A moving blend of words and images, An Italian American Odyssey tells the story of the journey to America across seven generations of one Italian-American family. Drawing on a remarkable collection of raw material—fragments of family letters, stories, diaries, and other writings, as well as photographs, collages, and assemblages of such humble objects as a pasta cutter, mismatched kitchen chairs, and faded biancheria, or dowry linens—B. Amore fashions a new encounter with American history, as a story retold and reimagined. Lavishly illustrated in full color, this visual memoir is based on Amore’s multimedia exhibition Lifeline: filo della vita, which traveled with great acclaim from the Ellis Island Museum to Boston, Rome, and Naples. Woven throughout are numerous interviews—in both English and Italian, as are many other documents—and historic photographs from the Ellis Island archives. Also included are original essays by Pellegrino D’Acierno, Fred Gardaph?, Jennifer Guglielmo, Edvige Giunta, Flavia Rando, Joseph Sciorra, and Robert Viscusi—who take Amore’s art as a starting point for illuminating explorations of the immigrant experience—from the aesthetics of cultural memory and the persistence of ethnic identity to issues of gender, race, and generational change in Italian-American history and life. The book includes an Italian translation of the full text. The book’s colorful, highly charged assemblages link two worlds, many generations, and one family’s journey to pasts shared by so many millions of others. In its powerful words and images, the children and grandchildren of America’s immigrants can enter B. Amore’s world—and in the process, rediscover their own.

Описание: This Osprey title examines the crucial campaign culminating in the hard-fought battle that finally drove the French from Portugal during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815). In October 1810 the Allied position in Portugal appeared precarious. Despite defeating Marshal Mass na's French army at Bussaco, Wellington had been forced to retreat to within a few miles of Lisbon. Here the French encountered a massive line of fortifications stretching from the River Tagus to the sea. Built amid great secrecy and on Wellington's specific orders, these Lines of Torres Vedras were the French high-water mark. In February, with his army on the point of starvation, Mass na was forced to retreat and the scene was set for the climactic action of Fuentes de O oro.

Описание: Aaron Burr - Revolutionary War hero, third vice president of the United States and a controversial figure of the early republic - was tried and acquitted of treason charges in 1807, and thereafter departed for self-imposed exile in Europe, his political career in ruins. Drawing on Burr`s journal and other sources, this book provides a self-portrait of the down-and-out Founding Father abroad.
Описание: During the Napoleonic Wars, Sicily was of some tactical importance, and a British garrison was established there in 1806. For the next five years domestic and diplomatic affairs became increasingly complicated, and at last, in 1811, Lord William Bentinck was sent out to restore order. Dr Rosselli`s account of his unsuccessful mission is a story of strange people and strange events.
