Charlotte Brontes novel Villette is a captivating story of a young Englishwoman, Lucy Snowe, who travels to the fictional town of Villette in the fictional country of Labassecour, where she becomes a teacher at a girls school. Through Lucys experiences, Bronte delves into themes of isolation, female independence, love, and the struggle to find ones identity. Written in a Victorian Gothic style, the novel explores the darker aspects of the human psyche, revealing the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations. Brontes intricate storytelling and vivid descriptions immerse the reader in Lucys emotional journey, making Villette a timeless classic in English literature. Charlotte Bronte, known for her groundbreaking novel Jane Eyre, drew upon her own experiences as a governess in Brussels to craft this semi-autobiographical tale. Her keen observations of the human condition and profound understanding of the complexities of female relationships shine through in Villette. I highly recommend Villette to readers who enjoy richly textured narratives, thought-provoking themes, and powerful character development.

Collected between these covers are twenty of Norman Lewiss finest pieces of travel writing, spanning a period of 30 years. He brings us face to face with Castros executioner, with a tragic Ernest Hemingway and with the unchanged lifestyle of fishermen in an unspoilt Ibiza. He describes the gentle pleasures of Belize, the ferocious blood feuds of Sardinian bandits and the unpleasant duty of repatriating Cossacks to the Soviet Union in 1944. At the heart of the collection is Lewiss famous report on the genocide of the Brazilians Indians, which led to the creation of Survival International - which campaigns for the rights of tribal peoples. This, Lewis felt, was the most important achievement of his professional life.

QUESTO LIBRO E A LAYOUT FISSOIl capolavoro di Thomas More appare ora come non mai, in unepoca segnata da contrasti religiosi e culturali, un testo di sorprendente attualita. Se a suscitare domande e perplessita fu, in passato, il modello della societa da lui proposto (e ispirato a principi di assoluto egualitarismo) oggi stupisce lampio respiro delle analisi politiche e di costume e lo sforzo di proporre modelli di governo alternativi a quelli convenzionali.Un testo che cerca luomo oltre lindividuo, che critica il potere ipotizzandone, al contempo, una nuova formulazione.Thomas More ( 1478-1535)Dedico se stesso in parti uguali alla politica e alla sua attivita umanistica. Fu decapitato per ordine di Enrico VIII, essendo rimasto fedele alla tradizione cattolica in contrasto con le nuove direttive religiose del sovrano. Per questo fu canonizzato, come martire, nel 1935.
