ill., br. "What happened, Miss Simone?" è la storia di una bambina nera del Sud che inseguì un talento prodigioso e divenne Nina Simone; di Nina Simone imprevedibile e tormentata, che attraversò il proprio tempo e divenne la Sacerdotessa del soul; del soul che rincorse le sue dita sul piano, tra le fughe di Bach e il cuore del blues; è la vita e la leggenda di una donna che marciò con Luther King e MalcolmX, che cantò orgoglio e segregazione, che fece piangere e ballare. È la storia di una voce profonda e oscura, di una voce brutale e sincera che parlava d'amore e scagliava accuse, di una donna incapace di chiedere scusa, del suo disturbo mentale, di occhi severi e solitudine; della meraviglia di "Sinnerman", della rabbia di "Mississippi Goddam". Alan Light scrive la biografia più completa dedicata a Nina Simone: dall'esordio a dieci anni - in cui si rifiutò di suonare finché i suoi genitori non poterono sedersi con i bianchi - ai trionfi della Carnegie Hall, dal sogno di diventare una grande pianista classica alla consacrazione pop con il successo planetario di "My Baby Just Cares for Me". Nato come arricchimento dell'omonimo documentario candidato all'Oscar, con documenti nuovi e inediti, "What happened, Miss Simone?" insegue, tra le cadute e i trionfi, il fantasma di una regina del jazz che visse con la stessa ruvida autenticità il suo tempo, la sua razza e il suo sesso, amò molti uomini, fu picchiata dal marito e oppresse sua figlia.

cm. 17 x 24, lxiv-194 pp. Biblioteca di ?Nuncius? In questo volume ? presentata l?edizione critica, con introduzione dottrinale, delle ?Quaestiones de tempore? di Guglielmo di Alnwick, discepolo di Duns Scoto. Interessante ? il fatto che Alnwick, fra il 1313 e il 1320, stese tre successive versioni delle ?questioni?, che mostrano l?evoluzione del pensiero di Alnwick, e testimoniano il dibattito sul tempo che occup? i primi scotisti. Il volume rappresenta un importante contributo per lo studio del pensiero medievale. This volume presents a critical edition, with a doctrinal introduction, of the ?Quaestiones de tempore? delivered by William of Alnwick, disciple of Duns Scotus. It is interesting to note that between 1314 and 1320, Alnwick wrote three successive versions of the ?questions?, which reveal the evolution of his theory, and bear witness to the debate on this topic which occupied the early Scotists. The volume represents an important contribution to studies of medieval thought. Inglese 478 gr. lxiv-194 p.
