Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !!

Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

MAISIE SHEPHERD KINGSLEY, MRS HARRY NORMAN SHEPHERD
1924 - 1953 ORIGINAL GROUP OF 15 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A FASHION FORWARD SUFFRAGE ERA BRIGHTON GIRL WHO EVOLVES INTO A DUTIFUL 1950s WIFE
BRIGHTON HOVE ENGLAND BRITAIN. Good. 1935. On offer is a super group of 15 original manuscript diaries begun in 1924 by a young Brighton woman who writes as a student on the heels of British suffrage in the 1920s to her as dutiful housewife in the 1950s these diaries offer a superb opportunity to witness the evolution through the self made narrative of a young English woman. From the slingshot of World War I rationing to the exuberant fashionable empowering 'Roaring 20s' to her later life as a respectable conservative '50s housewife. Maisie lives for fashion as even a casual reader notes as she records her school and then work life. The earlier years shows that interest and her travels in fashionable circles evident in the numerous drawings and pencil sketches as she explores couture hairstyles and headdress. We count at least 70 pages with her illustration likely garnered whilst attending fashionable soirées. We learn she is apparently of a well off family Maisie she mentions the 1926 general strike in the United Kingdom which lasted nine days; at the time she was working at some type of a studio but during the strike she was selling flags. Aside from fashion she makes no effort to hide the fact Cupid's arrow has struck her heart with regard to a charming young man Harry Norman Shepherd who she would later marry. Fascinatingly we note Harry was involved in the fashion industry with a 1959 news reference easily found online naming him the master of ceremonies for a fashion show put on by Marks & Spencers designed to attract "an attentive and fashion-conscious audience." Other entries from the mundanities and details of travels Italy France Switzerland throughout England and Dublin we believe married life occasional expenditures books read etc. We also learn as an extension of her fashion proclivities she sews a great deal perhaps having gained the 'bug' and experience in her fashion oriented younger years. The books proper cover the years 1924 - 1927; 1930; 1944 - 1953. There are a small number of ephemeral pieces in the diaries. Various pocket book sizes.

Maistrello Federico
Marco Graziati studente e partigiano (1922-1945) e i diari del lutto della mamma
br. Federico Maistrello ricostruisce il tragico pomeriggio del 24 aprile 1945 quando le Brigate nere guidate da "Lince" giustiziarono nella campagna trevigiana, a Morgano, Marco Graziati, Anelido Bosello e Luigi Pezzato. Nella prima parte del libro viene ricostruita la vita di Marco, partendo dalla sua esperienza di studente, passando per il servizio militare, per l'armistizio dell'8 settembre e giungendo alla scelta di unirsi ai patrioti per contrastare i nazifascisti. Oltre ai documenti d'archivio, l'autore utilizza nuove fonti conservate dalla famiglia e le memorie di alcuni testimoni. Nella seconda parte la nipote Francesca Graziati ripercorre le sofferenze patite dalla nonna Giuseppina, mamma di Marco, fissate nei commoventi diari che scrisse dopo l'uccisione del figlio.
