New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 195 p. Stories and memories of Bodrum's Jewish community. Some may know Bodrum as a pleasant vacation spot in Southwestern Turkey. Few, however, would know this town as the home of a small but influential Jewish community that thrived until the mid-20th century. In this book, artist and researcher C. M. Kösemen uses historic sources and interviews to flesh out the first comprehensive overview of this little-known Sephardic community. Here you will find compelling stories and poignant memories; of ancient Jewish settlements in the remote corners of the Bodrum peninsula; of pleasant family relations between Turks and Jews; of wartime hardships and near-escapes; of people like Janet Akyüz Mattei, who went on to become one of the world s greatest astrophysicists; of Abraham Galante the historian; and more Illustrated with detailed black-and-white photographs and annotated with footnotes that explain local nuances, this book also contains a touristic itinerary of Judaic sites in the vicinity of Bodrum.

br. Le presidenze di John Fitzgerald Kennedy e di Abraham Lincoln sono ricordate per i grandi cambiamenti storici che esse introdussero nella società americana. Ma è davvero possibile considerare questi leader come rivoluzionari sovvertitori della tradizione degli Stati Uniti? L'analisi concreta della politica dei due grandi presidenti rivela aspetti sorprendenti e per certi versi mai indagati, che permettono di stabilire fino a che punto il mito che accompagna le loro figure sia davvero giustificato dalla concreta politica che essi seguirono. Il testo concilia profonda scorrevolezza e facilità di lettura con precisione storica e attenzione alle figure che accompagnarono la vita prematuramente interrotta di Lincoln e Kennedy, due protagonisti uniti da un filo che, attraverso un secolo di storia, segna il coraggio delle loro azioni e la drammaticità della loro fine, proiettandone il carisma fino ai nostri tempi. La storia può talvolta essere ripercorsa con le forme di un racconto senza rinunciare a conclusioni documentate, serie e innovative.

1st edition. Paper Wrappers (later?), 8vo, 43 pages. Sabin 21532. Dwight here charges that The Jeffersonian party, giving itself "the title of Republican...in more correct, and definite phraseology, is called Jacobinical." The Federalists "prudently, and justly yielded" to the late presidential election, which marked their defeat. Despite the partisan rhetoric, Dwight provides a detailed perspective on the state of political parties and issues at the turn of the century. "Theodore Dwight (1764 Northampton, Mass 1846 New York City) was an American lawyer and journalist. He was the brother of Timothy Dwight, president of Yale College, and the grandson of Jonathan Edwards. He was a distinguished lawyer, a leader of the Federalist Party, and a member of Congress in 18061807, and was secretary of the Hartford Convention in 18141815. His talent as a writer made him a brilliant editor at the Hartford Mirror, the Albany Daily Advertiser, and the New York City Daily Advertiser, which he founded in 1817. Among his publications are Life and Character of Thomas Jefferson (1839) and History of the Hartford Convention (1833). He was a cousin of Aaron Burr....He was a member of the [Conn.] State council 18091815; elected as a Federalist to the Ninth Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John Cotton Smith and served from December 1, 1806, to March 3, 1807; declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1806; secretary of the Hartford Convention in 18141815; moved to Albany, New York in 1815 and published the Albany Daily Advertiser 18151817....he died on June 12, 1846....In 1839, Dwight published The Character of Thomas Jefferson as Exhibited in His Own Writings, which Abraham Lincoln's law partner and biographer, William Herndon, claimed made Lincoln 'hate [Jefferson] as a man' for his duplicitous character and affair with Sally Hemings" (Wikipedia).

Da sempre considerato il più grande presidente della storia degli Stati Uniti e mitizzato come ‘emancipatore’ degli schiavi, Lincoln è una figura storica affascinante, ma spesso sfuggente, dal carattere inquieto e tormentato, che si può capire pienamente solo inserendolo nel suo contesto storico. Nato e cresciuto agli inizi dell’Ottocento in una famiglia povera di pionieri, Lincoln sembrò incarnare il mito americano del self-made man, riuscendo a diventare un avvocato di grido nell’Illinois in un momento in cui la nazione statunitense diventava sempre più ricca e potente ed allo stesso tempo sempre più lacerata dai contrasti scaturiti dall’industrializzazione incipiente nel Nord e dall’espansione della schiavitù nel Sud. Successivamente, Lincoln scalò i gradini del potere politico fino a diventare Presidente, mentre la grande lotta tra la libertà e la schiavitù divenne il punto centrale della vita politica, sociale ed economica degli Stati Uniti e provocò infine la Guerra Civile (1861-1865), che costituì il momento centrale del processo di formazione della nazione statunitense. A questo processo, Lincoln diede un contributo fondamentale e indelebile, riunificando il paese al prezzo di centinaia di migliaia di morti e mantenendo in vita gli ideali della repubblica democratica americana, creando, quindi, le basi della futura egemonia statunitense nel mondo contemporaneo. Non solo, con la sua legislazione a favore dell’emancipazione, Lincoln diede un contributo decisivo anche alla creazione di un mondo nel quale la libertà è ora riconosciuta come un diritto fondamentale e la schiavitù è considerata illegale.
