Laura McVeigh Sotto stelle silenziose
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 16.62 € (+2.70 €)Il commovente romanzo d’esordio di Laura McVeigh fotografa una terra martoriata, l’Afghanistan dopo l’invasione sovietica, attraverso gli occhi di una giovane donna e l’esperienza della sua famiglia. \r\n\r\n«Il romanzo di Laura McVeigh è molto più di un bell’esordio, è un libro capace di catturare il vastissimo pubblico dei giovani lettori e della narrativa letteraria per adulti, perché parla di un tema trasversale, è una meditazione sulla guerra, la perdita, la speranza e la vita dei rifugiati. Un libro indispensabile perché senza tempo, nel tempo di oggi» - Irish Independent\r\n\r\n«Vivido, memorabile, una storia molto umana che non indulge mai alla pietà. Il potere dell’immaginazione sostiene la tragedia raccontata nel romanzo» - Irish Times\r\n\r\n\r\nAfsana, ragazzina afghana di undici anni, è in viaggio a bordo di un treno della Transiberiana, in territorio russo: legge Anna Karenina e ascolta le storie e i consigli del capotreno Napoleone. Sono i primi anni Novanta, e Afsana è diretta a Mosca, dalla zia Amira, una sorella di sua madre fuggita dall’Afghanistan all’arrivo dei mujaheddin. Anche Afsana è in fuga, dalla storia sua e della sua famiglia, che il buon Napoleone la convince a scrivere. Una storia tragica, una famiglia annientata dalla lunga guerra civile: Dil e Azita, e i loro sei figli. All’inizio del libro, e per lunga parte del racconto, il lettore è convinto che sul treno viaggi tutta la famiglia, e Laura McVeigh molto abilmente introduce episodi realistici per farglielo credere. Ma man mano che Afsana rievoca il passato, capiamo che madre e padre, fratelli e sorelle, sono morti, finché ogni segreto riguardo a quanto realmente avvenuto verrà svelato. La prima cosa che viene in mente leggendo questo romanzo è un paragone con Il cacciatore di aquiloni, dato che la piccola Afsana rievoca spesso anche la bellezza di quel cielo limpido dell’Afghanistan solcato dalle code colorate degli aquiloni: magia annientata dai talebani insieme alla popolazione, alla storia, alla cultura. Ma il racconto di McVeigh ha una marcia in più, una voce narrante particolarissima, ingenua ed elegante, fresca e delicata, mai eccessiva, capace di narrare in uno stile sospeso tra realtà e visione, senza che queste si confondano o appaiano poco plausibili. \r\nSotto stelle silenziose è un bellissimo esordio, fresco e delicato. L’autrice, Laura McVeigh, che è stata Executive Director del Pen International, è impegnata nella cooperazione e conosce bene i territori che racconta, senza lunghe descrizioni ma per immagini chiare e efficaci.

Jane McVeigh Richmal Crompton, Author of Just William: A Literary Life
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 23.74 € (+2.70 €)Richmal Crompton, Author of Just William: A Literary Life celebrates the first two William books, Just William (1922) and More William (1922). As well as a study of her famous character William Brown, this book is an introduction to Richmal Crompton’s less well-known fiction and a story about her writing life. Her multifaceted identity—her deep knowledge of Classical Greek and Latin literature and languages, her life as a disabled writer, and her writing about domestic violence and disability—played a role in her literary persona. Jane McVeigh moves beyond Richmal Crompton’s impact on children’s literature and offers an appraisal of all her writing including her novels and short fiction, her media profile on radio and TV, her impact on her readers—both adults and children—and her international success. Particularly, McVeigh considers Crompton in the context of twentieth century woman writers and the development of crossover fiction for dual audiences. The book argues that as a woman writer pigeon-holed as a writer for children, Crompton’s other novels and short stories have been side-lined and overlooked. More than a century after the first book collection of Crompton’s William stories was published, this biography places Richmal Crompton among other twentieth century women writers.

James MacVeigh Bristol Pubs
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 24.01 € (+2.70 €)Ever since it was the starting point for voyages of discovery to the New World, the old port of Bristol has boasted a wealth of taverns, inns, alehouses, and public houses. Most of the older drinking establishments that have survived have stories to tell – frequently quirky or surprising, but always interesting and often with nautical links. Some involve real historical figures such as Daniel Defoe and Alexander Selkirk, the model for Robinson Crusoe, while others are connected with fictional characters like Long John Silver. And some were used by smugglers, press gangs, privateers and out-and-out pirates.\n\nLocal author James MacVeigh takes the reader on a fascinating journey through some of Bristol’s oldest and most notorious watering holes. He explores their histories and hidden secrets and tells of the many characters that have frequented or run the city’s public houses.

Jeffrey Toobin Homegrown: Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 13.05 € (+2.70 €)The definitive account of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the enduring legacy of Timothy McVeigh, leading to the January 6 insurrection—from acclaimed journalist Jeffrey Toobin.\n\nTimothy McVeigh wanted to start a movement.\n \nSpeaking to his lawyers days after the Oklahoma City bombing, the Gulf War veteran expressed no regrets: killing 168 people was his patriotic duty. He cited the Declaration of Independence from memory: “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.” He had obsessively followed the siege of Waco and seethed at the imposition of President Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban. A self-proclaimed white separatist, he abhorred immigration and wanted women to return to traditional roles. As he watched the industrial decline of his native Buffalo, McVeigh longed for when America was great.\n \nNew York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin traces the dramatic history and profound legacy of Timothy McVeigh, who once declared, “I believe there is an army out there, ready to rise up, even though I never found it.” But that doesn’t mean his army wasn’t there. With news-breaking reportage, Toobin details how McVeigh’s principles and tactics have flourished in the decades since his death in 2001, reaching an apotheosis on January 6 when hundreds of rioters stormed the Capitol. Based on nearly a million previously unreleased tapes, photographs, and documents, including detailed communications between McVeigh and his lawyers, as well as interviews with such key figures as Bill Clinton, Homegrown reveals how the story of Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing is not only a powerful retelling of one of the great outrages of our time, but a warning for our future.

Jeffrey Toobin Homegrown: Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 23.75 € (+2.70 €)From New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin comes the definitive account of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the enduring legacy of far-right terrorist Timothy McVeigh, including the January 6th insurrection.\n \n The Oklahoma City Bombing was a traumatic event for the US, stunned by the homegrown terrorism and senseless deaths. A veteran of the Gulf War, McVeigh longed to overthrow the government. A self-proclaimed white separatist, he abhorred immigration and wanted women to return to traditional roles. As he watched the industrial decline of his native Buffalo, McVeigh longed for when America was great.\n\n Ever since fascination for Timothy McVeigh has grown over the years.\n\n McVeigh's incendiary principles are exemplified by the paramilitary wing of the conservative movement, which thrived during Trump's presidency. Toobin reveals how McVeigh's values and tactics have flourished in the decades since his death, reaching an apotheosis on January 6th when hundreds of rioters stormed the Capitol.\n\n With unparalleled access to hundreds of unreleased documents and tapes, Toobin chronicles the nation's descent into white supremacy and political violence, tracing the parallels between McVeigh's desire to \"make America great again\" and the rioters who launched an insurrection on the Capitol.\n\n Based on nearly a million previously unreleased tapes, photographs, and documents, Homegrown reveals how the story of Timothy McVeigh is not only a glimpse of the past but a warning for our shared future.

Wendy S. Painting Aberration in the Heartland of the Real: The Secret Lives of Timothy McVeigh
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 26.54 €Presenting startling new biographical details about Timothy McVeigh and exposing stark contradictions and errors contained in previous depictions of the \"All-American Terrorist,\" this book traces McVeigh's life from childhood to the Army, throughout the plot to bomb the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and the period after his 1995 arrest until his 2001 execution. McVeigh's life, as Dr. Wendy Painting describes it, offers a backdrop for her discussion of not only several intimate and previously unknown details about him, but a number of episodes and circumstances in American History as well. In Aberration in the Heartland, Painting explores Cold War popular culture, all-American apocalyptic fervor, organized racism, contentious politics, militarism, warfare, conspiracy theories, bioethical controversies, mind control, the media's construction of villains and demons, and institutional secrecy and cover-ups. All these stories are examined, compared, and tested in Aberration in the Heartland of the Real, making this book a much closer examination into the personality and life of Timothy McVeigh than has been provided by any other biographical work about him

Brian McVeigh How Religion Evolved: Explaining the Living Dead, Talking Idols, and Mesmerizing Monuments
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 154.38 €Why did many religious leaders—Moses, Old Testament prophets, Zoroaster—claim they heard divine voices? Why do ancient civilizations exhibit key similarities, e.g., the \"living dead\" (treating the dead as if they were still alive); \"speaking idols\" (care and feeding of effigies); monumental mortuary architecture and \"houses of gods\" (pyramids, ziggurats, temples)? How do we explain strange behaviour such as spirit possession, speaking in tongues, channelling, hypnosis, and schizophrenic hallucinations? Are these lingering vestiges of an older mentality?\n\nBrian J. McVeigh answers these riddles by updating \"bicameralism.\" First proposed by the psychologist Julian Jaynes, this theory postulates that an earlier mentality existed: a \"human\" (the brain's left hemisphere) heard voices of \"gods\" or \"ancestors\" (the brain's right hemisphere). Therefore, ancient religious texts reporting divine voices were recounting of audio-visual hallucinations—a method of social control when early populations expanded. As growing political economic complexity destabilized god-governed states in the late second millennium BCE, divine voices became inadequate.\n\nEventually, humans had to culturally acquire new cognitive skills (modern religions) to accommodate increasing social pressures: selves replaced the gods and history witnessed an \"inward turn.\" This psychological interiorization of spiritual experience laid the foundations for the world's great religions and philosophies that arose in India, China, Greece, and the Middle East in the middle of the first millennium BCE.

Chrys McVey Il dialogo come missione
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 13.30 € (+2.70 €)Il volume raccoglie una serie di scritti di fra Chrys McVey (1933-2009), domenicano statunitense vissuto per più di quarant'anni in Pakistan come missionario. È stato uno dei collaboratori del Maestro dell'Ordine fra Timothy Radcliffe come responsabile per la vita apostolica dell'Ordine tra il 2002 e il 2008. La sua esperienza della missione vissuta in un paese come il Pakistan lo ha condotto a maturare un pensiero teologico centrato sull'importanza dell'incontro tra culture diverse e sul dialogo interreligioso ed una spiritualità \"con gli occhi aperti\". Egli amava dire che proprio nell'esperienza della missione \"fuori dell'accampamento\" aveva ricevuto la sua formazione ed era \"rinato\". I suoi testi raccolti in questo volume esprimono la sua sensibilità aperta a scorgere nella vita, nell'esperienza dei poveri e soprattutto nell'incontro delle diversità, motivi per approfondire l'ascolto del vangelo e per vivere la chiamata al cuore della missione dell'Ordine domenicano di una predicazione per la salvezza dell'umanità.
