After she bottoms out in Phoenix, her sister in Los Angeles insists Lucy dog-sit for the summer. Annika's home is a gorgeous glass cube on Venice Beach, but Lucy can find little relief from her anxiety — not in the Greek chorus of women in her love addiction therapy group, not in her frequent Tinder excursions, not even in Dominic the foxhound's easy affection. Everything changes when Lucy becomes entranced by an eerily attractive swimmer while sitting alone on the beach rocks one night. But when Lucy learns the truth about his identity, their relationship, and Lucy’s understanding of what love should look like, take a very unexpected turn. A masterful blend of vivid realism and giddy fantasy, pairing hilarious frankness with pulse-racing eroticism, THE PISCES is a story about falling in obsessive love with a merman: a figure of Sirenic fantasy whose very existence pushes Lucy to question everything she thought she knew about love, lust, and meaning in the one life we have.

Why are some parts of the world so rich and others so poor? Why did the Industrial Revolution--and the unprecedented economic growth that came with it--occur in eighteenth-century England, and not at some other time, or in some other place? Why didn't industrialization make the whole world rich--and why did it make large parts of the world even poorer? In A Farewell to Alms, Gregory Clark tackles these profound questions and suggests a new and provocative way in which culture--not exploitation, geography, or resources--explains the wealth, and the poverty, of nations.Countering the prevailing theory that the Industrial Revolution was sparked by the sudden development of stable political, legal, and economic institutions in seventeenth-century Europe, Clark shows that such institutions existed long before industrialization. He argues instead that these institutions gradually led to deep cultural changes by encouraging people to abandon hunter-gatherer instincts-violence, impatience, and economy of effort-and adopt economic habits-hard work, rationality, and education.The problem, Clark says, is that only societies that have long histories of settlement and security seem to develop the cultural characteristics and effective workforces that enable economic growth. For the many societies that have not enjoyed long periods of stability, industrialization has not been a blessing. Clark also dissects the notion, championed by Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs, and Steel, that natural endowments such as geography account for differences in the wealth of nations.A brilliant and sobering challenge to the idea that poor societies can be economically developed through outside intervention, A Farewell to Alms may change the way global economic history is understood.

Mes croyances sont limitées, mais elles sont violentes. Je crois à la possibilité du royaume restreint. Je crois à l'amour écrivait récemment Michel Houellebecq. Le narrateur de Sérotonine approuverait sans réserve. Son récit traverse une France qui piétine ses traditions, banalise ses villes, détruit ses campagnes au bord de la révolte. Il raconte sa vie d'ingénieur agronome, son amitié pour un aristocrate agriculteur (un inoubliable personnage de roman - son double inversé), l'échec des idéaux de leur jeunesse, l'espoir peut-être insensé de retrouver une femme perdue. Ce roman sur les ravages d'un monde sans bonté, sans solidarité, aux mutations devenues incontrôlables, est aussi un roman sur le remords et le regret.

This pocket book starts with the essay “A great thinker or a man of action - how did Bakunin shape anarchism in the 19th century?” by Vyvian Raoul and is followed by Bakunin’s best known work the unfinished God and the State.One of us is soon to tell in all its details the story of the life of Michael Bakunin, but its general features are already sufficiently familiar. Friends and enemies know that this man was great in thought, will, persistent energy they know also with what lofty contempt he looked down upon wealth, rank, glory, all the wretched ambitions which most human beings are base enough to entertain. A Russian gentleman related by marriage to the highest nobility of the empire, he was one of the first to enter that intrepid society of rebels who were able to release themselves from traditions, prejudices, race and class interests, and set their own comfort at naught. With them he fought the stern battle of life, aggravated by imprisonment, exile, all the dangers and all the sorrows that men of self-sacrifice have to undergo during their tormented existence.A simple stone and a name mark the spot in the cemetery of Berne where was laid the body of Bakunin. Even that is perhaps too much to honor the memory of a worker who held vanities of too much to honor the memory of a worker who held vanities of that sort in such slight esteem. His friends surely will raise to him no ostentatious tombstone or statue. They know with what a huge laugh he would have received them, had they spoken to him of a commemorative structure erected to his glory they knew, too, that the true way to honor their dead is to continue their work — with the same ardor and perseverance that they themselves brought to it. In this case, indeed, a difficult task demanding all our efforts, for among the revolutionists of the present generation not one has labored more fervently in the common cause of the Revolution.

Come può essere un quartiere di Torino che si chiama Barriera di Milano? Un avamposto verso il resto del mondo. Infatti, da roccaforte operaia si è trasformato in una babele multietnica. È qui, in una lavanderia a gettoni gestita da un magrebino, che Contrera riceve i suoi clienti. Accanto a un piccolo frigo pieno di birre che provvede a svuotare sistematicamente. I suoi quarant'anni li ha trascorsi quasi tutti per quelle strade. Faceva il poliziotto ma si è fatto cacciare per una brutta storia di droga, ora fa l'investigatore privato senza ufficio ma non senza fantasia. Ha una Panda Young da un quinto di secolo: e quello è «il rapporto più duraturo che abbia mai avuto nella vita». La sua ex moglie lo detesta e la figlia adolescente si rifiuta di rivolgergli la parola. Ad amarlo restano giusto la sorella e i due nipoti, divertiti dalla sua eccentricità. Quando Mohamed, il proprietario della lavanderia, gli chiede di aiutare un ragazzo che si è indebitato con una banda di albanesi, Contrera non può certo tirarsi indietro. Ma come in ogni poliziesco che si rispetti, le cose sono molto più complicate di quanto sembri a prima vista: e quando salta fuori il primo cadavere, Contrera capisce di essersi ficcato in un pasticcio nel quale finirà per rischiare non solo la pelle.

I dannati attribuiscono alle mogli la causa della loro perdizione. Una scusa o la verità? Per scoprirlo, all'inferno si decide di mandare sulla terra un diavolo. Il malcapitato scelto per sperimentare la condizione del matrimonio è Belfagor arcidiavolo, che scoprirà le gioie e soprattutto i dolori dell'amore... L'argomento di questa divertente favola, che salda il tema misogino con quello della furbizia contadina, è tutt'altro che originale. Ma se Machiavelli si pone alla fine di un lungo percorso, con il suo genio demoniaco egli riesce a portare anche questo soggetto lungamente esplorato nei suoi territori, mostrandoci un Plutone principe saggio degli Inferi e ribaltando, ancora una volta, i valori della morale e della politica astrattamente concepite. In appendice si pubblica una storia di possessione demoniaca finora pressoché sconosciuta: Storia di uno spirito in una fanciulla.

Nella quiete sorniona di un sabato mattina in ufficio, mentre Matera si prepara al rituale dello struscio pomeridiano, una telefonata raggiunge il Sostituto Procuratore Imma Tataranni. 'Pensò immediatamente a Valentina, che doveva essere appena uscita da scuola e in quei giorni stava piantando una grana. Invece le dissero che avevano ucciso un ragazzo, a Nova Siri'. Imma per mestiere ha a che fare abitualmente coi morti ammazzati, ma se a morire è un coetaneo di sua figlia, a poco a poco la madre e il procuratore si scopriranno facce della stessa medaglia che finiranno per confondersi e alimentarsi l'un l'altra. L'indagine del procuratore - con le sue tecniche, le sue dinamiche, le rivalità antiche e nuove - pagina dopo pagina assume infatti i contorni del viaggio di una madre alla scoperta di un mistero più importante e profondo: chi sono i nostri figli, che cosa vogliono, che possibilità hanno di questi tempi? In una comunità chiusa del Mezzogiorno italiano, fra dicerie superficiali e misfatti sepolti dalla terra arsa dal sole, Imma scruta, interroga, immagazzina dati: qualche volta inciampa, come sugli irrinunciabili tacchi alti, qualche volta, proprio come con quelli, riesce a ergere lo sguardo oltre l'apparenza dei fatti.

Venezia, fine del Cinquecento: una città tentacolare e spietata in cui anche i muri hanno gli occhi, il doge usa il pugno di ferro e il Sant'Uffizio sospetta di tutti e non ci pensa due volte a mandare a chiamare un poveraccio e a dargli due tratti di corda. La Serenissima osserva, ascolta e condanna. Anche ingiustamente. Ed è proprio per sfuggire a un'accusa infondata che Michele, giovane muratore, è costretto a imbarcarsi su una galera lasciando tutto e senza nemmeno il tempo per salutare la sua bella moglie Bianca, appena diciassettenne. Bandito da Venezia, rematore su una nave che vaga per il Mediterraneo carica di zecchini e di spezie e senza speranza di ritornare a breve, Michele vivrà straordinarie avventure tra le onde, sulle isole e nei porti del mare nostrum, fino ad approdare nelle terre del Sultano. Per sopravvivere, con il pensiero sempre rivolto a Bianca, da ragazzo ignaro e inesperto dovrà farsi uomo astuto, coraggioso e forte. Nel frattempo, Bianca rimane completamente sola in città, tra i palazzi dei signori e il ghetto. Il suo temperamento tenace e orgoglioso dovrà scontrarsi con prove se possibile più dure di quelle toccate a Michele, e incontri non meno terribili e importanti l'attendono nel dedalo di vicoli e calli, tra i profumi intensi delle botteghe di speziali, quello del pane cotto nel forno di quartiere, il torso dell'acqua gelida in cui lavare i panni e i pagliericci pidocchiosi che sono il solo giaciglio per la povera gente.
