Maglioni Giovanni
Western. La realtà dietro la fiction
brossura I film western ci fanno vedere le carovane con i carri, ma non ci dicono nulla dei carri stessi, della durata del viaggio, del cibo e della vita quotidiana dei pionieri. Ci parlano del Far West, senza dirci cosa esso fosse in realtà; ci fanno vedere sceriffi e saloon, senza che possiamo saperne la storia e come essi fossero per davvero; ci fanno vedere locomotive sbuffanti e battelli a vapore, ma non ci dicono nulla di essi; ci mostrano soldati a cavallo e i loro forti, ma non ci parlano della loro vita quotidiana. Vediamo gli Indiani, generalmente mostratici come cattivi, senza quasi mai dircene i motivi. Questo elenco potrebbe continuare a lungo: cowboys, tipi di case di indiani e pionieri, corse all'oro, bordelli, assegnazione della terra ai pionieri... Se qualcuno ha curiosità al riguardo, potrà trovare delle risposte, non pedanti, in questo libro.

"This story is about the lifestyle and experiences of typical boys who lived in the Valley during two decades ending when the 1939 War intervened. Forestry is my profession. I am compelled to discuss this topic for two reasons. Trees underpin the economy of B.C. Of greater significance trees take in carbon dioxide a poison to humans and their animals and give off oxygen essential to sustaining - not just economic benefits - but healthy people. Unhappily the Valley of my youth has air quality that verges on poison. Hopefully this book will awaken the concern of Valley residents and their governmental representatives. 120 IV pages. Two maps. Tight and unmarked with moderate wear. A quality example. ; 8vo . Little Mountain Desktop Publishing paperback

Mancini Matteo
Spaghetti western. La proliferazione del genere (anno 1967). Vol. 2
br. Prosegue l'analisi dello spaghetti western con un volume interamente dedicato alla prolifica stagione del 1967. Sono oltre ottanta le pellicole proposte dall'autore, precedute da uno studio sulla critica e sullo sbarco negli Stati Uniti dei western girati tra il 1964 e il 1966. L'autore coglie inoltre l'occasione per anticipare gli effetti dello spaghetti-western sui western americani che porteranno all'affermazione di registi quali Sam Peckinpah e Monte Hellman, oltre al fenomeno del c.d. revisionismo western che ribalterà le relazioni cinematografiche tra cowboy/soldati e indiani.Il volume è corredato da un capitolo dedicato alle parodie western di Franco & Ciccio, e di un altro incentrato sulla figura della donna pistolero. A impreziosire l'opera contribuiscono infine la prefazione dell'esperto americano Tom Betts.

Mancini Matteo
Spaghetti western. Vol. 1: L'alba e il primo splendore del genere (anni 1963-1966)
br. "Spaghetti Western" è un progetto strutturato in tre volumi che si propone di presentare il genere così come si è evoluto nel corso degli anni, dai proto-western fordiani di Germi ambientati in Italia, ai western pre-leoniani debitori dell'epopea americana, passando per Sergio Leone e via via con i tristi vendicatori del far west, i tortilla western, i western comici oltre a quelli bizzarrissimi dell'ultimo periodo che mischiavano al genere elementi antitetici presi in prestito da altri filoni come il cinema delle arti marziali o l'horror, fino ai tentativi finali degli anni '80 di rivitalizzare un cinema ormai morto.

Mancini Matteo; Vabenicky Jan
Spaghetti Western. Vol. 3: Il mezzogiorno di fuoco del genere (anni '68-'71)
br. Matteo Mancini, giunto al terzo capitolo della saga, prende per mano il lettore conducendolo per gli impervi sentieri del western all'italiana. Dal deserto di "Corri Uomo Corri" ai ghiacciai de "Il Grande Silenzio", fino all'estremo oriente de "Lo Straniero di Silenzio", sibili di palottole e scalpitio di zoccoli di cavalli lanciati al galoppo ad accompagnare la lettura, il tutto preceduto da un'approfondita disamina a cura di Jan Vabenicky in cui i paesi a est della Cortina di Ferro si aprono, a loro modo, al genere, producendo il loro western. È l'incontro tra due realtà, occidente e oriente, politica e cinema, capitalismo e socialismo, il tutto sotto il filtro offerto da un intrattenimento, più o meno strumentale, condito in salsa western da rileggere quale incontro di culture diverse.

MANNING] [Frederic
The Middle Parts of Fortune. Somme & Ancre 1916. [As Private 19022.] THE GREATEST NOVEL OF THE GREAT WAR: 520 COPIES WERE PRINTED
2 vols., 8vo., First Edition, on hand-made paper; original brown buckram, gilt tops, uncut, marbled endpapers, a very good, bright, clean copy in archival film wrappers [wrappers not shown in image]. EDITION LIMITED TO 520 COPIES. Bright, crisp copy of Frederic Manning's masterpiece, published anonymously (as was the expurgated version 'Her Privates We' a year later). The frankness and detail of the story was praised by many of those who shared Manning's front line experiences (including Lawrence and Sassoon) and the work as a whole found favour with men of letters, among them Hemingway and Bennett. Today the work is recognised as the finest novel to emerge from the Great War, and one of the very finest in the literature of warfare. 'No praise could be too sheer for this book' (T.E. Lawrence).
