Under the Roofs of Paris (0802131832)

In 1941, Henry Miller, the author of Tropic of Cancer, was commissioned by a Los Angeles bookseller to write an erotic novel for a dollar a page. Under the Roofs of Paris (originally published as Opus Pistorum) is that book. Here one finds Miller's characteristic candor, wit, self-mockery, and celebration of the good life. From Marcelle to Tania, to Alexandra, to Anna, and from the Left Bank to Pigalle, Miller sweeps us up in his odyssey in search of the perfect job, the perfect woman, and the perfect experience.

Ponti Non Muri : Cantieri Di Incontro Tra Israeliani E Palestinesi (8862401027)

Questo libro racconta il dramma israelo-palestinese attraverso alcuni dei suoi temi-simbolo. Ma, nello stesso tempo, vuole mostrare come siano presenti, pur in mezzo a tante tensioni, significative esperienze di riconciliazione. Tornando a riflettere sulla celebre frase pronunciata da Giovanni Paolo II - "Non di muri, ma di ponti ha bisogno la Terra Santa" - emerge la necessita di non fermarsi ai segni di divisione, come il muro che separa Israele e i Territori palestinesi. Il passo realmente impegnativo, da cui dipende la possibilita concreta della pace, e infatti quello che porta alla costruzione di ponti. Per questo motivo l'autore ci propone di incontrare gli israeliani e i palestinesi che provano a dialogare tra loro. Product details Format Paperback | 126
