ill., br. A Hiroshima i volti che si disfanno, la sete dei ciechi. Denti bianchi sporgenti in un volto sparito. Vie bordate di cadaveri. Su una bicicletta un morto. Stagni colmi di morti. Un medico con quaranta ferite. «Siete vivo? Siete vivo?». Quante volte deve udirlo. Visita illustre: l'Eccellenza. In suo onore, egli si alza a sedere nel letto e pensa, va meglio. Di notte come unica luce i fuochi della città, cadaveri che bruciano. Odore come di sardine che bruciano. Quando accadde, la prima cosa che d'improvviso notò su di sé: era completamente nudo. Il silenzio, tutte le figure si muovono senza rumore, come in un film muto. Le visite ai malati nell'ospedale: primi resoconti di ciò che è stato l'annientamento di Hiroshima. La città dei quarantasette ronin è stata scelta per questo? Il diario del medico Michihiko Hachiya comprende 56 giorni a Hiroshima, dal 6 agosto, il giorno della bomba atomica, al 30 settembre 1945. È scritto come un'opera della letteratura giapponese: precisione, delicatezza e responsabilità sono i suoi tratti essenziali. Un medico moderno, che è tanto giapponese da credere irremovibilmente nell'imperatore, anche quando questi annuncia la capitolazione.

SUGAR 1966 294 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: SEGNI DEL TEMPO ALLA COPERTINA, VOLUME INTONSO, MAI SFOGLIATO. SEBBENE NON INTEGRA, ANCORA PRESENTE LA FASCETTA PUBBLICITARIA EDITORIALE CHIUSA, COME DA FOTO Il bombardamento di Londra visto da Virginia Woolf, le prime bombe atomiche su Nagasaki e Hiroshima, le ultime parole di Stefan Zweig prima del suicidio, una lettera di Simone Weil a Maurice Schumann, l'8 settembre descritto da Giaime Pmtor, i rischiosissimi e avventurosi voli dl Samt-Exupéry in Africa, la "scoPerta" dei campi di sterminio da parte dei generali americani in Germania i diari di Kaj Munk e Julius Fucik assassinati dai nazisti, gli ultimi appunti musicali di Anton Webern ucciso "per sbaglio" nel 1945. Oltre a queste celebri testimonianze, altre raccolte in questo volume portano firme poco conosciute o sono addirittura anonime testimonianze individuali di combattenti e di borghesi, di intellettuali e di proletari ben diverse le une dalle altre, anche perché provengono da differenti paesi. Si fondono tuttavia insieme per ricostruire davanti ai nostri occhi, in una cronaca appassionata e intima, disperata e generosa, gli avvenimenti che vanno dal 1939 al 1945. Questi documenti fanno parte della storia e ci aiutano a capirla e a ricordarla, ad analizzarla e a esorcizzarla. Proprio su questa memoria della tragedia e su questo rifiuto dell atrocità è basata l'unica possibilità di pace.

ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !!

Two copies of Politics. Age-toned pages. Each issue is around 30 pages and one has pencil notes and markings. "Politics, stylized as politics, was a journal founded and edited by Dwight Macdonald from 1944 to 1949. Macdonald had previously been editor at Partisan Review from 1937 to 1943, but after falling out with its publishers, quit to start politics as a rival publication, first on a monthly basis and then as a quarterly. politics published essays on politics and culture and included among its contributors James Agee, John Berryman, Bruno Bettelheim, Paul Goodman, C. Wright Mills, Mary McCarthy, Marianne Moore, Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, and Hannah Arendt. The journal reflected Macdonald's interest in European culture. He used politics to introduce US readers to the thinking of the French philosopher Simone Weil, publishing several articles by her, including "A Poem of Force", her reflections on the Iliad. He also printed work by Albert Camus. Another European, the Italian political and literary critic Nicola Chiaromonte, was also given space in the journal."
