Storia di lunga durata. Storie di uomini, e di donne, molto diversi tra loro. Storie di banditi, come venivano chiamati tra il Ciquecento e il Settecento quelli che erano colpiti dal bando, cioè un decreto di espulsione dalla comunità di cui facevano parte, briganti come nell'Ottocento i francesi definivano tutti quelli che s'opponevano alla loro dominazione. Bandito e brigante non sono prodotti solo del Mezzogiorno che in tempi diversi li troviamo in Calabria, Basilicata, Campania, Puglia, Sicilia, Abruzzo, Molise, Lazio, Veneto, monte, Toscana, Emilia-Romagna. Una lunga scia di sangue fatta di atrocità, corpi squartati, teste mozzate esposte ovunque. Crudeltà da tutte le parti. Repressione cieca, crudele, selvaggia pensa di risolvere problemi, che sono sociali e politici, facendo ricorso alle armi, al carcere, alle fucilazioni indiscriminate. Dalla Repubblica di Venezia allo Stato Pontificio, dal Regno di Napoli al neonato Regno d'Italia tutti i regnanti si comportano allo stesso modo. L'altra faccia della repressione è la scelta degli Stati di venire a patti, scendere a compromessi, di fare accordi con i malviventi. briganti c'è un'enorme letteratura. Mancava un libro che contasse il filo che lega e che separa banditi e briganti, che mostrasse le diverse componenti - politica, religiosa, sociale, culturale -, che demistificasse falsi miti come quello che i mafiosi sarebbero i figli naturali o gli eredi legittimi dei briganti.

Cassie Chadwick ( one of Betsy Bigley's several names) was a woman of many talents, and she used them all in an extraordinary career. She was entrepreneur, forger, clairvoyant, prostitute and society lady. The railroad worker's daughter from Eastwood, Ontario was born on a farm in 1857 and died in jail in 1907, and in between became one of the most famous women of North America. She achieved her greatest social glory as the wife of a wealthy Cleveland doctor. Her fantastic lifestyle was financed by an ever widening spiral of loans, promisory notes and forgeries drawn on banks from New York city to Oberlin, Ohio and when her financial empire collapsed the shock waves reverberated through the banking world. Some of the greatest financiers in America found themselves mentioned at Mrs. Chadwick's trial.... 240p.plates.Neat crisp copy, but a small squsre cut out from ffep, else fine Book
