Paramount, Usa, 1937. Fotobusta, colore, cm 49,5 x 70. Strappi marginali. Tra il 1840 e il 1865, la Wells Fargo divenne la prima ditta di diligenze a collegare la costa statunitense occidentale a quella orientale. Non tutto andò per il verso giusto, e Ramsay MacKay (Joel McCrea), ideatore dell'impresa, dovette risolvere più di un problema.Il film racconta la saga della Wells Fargo, la ditta di trasporti con diligenze che per prima stabilì un collegamento fra la costa atlantica e il Pacifico. L'azione copre circa trent'anni, dalla febbre dell'oro in California fino alla chiusura della frontiera del West. Western di stampo classico e dal taglio introspettivo che si prefigge di riflettere sulla conquista territoriale come sfida personale. Girato con dovizia di dettagli e una notevole ricostruzione storica, "Un mondo che sorge" non riesce a staccarsi da una certa esaltazione nazionalista che lo rende un inno al patriottismo americano. Il regista lavora su stereotipi e poco sulla personalità dei suoi personaggi, che risultano privi di sfumature e omologati gli uni agli altri. Film ottimo dal punto di vista produttivo ma carente sul piano dei contenuti.

8vo., First Edition, with 41 plates on 16 and 23 maps and diagrams (a number full-page) in the text; black cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, a very good, clean copy in price-clipped dustwrapper. Lucas has very skilfully set personal experiences by participants against a detailed and closely-reasoned account of the great engagement, its immediate forerunners and the outcome. A fascinating read, a worthy tribute to those involved, and a clear explication of the issues involved. This is an approach that would be well deserved by a host of other actions throughout WWII.

La ricostruzione dei mutamenti nell?etica di Kant - in particolare quanto alla realt? del sommo bene e all?esistenza di Dio - e l?excursus sulla nascita del concetto di eudemonismo forniscono un contributo originale alla Kantforschung.

The story of the changes in Kant?s ethic ? particularly about the reality of the highest good and God?s existence ? and the excursus on the birth of the concept of eudemonism give an original contribution to Kantforschung. 312 gr. xiv-142 p.
