Elli fu uno santo padre, el quale essendo ben pratico delle cose del mondo, e avendo sguardato che in esso non si poteva vivare per niuno modo contra chi voleva detrarre, elli disse a uno suo monachetto: "Figliuolo, viene con meco e tolle el nostro asinello." El monachetto, ubidiente, tolse l'asino. E mòntavi su, e 'l fanciulletto andava dietro al santo padre a piei; e passando fra la gente, elli era in uno luogo molto fango. Uno parla e dice: "Doh! guarda colui quanta crudeltà ha a quello monacuccio, che è a piei, e lassalo andare fra tanto fango; e elli va a cavallo!"

Molte volte, quando ho detto a qualcuno: ¿La guerra va sparendo dalla civiltà moderna: non si tratta che di accelerare, rendendola cosciente, una trasformazione che si fa da sè¿, mi sono sentito rispondere: ¿Son sogni che rinascono sempre, alla vigilia delle grandi guerre. Invece noi siamo forse alla vigilia di una spaventevole guerra universale che trasformerà l¿Europa in un immenso accampamento. L¿uomo nasce feroce, nasce lupo: come farete voi a trasformare questa natura in quella dell¿agnello? Sinchè ci saranno uomini sulla terra, ci saranno risse. I popoli non sono che uomini in massa e le guerre sono soltanto le risse dei popoli.¿

Accadde una notte che il governatore spagnuolo...

L'anno scorso, nel mio compleanno, scrivevo dei pensieri che erano l'espressione dell'anima mia, e li dedicavo a mia sorella: quest'anno ancora voglio scrivere dei pensieri e li dedico al deserto. Deserto: ecco l'espressione dell'anima mia! Che cosa scrivo?¿ Si possono tradurre a parola le convulsioni dell'anima, le contorsioni di mano, gli stringigola, i groppi, le memorie fallite e le speranze fallite? Posso scrivere lo stato dell'anima mia?¿ Eppure voglio sfogarmi: voglio lasciare un foglietto che attesti questo tristissimo compleanno. Lo leggerò io? quando? come? Lo leggeranno gli altri?

Ugo Foscolo, sia per la spiccata individualità del carattere, sia per l'originalità degli scritti e dello spirito che li informa, è nome che suona caro alle orecchie degli Italiani. Questo mi affida che la ripubblicazione di due fra' suoi lavori più pregevoli non sarà riputata soverchia, e che la vita e le note scritte senza pretensione alcuna, potranno trovare, se non grazia e favore, facile venia almeno. La vita del Foscolo, scritta pel primo da Giuseppe Pecchio, benchè attraente per lo stile brillante ed arguto, però sconveniente al soggetto, è in più punti manchevole; non sempre veridica, e maligna talvolta.

A heartfelt graphic memoir of love, family and fearless womenLives were bent in the furnaces of the twentieth century, but Granny was unbroken. With a stethoscope, a jar of herring and a hearing aid occasionally switched on, she forged an extraordinary life. Elena Zadik ran through the twentieth century without looking back.A refugee twice before she was 17, training in medicine in Sheffield during World War 2, she was as brilliant a doctor as she was terrible a driver (she never took a test).

Her parents die in Auschwitz, she spends decades fighting for restitution, and then shares the money she finally receives among her nine grandchildren.Miriam, her eldest granddaughter, tells her story reflecting on their unconventional relationship and how trauma travels down through the generations.

Her hands (minus her left index finger which she slammed in garage doors) were always busy and form the heart of this timely graphic story of the ordinary extraordinary resilience of women.

Catharine Pickering, a curator's assistant, finds herself increasingly drawn to Nature's treasures, especially birds, and more and more opposed to the "kill-and-collect" methods of hunters.
