Newman John Henry; Grassi O. (cur.) Title : Il cuore del mondo. Antologia degli scritti
Author: Newman John Henry; Grassi O. (cur.)
Publisher: Rizzoli

Figura di spicco della cultura europea dell'Ottocento, John Henry Newman è oggetto di nuovo e crescente interesse, favorito dalla sua beatificazione da parte di Benedetto XVI nel settembre 2010 e per l'attualità del suo pensiero in campo filosofico, teologico, letterario e educativo. Fece scandalo nell'Inghilterra vittoriana la sua conversione dall'anglicanesimo al cattolicesimo: questo atto coraggioso e drammatico fu un profetico segnale per molti uomini e donne del suo tempo e continua a essere un monito per gli uomini e le donne del nostro tempo. Appassionato interprete dell'esperienza umana, Newman elaborò, all'interno della tradizione analitico-empirista, un'originale dottrina dell'assenso e della certezza, che rivalutando l'esistenza concreta superò ogni forma di scetticismo. Fu, in tutta la sua lunga vita, affascinato dal Mistero cristiano. Teologo innovatore e studioso scrupoloso, riconobbe nella Chiesa di Roma la vera continuazione delle prime comunità cristiane. Questa raccolta di brani, tratti dalle sue più importanti opere, vuole delineare, in modo semplice e accessibile a tutti, un profilo del pensiero e della figura di Newman, con l'auspicio che, anche in Italia, un numero sempre maggiore di lettori si accosti agli scritti di questo autore.

Dormann Henry O. (COM) Title : Letters from Leaders
Author: Dormann Henry O. (COM)
Publisher: Lyons Pr

Possibly no one on Earth personally knows as many people at the helms of nations, businesses, religions, charitable organizations, and institutes of learning as Henry O. Dormann—founder, chairman, and editor-in-chief of LEADERS magazine, whose circulation is limited to such leading figures. Here, he brings together the first-ever exclusive collection of wisdom and inspiration addressed to young people from the world's most influential people—advice on leadership, goal achievement, public service, and life journeys.

 

Letters from Leaders is a beautifully designed book comprising nearly eighty letters from those who have done so much to shape our world today—from Muhammad Ali to four U.S. Presidents, Mikhail Gorbachev, King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand and King Abdullah II of Jordan, and the Dalai Lama; from Cathie Black to T. Boone Pickens, Muriel Siebert, and Donald Trump. The letters, some as facsimile reproductions of handwritten originals, are each introduced with a biographical note by Dormann.

 

As put so aptly by Dormann in his introduction, “All kings and queens, presidents, Nobel Laureates, chairmen and chairwomen, CEOs, and world leaders have one thing in common: They want what they have achieved to be useful and to be handed over to a younger generation. . . . The leaders in these pages have 'lived' and now offer their experiences as a treasure to ambitious and open minds—those who want to be something in life.”

Dormann Henry O. Title : Lettere dai leader. Consigli per l'eccellenza dai personaggi più influenti del mondo
Author: Dormann Henry O.
Publisher: Rizzoli

Quale metodo migliore, per raccontare il proprio vissuto e perpetuare le proprie idee, che scrivere una lettera aperta alle generazioni future? Forte della sua esperienza - e dei contatti personali di altissimo livello - come fondatore e direttore della rivista "Leaders", l'autore ha raccolto circa 80 lettere scritte da alcune delle personalità più importanti del mondo nei campi più svariati - business, sport, politica, religione - e le ha organizzate per temi di attualità: dall'ottimismo nell'affrontare le sfide, alla necessità di una buona preparazione, dal rapporto tra passione e soddisfazione nel lavoro, all'importanza dei mentori, fino all'essenza del vero successo. Ciascuna lettera è preceduta da una nota biografica del mittente, in cui vengono descritti brevemente la sua carriera, il ruolo che ricopre e gli insegnamenti fondamentali che si possono trarre dalla sua attività. Come mette in evidenza Dormann nell'introduzione, "i leader in queste pagine hanno 'vissuto' e ora offrono la loro esperienza come un tesoro a chi è ambizioso e ha la mente aperta - in definitiva a chi vuole essere qualcuno nella vita".

Henry O., Lynch P. J. (ILT) Title : The Gift of the Magi
Author: Henry O., Lynch P. J. (ILT)
Publisher: Candlewick Pr

O. Henry's classic tale of the wisest gifts of Christmas, brought to life by P.J. Lynch's extraordinary art, is itself a gift to share and treasure.

In a shabby New York flat, Della sobs as she counts the few coins she has saved to buy a Christmas present for her husband, Jim. A gift worthy of her devotion will require a great sacrifice: selling her long, beautiful hair. Jim, meanwhile, has made a sacrifice for Della that is no less difficult. As they exchange gifts on Christmas Eve, the discovery of what each has done fills them with despair, until they realize that the true gifts of Christmas can be found more readily in their humble apartment than in any fine store. O. Henry paints a masterly portrait of unfaltering love, a haven from the harsh world outside. The poignancy of his story is captured in P.J. Lynch's eloquent art, wherein every glance, every gesture, tells a subtle truth.

Robertson Henry O. Title : In the Habit of Acting Together
Author: Robertson Henry O.
Publisher: Univ of Louisiana at Lafayette

This new political history on the formation of the Whig Party is a path breaking analysis of Louisiana politics during the 1830s. From award winning historian and commentator, Henry O. Robertson, this book is a fascinating presentation of how Louisiana differed in many ways from the American political mainstream yet remained oddly parallel in other regards. Economic development, ethnicity, slavery, and regional rivalry between sections of the state had a hand in creating the issues and ideas that fired the imagination of early Whigs. Colorful characters and exciting elections make up this lively history which every aficionado of Louisiana's political past will want to read. The Whigs are hardly known today because the party existed for only a few decades before the Civil War. Lost have been the struggles and triumphs of the Whig organizers who helped guide the destiny of the state during the boom period of the 1830s. This book attempts to recover that past and add a sharper perspective to the scholarly literature on the creation of the Whig party. Read and enjoy this thoroughly researched and well-written account of what one early Whig organizer called friends who got into “the habit of acting together.”

James Henry; Matthiessen F. O. (cur.) Title : Racconti di artisti
Author: James Henry; Matthiessen F. O. (cur.)
Publisher: Einaudi

Questa è una raccolta storica di racconti di James, uscita negli Stati Uniti nel 1944 e ora proposta per la prima volta al pubblico italiano. Il suo ideatore, Francis Otto Matthiessen, è stato uno dei più grandi studiosi di James, ma anche di Whitman, Hawthorne, Melville e altri ancora. La sua è una raccolta che ha contribuito non poco alla fortuna moderna dello scrittore americano, creando, all'interno del corpus dei racconti jamesiani, un canone di testi basati sulla riflessione intorno all'arte e alla scrittura. Non sono tutti i racconti che James scrisse con protagonisti artisti e scrittori: ma tutti i racconti scelti da Matthiessen si tengono fra loro, oltre che per la qualità, per struttura, tematiche esplicite e sotterranee.

Blake Victoria, Henry O. Title : Selected Stories of O. Henry
Author: Blake Victoria, Henry O.
Publisher: Barnes & Noble

Selected Stories of O. Henry, by O. Henry, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics:
New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.
 
O. Henry mastered the art of the humorous, energetic tale that ends with a sudden, ironic twist. In “After Twenty Years,” for example, two boys agree to meet at a particular spot exactly twenty years later. Both are faithful, but in the intervening years one boy has turned into a criminal, the other into a policeman. Behind the rendezvous lurks a powerful dramatic situation with a fascinating moral dilemma—all dealt with in a few brief pages.


This is just one of the many literary gems in Selected Stories of O. Henry, a collection of 45 of O. Henry's most renowned and entertaining short stories. Each one offers insights into human nature and the ways it is affected by love, hate, wealth, poverty, gentility, disguise, and crime—themes that ran through the author's own life. Born William Sidney Porter, O. Henry started writing while in prison for embezzlement. Later he moved to New York, and his tales romanticizing the commonplace, particularly the life of ordinary New Yorkers, became highly popular. The most widely read author of his time, O. Henry died penniless but left behind a wealth of short stories that endure as classics of the genre.
