In 8ø (cm. 19.5 x 12,5); pagg. 348, 16; leggera cartonatura originale Timbro. VG-. ** Traduzione e note di Federico Garlanda. Seconda edizione. Sono lettere scritte da un colto e facoltoso bostoniano che racconta ai familiari dell'Italia e degli italiani. Forse la sua franchezza Š "anche un po' troppo grande e le sue critiche un po' troppo aspre... ma egli critica, alza la voce e si arrabbia come farebbe per il suo paese. Non mi sono mai imbattuto -scrive il traduttore- in uno scrittore straniero pieno di tanto amore per il nostro paese." E in Italia evidentemente non erano pochi a pensare che lo yankee avesse ragione se venne avviata una sottoscrizione per far avere una copia del volume a ciascuno dei 508 nostri deputati dell'epoca.

2018ill., br. Come e cosa si vedeva durante la Grande guerra? Come sono cambiate le forme di rappresentazione e i modi di vedere in seguito alla catastrofica messa in scena degli orrori della modernità? Paradossalmente, quella che diede luogo a cambiamenti traumatici in ogni campo, dalla geografia politica alla psicologia collettiva, fu una guerra "cieca": cieca perché, nonostante lo sviluppo e la celebrazione delle tecnologie ottiche nel corso dell'Ottocento, esse non furono in grado, alla prova dei fatti, di mostrarla e raccontarla; perché il nemico scomparve del tutto alla vista e questo diede luogo a una tenace competizione ottica per individuare un pericolo minaccioso o un obiettivo da eliminare; perché si sperimentarono per la prima volta una censura e una propaganda che restituirono al fronte interno una visione parziale o del tutto immaginaria del conflitto; perché i vertici militari e politici volsero lo sguardo al passato e non al futuro, e cioè al Ventesimo secolo che veniva annunciato sui campi di battaglia; perché ci si rifiutò di riconoscere l'orrore e di conservarne il ricordo. Tra il 1914 e il 1918 il mondo conobbe una guerra feroce che negò ogni rappresentazione autentica sia della battaglia sia del sacrificio e dell'eroismo dei soldati; allo stesso tempo le tecnologie ottiche, alle quali era (ed è tuttora) assegnato uno statuto incontestabile di verità, rivelarono per la prima volta una loro straordinaria risorsa: la capacità di mentire "oggettivamente", una risorsa che a partire da quel momento avrebbero trasmesso, attraverso la pubblicità e la comunicazione politica, alla nostra contemporaneità.

" The introduction traces the way in which London's fabric has been formed -- the expansion of the 17th and 18th centuries that produced the squares and terraces of Mayfair and Bloomsbury, and the self-confident contribution of the 19th , with its banks, railway stations and grandiose commercial buildings. All these periods, different as they were, respected the human scale, and it is this which the 20th century is ignoring.... " Six guided walks illustrate this phenomena.
