![]() ![]() Author: Geary Patrick J. Publisher: Carocci Come sono state raffigurate le donne nelle opere degli autori antichi e medievali? Quale ruolo è stato loro attribuito (o non attribuito) nelle leggende delle origini? In questo volume Patrick J. Geary sceglie alcuni momenti e testi specifici dell'Occidente fra l'età antica e il XII secolo. Senza limitare la ricerca a una sola regione o a un'unica tradizione religiosa, lo studioso mette in luce le differenze e le ambiguità del modo in cui gli autori - sempre maschi - hanno utilizzato figure femminili quali Gambara, progenitrice dei Longobardi, Maria, madre di Gesù, Giuditta, imperatrice carolingia, le Amazzoni per dare identità a un popolo, a una famiglia, a una religione o a una nazione. A differenza di altri libri che affrontano lo stesso tema, l'autore indaga non solo il ruolo rivestito nelle leggende dalle donne, ma anche le visioni ideologiche degli uomini che ne hanno scritto: la conclusione alla quale giunge è che gli autori di queste narrazioni avevano nei confronti delle donne contemporanee un atteggiamento contraddittorio, che si riflette nelle loro opere. € 14,00

![]() ![]() Author: Geary Patrick J. Publisher: Carocci La vera storia delle nazioni che hanno popolato l'Europa nell'Alto Medioevo non comincia nel secolo VI, bensì nel XVIII. Ciò non significa negare che in passato sia esistito un sentimento nazionale o di identità collettiva. Ma il clima intellettuale permeato di nazionalismo e gli scontri politici del secolo XVIII e del XIX hanno trasformato il nostro modo di vedere i gruppi sociali e politici al punto da rendere impossibile una visione "oggettiva" di ciò che furono le categorie sociali nell'Alto Medioevo. Proprio partendo da queste considerazioni, Geary ripercorre il tema dell'identità delle popolazioni barbariche e delle sue varie declinazioni in rapporto alla tradizione politico-istituzionale, giuridica e letteraria dell'Antichità classica e cristiana, in quei secoli cruciali che vanno dalla "caduta" dell'impero romano all'incoronazione di Carlo Magno. Dalle pagine del Mito delle nazioni - saggio storico e metodologico ad un tempo, ma soprattutto atto d'accusa contro ogni manipolazione della storia - emerge un'Europa medievale continuamente rimodellata dalle conquiste e dalle migrazioni, un'Europa multiculturale ante litteram, su cui si infrangono le rivendicazioni identitarie e i particolarismi religiosi e linguistici anche di molti politici contemporanei.

![]() ![]() Author: Geary Rick Publisher: Nbm Pub Co Bringing to life turn-of-the-century New York and the scintillating career of one of its most famous architects, as well as the vices that cost him his life, this true-crime graphic novel tells the story of one of the most scandalous murders of the times. Stanford White was one of New York’s most famous architects, having designed many mansions and the first Madison Square Garden; his influence on New York’s look at the turn of the century was pervasive. As he became popular and in demand, he also became quite self-indulgent: he had a taste for budding young showgirls on Broadway, even setting up a private apartment to entertain them in, including a room with a red velvet swing. When he met Evelyn Nesbit—an exquisite young nymph, cover girl, showgirl, inspiration for Charles Dana Gibson’s drawing The Eternal Question and later for the movie The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing—he knew he was on to something special. However, Evelyn eventually married a young Pittsburgh decadent heir with a dark side who developed a deep hatred for White and what he may or may not have done to her. € 14,30

![]() ![]() Author: Geary Rick Publisher: Nbm Pub Co The perfect ingredients for a juicy scandal and fascinating investigation are presented in this masterful graphic novel retelling of an unsolved murder from the 1920s. On the evening of September 14, 1922, Reverend Edward Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills take a stroll in the New Brunswick town park. Shots are heard and two days later their bodies are found lying neatly next to each other, love letters strewn around them, and a scarf obscures the fact that Mrs. Mills' throat has been slit. The two had been involved in an affair and the press hungrily devours the story. No evidence is sufficient to lead to an indictment, so the mystery intensifies with conjecture: Was this a dual suicide? Was this perpetrated by a jealous rival? Four years later the case reopens due to new evidence indicting the reverend's wife, but she is an upstanding member of the community who vehemently denies that her husband ever had an affair. This is a tragic story told with beguiling relish and expert illustration in a distinctive style fitting of the era. € 14,30

![]() ![]() Author: Geary Rick Publisher: Hill & Wang Pub Trotsky was a hero to some, a ruthless demon to others. To Stalin, he was such a threat that he warranted murder by pickax. This polarizing figure set up a world conflict that lasted through the twentieth century, and in Trotsky: A Graphic Biography, the renowned comic artist Rick Geary uses his distinct style to depict the stark reality of the man and his times. Trotsky's life becomes a guide to the creation of the Soviet Union, the horrors of World War I, and the establishment of international communism as he, Lenin, and their fellow Bolsheviks rise from persecution and a life underground to the height of political power. Ranging from his boyhood in the Ukraine to his fallout with Stalin and his moonlight romance with Frida Kahlo, Trotsky is a stunning look at one of the twentieth century's most important thinkers and the far-reaching political trends that he launched. € 15,70
