Dove sta il limite

Dove sta il limite

Raja Shehadeh da giovane avvocato si era dato da fare per impedire il sequestro delle terre palestinesi e favorire la pace e la giustizia nella regione. È in quel periodo che stringe una forte amicizia con Henry, un ricercatore ebreo canadese. Ma quando la vita giorno dopo giorno diventa sempre piú insopportabile nei Territori, è impossibile sfuggire alla politica e al passato. E anche la piú forte delle amicizie, sul filo del confine israelo-palestinese, viene messa a dura prova. Shehadeh in questo libro, attraversando lo spazio (da Tel Aviv a Jaffa) e il tempo (dal 1959 al 2013), ci racconta l'evolversi della situazione dei palestinesi nei Territori occupati. Coraggioso, intelligente e decisamente controverso, Shehadeh esplora gli effetti devastanti dell'occupazione anche negli aspetti piú intimi della vita quotidiana. E si domanda se, coloro che oggi si considerano a vicenda i peggiori dei nemici, potranno mai riuscire a costruire un futuro comune insieme.

My Cyprus

My Cyprus

A sensory and poetic guide to the island of Cyprus. The island of Cyprus has been a site of global history and conquest, and its strategic position means it has been coveted by one foreign power after another. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, Genoese, Ottomans, and British have all left their mark. Along with the Roman and Byzantine ruins of Salamis, the island holds impressive monuments dating from the Frankish and Venetian times: the Abbey of Bellapais, the fortified harbor of Kyrenia, and the magnificent cathedrals of Nicosia and Famagusta, the setting for Shakespeare’s Othello.   Having lived in Cyprus for three years, Joachim Sartorius returns to the island’s cultures and legends and brings to life the colors and lights of the Levant area of the Middle East. He sifts through the sediments of the island’s history, including its division after the Turkish invasion of 1974 and the difficulties that followed. Rather than focusing solely on historical or political factors, this book is the work of a poet, who, with the help of both Greek and Turkish Cypriot friends, tries to understand this unique place.  

North & Mid Devon (Slow Travel)

North & Mid Devon (Slow Travel)

A brand new title, part of Bradt's award-winning series of Slow travel guides to UK regions, offering the most in-depth coverage available to North and Mid Devon, arguably the most beautiful and unspoilt countryside in southwest Britain. With area-by-area coverage, from around Clovelly and the Cornish border in the north to Mid Devon's Exe Valley and Tarka railway line, it is packed with suggestions for where to go and what to do, including plenty of outdoor activities such as horseriding, coasteering, walking and cycling. Interesting places to stay and eat are detailed, as are festivals, local customs and traditions, historical aspects, anecdotes, gardens, National Trust properties and where to go stargazing beneath the region's Dark Skies.North Devon has a unique blend of wild rugged coastline, deep river valleys, heather-covered moorland, family-friendly sandy beaches, great surfing and enchanting villages. While the car-free village of Clovelly provides a glimpse of Devon as it was 100 years ago, North Devon is also one of the country's leading centres for coasteering. Mid Devon is the least touristy part of the southwest - truly Slow Devon. The towns still hold weekly pannier markets and the pubs are full of locals discussing the price of sheep and Ruby Red cattle. People still walk, ride and cycle as part of their lives and visitors are always struck by the region's diversity: the wonderful views, the range of wildlife and the clarity of the night skies. Join veteran traveller, author and Devon resident Hilary Bradt, and her fellow long-term travellers and Devon residents Gill and Alistair Campbell, to discover in this unique guide exactly what it is that makes this beguiling region so special. From Lundy Island to the haunted village of Lapford, and from the extraordinary Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre to the War Horse Museum, Bradt's Slow Mid and North Devon has everything you need for a perfect trip.

Nord

Nord

Scott Jurek è uno dei più noti e amati ultramaratoneti di tutti i tempi. Nella sua carriera ha percorso gare al limite del possibile e vinto tutti gli eventi più importanti. Una volta compiuti quarant'anni, Scott affronta un periodo molto buio, e la tentazione di abbandonare la corsa comincia a farsi spazio. Si trova quindi di fronte a un bivio: smettere definitivamente oppure uscire da quel tunnel ritrovando la voglia di competizione, il propellente che fino ad allora lo aveva spinto oltre ogni traguardo. Motivato da un forte bisogno interiore, Scott sceglie di intraprendere la sfida definitiva: stabilire il record di velocità sul sentiero degli Appalachi marciando nella direzione più ardua, ovvero verso nord. 3.500 chilometri lungo la costa orientale degli Stati Uniti, tra dislivelli incredibili e sentieri impervi, paesaggi mozzafiato e condizioni climatiche imprevedibili. Un vero calvario di sforzo fisico, privazione del sonno, pressione psicologica. Ma Scott corre, cammina e incespica senza fermarsi, percorrendo 80 chilometri ogni giorno. Non avrebbe potuto immaginare il tributo fisico ed emotivo che questo viaggio gli avrebbe chiesto. Ma neppure la ricompensa: scoprire che la volontà può trascendere il dolore fisico e farti arrivare dove vuoi. Supportato dalla moglie Jenny e da un team di amici, aiutato dallo spettacolo rigenerante della natura incontaminata, metterà alla prova il suo carattere e ritroverà la pace perduta. Nord è una storia di perseveranza e trasformazione personale, ed è il ritratto di un uomo messo a nudo davanti al più grade degli ostacoli: se stesso.
