1999"This book traces the link between Serbian national mythology and genocide in the former Yugoslavia. Unlike other books dealing with this subject, [it] analyzes the conflict's long-term sources, going as far back as the pre-Christian Slavic pagan religion. It also points out ways in which Serbian leaders convinced at least some members of the international community of the righteousness of their aims." 256p. Book

2000"In May 1999, in the vast tent city that sprang up overnight under the Macedonian skies, one desperate request was not for food or water but for cellular phones - to find children, husbands, parents missing in the chaos of Kosovo. From phones to laser-guided missiles, this was war at the end of the twentieth century, where technology rules... ''Virtual War' describes the latest phase in modern combat: war fought by remote control. Kosovo was such a virtual war, a war in which US and NATO forces did the fighting but only Kosovars and Serbs did the dying. Ignatieff raises the troubling possibility that virtual wars, so much easier to fight, could become the way superpowers impose their will in the century ahead'" 249p. bibliography, index Book

2000"At the end of the twentieth century people spoke as if the Balkans had plagued Europe forever." "Mark Mazower dispels current Western cliches and replaces stereotypes with an account of how mountains, empires and religions have shaped their inhabitants' lives. As a bridge between Europe and Asia the Balkans has been exposed to a constant incursion of nomadic peoples across the centuries. Mountain ranges made farming hard and political control almost impossible and allowed small communities to live side by side through to the end of the twentieth century. Empires based on religion not ethnicity shaped customs and beliefs in ways that did not entirely vanish with the coming of modernity." A short but well researched introduction to the complex and always compelling history of the Balkans. 160p. bibliography. index Book

194319,5x13 cm; 215, (5) pp. Brossura editoriale con sopraccoperta illustrata (qualche macchiolina, strappetto e piccoli difetti alla sopraccoperta). Leggera brunitura al margine esterno delle pagine. Prima, rara, edizione dello scritto più celebre della grande scrittrice, giornalista e traduttrice e viaggiatrice, Irene Brin (pseudonimo di Maria Vittoria Rossi) nata a Bordighera (Imperia) nel 1914. Collaboratrice di numerosi giornali già in giovanissima età fu apprezzata da gran parte del mondo intellettuale italiano dove strinse un'ottima amicizia con Longanesi e Montanelli. Nel 1937 Maria Vittoria Rossi divenne Irene Brin: lo pseudonimo le fu attribuito da Leo Longanesi, che invitò la giornalista a collaborare al rotocalco settimanale Omnibus. Olga a Belgrado è riconosciuta da tutti come l'opera migliore della Brin. Questa prima edizione del dicembre del 1943 è rarissima in quanto, come raccontò in seguito la stessa Brin “fu sequestrato quasi dovunque perché il titolo e il contenuto sembravano troppo favorevoli ai partigiani jugoslavi”. Venne poi ripubblicato da Elliot nel febbraio dell'anno seguente. L'opera è una specie di diario di guerra che descrive la Jugoslavia dei primi anni quaranta con una sensibilità e una precisione considerata ancora oggi assai rara. L'autrice nel maggio del 1941 aveva raggiunto il marito Gasparo del Corso in Jugoslavia dove prestava servizio come ufficiale. L'autrice doveva fermarsi qui pochi mesi ma invece vi si trattenne per tre anni. É visitando Belgrado e Lubiana, attraversando villaggi e località turistiche abbandonate e distrutte che l'autrice riesce a dare una descrizione vivida e profonda dell'atrocità della guerra e della forza dell'idea di libertà. Opera assai rara.
