a sweater), she has adapted these richly intricate knots and braids into gorgeous, fully modern garment designs. The 14 Knitting projects include a hooded sweater with interlaced half-hitches; a cardigan with delicate figure-eight knots; an elegant tunic with serpentine ropework; and father-and-son pullovers inspired by rune stones. Sixty motifs are clearly presented in pictures, text, and charts, including the entire runic alphabet and a striking collections of Viking artifacts. Viking Patterns for Knitting is an adventure in Nordic forms with roots a thousand years deep. € 20,50

![]() ![]() Author: Lavold Elsebeth, Rydell Anders (PHT) Publisher: Trafalgar Square Pub Ever since her ground-breaking book Viking Patterns for Knitting was published, Elsebeth Lavold has been recognized as one of the world’s leading experts on cabling. In the book, described as ?an indispensable milestone in 20th century knitting literature”, she introduces her own innovation, using lifted increases to create interlace patterns instead of just to shape garments, and to bring new life to the ornamental heritage of the Vikings as adornment on modern knitwear. With more than a decade of added experience and continued research, she is now ready to take the concept a step further. Still firmly based in her Scandinavian roots, she has studied cultures from all over the globe to find similar types of patterns. This has resulted in a fascinating compilation of ornamental expressions, ancient as well as contemporary, and just as in Viking Patterns she uses them as a launch pad for her own unique designs. Elsebeth genuinely enjoys sharing her knowledge. In addition to the abundance of beautiful garments presented in the book with complete instructions, she has analyzed a huge number of pattern types and displays them in both swatch and chart form, to allow you to make your own designs based on her research. € 27,40
