Abstract: Roland Hill's biography, A Time Out of Joint, is a remarkable and moving personal story and much more: it enables readers to re-live European history during the darkest period of Nazi Germany and World War II, when traditional European culture and civilization generally seemed to be extinguished, but also to experience the return of peace and a time of hope. Roland Hill was born in Hamburg in 1920 to prosperity and culture -- his father was a sugar trader and his mother an opera singer. Both were of Jewish descent but had converted to Christianity. But the stable and tolerant world he was born into changed dramatically with Hitler's rise to power in 1933. The family moved to Prague, Vienna and Milan. Austria became Hill's spiritual home where he was received into the Roman Catholic church -- a move which decisively shaped his life - and where he started his journalistic career. Nazi persecution scattered the family and he sought refuge in Britain, totally alone and with only a £5 note, classed simply as a ""Refugee from Nazi Persecution"". Roland Hill survived the European maelstrom to take a full part in Europe's resurgence and his moving story, full of drama and atmosphere - and based on a unique gift for friendship -- vividly evokes the highs and lows of his remarkable life.

#302566 Ebraica
Traduzione di Gaio Sciloni. Torino, Einaudi 2002, cm.14x21, pp.322, brossura copertina figurata a colori. Coll. Einaudi Tascabili-Letteratura,1025. Il mondo di "Post mortem" è quello degli ebrei di Tel Aviv, e in particolare quello degli immigrati in fuga dalla Germania fra gli anni Venti e Quaranta del Novecento. Kaniuk, ripercorrendo gli eventi tragici e insieme quotidiani che smembrarono la sua famiglia fino a farla sparire, si tiene lontano da ogni ripiegamento sentimentale. La scomparsa di una così fitta ragnatela di parentele diventa occasione per dissezionare anche il mito della grande famiglia patriarcale della tradizione ebraica e farne il bersaglio della sua pungente scrittura.

#328026 Storia Medioevo
Liege, 20 fevrier 1998. A cura di Juliette Dor. Louvain la Neuve, Universite Catholique de Louvain 2000, cm.17x24, pp.125, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. Publications de L'institut d'Etudes Médiévales,20. Les auteurs entrainent le lecteur dans le temps, l'espace et meme le monde de l'heraldique et completent a merveille le panorama en traitant du Moyen Age anglais, francais, latin et neerlandais, mais aussi de la facon d'enseigner la litterature medievale. Brillant chercheur et enseignant, president de diverses societes savantes et fondateur d'une des grandes maisons d'edition anglo-saxonnes, Derek Brewer a ete, en 1998, titulaire d'une ? Chaire interuniversitaire au titre etranger ? de la Fondation Francqui. Le point d'orgue du sejour belge de l'eminent professeur de Cambridge devait etre marque par l'organisation de la rencontre d'une ? Classe d'excellence ? , c'est-a-dire le rassemblement de medievistes belges. L'occasion etait belle de renouer les contacts entre les membres de la section belge de la Societe arthurienne et d'encourager la relance des activites nationales. Drainant un bel ensemble de specialistes chevronnes et de jeunes chercheurs, la journee connut effectivement un franc succes. Comme en temoigne ce volume d'Actes, la mise en commun des ressources a revele une etonnante richesse, qu'il s'agisse de l'eventail des secteurs couverts ou encore des approches retenues par les participants. Les quatre invites etrangers, Derek et Elisabeth BREWER ainsi que Donald et Sara MADDOX (tous deux de l'Universite du Massachusetts a Amherst), entrainent le lecteur dans le temps, l'espace et meme le momnde de l'heraldique. Les auteurs belges completent a merveille le panorama en traitant du Moyen Age anglais, francais, latin et neerlandais, mais aussi de la facon d'enseigner la litterature medievale.
