![]() ![]() Author: Jones Lucy Publisher: Laterza «La gravidanza, poi il parto, e - soprattutto - il primo periodo della maternità semplicemente non combaciavano con gli insegnamenti ricevuti; non riuscivo a ricollegare la mia esperienza personale alle nozioni che avevo assimilato riguardo a corpo, mente, individuo e io relazionale, e alle nostre strutture di vita collettive. All'inizio credevo di essere impazzita. Cercavo disperatamente di comprendere che cosa mi stesse succedendo. Poi ho cominciato a capire che la mia mente era stata colonizzata da idee inadeguate sull'essere donna, sulla maternità, sul valore e persino sull'amore. Avvertivo un cambiamento inquietante. Sprizzavo di felicità perché ero incinta, e una creatura cresceva dentro di me, ma con il passare delle settimane mi accorgevo di essere più sommessa, più introversa, sempre più confusionaria. Era come se qualcuno si fosse trasferito dentro di me, avesse messo casa nel mio utero e nel mio cervello. Di certo era solo frutto della mia immaginazione, pensavo; credevo che la gravidanza fosse un processo fisico relativamente lineare, con qualche giornata 'ormonale' qua e là. Pensavo che il bambino sarebbe cresciuto dentro di me, come in un vaso di fiori, e io sarei rimasta la stessa di sempre. Ma le cose non stavano così. Scoprire la matrescenza mi ha dato il coraggio di parlare apertamente con altre madri, e ho scoperto che molte erano colte alla sprovvista dall'esperienza quanto me. Molte credevano che le difficoltà fossero colpa loro». Attingendo a vari ambiti di ricerca - neuroscienze e biologia evolutiva, psicoanalisi e terapia esistenziale, sociologia, ec € 20,00

![]() ![]() Author: Jones Lucy Publisher: Edizioni Ambiente Perché negli ultimi anni si è registrata un'esplosione di allergie e intolleranze causate da condizioni infiammatorie croniche? E come mai tra i bambini e gli adolescenti sono sempre più diffusi i deficit di attenzione e le sindromi da iperattività, per non parlare dei dati allarmanti che molti paesi fanno registrare su obesità e disturbi mentali? Secondo Lucy Jones, la risposta è sempre la stessa: viviamo gran parte delle nostre vite in luoghi chiusi, connessi a dispositivi elettronici e separati - spesso terrorizzati - dal mondo naturale, e questa "estinzione dell'esperienza" sta provocando ogni genere di problemi. Come se non bastasse, questo quadro è aggravato dagli impatti sempre più feroci dei cambiamenti climatici e della distruzione della biodiversità, che dalle foreste dell'Amazzonia al parco sotto casa ci stanno privando della possibilità di godere dei benefici del contatto con il vivente. Intrecciando autobiografia - il racconto della depressione, l'esperienza della maternità - interviste, intuizioni poetiche e analisi della letteratura scientifica più aggiornata, La specie solitaria analizza le relazioni tra il mondo naturale e la nostra psiche e i nostri corpi, e dimostra perché il contatto con la natura è fondamentale per il nostro benessere fisico e mentale. Le soluzioni per recuperare e rinsaldare questo legame profondo ci sono, e vanno adottate con urgenza proprio a partire dalle città, dove già si concentra metà della popolazione globale. Ecco allora il racconto delle città "giardino", delle esperienze di giardinaggio comunitario, delle iniziative di rigen € 18,00

![]() ![]() Author: Schwarzenbach Annemarie, Jones Lucy Renner (TRN) Publisher: Seagull Books Since the rediscovery of her work in the late 1980s, Annemarie Schwarzenbach—journalist, traveler, archaeologist, opium addict, and antifascist novelist—has become a European cult figure among free spirited bohemians. Available in English for the first time and beautifully translated by Lucy Renner Jones, Death in Persia is a collage of the political and the private, documenting Schwarzenbach’s intimate feelings and public ideas during four trips to Persia between 1933 and 1939. From her reflections on individual responsibility in the lead-up to World War II to her reactions to accusations from her friends of having deserted Europe and the antifascist cause for Tehran, Schwarzenbach recorded a great deal about daily life in Persia, and, most personally, her ill-fated love affair with Jalé, the daughter of the Turkish ambassador. Chronologically preceding Schwarzenbach’s exquisite travelogue All the Roads are Open, an account of her automobile journey from Geneva to Afghanistan in 1939, Death in Persia is the enthralling diary of an astute observer standing at the crossroads of major events in history and a gorgeous new addition to Annemarie Schwarzenbach’s growing English-language oeuvre. € 13,50

![]() ![]() Author: Schwarzenbach Annemarie, Jones Lucy Renner (TRN) Publisher: Seagull Books Annemarie Schwarzenbach—journalist, novelist, antifascist, archaeologist, and traveler—has become a European cult figure for bohemian free spirits since the rediscovery of her works in the late 1980s. Lyric Novella is her story of a young man's obsession with a Berlin variété actress. Despite having his future career mapped out for him in the diplomatic service, the young man begins to question all his family values under Sibylle's spell. His family, future, and social standing become irrelevant when set against his overriding compulsion to pick her up every night from the theater so they can go for a drive. Schwarzenbach's clear, psychologically acute prose makes this novella an evocative narrative, with many intriguing parallels to her own life. In fact, she admitted after publication that her hero was in fact a young woman, not a man, leaving little doubt that Lyric Novella is a literary tale of lesbian love during socially and politically turbulent times. Praise for the German Edition “The subject of Annemarie Schwarzenbach's story is not failed love— Sibylle's apparent emotional coldness—but the failure of love—the protagonist's helpless inability, in the crucial moment, to accept his human responsibility toward the beloved.”— Neue Zürcher Zeitung “The work bears the face of its time, but it is so gentle, silent and veiled that one can barely exclude the person behind the mask. A mask is in fact this face, because the hero is a heroine who does not want to be seen.”—Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung € 13,40

![]() ![]() Author: Popescu Lucy (EDT), Seymour-Jones Carole (EDT), Kunzru Hari (EDT) Publisher: New York Univ Pr The freedom to write is under threat today throughout the world, with more than 1,000 writers, journalists, and publishers known to be imprisoned or persecuted in more than 100 countries. Writers Under Siege bears witness to the power and danger of the pen, and to the powerful longing for the right to use it without fear. Collected here are fifty contributions by writers who have paid dearly for the privilege of writing. Some have been tortured; some have been killed. All understand the cost of speaking up and speaking out. This book was prepared by PEN, which is both the world's oldest human rights organization and the oldest international literary organization. It commemorates PEN's eighty-fifth anniversary and celebrates PEN's work by giving voice to persecuted writers from around the globe. The contributors come from more than twenty countries, from Belarus to Zimbabwe. Many are well-known in the English-speaking world, including Orhan Pamuk, from Turkey, winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Literature; Harold Pinter, from England, winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize for Literature; Aung San Suu Kyi, from Burma, winner of the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize; and Anna Politkovskaya, from Russia, the noted journalist and author who was murdered in 2006, shortly after writing the piece that appears in this collection. Other contributors are less famous, perhaps, but their contributions are no less compelling. In prose and poetry, in fiction and non-fiction, they reveal the personal consequences of war, conflict, terrorism, and authoritarianism. While the pieces collected here differ in their settings and their subjects, all are riveting. Grouped into four sections — Prison, Death, Asylum, and The Freedom to Write — they call our attention to the fundamental humanity we share and highlight the inhumanity we can so easily condone. Contributors include: Chris Abani, Angel Cuadra Landrove, Asiye Guzel, Augusto Ernesto Llosa Giraldo, Mamadali Makhmudov, Orhan Pamuk, Harold Pinter, Anna Politkovskaya, Aung San Suu Kyi, Thich Tue Sy, Gai Tho, and Ken Saro-Wiwa. € 25,90
