E' trascorso più di mezzo secolo dal termine del secondo conflitto mondiale, ma i suoi orrori sono sempre vivi nel ricordo di coloro che, attori coatti di un’immane tragedia, li patirono. Nel dopoguerra, anno dopo anno, sono uscite sempre più numerose le pubblicazioni (libri-documento, memoriali, storie romanzate, ecc.) che in molteplici modi attestano la partecipazione, diretta o indiretta, dei loro autori nella storia recente. Io ritengo giusto ed educativo che, al di fuori e a completamento dei testi prettamente storici scritti dagli specialisti, la tematica della guerra sia stata e sia tuttora così ampiamente divulgata. Ben venga perciò quest’altro libro di guerra - o piuttosto di prigionia - scritto da Antonio Miceli; egli, a differenza di molti altri, da’ spazio, oltre che all’oppressione cupa che caratterizzava i Lager tedeschi, anche ad episodi di gentilezza, d’affetto e d’umana solidarietà. La qual cosa sembra suggerire che la natura umana (la sua socievolezza) - pur nel mezzo delle azioni più atroci - non arriva mai ad essere del tutto stravolta: neppure quando la feroce legge della sopravvivenza induca il singolo al più brutale egoismo. Merito non piccolo del Miceli è l’aver saputo raccontare la propria esperienza con grande senso della misura, eludendo - per innato pudore - il facile effetto dell’enfasi: ciò anche quando in rapide notazioni evoca lo sfacelo della fine, con le SS che uccidono crudelmente i moribondi e i fuggiaschi e, nel contempo, cercano di reclutare altri uomini per un’ulteriore disperata resistenza; la narrazione, pur drammatica, non è truculenta, ma realistica.
Antonio Rosmini-Serbati (1797D1855) was one of the first natural law scholars to bring natural law thinking into a conversation with the market economic order that was beginning to emerge in Europe in the 19th century. His reflections on matters such as the origin, nature, and limits of private property, the role of the state, and the nature of human reason show him to be a unique, innovative thinker who nonetheless was determined to work within the parameters of Catholic doctrine. Many of these ideas are concretized in his seminal work The Constitution Under Social Justice, a text that has profound instights to offer those today seeking to integrate theology, philosophy, and economics into their conceptions of a social order that aspires to be both free and just.
George ed Elisa si conoscono grazie a una terribile coincidenza. In Campania, nel 1943. Elisa è bellissima e George è un soldato. Si incontrano dopo lo sbarco degli inglesi sulle coste italiane, in una mattinata di mercato e grande trambusto. Lui non è coraggioso ma per lei diventa il più temerario degli eroi, diventa il suo eroe. Uccide per salvarla da un destino forse peggiore della morte, salva il suo corpo e la sua anima. George però è un animo inquieto, in perenne fuga, da se stesso in primis, dal suo paese, dalla guerra, da chi lo cerca e lo ama, dal destino, dalla vita più che dalla morte. La storia di George ed Elisa si intreccia con quella di Charlie, compagno di guerra di George che, con assoluta dedizione, nonostante la sregolatezza che lo contraddistingue, si consacra alla ricerca dell’amico “scomparso”. Una luna candida e immobile vigila sui protagonisti del romanzo, li guida, indica loro la strada da seguire, nonostante l’agire umano sia crudele e nefasto. Antonio Il Grande, giovanissimo autore, sorprende ed affascina con il suo esordio letterario, breve e intenso, passionale e cruento.
Taking a multidimensional approach, this book sheds light on the evolution of organizational studies in a structured and systematic way, against the background of economic and social changes in recent decades. By doing so, the book focuses on the plurality of organizing models as a central concept. This plurality is important to the survival of the firm in response to the growing complexity of the economic, social, and technological innovation that has arisen as a result of globalization. The book goes beyond the traditional approach to the study of organizations, of a structural and functionalistic type. It investigates the role of cultures and the ethical, symbolic, and value dimensions in the redefinition dynamics of strategic assets, as well as the search for new governance models in innovative organizations. Further, it discusses the role of leadership, in relation to the development of professional groups and the skills necessary for the management of endo-organizational, inter-organizational, and trade union negotiation processes. Finally, the book analyzes the economic, social, and cultural change in societies and discusses how companies and organizations of all types can develop cultures of innovation that may lead to socially inclusive governance. This book will appeal to students, researchers, and scholars of economics, business, and the social sciences, as well as professionals and practitioners interested in a better understanding of how organizations function in today’s globalized world.

This book addresses both the dissemination and increased understanding of the specificity of Irish literature in Italy during the first half of the twentieth century. This period was a crucial time of nation-building for both countries. Antonio Bibbò illustrates the various images of Ireland that circulated in Italy, focusing on political and cultural discourses and examines the laborious formation of an Irish literary canon in Italy. The center of this analysis relies on books and articles on Irish politics, culture, and literature produced in Italy, including pamplets, anthologies, literary histories, and propaganda; translations of texts by Irish writers; and archival material produced by writers, publishers, and cultural and political institutions. Bibbò argues that the construction of different and often conflicting ideas of Ireland in Italy as well as the wavering understanding of the distinctiveness of Irish culture, substantially affected the Italian responses to Irish writers and their presence within the Italian publishing field. This book contributes to the discussion on transnational aspects of canon formation, reception studies, and Italian cultural studies.
