Leonardo. Il genio che inventò Milano di Marina Migliavacca

 

 

Nel 1482 Leonardo da Vinci entra per la prima volta a Milano. Ha trent'anni, poca esperienza del mondo e tra le mani solamente una spavalda lettera di presentazione per il signore della città, l'ambizioso Ludovico il Moro, in cui si descrive capace ed esperto in ogni campo, dall'arte della guerra all'edilizia. Vuole fare fortuna, è giovane e ha tanta voglia di mettersi in gioco. Riuscirà perfettamente nel suo intento, perché quando partirà dopo quasi tre decenni alla volta della corte francese di Francesco I, lascerà una città profondamente mutata, una metropoli moderna e all'avanguardia, fiera delle proprie tradizioni ma già orientata verso l'Europa. Gran parte di questa trasformazione è merito suo: alla corte sforzesca Leonardo ha infatti potuto sviluppare ed esercitare tutte le sue abilità, dall'architettura all'ingegneria idraulica, dalla pittura dei celeberrimi ritratti alla scenografia di spettacoli teatrali con effetti speciali mai visti prima. Milano, con la vivacità e lo spirito dinamico che la contraddistinguono, è il luogo perfetto per permettere al suo genio eclettico di spaziare senza limiti, lasciando segni che restano ancora visibili a distanza di cinque secoli. In questo libro Marina Migliavacca accompagna il lettore in un itinerario avvincente tra luoghi ricchi di fascino e storia, raccontando con precisione e gusto l'avventuroso rapporto tra il più grande genio italiano e la città che gli ha dato la fama.

Milano nascosta. Dalle pietre romane alla città che sale di Manuela Alessandra Filippi

 

 

La storia di Milano come non è mai stata raccontata: epoche storiche, chiese, palazzi, la città operosa e quella della scienza e della tecnica, storie di uomini e di luoghi per conoscere la città in modo intimo e da una prospettiva inedita. Milano è composta da tante città diverse che, riunite, danno il volto alla città di oggi. L'autrice ha scomposto un tessuto apparentemente omogeneo, lo ha dissezionato, per rintracciarne i fili segreti, raccogliendo storie dimenticate, particolari che danno la chiave per conoscere meglio edifici notissimi o per scoprire per la prima volta luoghi nascosti della città. È un volume che insegna soprattutto a guardare con occhio nuovo una città che appare giorno dopo giorno sempre più bella. Ai milanesi e a chi viene da fuori.

Milano insolita e segreta di Massimo Polidoro

 

 

 

Scoprite una biblioteca quattrocentesca i cui affreschi sono ancora visibili e una chiusa progettata da Leonardo da Vinci, il luogo in cui si trova il bunker segreto di Mussolini e il museo dei vigili del fuoco. Sposatevi a Milano sotto gli affreschi del Tiepolo, visitate gli atelier di artisti e designer solitamente chiusi al pubblico, o alcune collezioni private eccezionali, come il museo dei cavalli a dondolo o quello dedicato a Gabriele D’Annunzio. Ammirate l’organo di Mozart, il padiglione Reale alla Stazione Centrale o la statua medievale di una ragazza che si rade il pube in pubblico. Interpretate i misteriosi simboli nascosti per la città e cercate i pugili scolpiti sul tetto del Duomo.

Il signor Netanyahu. Israele, due anni di politica tra elezioni, instabilità e pandemia di Enrico Catassi , Alfredo De Girolamo, Daniel Reichel (ETS)

 

 

“Daniel Reichel, Alfredo De Girolamo ed Enrico Catassi tratteggiano in rapida successione le più recenti vicende della fenomenale ascesa e riuscita di Netanyahu. Ma nel fare la cronaca della costruzione politica abilmente creata da Netanyahu, gli autori svelano anche le crepe che potrebbero prefigurare un suo crollo finale.” (Sergio Della Pergola)

Un autunno di tenerezza di Giampiero Momi

 

 

Clementine Phillis, a cinquantotto anni, sente più che mai l’età avanzare verso un inesorabile declino. Invecchiare per lei è una vera e propria fobia, alla quale tenta di opporsi con ogni mezzo, in una lotta titanica che però, lo sa, è destinata al fallimento. Eppure Clementine è una donna di successo: con volontà, fatica e intelligenza ha saputo raggiungere gli obiettivi più alti della sua carriera. Ma la gratificazione del lavoro non basta a colmare un vuoto dentro di lei, un vuoto che si è aperto con la morte del padre e si è approfondito trent’anni prima, con la perdita di suo figlio a soli quattro anni. Da allora, Clementine ha cercato inutilmente di riempire quella voragine con una lunga serie di relazioni, dal suo primo amore, al marito, agli amanti, fino all’approdo tra le braccia di Max, che finalmente sembra quello giusto. Grazie a lui, Clementine imparerà ad accettarsi e si aprirà a qualcosa che non avrebbe mai immaginato: una nuova maternità.

Bridgerton: The Duke and I by Julia Quinn

 

 

A #1 New York Times Bestseller 

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Daphne Bridgerton, in the first of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix.

In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince—while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable…but not too amiable.

Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen.

Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society—just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend’s sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar.

The plan works like a charm—at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London’s elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule...

This novel includes the 2^nd epilogue, a peek at the story after the story.

 

Marjory Saves the Everglades: The Story of Marjory Stoneman Douglas by Sandra Neil Wallace, illustrated by Rebecca Gibbon

 

 

“Vibrant…an ideal starting point for further learning.” —School Library Journal
“A lively portrayal of Douglas as a remarkable individual and a significant environmental activist.” —Booklist

From acclaimed children’s book biographer Sandra Neil Wallace comes the inspiring and little-known story of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the remarkable journalist who saved the Florida Everglades from development and ruin.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas didn’t intend to write about the Everglades but when she returned to Florida from World War I, she hardly recognized the place that was her home. The Florida that Marjory knew was rapidly disappearing—the rare orchids, magnificent birds, and massive trees disappearing with it.

Marjory couldn’t sit back and watch her home be destroyed—she had to do something. Thanks to Marjory, a part of the Everglades became a national park and the first park not created for sightseeing, but for the benefit of animals and plants. Without Marjory, the part of her home that she loved so much would have been destroyed instead of the protected wildlife reserve it has become today.

ATHANOR: The Secret Science of the Heart (I Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni di Stefano Donno)

The time of our civilisation, which is only one of the possible civilisations, can be transcribed synthetically through the categories of thought that specified axiologically its structure and continually remodelled it. Passages never clearly marked, if anything connoted, by that “barbarian residue” which, due to a certain instinctual pertinacity, were painstakingly exceeded. The border between reality and appearance is always very subtle, we find it so, even today in the persistence of certain scientifically anachronistic expressions; let us say, for example, that the sun rises and sets, instead of referring to the horizon. We need some time to get used to something that differs from the perception that we had of the world that is, we need time to change.This, for what it’s worth, is what we believe. In fact, however, it is only the persistences that weaken our conscious presence, which, in turn, manifests itself in a wealth of forms commensurate with the capacity we have to intuit them. Every achievement is as if a new mental being is produced, almost incapable of empathy with the past self. Ultimately, the shift over time determines a change of perspective, by regressing in the memory, we lose the sharpness of the state of mind that led to the choice or for which we risked that move. We simply change our mind and this has the effect of no longer permitting us to be that which we once were. It’s as if they slowly vanish, all the humours or moods that we have experienced converge here - there is no other time and if every shift creates a different vision of the world, everything can be changed in a single instant.

Huck Finn nel West di Robert Coover (NN editore)

 

 

Huckleberry Finn è diventato grande; ha abbandonato da tempo la vita civile vissuta da ragazzo e insieme a Tom Sawyer si è avventurato nel Far West, dove le regole non esistono. Insieme, cavalcano sulle rotte del Pony Express, mentre attorno a loro divampa la Guerra di secessione. Ma ben presto Tom capisce di non voler fuggire dalla civiltà: sposa la sua antica fidanzata Becky Thatcher e torna a Est per inseguire potere e successo. Huck rimane solo: doma cavalli selvaggi, guida carovane di fanatici religiosi, diventa amico dell’indiano Eeteh che gli racconta le storie dei Grandi Spiriti. Sotto i suoi occhi, l’America moderna nasce e si impone con la violenza e con l’inganno, pagando il progresso con il sangue dei nativi e dei neri, non più schiavi ma non ancora liberi. Robert Coover si confronta con una figura chiave della letteratura mondiale: Huck è disincantato ma ancora innocente, affronta la vita senza pregiudizi e senza filtri. Al contrario di Tom, che conosce il potere e ne ha imparato ogni astuzia, vede la verità oltre le parole e porta alla luce le profonde contraddizioni del sogno americano. Denso di poesia, esilarante e a tratti crudele, "Huck Finn nel West" è un romanzo d’avventura e insieme la storia stessa dell’America contemporanea; e parla a quella parte di noi che si nutre di miti, che li inventa continuamente, e attraverso la narrazione riscopre e plasma la propria vita.

Le mille lingue di Roma di Luca Serianni (Castelvecchi)

 

 

La lingua madre della Città Eterna è il latino, ma davvero gli antichi romani parlavano solo quello? E come siamo passati dal latino al romanesco? Si può dire che Roma non abbia un vero dialetto ma una parlata? Luca Serianni risponde a queste domande partendo dai primi insediamenti etruschi e latini per arrivare alle lingue contemporanee della capitale, passando per la fase cruciale dei Papi medicei del Cinquecento, la cui corte è principale artefice della “toscanizzazione” del volgare parlato a Roma. Ma sono tante le incursioni linguistiche che hanno modificato il romanesco arcaico. “Le mille lingue di Roma” è una mappa che segue le sorti alterne di una lingua forgiata da dinamiche costanti di integrazione e che ha per risultato l’essenziale e originario plurilinguismo della nostra capitale.

Così, per sempre di Marco La Greca (bookabook)

 

 

Il Pennello, il Grifo, Lele e Puddu sono quattro diciottenni come tanti, alla ricerca della sopravvivenza scolastica con il minimo sforzo, del divertimento senza pensieri e, nonostante i modesti risultati, del successo con le ragazze. Ma l'ultimo anno di liceo non è come tutti gli altri e tra occupazioni, feste, gite, sbronze, amicizie e litigi, amori e delusioni, i ragazzi iniziano a costruire i percorsi sentimentali ed esistenziali che, un giorno, li porteranno a capire chi sono e cosa vogliono. La musica, la moda e lo slang di una Roma di fine anni '80 fanno da sfondo al racconto di una comunità còlta in quella particolare fase della vita in cui tutto è ancora come prima, ma tutto sta per cambiare.

 

The Future In A Nutshell by Chris Williams

 

 

Should Christians study eschatology--the part of theology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind? What does the Bible say about End Times and how can laypeople learn about it without having to scale "Mount Prophecy" to get there? Biblical prophecy is the topic of countless books, many that are long and use theological language that often escapes the average, faithful member of a Bible-believing church. The Future in a Nutshell covers in simple language the basic tenets of Biblical eschatology, providing a useful overview about what the Bible teaches about the future.

Then There Was Rain by Atri Kundu

 

 

In this story of love and sacrifice, where Japan meets Kolkata and cherry blossom meets krishnachura, our protagonist will seek to find a home away from home and the answer to — Do we love someone because it is the right thing to do, or do we love them just because we do?

Kiyoshi Higa had grown to disbelieve the notions of love and happily-ever-afters. He never saw these working out in the end, not for him at least. But when his quest to seek a place to belong drove him south, from idyllic Okinawa to the City of Joy, he caught a glimpse of the home he never had in Agnimitra Sen a.k.a. Agni. 

Agni was a steady flame and Kiyoshi embodied a turbulent ocean. She was the woman he could never end up with, and he was the scarred man no one would fall in love with. Yet, his eyes chased the cloud-shaped bird...what if...despite knowing how hope is the killer of reality, he loved and he hoped.

From Kolkata to cherry blossoms, from Okinawa to phuchka, from Rabindrasangeet to haiku – this is the story of a soul stranded at the crossroad of love and guilt – one step down the wrong path, and he will lose all that he held dear.

Perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks and John Green, Then There Was Rain is at once a metaphorical ode to life, a journey of survival through hope, and a novella with the heartful expanse of an epic.

Thunder on the Plains: A Pecos Quinn Western Adventure by John Rose Putnam

 

 

In the 3rd Pecos Quinn Western, I tip my hat to Zane Grey, with deep respect. He showed us that even amid the savagery of the buffalo hunts on the Great Plains, romance could be found. And when Pecos and Andy set out to rescue Doctor Burns, who'd been treating the Comanche, they find a mother and daughter desperately in need of help, thus adding spice to a dangerous task.
