Title :
Politica e martirio. Il rogo di Primavalle tra storia e memoriaAuthor: King Amy Publisher: Donzelli Il 16 aprile 1973, nella borgata di Primavalle, zona nord-ovest della capitale, intorno alle 3 di notte, qualcuno versa una tanica di benzina davanti alla porta di un appartamento. È l'abitazione della famiglia Mattei: il padre, Mario, è segretario della sede locale del Movimento sociale italiano. Nell'incendio moriranno due dei sei figli: Virgilio, di 22 anni, e Stefano, di 10. Gli autori dell'attentato sono tre ragazzi di Potere operaio; saranno dichiarati colpevoli solo nel 1987, ma di fatto non pagheranno mai. La tragedia - cui seguirono depistaggi e mistificazioni - viene ricostruita in queste pagine da una studiosa inglese, che con il vantaggio della «distanza» illumina la vicenda e per la prima volta ne chiarisce le distorsioni, intrecciando il racconto storico e la documentazione giudiziaria, le reazioni della stampa e le testimonianze di uno dei figli sopravvissuti e della gente del quartiere. Il «rogo di Primavalle» si delinea così come un punto di svolta nella storia della violenza politica in Italia: per la sinistra, che fino a quel momento se ne era considerata immune, significò la fine dell'innocenza; per il partito di Giorgio Almirante, nell'occhio del ciclone per una sequela di azioni terroristiche ad opera degli estremisti, significò la possibilità di un riscatto. L'attentato favorì infatti la costruzione di una retorica intessuta di sacrificio e martirio, alimentata sia dall'esito del primo processo sia dalla campagna contro il Msi portata avanti dai media, autori di una manipolazione della memoria giunta fino ai nostri giorni.

But her bliss is doomed; weeks after arriving, Liv is viciously murdered. Gabe, the only one who can see her, is now her sole link to the world of the living.

Title :
The Prehistory of Gold ButteAuthor: Mcguire Kelly, Hildebrandt William, Gilreath Amy, King Jerome, Berg John Publisher: Univ of Utah Pr The Prehistory of Gold Butte uses a theoretical perspective rooted in human behavior ecology and other foraging models to present the results of one of the largest and most comprehensive archaeological investigations ever undertaken in southern Nevada, involving the systematic survey of more than 31,000 acres, the documentation of more than 377 sites, and the excavation of nine prehistoric sites. Gold Butte—at the crossroads of the Mojave Desert, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau in southern Nevada—has a 12,000-year record of human occupation with archaeological elements that can be traced to all three culture zones. Dramatic developments occurred in this area of the Desert West. Farmers suddenly appeared in the Virgin River basin about 1,600 years ago. At such iconic sites as Lost City, Main Ridge, and Mesa House, full village and agricultural life developed over the span of a few hundred years only to completely vanish by AD 1250 after a series of droughts and other cultural disruptions. The Patayan held sway for several hundred years, between AD 1100 and 1500, but didn’t advance much beyond the Colorado River corridor. Finally, the Southern Paiute arrived and occupied not only the Virgin River basin and Gold Butte but much of the northwestern quadrant of the Southwest from at least the time of historic contact (AD 1500) to the present. This mix of cultures illustrates historical contingency, inplace development, and external relationships that should be expected along a boundary area such as Gold Butte. By looking at hinterlands adjoining the prehistoric settlements that clustered along the Virgin River corridor before, during, and after the Puebloan period, the authors suggest that changes in settlement- subsistence and lifeways at core settlements along the riverine corridor have corresponding effects on the character and intensity of hinterland occupation. € 46,80

Title :
Wives and DaughtersAuthor: Gaskell Elizabeth Cleghorn, King Amy M. (INT) Publisher: Barnes & Noble Wives and Daughters, by Elizabeth Gaskell, 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. Tremendously popular in her lifetime, Elizabeth Gaskell has often been overshadowed by her contemporaries the Brontës and George Eliot. Yet the reputation of her long-neglected masterpiece Wives and Daughters continues to grow, fulfilling Henry James's prophecy that the novel would “continue for years to come to be read and relished . . .so delicately, so elaborately, so artistically, so truthfully, and heartily is the story wrought out.” An enchanting tale of romance, scandal, and intrigue in the gossipy English town of Hollingford around the 1830s, Wives and Daughters tells the story of Molly Gibson, the seventeen-year-old daughter of a widowed country doctor. When her father remarries, she forms a close friendship with her new stepsister—the beautiful and worldly Cynthia—until they become love rivals for the affections of Squire Hamley's sons, Osbourne and Roger. When sudden illness and death reveal some secrets while shrouding others in even deeper mystery, Molly feels that the world is out of joint and it is up to her—trusted by all but listened to by none—to set it right. Amy M. King is Assistant Professor of English at St. John's University in New York City and the author of Bloom: The Botanical Vernacular in the English Novel (Oxford University Press, 2003). € 9,20

Title :
Jude the ObscureAuthor: Hardy Thomas, King Amy M. Publisher: Barnes & Noble Jude the Obscure, by Thomas Hardy, 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:
Virginia Woolf called him ?the greatest tragic writer among English novelists,” but Thomas Hardy was so distressed by the shocked outrage that greeted Jude the Obscure in 1895 that he decided to quit writing novels. For in telling the story of Jude Fawley, whose many attempts to rise above his class are crushed by society or the forces of nature, Hardy had attacked Victorian society's most cherished institutions?marriage, social class, religion, and higher education.
A poor villager, Jude Fawley longs to study at the elite University of Christminster, but his ambitions are thwarted by class prejudice?and an earthy country girl who tricks him into marriage by pretending to be pregnant. Entrapped in a loveless marriage, he becomes a stonemason and falls in love with his cousin?the intellectual, free-spirited Sue Bridehead, who is also unhappy in marriage. Sue leaves her husband to live with Jude and eventually bears his children out of wedlock. Their poverty and the weight of society's disapproval begin to take their toll on the couple, forcing them into a shattering downward spiral that ends in one of the most shocking scenes in all of literature.
A stunning masterpiece, Jude the Obscure is Hardy's bleakest and most personal novel. Amy M. King is an Assistant Professor of Literature at the California Institute of Technology, and the author of Bloom: The Botanical Vernacular in the English Novel, forthcoming from Oxford University Press. She is also the author of articles on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British literature and culture, and has taught widely in the English novel at Haverford College and Caltech. King received her doctorate in 1998 from Harvard University in English and American Literature and Language. € 8,00
