Guida alla Berlino ribelle

Travel & Adventure

Fin dagli anni '20 del secolo scorso Berlino si è guadagnata la fama di città ribelle e trasgressiva. Dai caffè e cabaret della Repubblica di Weimar alle provocazioni dei dadaisti, dagli squatter degli anni '80-'90 alla scena della musica elettronica, la capitale tedesca ha saputo offrire un terreno fertile a ogni forma di capriccio e controcultura. Neanche il regime nazista e il Muro sono riusciti a sopire lo spirito anarchico della città, che ha dato prova del suo carattere sovversivo anche prima del '900. A Berlino personalità del calibro di Bertolt Brecht, Karl Marx, Albert Einstein, Edvard Munch, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, David Bowie e tanti altri hanno trovato il clima ideale per esprimere il loro genio indomabile.

Nuove isole

Travel & Adventure

Esiste una Roma che non compare in nessuna guida turistica, una città nella città fatta di inattesi frammenti di magia. Una Roma in cui la parola d'ordine è girovagare, dalla primavera all'inverno, sotto la pioggia e sotto il sole, con il naso all'insú o gli occhi ben piantati, in attesa di quelle scoperte che fermano il tempo e ripuliscono lo sguardo: il capolavoro meno visibile della storia dell'arte, una piazza affollata di poeti come un ascensore, l'elefantino del Bernini «con un obelisco sul groppone», il pavone che passeggia sulla Garbatella... Nove anni dopo Isole, Marco Lodoli torna a vagabondare nella capitale per recuperare tutto ciò che non aveva trovato posto nella sua prima «guida». Un libro che è un invito a «scantonare» dalla vita di tutti i giorni, per imparare a riconoscere la bellezza e godersela, fino in fondo.

Walk & Eat North Cyprus

Travel & Adventure

A delightful walking and eating guide to the Turkish-influenced region of northern Cyprus, illustrated with scores of photographs, ideal for short-break holidays. 11 walks and 4 excursions are described, as are restaurants/hotels en route (with sample menus). There are walking maps, photographs of restaurant exteriors and interiors and some of each restaurant’s recommended dishes. Following each restaurant entry is one or more of their recipes, (all tested and known to ‘work’) to be made in self-catering accommodation or at home. Sunflower’s unique online Update service with route-change information, users’ observations and any future changes to restaurant information and recommendations, is available free of charge to purchasers of the book. After the division of the island by military intervention in 1974, the Turkish population was confined to the north and the Greeks to the south. These two communities are divided by the United Nations controlled Green Line. This military intervention led to the international isolation of the northern sector, now called the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. The high tensions of the early years have subsided, and more recent history is punctuated with talks to find a way to bring unity to this beautiful island. Peace has settled over the whole island, and both the Turkish north and the Greek south are safe and rewarding holiday destinations. Turks born and bred on Cyprus regard themselves as Turkish Cypriots, and one of the joys of holidaying in North Cyprus is enjoyment of their traditional Turkish welcome and hospitality.

Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark

Travel & Adventure

In June 1795, Mary Wollstonecraft embarked on a three-month trip around Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, on undisclosed business at the request of her lover Gilbert Imlay. During the course of this voyage she wrote twenty-five letters to him, which were compiled the following year at the behest of her publisher into this volume. As a travelogue, the letters of course contain descriptions of the natural beauty of the places she visited and the habits and interests of the people she met; but what is more apparent is Mary’s growing realization that this journey she has undertaken for Imlay ultimately won’t heal their relationship.Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark was the last work of Mary Wollstonecraft’s published during her lifetime; she died two years later, shortly after the birth of her second child, Mary Shelley. It follows the themes of her earlier works: a belief in reason’s ability to elevate people, the injustice of society’s oppression of women, and a spreading idea that commercialism does more to deprave than to enlighten humankind.
