Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The narrator is an urbane, cynical and egocentric Italian journalist with little interest in the truth, though not as shabby as his companion, a professor of politics. The journalist meets people across the spectrum of ideas, and the book concerns not just political events, but how people interrelate within a social context, Scotland's place in Europe and how Europeans interpret each other. The Italian encounters a range of Europeans: a Ukrainian nationalist, a Russian religious guru, an eccentric Estonian, an Algerian refugee, a Lithuanian, a dying man and many Scots from different walks of life. The narrator falls in love with a Scottish campaigner. Beneath the urbane veneer, he's a complex mix of the old-fashioned and the fashionable, and the relationship soon encounters problems. The Italian, like Voltaire's Candide, starts with a mindset incapable of bringing him either understanding or lasting contentment, and ends the book with some understanding and awareness, insufficient for the elusive happiness we all seek but sufficient for a perfectly acceptable human existence. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. ix, (1), 352 pages; Clean and secure in binding in very nice dustjacket, like new. Dante brings the legendary authorand the medieval Italy of his era to vivid life, describing the political intrigue, battles, culture, and society that shaped his writing.Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy has defined how people imagine and depict heaven and hell for over seven centuries.However, outside of Italy, his other works are not well known, and less still is generally known about the context he wrote them in. In Dante, Barbero brings the legendary author's Italy to life, describing the political intrigue, battles, city and society that shaped his life and work. The son of a shylock who dreams of belonging to the world of writers and nobles, we follow Dante into the dark corridors of politics where ideals are shattered by rampant corruption, and then into exile as he travels Italy and discovers the extraordinary color and variety of the countryside, the metropolises, and the knightly courts.This is a book by a serious scholar with real popular appeal, as evidenced by its bestseller ranking in Italy. It is a remarkable piece of forensic investigation into medieval Italian life. Reviews: "Impeccably written and researchedBarbero is equally precise and ordered in tracing the chronology of Dante's life and back story, as he follows it from the times of the poet's ancestors all the way to his death as a celebrated literary exile in Ravenna. In all cases, his reasoning is cogent, his research impressive and his answers set in earnest dialogue with the historical record. We can be grateful to Barbero for this richly informative biography of a man who can seem so reticent and aloof that at times it feels as if he's hiding behind the 14,233 verses of "The Divine Comedy" rather than revealing himself." - The New York Times"A masterful biography of the great Italian poet, deftly translated by Allan Cameron. A definitive portrait of a literary titan." - Booklist (starred)"Seven hundred years after Dante Alighieri's death, a new biography parses the elusive life of one of civilization's greatest poets. Many of the details of Dante's life, even the date of his birth, are lost to time, but Barbero is an indefatigable detective when it comes to piecing together a narrative from the historical record. His mission is not merely to sketch the possibilities of Dante's private life but, perhaps even more so, to place Dante within the context of his times." - BookPage "Barbero's effort achieves a great deal, enough to be more than a worthy addition to the existing body of work about Dante.Barbero presents a vivid composite picture of what it was like to be a member of the minor nobility in and around late medieval Florence.Dante is a fascinating read." - BookReporter.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This is a collection of eleven short stories whose common theme is the heroism of our flawed lives. It explores the arduousness of people's lives and covers such diverse subjects as human solidarity, generational change, single parenthood, domestic violence, the tragic complexity of revolution, police brutality, artistic hubris, and the limitations of rationalism. In "The Hat", a polish Jew on the run in Eastern Europe goes down to a town in search for food and, noticing the large number of German soldiers on patrol, hides himself in a funeral procession. But he stands out as the only mourner without a hat. As he walks along, another man places his hat on the fugitive's head: an example of man's humanity to man. In "Living with the Polish Count", the young Soviet Republic struggles to keep foreign and reactionary forces at bay and in so doing loses the morality that initially inspired them. In "The Selfish Geneticist", lunch in a smart restaurant exposes the rift between two academics, both dogmatic and contemptuous of others, but one more strictly rational and the other more influenced by his human emotions.
