Story0
No one could have predicted even two years ago that an African American would take the oath of office as president of the United States in January of 2009. For many, the occasion marks the climax to the civil rights movement and the fulfillment of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream that Americans could be judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin. This collection, with about 400 letters from Americans of all walks of life, is being created to stand as a symbol of this exciting moment in history.

Story1
Derided by the Right as dangerous and by the Left as spineless, Barack Obama puzzles observers. In Reading Obama, James T. Kloppenberg reveals the sources of Obama's ideas and explains why his principled aversion to absolutes does not fit contemporary partisan categories. Obama's commitments to deliberation and experimentation derive from sustained engagement with American democratic thought.

Story0
Signing Their Rights Away chronicles a moment in American history when our elected officials knew how to compromise - and put aside personal gain for the greater good of the nation. These men were just as quirky and flawed as the elected officials we have today: Hugh Williamson believed in aliens, Robert Morris went to prison, Jonathan Dayton stole $18,000 from Congress, and Thomas Mifflin was ruined by alcohol. Yet somehow these imperfect men managed to craft the world’s most perfect Constitution.

The long-awaited biography of the frontier Founding Father whose heroic actions and neglected writings inspired an entire generation, from Paine to Madison. On May 10, 1775, in the storm-tossed hours after midnight, Ethan Allen, the Revolutionary firebrand, was poised for attack. With only two boatloads of his scraggly band of Vermont volunteers having made it across the wind-whipped waters of Lake Champlain, he was waiting for the rest of his Green Mountain boys to arrive....

"Uomini contro la mafia" è la storia di una resistenza anomala. Una resistenza che inizia con la nascita della consorteria mafiosa e prosegue fino ai giorni nostri. È la storia di uomini che hanno speso la propria vita affinché la mafia potesse essere sconfitta e che, troppo spesso, sono caduti per difendere le istituzioni democratiche di un Paese distratto e irriconoscente. Servitori dello Stato e uomini di Chiesa, esponenti della società civile e dirigenti di partito, imprenditori e sindacalisti: personalità diverse unite dallo stesso destino.

L'infanzia ad Alessandria d'Egitto, gli insegnamenti del nonno, la disciplina del collegio, il debutto in società. Poi gli anni in Svizzera, l'università, l'interpretariato, l'incontro con il buddismo.

"Questo è il diario dei giorni che Walter Veltroni ha vissuto da sindaco di Roma, succedendo a Francesco Rutelli che aveva determinato la ripresa della capitale. È il resoconto dal vivo di quella esperienza di governo, dei giorni fondamentali di una stagione in cui Roma cresceva, in Pil e occupazione, tre volte più del resto del Paese, in cui si diede vita a una politica sociale e di inclusione che comportò idee inedite e mezzi nuovi. In cui si affrontò il tema centrale della "ricucitura" di Roma, mettendo le periferie al primo posto.

Cosa significa vivere fuori dal nostro paese per portare aiuto alle persone più deboli del mondo, testimoniando nel concreto il proprio ideale di giustizia sociale? Ecco le storie di vita quotidiana, di emozioni, di gioie, di successi, vissute dagli operatori umanitari italiani di Medici senza frontiere, raccontate attraverso le loro lettere e i loro racconti. Diversi sono gli scenari ma comuni molti dei riferimenti: l'ingiustizia, la mancanza di strutture sanitarie minimali o di acqua, la morte per denutrizione.

Chi è stato in realtà Enrico Berlinguer, il segretario più amato (ma anche contestato e travisato) del Pci? A trent'anni dalla sua morte drammatica e in un mondo radicalmente cambiato, Chiara Valentini ne ricostruisce la storia politica e umana. Dall'infanzia ferita da un dramma familiare a un'adolescenza ribelle, all'incontro con i comunisti e con Togliatti, si snodano la vita e la carriera di questo politico diverso.

27 giugno 2017: nella sede dell'Inps di Torino Nord, in corso Giulio Cesare 290, una donna si cosparge di alcol e si dà fuoco. È Concetta Candido, di mestiere faceva l'addetta alle pulizie in una grande birreria di Settimo Torinese, inquadrata in una cooperativa inventata e presieduta dagli stessi titolari della birreria. Da sei mesi Concetta è stata licenziata. Così, senza lavoro, senza liquidazione e con il sussidio di disoccupazione che per un disguido burocratico non arriva, Concetta giunge all'apice della disperazione.

Una storia vera, simile a un romanzo di avventure: l'incredibile vicenda del commerciante padovano Giorgio Perlasca (1910-1992) che, nell'inverno del 1944, a Budapest, riuscì a salvare dallo sterminio migliaia di ebrei, spacciandosi per il console spagnolo. Era stato un fascista entusiasta e aveva combattuto in Spagna come volontario per Franco. L'8 settembre 1943 lo trovò lontano da casa, ricercato dalle SS. Avrebbe potuto mettersi in salvo, decise di rischiare la vita.

Narrando le azioni e le ragioni che muovono i corpi ribelli, l'autore attraversa epoche e luoghi diversi, dall'Europa all'America Latina, portando alla luce le esistenze di uomini e donne che hanno sacrificato tutto a un ideale. Insieme alle gesta di Tupac Amaru o del condottiero maya "Serpente Nero", rivivono le imprese di "Quico" Sabaté, l'anarchico inventore di un mortaio lancia-proclami per bombardare i franchisti; le beffe della primula rossa Silvio Corbari, il partigiano che prendeva in giro i nazifascisti.

In Siria, alle porte di Damasco, la città ribelle di Daraya è alle corde per l'assedio implacabile dell'esercito di Assad. Un inferno che dura da quattro lunghissimi anni, scanditi dai bombardamenti con i barili esplosivi, gli attacchi con il gas, la morsa della fame che stringe gli abitanti isolati. Per reagire alla violenza del regime, alla mortificazione emotiva, al senso di sconfitta e terrore che pervade la popolazione, quaranta giovani volontari decidono di dedicarsi a cercare e mettere al sicuro migliaia di libri finiti sotto le macerie delle case e delle scuole.

Além disso, contaram um com o outro para consolidar seus poderes e alcançar objetivos políticos.
