    Challenging traditional historiographical approaches, this book offers a new history of Italian Jews in the early modern age. The fortunes of the Jewish communities of Italy in their various aspects - demographic, social, economic, cultural, and religious - can only be understood if these communities are integrated into the picture of a broader European, or better still, global system of Jewish communities and populations; and, that this history should be analyzed from within the dense web of relationships with the non-Jewish surroundings that enveloped the Italian communities. The book presents new approaches on such essential issues as ghettoization, antisemitism, the Inquisition, the history of conversion, and Jewish-Christian relations. It sheds light on the autonomous culture of the Jews in Italy, focusing on case studies of intellectual and cultural life using a micro-historical perspective. This book was first published in Italy in 2014 by one of the leading scholars on Italian Jewish history. This book will appeal to students and scholars alike studying and researching Jewish history, early modern Italy, early modern Jewish and Italian culture, and early modern society.

    Perhaps you are like me. A woman living in a confusing and chaotic time, bells and whistles all around. Distracting us. Beckoning us. Enveloped in noise. Nonsense. Perhaps you too, can daily toy with the knowing that you can drive through any of 23 local restaurants and pick up dinner. Push buttons on appliances for anything you need to get done around the house, let appliances do the hard and grimy work. Perhaps you, too, hold the knowing that we cannot heal ourselves. We cannot throw solutions for our distress into our cart and have them delivered in two days. But, we can follow paths to freedom. We can admit where our lives are fractured, desperate for repair, and begin to heal. We can begin to put down our excuses, our distractions, put on our brave, cry out for a new day where everything that has held us back can make us taller than we would have ever been without the struggle. ungekürzt.

    Set in the Midwest in the early 20th century - the dawn of the automobile age - The Magnificent Ambersons (perhaps best known for the Orson Welles film it inspired) begins by introducing the Ambersons, the richest family in town. Exemplifying aristocratic excess, the Ambersons have everything money can buy - and more. But George Amberson Minafer, the spoiled grandson of the family patriarch, is unable to see that great societal changes are taking place and that business tycoons, industrialists, and real-estate developers will soon surpass him in wealth and prestige. Rather than join the new mechanical age, George prefers to remain a gentleman, believing that "being things" is superior to "doing things". But as his town becomes a city, and the family palace is enveloped in a cloud of soot, George's protectors disappear one by one, and the elegant, cloistered lifestyle of the Ambersons fades from view and finally vanishes altogether. Winner of the 1919 Pulitzer Prize. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Berkrot. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/001728/bk_tant_001728_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
