Senza più esitare: Un'ipocondriaca a Parigi di Lucilla Ferretti

 

 

Ero messa male, veramente male. Improvvisamente un giorno d'estate, mentre stavo facendo una nuotata al mare sperimentai il primo attacco di panico. Ero al largo e mi accorsi che non riuscivo più a nuotare. Pensai che sarei sicuramente annegata. Riuscii a tornare a riva con un espediente, ma quello fu solo l'inizio. A seguire arrivò la paura dell'aereo, del treno, dei tunnel in autostrada, della metropolitana, degli ascensori e infine la paura della paura di un attacco di panico. Il mio campo d'azione si restringeva sempre di più, soffocandomi. Per me che amo tanto viaggiare, significava scivolare in una prigione dalla quale era impossibile evadere perché le mura erano invisibili. Dopo anni di passaggi inconcludenti e dispendiosi da uno psicologo all'altro, finalmente mi venne un'idea: lasciare tutto e trasferirmi a Parigi. Perché Parigi? Così d'istinto, forse perché l'amavo prima ancora di innamorarmene. Così è iniziata la mia avventura.

How to Be Italian: Eat, Drink, Dress, Travel and Love La Dolce Vita by Maria Pasquale

 

 

Delve into the art of loving and living in every moment.

'Italian' is as evocative a word as any, but what does it really mean? The answer is a lifestyle that many envy, from one of the world's most beloved countries - aperitifs and the art of drinking coffee. Feast days and a quiet August. Cities steeped in history, where the past is always present and countless style and fashion icons reside. In a country where wine is produced in every region, food is deeply entrenched in tradition, and some of the world's greatest artists, composers, and thinkers have lived, passion is everywhere and la dolce vita thrives.

This book is a celebration of what it means to be from Italy - an education in drinking to savour the moment, travelling indulgently, and dolce far niente - the sweetness of doing nothing. From the innovation of Italian fashion and design, the golden age of its cinema, the Roman Empire's cultural echoes, and some very good espresso, take a dip into the Italian psyche and learn to eat, love, dress, think, and have fun as only Italia can.

We’ve been stuck at home for long enough! It’s time to get out and taste the world again. From those ever-curious, ever-quirky minds behind the #1 New York Times bestselling Atlas Obscura, with over 800,00 copies in print, comes an unputdownable guide that marries our endless appetite for travel with our insatiable interest in food. Continent by continent, country by country, Gastro Obscura takes up the mantle of Atlas Obscura to radically expand our sense of wonder about the world—in this case, what humans eat and drink, which turns out to be far more marvelous than we could ever imagine.

Created by the founders of AtlasObscura.com, GastroObscura.com delivers fresh food stories daily to the millions of Atlas Obscura readers and Facebook fans, along with its own burgeoning dedicated email newsletter that is currently reaching over 192,000. And it is now serving up the best of it in a lavishly illustrated food-lover’s gift of nearly 500 dishes, ingredients, traditions, and experiences.

A croissant museum in Poland. Focusing as much on food’s place in our lives as well as our bellies, the book covers history—the network of ancient Roman fish sauce factories. Culture—picture four million women gathering to make rice pudding. Travel—scale China's Mount Hua to reach a sacred tea house.

And such truly surprising delicacies as sturgeon spinal cord, blood tofu, stinkbug tacos, and more.

Minimalista: Your Step-by-Step Guide to a Better Home, Wardrobe, and Life by Shira Gill

 

 

Elevate your personal style, trim your belongings, and transform your life, one room at a time, with this visionary lifestyle and home organization book from professional organizing expert, Shira Gill.

As a professional home organizer with clients ranging from students to multi-millionaires, Shira Gill observed that clutter is a universal stress trigger. Over the years she created a signature decluttering and organization process that promotes sustainability, achieves lasting results, and can be applied to anyone, regardless of their space or lifestyle. Rather than imposing strict rules and limitations, Shira redefines minimalism as having the perfect amount of everything—for you—based on your personal values and the limitations of your space. 
 
Now, in Minimalista, Shira shares her complete toolkit for the first time, built around five key steps: Clarify, Edit, Organize, Elevate, and Maintain. Once you learn the methodology you'll dive into the hands-on work, choose-your-own-adventure style: knock out a room, or even a single drawer; style a bookshelf; donate a sweater. Shira teaches that the most important thing you can do is start, and that small victories, achieved one at a time, will snowball into massive transformation. Broken into small, bite-sized chunks, Minimalista makes it clear that if the process is fun and easy to follow, anyone can learn the principles of editing and organization.

Kurtz, these pages explore mental health, identity, handling setbacks, and finding humor in the unknown—and will be a touchstone for seekers, graduates, creatives, and anyone who’s trying to figure out what’s next (and maybe even feel a little hopeful about it).
 

The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times (Global Icon Series) by Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams

 

 

In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope?

Looking at the headlines--a global pandemic, the worsening climate crisis, political upheaval--it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.

In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living naturalist and Douglas Abrams, internationally-bestselling author, explore--through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue--one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her “Four Reasons for Hope”: The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.

Told through stories from a remarkable career and fascinating research, The Book of Hope touches on vital questions including: How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? How do we cultivate hope in our children? Filled with engaging dialogue and pictures from Jane’s storied career, The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of the most beloved figures in today’s world.

And for the first time, Jane tells the story of how she became a messenger of hope: from living through World War II, to her years in Gombe, to realizing she had to leave the forest to travel the world in her role as an advocate for environmental justice. She details the forces that shaped her hopeful worldview, her thoughts on her past, and her revelations about her next--and perhaps final--adventure.

There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it.

The Gap and The Gain: The High Achievers Guide to Happiness, Confidence, and Success by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Dr. Hardy

 

 

As he did in WHO NOT HOW, Dr. Benjamin Hardy shares one of Dan Sullivan’s simple yet profound teachings that until now has been known only to his Strategic Coach clients: unsuccessful people focus on “The Gap,” but successful people focus on “The Gain.”

Most people, especially highly ambitious people, are unhappy because of what they measure themselves against. We all have an ideal, which is like a moving target always out of reach. When we measure ourselves against our ideal, we’re in “The Gap.” However, when we measure ourselves against our previous selves—the person we were when we set our goals and ideals—we will be in “The Gain.” In “The Gain” we can more clearly see the progress we’ve made, and therefore will experience the happiness, confidence, and satisfaction that come from achieving—positive, powerful emotions that will motivate us to pursue new goals and ultimately become increasingly successful.

La Poesia e la Libertà Antologia del Festival e Premio Internazionale di poesia e narrativa Europa in Versi 2020

Con questa antologia “festeggiamo” la decima edizione del Festival Internazionale di Poesia Europa in versi, che si è tenuto on line a causa dell’incertezza legata alla possibilità di organizzare eventi con un pubblico numeroso, dovuta alla pandemia causata dal virus Covid19. In tal modo non abbiamo voluto rinunciare ad organizzare questo importante evento, da anni ormai radicato sul nostro territorio e conosciuto a livello internazionale. In dieci anni La Casa della Poesia di Como, con il Festival Europa in versi, ha portato a Como e Milano poeti di fama mondiale provenienti da ogni parte del mondo, dalla Nuova Zelanda al Giappone, dalla Corea del Sud agli Stati Uniti, alla Colombia, all’Uruguay, al Cile, a Cuba, al Brasile, all’Iran, al Libano, alla Turchia, oltre che dalla maggior dei Paesi europei. Ogni anno il Festival ha trattato un tema di rilevanza culturale o di attualità e le antologie uscite fino ad oggi sono una importante opportunità non solo per avere una panoramica della poesia a livello mondiale, ma anche per incontrare attraverso la parola poetica “l’altro da sé”, indispensabile in un mondo globalizzato. (Dall’Introduzione di Laura Garavaglia).

Mai tema, programmato fin dal 2019, potrebbe essere più in sintonia con la situazione del momento. La poesia afferma la sua vocazione alla resistenza (o alla resilienza, come si ama dire oggi), declinandola nelle sue più svariate forme in relazione con l’individualità e la situazione sociale del poeta. La parola diventa allora pronunciamento di resistenza politica, di resistenza all’emarginazione, di resistenza al male e al nemico, di resistenza all’esilio e all’isolamento, di resistenza all’odio, di resistenza ai propri demoni interiori o semplicemente all’ineluttabilità del tempo che passa. Una vocazione a rappresentare la dignità dell’essere umano che non è certamente innescata eccezionalmente dai tempi della pandemia. Semmai questi ultimi evidenziano come tale vocazione sia parte costituzionale della dimensione del poetico e sia soprattutto una invocazione del poeta all’altro, ove l’altro non è un ente alieno o metafisico, ma l’Uomo nella sua identità collettiva. La poesia, cioè, è sempre una campana, chiama a raccolta, esige riconoscimento e schieramento sotto il vessillo di una opposizione. È il suo stesso statuto di proposta di scrittura eterodossa ad autorizzare il deragliamento al di là dei binari della consuetudine e dei più compromessi usi e abusi della parola. (dall’introduzione di Andrea Tavernati)

Ricette di Piemonte: la Cucina Piemontese di B. Minerdo, Davide Gallizio, e al.

 

 

Un territorio variegato, pianure, colline e montagne; prodotti e tecniche di cucina che delineano una gastronomia capace di andare oltre i confini regionali. Le montagne, che abbracciano la pianura guardando a sud verso il mare, Torino, la Langa e il Monferrato rispecchiano culture diverse e ci regalano un patrimonio di sapori e profumi. Classici del territorio e nuove preparazioni hanno come filo conduttore materie prime di qualità elaborate in modo semplice, il legame con la zona di provenienza, l'importanza delle stagioni. Zuppe, paste ripiene e non, bolliti, brasati e arrosti, piatti simbolo come la bagna caoda e il fritto misto, ingredienti pregiati come funghi e tartufi e tante altre ricette che rappresentano la più autentica tradizione piemontese. Introduzione di Letizia Palesi.

Guida al Piemonte insolito e misterioso. 40 viaggi tra i luoghi più inconsueti della regione di Lorenzo Sartorio e Isabella Dalla Vecchia

 

 

Tutti conoscono il Piemonte per la straordinaria bellezza e varietà del suo patrimonio artistico e paesaggistico. Meno nota è invece la presenza, accanto a questo, di un altro Piemonte, fatto di castelli infestati, edifici abbandonati, chiese dalle insolite simbologie e megaliti dalle origini misteriose: che si tratti di ambienti ameni, bizzarri o decisamente inquietanti, ciascuno di essi ha la capacità di sorprendere ed emozionare chi decide di abbandonare i percorsi turistici più tradizionali per mettersi alla loro ricerca, per caso o per curiosità. E tutti hanno una serie di storie e di leggende incredibili che finiscono col confondersi, ma che meritano di essere narrate, cercando il più possibile di distinguere tra gli elementi reali e quelli decisamente più fantasiosi, se non proprio inventati. Suddivisi nelle otto province, "Guida al Piemonte insolito e misterioso" propone 40 luoghi, accompagnando la loro storia con un ricco corredo di immagini scattate dall'autore, ben sapendo di non esaurire il tema, ma con il proposito di incuriosire il lettore ed invitarlo a scoprire, o a riscoprire, un altro volto della regione, forse meno noto, ma ugualmente meritevole di essere raccontato ed esplorato. Prefazione di Isabella Dalla Vecchia.

Piemonte abbandonato. Ediz. illustrata di Davide Calloni e Alessandro Tesei

 

 

Storia e immagini di decine di luoghi straordinari abbandonati in tutta la regione. Meraviglie dimenticate dal tempo e dagli uomini. Riportate in piena luce dall'urbex, la urban exploration. Un nuovo modo d'indagare il paesaggio che ci circonda, un nuovo modo di raccontarlo. Il Piemonte nasconde molti segreti che ancora non conosciamo. O, meglio, li abbiamo sotto gli occhi, ma non li vediamo. Sono teatri, ville, ospedali, chiese, conventi, palazzi e fabbriche, sparsi nelle nostre città e nelle nostre campagne, meraviglie architettoniche abbandonate, rimaste come congelate nel tempo, talvolta devastate dall'incuria e dagli anni, avvolte dalla vegetazione, talvolta intatte come per miracolo, come se l'ultimo abitante se ne fosse andato da pochi minuti. Un libro per scoprirle, un'esplorazione di un «altro Piemonte», un Piemonte che nessuno vede, che bisogna andarsi a cercare frugando fra le pieghe del territorio, indagato e documentato in una sequenza di immagini.

Piemonte nascosto. 55 luoghi da scoprire e visitare di Roberto Bamberga e Augusto Bertini

 

 

Dove si trova il più grande ciclo pittorico medievale del Piemonte? E in quale chiesa di campagna si può ammirare la cappella Sistina piemontese? Dove si possono scoprire le tracce di uno dei più grandi «supervulcani» fossili del mondo, ormai estinto, ma capace di modellare un territorio amplissimo e insospettabile? In quale valle alpina sono conservati il mantello nuziale di Maria Antonietta e il drappo funebre di Luigi XIV? Chi, piemontese o turista, pensa di conoscere tutto del Piemonte, rimarrà sorpreso dai segreti che questa regione nasconde. Perché al di là delle città, delle regge sabaude, dei sacri monti e dei beni UNESCO, esiste un Piemonte «laterale» straordinario, inatteso, variegato, prezioso, che attende soltanto d'essere scoperto. È un Piemonte policentrico, fatto di storia e di storie, di chiese romaniche e castelli medievali, d'arte e mestieri scomparsi, di capolavori architettonici nascosti e residenze nobiliari di straordinaria ricchezza decorativa, di musei curiosi e spesso irripetibili, perché espressione unica della storia e delle tradizioni di un territorio stratificato e delle comunità che per secoli l'hanno abitato. 55 luoghi da non perdere. Per ognuno, una descrizione, le informazioni per la visita, un apparato iconografico realizzato ad hoc.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The book that sparked a revolution and inspired the hit Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo: the original guide to decluttering your home once and for all.

ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE—CNN

Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you’ll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo’s clients have lapsed (and she still has a three-month waiting list). 

With detailed guidance for determining which items in your house “spark joy” (and which don’t), this international bestseller will help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home—and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.

Subbuglio di Alessandra Peluso (I Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni di Stefano Donno)

C’è una tendenza nella poesia italiana che va avanti da sette secoli ed è un portato diretto dell’azione di Francesco Petrarca: il lessico dev’essere rarefatto, selezionato, deve escludere aspetti troppo realistici e diretti, non deve descrivere in modo diretto la realtà. Anche senza conoscere Petrarca (ma i Grandi lo conoscono bene), i nostri poeti non scrivono quasi mai la parola aereo, o ferro da stiro, o melanzana: le loro piante sono il viburno, l’edera, il gelsomino, non la gramigna, il melone, il pomodoro. Abbiamo fatto questa premessa perché Subbuglio, l’ultima raccolta di Alessandra Peluso, è come minimo una lettura sorprendente: riesce a tenere insieme la lezione formale di Petrarca con il punto di vista femminile sull’amore, inteso questa volta più come eros che come agape, aspetto già questo di grande originalità e di cui troviamo pochi precedenti nella poesia italiana. Riesce a sublimare, attraverso un linguaggio etereo e ricercatissimo, aspetti intimi. Suggerisce, non descrive. Inspira ed espira seguendo il ritmo binario della natura, che è quello delle maree. Quello della notte e del giorno. Quello della terra e del cielo. Quello del silenzio e del suono. Quello del battere e levare. Quello della sensualità. Quello della sessualità.
