paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Condizione: NUOVO. Roma, Donzelli Editore cm.12x18,5, pp.IX,260, brossura, cop.fig.a col. Collana Interventi. (Pur se interrotto dalla vittoria del centro-destra alle elezioni comunali dello scorso aprile, il ciclo riformatore delle giunte Rutelli e Veltroni ha saputo restituire a Roma, negli ultimi quindici anni, un prestigio da vera capitale e ha lasciato in alcuni campi, come quello della cultura, un bilancio largamente positivo, un capitale da difendere e sviluppare. Questo perché, senza più cadere nella trappola della contrapposizione tra effimero e permanente, le giunte di centro-sinistra sono riuscite a promuovere una grande stagione culturale, ma soprattutto a realizzare quegli spazi e quelle strutture di cui la città aveva bisogno. Il volume analizza a fondo per la prima volta il segreto di questo successo, le strategie che lo hanno ispirato, le scelte che lo hanno orientato, descrivendo punto per punto le novità che l'hanno reso possibile: l'Auditorium di Renzo Piano, la rivoluzione nella gestione dei musei, la creazione di un nuovo sistema espositivo, la rinascita delle biblioteche, il sistema delle case (delle letterature, del cinema, del jazz, dei teatri, della memoria). E ancora: la film commission, la riapertura delle sale cinematografiche, i teatri di cintura. Tutto questo grazie anche a un diverso rapporto tra pubblico e privato, che è andato ben oltre le norme pur innovative introdotte in precedenza dalla legge Ronchey. Queste iniziative hanno suscitato il consenso dei romani e dei turisti, dimostrando che la cultura può rivelarsi un volano di crescita economica). Con un saggio di Franco Ferrarotti. Presentaz.di Gianni Borgna.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Milan, 1913. Maestro Mandelli di Castagnino is resident conductor at La Scala, having taken over from the legendary Toscanini.Barely in his mid-thirties, he is revered by the Milanese public and fêted by the city's high society. But once the baton is down, and after another soirée in his honour organised by his sycophantic agent, he returns to an empty home, surrounded only by his servants.Disenchanted and longing to leave his secret life behind, he accepts a post as resident chief conductor at the Odessa Opera House, causing consternation among his family and admirers.After an eventful journey by land and sea, he settles in the elegant coastal city, improving the performance of the orchestra and winning the approval and friendship of the locals.He also finds love, but the continent is about to sleepwalk into the carnage of a futile war and Imperial Russia is on the cusp of being rocked by the October Revolution.Undeterred by the unfolding catastrophe and wanting to protect his beloved from the savagery of the civil war, he is confronted with a desperate choice.…
