Good evening:) a few days ago I received a newsletter from Sperling & Kupfer on the party for the unification of Italy: we have 2 very interesting books, so I decided to post them to you to know
Author: Antonio Caprica
Pages: 276
Price: € 18.50
Plot: February 18, 1861: Turin is invaded by an unusual crowd rushed to assist the baptism of the Kingdom of Italy Vittorio Emanuele II to applaud a crowd of deputies and senators, including Alessandro Manzoni, Giuseppe Verdi, Garibaldi and Massimo d'Azeglio in red shirt. Among them our special envoy Anthony Caprara. How was Italy? What is your real face? In Naples the Bourbon court seething with plots, Garibaldi fake line up to receive the pension of soldiers and low dispossessed continue their miserable lives. In Calabria, the new administration comes up with an idea very strange to ensure hygiene and public health is to ban the pigs! In the south of the country's civil war began between the "bandits" and the host of the "gentlemen" who turn out to be brutal torturers, while elsewhere patriots unaware of this brutal reality continue to die across the nation to unite and conquer Rome, where Pius IX put to death the "liberal" and ordered police raids on moral alcoves suspected of immorality. Caprarica meets noblewomen who go from the salons to field hospitals; men of pen and action "who leave school to fight, mothers who encourage their children not to abandon the struggle and girls who join the partisans. The reporter collects their stories and record with fidelity and liveliness, to compose a complete and truthful to the History of Italy facing.
Author: Giovanni Fasanella, Antonella Grippo
Pages: 288
Price: € 18.50
Plot: Italy has not changed. It has become what today is because it is born that way and was told in a certain way. The rhetoric of the Risorgimento, full of noble intentions, unblemished heroes, political genius and visionary, was the carpet where we hid under the dust of history. So now if you want to understand this country "sick," suffering from endemic vices that seem ineradicable, perhaps it would go over well the first days of his life. This book revives a thread of intrigue, crime and dishonesty that has its head in just the way in which the unit was first created and then managed. The transformer in a political corruption, the tendency to compromise with the powers that be, to use secret agents for non-institutional use in crime, for reasons of state to exploit the work of terrorists and revolutionaries all this, in textbooks on which whole generations have been formed, there is simply no. The subsequent history of reticence has sinned, and this removal process is now hopelessly guilty. Giovanni Fasanella and Antonella Grippo with this awkward, cruel and anti-rhetorical are allocated from the beginning and told that for too long has been indicated. In many books it says that "reads like a novel." It is also true for 1861, with one difference: it would be nice that it was a novel, it would mean that it is an invented story. But it is not.
interesting to better understand the history of our country, I would advise those who do not know why it was chosen to celebrate March 17 (see: political)
Stay tuned!
