        Licht am Ende des Tunnels

        Roman. Deutsch von Arianna Giachi

        by Guido Morselli, Arianna Giachi

        »Licht am Ende des Tunnels« ist, so betont Morselli, keine Utopie, sondern ein Gegenstück zu vergangener Wirklichkeit, zur Historie, »eine Alternativ-Realität«. Morselli behauptet – und beweist auf ungemein spannende Weise –, daß durch den heimlichen Bau eines Alpentunnels 1916 ein Überraschungsangriff der Österreicher gegen die Italiener erfolgreich verlaufen wäre. Wenn die deutsche Armee sodann den Stellungskrieg in Frankreich aufgegeben und ähnlich operiert, wenn auch die deutsche Flotte mittels massiver U-Boot-Angriffe auf die britischen Öltanker die doppelt so große britische Seestreitmacht besiegt, ein britischer Pilot dagegen Wilhelm II. entführt hätte, wäre der Erste Weltkrieg im Westen noch im selben Jahre zugunsten Deutschlands entschieden, beendet und vielleicht nicht vom Zweiten Weltkrieg gefolgt worden. Deutschland hätte auf Gebietsgewinne und Reparationen verzichtet und als Demokratie durch seinen ersten Kanzler: Walter Rathenau Italien, Frankreich, und Belgien bewogen, eine sozialdemokratisch orientierte westeuropäische Gemeinschaft zu bilden. Eine Gemeinschaft zunächst der vier, der sich weitere Länder angeschlossen hätten, eine Gemeinschaft, die »den Austausch mit Lenins Sozialismus« gepflegt hätte. Österreich allerdings hätte gleichwohl aufgehört, eine Doppelmonarchie zu sein. Und Adolf Hitler wäre ein obskurer Maler geblieben.

        Ein Mann und eine Frau

        Aus dem Italienischen von Arianna Giachi

        by Natalia Ginzburg, Arianna Giachi

        Natalia Ginzburg erzählt Geschichten über eine Zeitkrankheit: über den Zerfall familiärer, ehelicher, freundschaftlicher, verwandtschaftlicher Beziehungen. Sie erzählt ohne Pathos und ohne Sentimentalität, unaufwendig und daher um so wirkungsvoller, um so radikaler in ihrem Protest gegen die italienische Gesellschaft mit ihrem Familien-, Mütter- und Kinderkult. »Ein Mann und eine Frau« ist die Geschichte eines Mannes, der im überholten, ermüdenden Rahmen einer Familie lebt und ständig mit dem konfrontiert ist, was hätte sein können: seine einzige echte Beziehung war die zu der Frau, mit der er vor seiner Ehe gelebt hat. Die zweite Erzählung »Borghesia«. »Das Lied vom Bürgertum« erzählt von einer Frau, die mit ihren Katzen lebt, die kommen und gehen, geboren werden und sterben. Und wie in einer Parabel läßt sich das Leben ihrer Katzen auf das ihrer Familie überragen: man kommt, man geht, lebt unverbindlich, beziehungslos wie die Katzen.

        The European or Mediterranean cultivated olive (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. europaea) is one of the most ancient cultivated fruit tree crops. Today, hundreds of olive varieties are grown to produce high-quality fruit for oil and for table olives consumption. The olive industry has undergone profound innovations in the past 30 years, due to scientific and technical advances, particularly in genomics, breeding, orchard management, mechanization and agro-ecology, although not all these developments are yet available to smaller producers. Olive cultivation has also spread to many countries outside the Mediterranean Basin, where it ihas been traditionally present for over 6,000 years. These new olive-growing countries are experiencing further expansion of the industry, due to increased awareness of the nutritional and health properties of extra virgin olive oil. This book is a much-needed update on olive biology and cultivation, with contributions from leading international experts, and includes: Biology Genetics and breeding Olive propagation and nursery Planting new olive orchards Horticultural management of olive orchards Plant protection Olive by-products (wood, leaves) Multifunctionality of olive groves and ecosystem services The Olive: Botany and Production is invaluable for researchers and students in horticulture and agriculture, as well as producers involved in olive orchard management.

Ethan is smart, funny, kind, gentle, great with Arianna’s toddler son, a fantastic lover, and finally ready to settle down to a teaching job in Manhattan after years of nomadic work as a freelance photographer. Plus he’s the adoring brother of Arianna’s best friend, Rachel.He’s a truly special man, and the time seems right for him to move in to Arianna’s apartment.

Arianna is on the verge of graduating from a “finisher” at her fashion job—a highly paid seamstress—and is on her way to having her own designs produced. Suddenly her career is the central focus of her life—and into that focus walks Noah, a worldly, funny, sophisticated, and very successful writer for an award-winning television show.

        Maschilità in questione

        Sguardi sulla figura di san Giuseppe

        by Antonio Autiero, Marinella Perroni

        Joseph occupies a marginal place inside the theological discourse, unlike Mary. Yet, he also reflects important issues of our time, linked to the debate on identity, relationships and functions of being in the world as men and women, and in terms of living in a church made up of men and women. Freed from hagiographic stereotypes and strictly apologetic purposes, Joseph becomes the emblem of a masculinity that is now more than ever in question: what does it mean for a male to feel himself as a subject, as a person? What does it mean to share a journey of substantial relationships and to generate life together? What does it mean to take care of the world, in the plurality of its possible expressions (politics, profession, civil commitment)? This book starts an original path, expression of the fruitful intertwining that theology intends to establish with other cultural approaches. It discloses a set of “looks” – historical, biblical, sociological, theological, pastoral ... – aimed at Saint Joseph, a figure of a masculinity that questions us. Moreover, it proposes an ideal dialogue between scholars who have accepted Pope’s invitation: Ite ad Ioseph, «Go to Joseph». Their answers can be surprising.   CONTRIBUTORS: Daniele Bouchard, Arianna De Simone, Elizabeth E. Green, Andrea Grillo, Adreas Heek, Michela Murgia, Paolo Naso, Cristina Oddone, Giusi Quarenghi, Simona Segoloni Ruta, Silvia Zanconato.

        IL TELEFONO (THE TELEPHONE)

        by Kornej Čukovskij, Mauro Di Leo (Adaptation), Arianna Papini (Illustrations)

        Drin drin. The phone rings and rings and rings! Drin drin. It never stops ringing. Incoming requests and more requests from his animal friends: the dove wants gloves, the crocodile asks for delicious shoes to eat! And the monkey, the bear, the stork, the pig... everyone is looking for the most absurd things. No hope for peace except, exhausted, going to the rescue of a hippo stuck in the mud. A bright and rhythmic nonsense poem full of colors, written by one of the authors most loved by Russian children. The high visual energy perfectly interacts with the rebellious movement of the text
