Marzio mian (108 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Since the invasion of Ukraine and ban on foreign reporters, Russia seems to have sunk into an even deeper shadow than in the darkest times of the Soviet Union. Only by presenting himself as an historian was Italian journalist Marzio G. Mian able to penetrate the Russian heartland, leading to his groundbreaking cover story for Harpers? Magazine, ?Behind the New Iron Curtain.? In Volga Blues, Russian history and literature inform every step of Mian?s revealing and perilous journey along Russia?s most culturally significant river, the fulcrum of its history, ?the mother.? Along with Alessandro Cosmelli, his photographer; Vlad, their translator and fixer; and Katya, Vlad?s girlfriend, Mian manages to gather firsthand accounts from ordinary Russians. They discuss not only the impact of the war, Western sanctions, and their country?s isolation, but how Russian culture has changed as a result. Stalin is back in favor, Lenin has been downgraded as a ?Europeanized intellectual.? Newly sophisticated local and seasonal cuisine is all the rage. People cite centuries-old grievances to explain their fear of Western invasion, as they claim a willingness to accept nuclear apocalypse to save Russian pride. Talking with contemporary Russian intellectuals, entrepreneurs, priests, widows, mercenaries, and pacifists, Mian discovers how little the West knows about Russia and Russians. Deeply distrustful of democracy, yearning for the ideological and spiritual purity of the Orthodox Church, betrayed by and fearful of the West, and reassured by the brutal, fragile, ancient dream of an imperial civilization, they make clear that the Cold War has not yet ended. In visceral prose, Mian takes us across the floodplains where the Russian Orthodox faith first took root, where the Soviet empire asserted itself, and where the neo-imperial project of Vladimir Putin?s post-Soviet autocracy is currently being consolidated. The result is a harrowing, haunting vision of today?s great clash of civilizations?between Russia and the West?including a United States that at times seems uncannily similar.…

Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Desde el espacio, el Ártico se ve cada vez menos blanco y más azul: un nuevo mar está emergiendo como una Atlántida acuática, porque el calentamiento en el Gran Norte es el doble que en el resto de la Tierra. Este deshielo está provocando al mismo tiempo una auténtica lucha entre distintos países para ganar la única zona del mundo aún sin explotar y con recursos que podrían superar el valor de toda la economía de Estados Unidos. La región ártica se está convirtiendo en «una nueva África, un Congo boreal», se advierte en el libro; es la nueva batalla global para obtener el control de rutas comerciales estratégicas, enormes fuentes de combustibles fósiles como la mayor mina de uranio a cielo abierto y amplias regiones marítimas con una gran producción de pescado de los caladeros de la región. Parte del destino de la humanidad se juega en el Ártico, y este libro de Marzio G. Mian desvela de forma brutal cómo la disolución del hielo ha despertado las ansias del botín de riquezas. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
