Follath Eric
Al di là dei confini: Viaggio nel mondo dell'islam sulle tracce del grande avventuriero Ibn Battuta
8vo, tela ed. sovrac. pp.238. Ibn Battuta è conosciuto come il «Marco Polo arabo»: nel XIV secolo, il grande avventuriero viaggiò in gran parte del mondo allora conosciuto, e in trent'anni la sua odissea lo portò dal Marocco alla Mecca, da Costantinopoli e la Crimea fino a Samarcanda, l'India, l'Indonesia e la Cina. Nel racconto delle sue avventurose perigrinazioni, il «re di tutti i viaggiatori» descrisse l'islam come una religione del progresso e della tolleranza. Settecento anni dopo, Erich Follath ne ripercorre il cammino, attraversando un mondo islamico che nel frattempo è profondamente mutato. Soffermandosi in tredici luoghi fondamentali per Battuta, Follath riesce a immortalare con un'evidenza impressionante la situazione dell'attuale mondo islamico, sottolineandone i drammatici problemi, le lotte e le sfide future. "Al di là dei confini" è una ricerca sulle tracce di una delle personalità più affascinanti del Medioevo, un viaggio lungo un anno in città antiche e moderne, un'inchiesta che si muove tra passato e presente, e che approfondisce alcune delle problematiche politiche di scottante attualità, offrendo al lettore un reportage sul dirompente presente dell'islam.

Letherby, Gayle; Reynolds, Gillian
Train Tracks: Work, Play and Politics on the Railways
8vp, pp-288 hardcover. Letherby and Reynolds have conducted extensive research with all those concerned with trains, from leisure travelers and enthusiasts to railway workers and commuters. Overturning conventional wisdom, they show that the train has a social life in and of itself and is not simply a way to get from A to B. The book also looks at the depiction of train travel through cultural media, such as music, films, books and art. The authors consider the personal politics of train travel and political discussion surrounding the railways, as well as the relationship trains have to leisure and work. The media often paints a gloomy picture of the railways and there is a general view that the romance of train travel ended with the steam locomotive. Letherby and Reynolds show that this is far from the case. railroads, railroad travel social aspects.
