FONDO DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO: LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO/UMIDO. RARO. Una coinvolgente riflessione sul tempo e sulla storia. Nel contesto suggestivo e affascinante di un viaggio nella Spagna meno conosciuta, Handke mette mano a un breve e intenso saggio da tempo progettato: chiarire il significato che il juke-box, un oggetto oggi ormai introvabile, ha avuto nelle diverse fasi della sua esistenza. Con una andatura narrativa caratterizzata sul piano della scrittura, si delinea così un nuovo, convincente capitolo del «discorso sul metodo» iniziato con il Saggio sulla stanchezza. Tra i paesaggi intravisti viaggiando su una corriera e le note dei Rolling Stones, le differenze tra l'architettura dei Wurlitzer e quella dei Seeburg (i due grandi produttori di juke-box) e il fascino dei decrepiti bar all'aperto, la ricerca intorno al juke-box evoca associazioni letterarie e risonanze autobiografiche che si sedimentano in un testo che assume il significato di una coinvolgente riflessione sul tempo e sulla storia. In his "Essay on Tiredness," Handke transforms an everyday experience--often precipitated by boredom--into a fascinating exploration of the world of slow motion, differentiating degrees of fatigue, the types of weariness, its rejuvenating effects, as well as its erotic, cultural, and political implications. The title essay is Handke's attempt to understand the significance of the jukebox, a quest which leads him, while on a trip in Spain, into the literature of the jukebox, the history of the music box, and memories of the Beatles' music, in turn elucidating various stages of his own life. And in his "Essay on the Successful Day," for which there is no prescription, Handke invents a picture of tranquility, using a self-portrait by Hogarth as his point of departure to describe a state of being at peace. Playful, reflective, insightful, and entertaining, The Jukebox and Other Essays on Storytelling constitutes a literary triptych that redefines the art of the essay and challenges the form of the short story, confirming Peter Handke's stature as one of the most original and provocative of contemporary writers.

Nell'austera residenza di Lord Emsworth s'è perpetrato un orrendo misfatto che ha seminato scompiglio tra gli ospiti abituali dell'antico maniero. Una scarica di un fucile ad aria compressa si è abbattuta sulle natiche dell'odiato Rupert Baxter, l'ex-segretario di Lord Emsworth. Chi può aver osato tanto? Chi può aver ceduto in maniera tanto perversa al fascino sottile e irresistibile del Male? Con il racconto della pirotecnica e irresistibile caccia al colpevole del feroce crimine, si apre l'episodio forse più esilarante della saga di Blandings, nel quale Wodehouse ha convocato a uno a uno tutti i personaggi più famosi del ciclo, spingendoli nella mischia di una commedia. «L'ondata di crimini, che avrebbe scosso fino alle fondamenta una delle magioni più rispettabili dello Shropshire, si sollevò verso la metà di un bel pomeriggio d'estate...». Così prende il via l'episodio forse più esilarante della saga di Blanding. Uno dopo l'altro, in una catena di colpi di scena che lasciano senza fiato (per il troppo ridere), i personaggi che popolano il castello cedono al fascino sottile e irresistibile del Male. E il Male, come scopriamo ben presto, consiste nello sparare con un fucile ad aria compressa nelle natiche di Baxter, l'odiato ex segretario di Lord Emsworth, possibilmente senza farsi scoprire dall'inflessibile Lady Costance. Ma fino a poche pagine dalla fine non indovinereste mai chi cede alla diabolica tentazione...Nei racconti che seguono entra in scena, tra gli altri, l'irresistibile Ukridge, un personaggio degno di stare alla pari con il signore di Blandings. A collection of stories in which familiar characters and places are reintroduced in unfamiliar circumstances, reminding us - if we need reminding - of their author's limitless powers of comic invention. In the title story - one of Wodehouse's longest and best shorter fictions - Lord Emsworth takes his revenge on his ghastly secretary, the Efficient Baxter, setting off a wave of similar reprisals at Blandings Castle with amazing results. In other tales we meet several members of the Drones Club, while the final three reunite us with the ineffable Ukridge, more of whose ever-optimistic schemes for making easy money come to grief. A delightful meeting with old friends for some readers, a superb introduction to the world of Wodehouse for others.

Wodehouse, soprannominato "la pulce ammaestrata della letteratura inglese", fu un maestro riconosciuto della lingua inglese e di stile, con ammiratori che vanno dai contemporanei come Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh e Rudyard Kipling agli scrittori moderni come Salman Rushdie e Douglas Adams. Oggi ricordato soprattutto per i romanzi e i racconti di Jeeves e del Castello di Blandings, Wodehouse fu anche un autore di testi musicali, scrisse con Cole Porter il musical Anything Goes, collaborò spesso con Jerome Kern. Scrisse inoltre il testo della canzone "Bill" in Show Boat, che fu un grande successo.
DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. BUONE/OTTIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI, FIORITURE E SEGNI DEL TEMPO. RARISSIMO. IL VOLUME È STATO RAFFORZATO DA UN RILEGATORE E HA UNA NUOVA ANTIPORTA DI RINFORZO. Giovanni Girolamo Saccheri (Sanremo, 5 settembre 1667 – Milano, 25 ottobre 1733) è stato un gesuita, matematico, docente e accademico italiano. È considerato il padre, seppure inconsapevole, delle geometrie non euclidee. Gerolamo Saccheri, un gesuita professore all’università di Pavia, può essere considerato come un precursore di entrambe le geometrie non euclidee successivamente scoperte: la geometria ellittica e quella iperbolica. Saccheri, nella sua opera intitolata “Euclide emendato da ogni neo, ossia tentativo geometrico col quale si stabiliscono gli stessi primi principi di geometria universale”, prende le mosse dalla considerazione di una figura fondamentale, il quadrilatero birettangolo isoscele. Poi prende in esame tre ipotesi relative dei due angoli al vertice che sono entrambi retti, o acuti o ottusi. Saccheri cerca di confutare l’ipotesi dell’angolo acuto, dopo aver confutato quella dell'angolo ottuso. In questa ipotesi per un punto esterno alla retta data passano due rette asintotiche che dividono le rette del fascio in due classi; alla prima appartengono quelle rette del fascio che incontrano la retta data, alla seconda quelle che hanno con essa una perpendicolare comune. Le parallele asintotiche si avvicinano l’una all’altra nella direzione del parallelismo. Il ragionamento di Saccheri, finora assai rigoroso, slitta su un piano intuitivo e di puro convincimento psicologico quando trasferisce all’infinito concetti e considerazioni validi per enti posti a distanza finita, per dimostrare che l’ipotesi dell’angolo acuto è assolutamente falsa "perché ripugna alla natura della retta".
