br. Matteo Mancini, giunto al terzo capitolo della saga, prende per mano il lettore conducendolo per gli impervi sentieri del western all'italiana. Dal deserto di "Corri Uomo Corri" ai ghiacciai de "Il Grande Silenzio", fino all'estremo oriente de "Lo Straniero di Silenzio", sibili di palottole e scalpitio di zoccoli di cavalli lanciati al galoppo ad accompagnare la lettura, il tutto preceduto da un'approfondita disamina a cura di Jan Vabenicky in cui i paesi a est della Cortina di Ferro si aprono, a loro modo, al genere, producendo il loro western. È l'incontro tra due realtà, occidente e oriente, politica e cinema, capitalismo e socialismo, il tutto sotto il filtro offerto da un intrattenimento, più o meno strumentale, condito in salsa western da rileggere quale incontro di culture diverse.
br. Prosegue l'analisi dello spaghetti western con un volume interamente dedicato alla prolifica stagione del 1967. Sono oltre ottanta le pellicole proposte dall'autore, precedute da uno studio sulla critica e sullo sbarco negli Stati Uniti dei western girati tra il 1964 e il 1966. L'autore coglie inoltre l'occasione per anticipare gli effetti dello spaghetti-western sui western americani che porteranno all'affermazione di registi quali Sam Peckinpah e Monte Hellman, oltre al fenomeno del c.d. revisionismo western che ribalterà le relazioni cinematografiche tra cowboy/soldati e indiani.Il volume è corredato da un capitolo dedicato alle parodie western di Franco & Ciccio, e di un altro incentrato sulla figura della donna pistolero. A impreziosire l'opera contribuiscono infine la prefazione dell'esperto americano Tom Betts.
br. "Spaghetti Western" è un progetto strutturato in tre volumi che si propone di presentare il genere così come si è evoluto nel corso degli anni, dai proto-western fordiani di Germi ambientati in Italia, ai western pre-leoniani debitori dell'epopea americana, passando per Sergio Leone e via via con i tristi vendicatori del far west, i tortilla western, i western comici oltre a quelli bizzarrissimi dell'ultimo periodo che mischiavano al genere elementi antitetici presi in prestito da altri filoni come il cinema delle arti marziali o l'horror, fino ai tentativi finali degli anni '80 di rivitalizzare un cinema ormai morto.

brossura I film western ci fanno vedere le carovane con i carri, ma non ci dicono nulla dei carri stessi, della durata del viaggio, del cibo e della vita quotidiana dei pionieri. Ci parlano del Far West, senza dirci cosa esso fosse in realtà; ci fanno vedere sceriffi e saloon, senza che possiamo saperne la storia e come essi fossero per davvero; ci fanno vedere locomotive sbuffanti e battelli a vapore, ma non ci dicono nulla di essi; ci mostrano soldati a cavallo e i loro forti, ma non ci parlano della loro vita quotidiana. Vediamo gli Indiani, generalmente mostratici come cattivi, senza quasi mai dircene i motivi. Questo elenco potrebbe continuare a lungo: cowboys, tipi di case di indiani e pionieri, corse all'oro, bordelli, assegnazione della terra ai pionieri... Se qualcuno ha curiosità al riguardo, potrà trovare delle risposte, non pedanti, in questo libro.

Very Good English Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. [xvi], 296 p. The idea of universality of ethical norms in Ghazali & Kant. This book deals with the theory of ethics, as it is formulated by Ghazali and Immanuel Kant. Their theory of ethics is critically examined to delinate its similarities, differences and consequences. Kant's rational ethics, in essence, is only the consequence of having such an Analytical Method in the basic framework. The term 'rational' here is not intended at all to leave no room for religious ethics. It is rather intended to emphasize the active, dynamic and autonomous role of moral agents in attaining virtues. While Ghazali's mystical ethics is merely intended to save the individual in the hereafter based on the teaching of a particular religious teaching. He does not concern to build such a rigorous methodology in ethics which is applicaple to human beings in general. His concern is mainly to defend a particular religious ethics.
