HALFFTER Rodolfo 1900 1987
Autograph musical quotation signed and dated June 18 1940
6 measures from the "Sonatas de El Escorial" for piano. 189 x 213 mm. On partial letterhead of the Junta de Cultura Española. <br/><br/>Creased at folds; minor paper loss to foot; two file holes to left margin. "Notable amongst his early works are the modernist Naturaleza muerta Dos sonatas de El Escorial inspired by Soler and Marinero en tierra settings of poems by Alberti which contain some of his most accessible music. Halffter's music follows in the tradition of Falla: the basis is tonal sometimes enriched with bold and witty polytonal inflections; the rhythm is asymmetrical and varied; the style is above all clear and spare. In 1953 in the Tres hojas de album for piano he began to use 12-note serialism the first Mexican composer to do so. This however did not alter the essentially melodic nature of his work." Antonio Iglesias and Juan Orrego-Salas in Grove Music Online. <br/><br/>An attractive example from one of this Mexican composer's most notable works. unknown books

Hamann Brigitte
Sissi
ill., br. Sposa a diciassette anni di Francesco Giuseppe, Elisabetta di Wittelsbach ("Sissi") abbandonò le foreste della Baviera per il mondo dorato e soffocante della corte di Vienna. Coraggiosa e fragile, malinconica ed eccentrica, Sissi non volle accettare nessuno dei ruoli che la tradizione e l'ambiente le assegnavano. L'intera sua vita, interrotta nel 1898 dal pugnale di un anarchico, fu di sottrarsi al destino di "gabbiano prigioniero del castello", una fuga continua dai rituali e dal formalismo della vita di palazzo. Desiderando essere qualcosa di più della consorte di un imperatore, di affermare in ogni modo la propria individualità, Sissi fece di sé una donna speciale. Amazzone provetta, eccelse nei tornei di caccia; poetessa dilettante lasciò oltre cinquecento pagine di versi; giovane splendida, riuscì a trasformare la propria bellezza in un mito ineguagliabile. Nella biografia della Hamann, che ha dedicato a Sissi anche un volume fotografico, rivive una donna di sensibilità e intelligenza straordinarie, una sovrana anomala e sognatrice, condannata a un destino di infelicità.

Hamburger Käte; Caramelli E. (cur.)
La logica della letteratura
br. Questo volume costituisce uno studio metodico delle leggi nascoste che regolano il linguaggio letterario. Mutuando dalla filosofia, dalla linguistica e dalla teoria della comunicazione, Käte Hamburger vuole stabilire la differenza tra la letteratura e la realtà a partire dal peculiare, grammaticalmente paradossale comportamento della parola nella finzione. Come ha rilevato Paul Ricoeur, quella elaborata in questo studio è pertanto una "teoria della finzione pura". Confrontandosi, oltre che con numerosi esempi tratti per lo più dalla narrativa e dalla poesia del XIX e XX secolo, con le principali riflessioni sul tema, il volume intende proporre una mappatura sistematica delle legalità speciali che operano nelle diverse regioni del linguaggio letterario (e non letterario). In questo modo, oltre a radicare la tradizionale differenziazione tra epica, lirica e dramma, nella segreta ma inderogabile logica di cui vive la parola, lo studio di Hamburger vuole anche spiegare come mai la narrativa sia un luogo conoscitivo privilegiato: uno dei motivi che contribuiscono a produrre il suo peculiare incantesimo.

Hamilton John; Barbieri L. (cur.)
Settimo cavalleggeri. Storia della cavalleria americana da Custer al Mekong
ill., br. Il reggimento più celebre della storia. Il fiore all'occhiello dell'America in divisa, dall'era eroica del generale Custer e delle guerre di secessione ai tempi del Vietnam, nei quali il Settimo Cavalleggeri non cessò mai di scrivere pagine mirabili e leggendarie. Un'avventurosa cronistoria, tracciata per la prima volta, delle operazioni militari di quei reggimenti di cavalleria americana resi famosi in tutto il mondo grazie alla cinematografia, dai film western alle numerose pellicole sulla guerra del Vietnam. Hamilton delinea i profili di tutti i protagonisti più significativi dell'epopea della cavalleria americana. E insieme analizza le strategie militari, oltre a fornire gustosi aneddoti, dettagli e inedite curiosità. Scopriamo e ricordiamo così che il Settimo Cavalleggeri negli ultimi due secoli ha mangiato polvere a Little Bighorn, strisciato nella giungla cubana, solcato le spiagge della Normandia, scalato le montagne della Corea, infangandosi nelle risaie del Vietnam. E sostituendo via via il cavallo con i più innovativi mezzi della tecnologia bellica, fino a divenire un reggimento di truppe aviotrasportate sul delta del Mekong. Un racconto epico, e al contempo una ricerca storica che sfronda leggende, ridimensiona i miti della guerra, ricostruisce i fatti con precisione e i personaggi con umana comprensione, condannando gli eccessi e riconsegnando il giusto valore eroico ed etico ai soldati.

Hammond William A. Alexander 1828 1900
A Treatise on Hygiene with Special Reference to Military Service
Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott 1863. xvi 13-604 pages. While known as the first American physician to devote himself entirely to neurology and the author of the first treatise on the subject it was his role in the Civil War and this major work for which he is best remembered. When Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton fired Clement Finley the Surgeon General Abraham Lincoln against Stanton's advice named the 34-year-old Hammond to succeed him with the rank of brigadier general. On April 1962 he became Surgeon General of the Army. He launched many reforms ranging from qualifications of medical personnel importance of ventilation record-keeping and the creation of the Satterlee Hospital. He promoted Jonathan Letterman which brought an efficient ambulance system to the service. He banned mercury from army supplies. Since hygienic standards were still very poor in the United States Army and soldiers often died because of inadequate medical care poor sanitary conditions and lack of attention to proper shelter and nutrition since there was no up-to-date work on the subject he wrote this book to be distributed to all officers and medical personnel. A thorough and detailed book it contains many of the ideas and principles that Hammond instituted in his reform of the army medical service. In writing on morbid habits he warns of the mischief caused by masturbation which causes he notes that "the masturbator shuns society.and evinces an apathy for all kinds of amusements." He discusses all aspects of diet providing charts and comparisons of the requirements in the British and Russian armies. How to keep the alimentary canal in good order is a major concern for the soldier.

Han Byung-Chul
Che cos'è il potere?
br. A livello teorico quello di potere è uno dei concetti piú controversi e problematici della storia del pensiero filosofico, politico, sociologico e giuridico. Il punto di partenza della riflessione di Byung-Chul Han è che esso è stato quasi sempre ridotto a una relazione causale diretta: chi detiene il potere si impone su chi lo subisce, determinandone il comportamento a prescindere dalla sua volontà. Tuttavia, secondo Han, se si sottolinea esclusivamente questa logica, si riesce a percepirne il lato violento e costrittivo, ma non si colgono le dinamiche piú nascoste e complesse mediante cui il potere agisce. Ampliando l'analisi, si può individuare proprio nella libertà il suo presupposto e comprendere che esso può essere esercitato non solo contro l'Altro, ma anche condizionandolo dall'interno, raggiungendo un grado di mediazione molto piú elevato e assumendo forme estremamente articolate - meccanismi che, negli sviluppi successivi del suo pensiero, l'autore arriva a considerare come la chiave di volta della vita sociale e politica. Attraverso una comparazione critica dei principali teorici occidentali del potere - da Luhmann a Foucault, da Nietzsche a Heidegger, Hegel, Agamben e molti altri - in questo saggio Han ne dà una lettura che punta a sgombrare il campo dalle contraddizioni e dalle miopie teoriche, privando "il potere almeno del potere fondato sul fatto che non si sa esattamente cosa esso sia".

Il profumo del tempo. L'arte di indugiare sulle cose
br. Viviamo in perenne mancanza di tempo. Quasi in apnea, ci affrettiamo per poter fare esperienza di tutto quello che il nostro mondo iperproduttivo ci mette davanti. Accelerare per avere più tempo è diventato l'imperativo della nostra vita. Ma questa 'epoca dell'affanno', in definitiva, ci rende ansiosi, stressati, disorientati. L'accelerazione della tecnologia e delle trasformazioni sociali non solo ha annientato lo spazio e la geografia stessa (ogni luogo è a portata di un clic o di qualche ora di aereo), ma ha atomizzato il tempo, lo ha frammentato in tanti 'attimi presenti' che si sostituiscono l'uno all'altro, che non conoscono più pause e intervalli, soglie e passaggi, e soprattutto non costruiscono più un'unica storia: la nostra. Perché questa disgregazione riguarda anche la nostra identità, che si impoverisce e si riduce, soffocata dalle proprie attività senza durata. Sono queste le riflessioni che Byung-Chul Han, il filosofo coreano che ama riflettere sull'uomo svelandone la situazione critica di fronte agli stimoli della società contemporanea, mette a fuoco in questo libro dal titolo seducente. Percorrendo in modo originale il pensiero filosofico sul tempo, da Aristotele e Tommaso a Heidegger e Arendt, passando per Hegel, Marx e Nietzsche (ma soffermandosi anche a lungo sull'opera di Proust), egli ci mette di fronte a quella che riassume come un'assolutizzazione della vita activa: la necessità di produrre (e consumare) come forma di realizzazione umana, che finisce per sottrarre all'uomo respiro e spirito. Bisogna allora riguadagnare un posto alla vita contemplativa, nella sua forma più quotidiana e vicina. Vale a dire reimparare a fermarsi, a 'indugiare': bellissimo verbo che parla di pause, di ozio meditativo, di sguardo lungo e cordiale sulle cose. In una parola, lo sguardo contemplativo restituisce al tempo il suo 'profumo', che è lento e permanente, che sa di ricordo e di memoria. Acquista allora un senso nuovo e smette di essere solo una stravagante curiosità l'orologio 'a profumo' dell'antica Cina, cui l'autore dedica pagine piene di poesia, che misura il tempo col bruciare di un profumato sigillo d'incenso: alla fine, resta un'eccedenza speciale, un aroma che riempie lo spazio, che indugia nell'aria in un momento sospeso e denso che apre alla felicità.

L'espulsione dell'altro
br. In questo nuovo saggio, che è una sorta di summa delle sue opere precedenti, Byung-Chul Han mostra la scomparsa della figura dell'Altro nel mondo dominato dalla comunicazione digitale e dai rapporti neoliberistici di produzione. La singolarità dell'Altro disturba, infatti, l'incessante circolazione di informazioni e capitali, e la sua rimozione lascia il campo al proliferare dell'Uguale, che favorisce la massima velocità e funzionalità dei processi sociali. Ma dove è promossa solo la positività dell'Uguale, la vita s'impoverisce e sorgono nuove patologie: l'inflazione dell'io imprenditore di se stesso genera angoscia e autodistruttività, l'esperienza e la conoscenza sono sostituite dalla mera informazione, le relazioni personali cedono il posto alle connessioni telematiche. Solo l'incontro con l'Altro, destabilizzante e vivificante, può conferire a ciascuno la propria identità e generare reale esperienza. E per questo motivo che il saggio si chiude sottolineando l'urgenza della ricostruzione di una comunità umana fondata sull'ascolto e sull'apertura all'Altro.
