![]() ![]() Author: Hoffmann Banesh; Dukas Helen Publisher: Bompiani In questo libro gli autori hanno cercato di dare un'idea dell'uomo Einstein lasciando che la sua immagine emergesse, quando era possibile, dai suoi scritti e dedicando molto spazio alla sua scienza, poiché la scienza faceva talmente parte dell'uomo da meritare una diffusa trattazione. Scritto in modo accessibile anche al lettore non specializzato, il libro offre quindi il nucleo della teoria della relatività e di altri concetti scientifici senza trascurare il lato umano, il mondo degli affetti e dei rapporti sociali di Einstein. € 8,20

![]() ![]() Author: Hoffmann Peter Publisher: Franco Muzzio Editore Il XXI secolo vedrà il declino del petrolio come fonte energetica principale. A livello internazionale esistono diverse valutazioni, ma anche quelle più ottimistiche prevedono che si raggiunga il massimo della produzione di petrolio non oltre il 2020. Da quel momento la domanda supererà l'offerta, ma i prezzi avranno già iniziato la loro crescita. Per quanti progressi si possano prevedere in questo campo, le fonti rinnovabili - sole, vento, biomasse, geotermia, onde e maree - sono di per se stesse intermittenti. Per queste ragioni è giunto il momento di investire in una nuova direzione: l'era dell'idrogeno, che rappresenta il vettore energetico pulito del futuro. € 20,00

![]() ![]() Author: Hoffmann Donald Publisher: Univ of Pittsburgh Pr This is the first thorough guide to the design and history of “Kentuck,” a splendid mountain house in southwestern Pennsylvania designed in 1953–1954 by Frank Lloyd Wright. Inspired by Fallingwater, the famous house only seven miles away that Wright designed above the waterfalls of Bear Run, local businessman I. N. Hagan and his wife, Bernardine, commissioned the 86-year-old Wright to design this home. Kentuck, constructed on an isolated knoll, or knob, is now owned by Lord Palumbo of London and is open for public tours. This vivid account tells the story of how the house came to be, detailing the many complexities faced by the Hagans—from the delights and difficulties in dealing with Wright to the problems with topography and architectual plans. In fulfilling Wright’s vision, the Hagans and their contractor managed to construct a building of great beauty, dignity, and serenity. More than fifty photographs, drawings, and diagrams accompany a detailed descriptive text to illustrate how the peculiarities of the plan, based on the equilateral triangle, resulted in a house that generates countless vistas, indoors and out, and spatial effects of great charm and intimacy. Frank Lloyd Wright’s House on Kentuck Knob brings to life an unusual work of residential architecture. It is the perfect introduction to Kentuck, and for those who have visited there, a lovely reminder of this luminous but modest house. € 14,20

![]() ![]() Author: Hoffmann E. T. A., Bell Anthea, Adler Jeremy D. Publisher: Penguin Classics It was E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) who first explored many of the themes and techniques which were later used by writers from Dickens to Dostoyevsky, Poe to Kafka, Baudelaire to Marquez. His career reached a glorious climax in The Tomcat Murr, perhaps the strangest novel of the nineteenth century. Hoffmann was a follower of Cervantes and Sterne, a pioneering 'magic realist', fascinated by Gothic horror, extreme mental states and supernatural events occurring within sharply (and sometimes satirically) rendered social settings. A talented composer and painter, he portrayed himself in the guise of Johannes Kreisler - the hypochondriac, antisocial and moody but brilliant musician. In this book, a vain and very bourgeois tomcat sets out to write his memoirs, using a biography of Kreisler as a blotting pad. By a printer's error, the two lives get spliced together into a bizarre double narrative. € 16,60

![]() ![]() Author: Hoffmann Yoel, Levenston Edward A. (TRN), Kriss David (TRN) Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc In kaleidoscopic fragments, Hoffmann refracts Jewish popular lore and folk wisdom through a postmodernist prism, brightening his prose with snatches of verse, songs, diary excerpts, letters, ominous dreams, lush erotic passages and Yiddish sayings. "The Book of Joseph" tells the tragic story of a widowed Jewish tailor and his son in 1930s Berlin. "Katschen" gives an astounding child's-eye view of a boy orphaned in the new state of Israel. The novellas radiate the original poetry of Hoffmann's atomized hypnotic language, which Rosmarie Waldrop has called "utterly enchanting—it's like nothing else." € 10,70

![]() ![]() Author: Hoffmann Yoel (COM) Publisher: Tuttle Pub Although the consciousness of death is in most cultures very much a part of life, this is perhaps nowhere more true than in Japan, where the approach of death has given rise to a centuries-old tradition of writing jisei, or the "death poem" written in the very last moments of the poet's life. From passionate samurai writins and meditative Zen haiku to the satirical poems of later centuries, Hundreds of jisei have been translated into English here, many for the first time. The result is a moving, powerful collection whose philosophical and aethetic profundity will give readers pause. € 15,50

![]() ![]() Author: Gisevius Hans Bernd, Dulles Allen Welsh, Hoffmann Peter Publisher: Perseus Books Group When on July 20, 1944, a bomb—boldly placed inside the Wolf's Lair (Hitler's headquarters in East Prussia) by the German Anti-Nazi Resistance—exploded without killing the Führer, the subsequent coup d'état against the Third Reich collapsed. Most of the conspirators were summarily shot or condemned in show trials and sadistically hanged. The conspiracy involved a wide circle of former politicians, diplomats, and government officials as well as senior military men. The Resistance had started as early as 1933 and involved several planned putsches and assassination attempts. Hans B. Gisevius knew or met the major figures—including Beck, Canaris, Oster, Goerdeler, and von Stauffenberg—and barely escaped after the coup's failure. One of the few survivors of the German Anti-Nazi Resistance, Gisevius traces its history, from the 1933 Reichstag fire to Germany's defeat in 1945, in a book as riveting as it is exceptional. € 25,00

![]() ![]() Author: Hoffmann Ernst T. A. Publisher: Einaudi Scrive Magris nella prefazione: "Hoffmann è stato al contempo l'anticipatore del realismo borghese e del surrealismo, il narratore scapigliato di avventure ottocentesche e l'analizzatore dell'inconscio, l'umorista trascendentale e il sognatore di fiabe, l'antesignano dell'angoscia moderna e della dissociazione della personalità, l'esponente dello slancio romantico e l'ironico superatore dei limiti ideologici del romanticismo. Nei suoi racconti si trova la pittura del mondo provinciale tedesco, ancora sacro-romano-imperiale e la più alta dimensione della reverie romantica, un gusto attualissimo della citazione letteraria e un interesse scientifico per i problemi psichici, il più agile e brioso piglio dell'avventura e la riviviscenza del romanzo gotico". € 7,75
