Book Description
Dopo la liberazione dallo Spielberg Silvio Pellico torna a vivere a Torino prima in casa dei genitori poi a palazzo Barolo (una scelta dovuta alla morte tra il 1837 e il 1838 di entrambi i genitori dello scrittore, una situazione che cambierà di poco, quando Pellico, ormai avanti negli anni, ritroverà la contessa Cristina Archinto Trivulzio, che aveva amato, prima dell'arresto), come segretario della marchesa Giulia Falletti di Barolo che per quasi vent'anni aiuterà nelle su opere di beneficenza e in particolare nella conduzione di una sala d'asilo, destinata ad accogliere i bambini poveri dai 2 ai 6 anni che i genitori, impegnati per molte ore nel proprio lavoro, spesso finivano per trascurare. Queste lettere testimoniano, dunque, il rapporto di confronto e in alcuni casi (come per es. con Cesare Balbo e Giovanni Vico) di amicizia tra Pellico e gli altri scrittori attivi nel Piemonte dell'epoca.

LE ITALIANE CRISTINA ARCHINTO TRIVULZIO GIULIA MOLINO COLOMBINI FELICIA GIOVIO MASSIMINA FANTASTICI ROSELLINI QUIRINA MOCENNI MAGIOTTI NINA OLIVETTI ANGELICA PALLI BARTOLOMEI ROSA TADDEI LE STRANIERE MARY LOUISE BOYLE LOUISE COLET SOPHIE PANNIER AGATHE SOPHIE SASSERNO' MARY CATHARINE SEDGWICK LADY SYDNEY MORGAN Nel libro di Miriam Stival intitolato "Un lettore del Risorgimento. Silvio Pellico" un ampio e interessante capitolo è dedicato alla lettura al femminile. Le scrittrici e lettrici citate dalla Stival sono soltanto, però, una minima parte delle amiche, corrispondenti, e ammiratrici del Pellico che aveva tra i suoi contatti nomi insospettabili come la femminista francese Louise Colet o la poetessa di origine greca Angelica Palli, fuggita da casa per sposare l'uomo che amava. Lavorando sull'epistolario del Pellico ho scoperto proprio questo mondo vario e a volte imprevedibile di scambi di lettere, di versi, di pareri.

Book Description
“A masterpiece” about faith, race, and morality at a medieval turning point, from the National Jewish Book Award winner and “Israeli Faulkner” (The New York Times). It’s edging toward the end of the year 999 when Ben Attar, a Moroccan Jewish merchant from Tangiers, takes two wives—an act of bigamy that results in the moral objections of his nephew and business partner, Raphael Abulafia, and the dissolution of their once profitable enterprise of importing treasures from the Atlas Mountains. Abulafia’s repudiation triggers a potentially perilous move by Attar to set things right—by setting sail for medieval Paris to challenge his nephew, and his nephew’s own pious wife, face to face. Accompanied by a Spanish rabbi, a Muslim trader, a timid young slave, a crew of Arab sailors, and his two veiled wives, Attar will soon find himself in an even more dangerous battle—with the Christian zealots who fear that Jews and others they see as immoral infidels will impede the coming of Jesus at the dawn of a new millennium. From the author of A Woman in Jerusalem, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, this is an insightful portrait of a unique moment in history as well as the timeless issues that still trouble us today. “The end of the first millennium comes to represent only one of many breaches—between north and south, Christians and Jews, Jews and Muslims, Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews, men and women—across which A. B. Yehoshua's extraordinary novel delivers us.” —The New York Times

Book Description
Napoleon Bonaparte dominated the public life of Europe like no other individual before him. Not surprisingly, the story of the man himself has usually swamped he stories of his subjects. This book looks at the history of the Napoleonic Empire from an entirely new perspective – that of the ruled rather than the ruler. Michael Broers concentrates on the experience of the people of Europe – particularly the vast majority of Napoleon's subjects who were neither French nor willing participants in the great events of the period – during the dynamic but short-lived career of Napoleon, when half of the European content fell under his rule.

Book Description
Histories of the Napoleonic period are almost exclusively biographies of the man, or political-military accounts of his wars. But such wars were only the first stage in a far more ambitious programme; the establishment of a rational state which would force the pace of modernising society. Through an examination of the experiences of French domination, Napoleon's Integration of Europe explores the implications of such a project for France and its relationship with the rest of Europe. It examines the problems of ruling a progressively expanding empire, as seen through the eyes of a trained corps of bureaucrates who were convinced that their scientific methods would enable them to understand and govern the mechanisms of society. However it also looks at the populations subjected to French rule, at the nature of their resistance and adaptation to the principles of the Napoleonic project. This book is the first overall comparative study of Europe in the Napoleonic years. It is a study not only of an early exercise in imperialism, but of the conflict that is aroused between the rationalising tendencies of the modern state and the spatial and cultural heterogeneity of individual societies. As well as a history of France, it is also a history of Italy, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Poland and Spain at a crucial moment in the history of each nation state.
