A General Theory of Interlingual Mediation

By: Sergio Viaggio

The author has more than 30 years experience in literary and pragmatic translation and in conference interpreting. His is the most ambitious attempt at unifying every aspect of translational and other connected activities under one overarching general theory. A most specific theory, at that, that conceptualises and explains what translators and interpreters actually do in real life and, at the same time, offers objective quality criteria. The book has many practical examples, from public announcements and owner's manuals for videocameras to poems by Pushkin and Shakespeare. Sergio Viaggio, born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1945. MA in Russian Language and Literature, Moscow's Peoples' Friendship University, 1971. UN translator in 1974, interpreter in 1975, and, between 1991 and 2005 Chief Interpreter with the UN Office at Vienna. He has widely lectured and written on the practice and theory of translation and interpretation.

I MIEI TRE UOMINI 2

By: Sergio Bossi

Quando iniziai a scrivere il libro "I miei tre uomini" lo feci con entusiasmo e spensieratezza, divertendomi, con l'intenzione di aggiornare un diario di bordo famigliare che un giorno avrei lasciato ai miei figli, mai e poi mai però avrei pensato di riuscire a scrivere un secondo libro...

Moshe's Children

The Orphans of the Holocaust and the Birth of Israel

By: Sergio Luzzatto

Moshe's Children presents the inspiring story of Moshe Zeiri, a Jewish carpenter responsible for rescuing hundreds of Jewish refugee children who had survived the Final Solution. During the liberation of Italy, Zeiri, a volunteer in the British Army in Italy, assumed responsibility for and vowed to help around seven hundred Polish, Hungarian, Russian, and Romanian children. Although these orphans of the Shoah had been deprived of a family, a home, and a language and were irreparably robbed of their past, they were able to rebuild their lives through Zeiri's efforts as he founded the largest Jewish orphanage in postwar Europe in Selvino, Italy, where he began to rehabilitate the orphans and to teach them how to become citizens of the new nation of Israel. Moshe's Children also explores Zeiri's own story from birth in a shtetl to his upbringing and Zionist education, his journey to the Land of Israel, and his work there before the war. With narrative verve and scholarly acumen, Sergio Luzzatto brilliantly tells the gripping stories of these orphans of the Holocaust and the good man who helped point them to a real future.

Psychology in Black and White

The Project of a Theory-Driven Science

By: Sergio Salvatore

This book is long awaited within the contemporarily creative field of cultural psychologies. It is a theoretical synthesis that is at the level of innovations that Sigmund Freud, James Mark Baldwin, William Stern, Kurt Lewin, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky and Jan Smedslund have brought into psychology over the past century. Here we can observe a creative solution to integrating cultural psychology with the rich traditions of psychodynamic perspectives, without repeating the conceptual impasses in which many psychoanalytic perspectives have become caught.

Primo Levi's Resistance

Rebels and Collaborators in Occupied Italy

By: Sergio Luzzatto

A daring investigation of Primo Levi's brief career as a fighter with the Italian Resistance, and the grim secret that haunted his life No other Auschwitz survivor has been as literarily powerful and historically influential as Primo Levi. Yet Levi was not only a victim or a witness. In the fall of 1943, at the very start of the Italian Resistance, he was a fighter, participating in the first attempts to launch guerrilla warfare against occupying Nazi forces. Those three months have been largely overlooked by Levi's biographers; indeed, they went strikingly unmentioned by Levi himself. For the rest of his life he barely acknowledged that autumn in the Alps. But an obscure passage in Levi's The Periodic Table hints that his deportation to Auschwitz was linked directly to an incident from that time: "an ugly secret" that had made him give up the struggle, "extinguishing all will to resist, indeed to live." What did Levi mean by those dramatic lines? Using extensive archival research, Sergio Luzzatto's groundbreaking Primo Levi's Resistance reconstructs the events of 1943 in vivid detail. Just days before Levi was captured, Luzzatto shows, his group summarily executed two teenagers who had sought to join the partisans, deciding the boys were reckless and couldn't be trusted. The brutal episode has been shrouded in silence, but its repercussions would shape Levi's life. Combining investigative flair with profound empathy, Primo Levi's Resistance offers startling insight into the origins of the moral complexity that runs through the work of Primo Levi himself.

Padre Pio

Miracles and Politics in a Secular Age

By: Sergio Luzzatto

The first historical appraisal of the astonishing life and times of a controversial twentieth-century saint Padre Pio is one of the world's most beloved holy figures, more popular in Italy than the Virgin Mary and even Jesus. His tomb is the most visited Catholic shrine anywhere, drawing more devotees than Lourdes. His miraculous feats included the ability to fly and to be present in two places at once; an apparition of Padre Pio in midair prevented Allied warplanes from dropping bombs on his hometown. Most notable of all were his stigmata, which provoke heated controversy to this day. Were they truly God-given? A psychosomatic response to extreme devotion? Or, perhaps, the self-inflicted wounds of a charlatan? Now acclaimed historian Sergio Luzzatto offers a pioneering investigation of this remarkable man and his followers. Neither a worshipful hagiography nor a sensationalist exposé, Padre Pio is a nuanced examination of the persistence of mysticism in contemporary society and a striking analysis of the links between Catholicism and twentieth-century politics. Granted unprecedented access to the Vatican archives, Luzzatto has also unearthed a letter from Padre Pio himself in which the monk asks for a secret delivery of carbolic acid—a discovery which helps explain why two successive popes regarded Padre Pio as a fraud, until pressure from Pio-worshipping pilgrims forced the Vatican to change its views. A profoundly original tale of wounds and wonder, salvation and swindle, Padre Pio explores what it really means to be a saint in our time.

Lodi. Monografia storico-artistica. 1877. Nuova edizione

By: Sergio Fumich

Nel 1877, il tipografo editore dott. Francesco Vallardi di Milano pubblicò questa Monografia Storico-artistica contenente documenti inediti allora e realizzata con il concorso di "parecchi cultori di storia patria" e del Municipio di Lodi. Lo scopo del libro, come sottolineavano al lettore nella premessa il dott. Felice De Angeli ed il prof. Andrea Timolati, era quello di colmare una lacuna, la mancanza di una monografia che compiutamente raccogliesse "tutte le più importanti notizie geografiche, storiche, letterarie ed artistiche di questa nobilissima fra le terre italiane".

Un libro scritto in forma di pensieri, cento, i quali sembrano condurre chi legge a porsi "in colloquio con se stesso" nell'intento di renderlo libero (soprattutto) di sbagliare ma (quasi) obbligato a pensare.

Sergio Corazzini Tutte le poesie

By: Sergio Corazzini Edizioni Matelda

Sergio Corazzini (Roma, 6 febbraio 1886 - Roma, 17 giugno 1907) è stato un poeta italiano appartenente al crepuscolarismo romano del primo decennio del Novecento.La sua poesia è focalizzata su "piccole cose", dietro le quali non emergono valori segreti, ma si nasconde il vuoto, tipico dei poeti crepuscolari tra i quali Corazzini fu annoverato. I suoi versi esprimono da un lato un malinconico desiderio per quella vita che la malattia gli negava, dall'altro un nostalgico ritrarsi dall'esistenza presente, proprio perché avara di prospettive future.In Desolazione del povero poeta sentimentale si esprime tutta la poetica di Corazzini dove il "piccolo fanciullo che piange" proclama l'impossibilità di essere chiamato "poeta", affermando così, per la prima volta, la concezione della poetica crepuscolare.
