"A spectre is haunting Europethe spectre of communism."In a world transformed by the Industrial Revolution, Marx and Engels set out to decode the hidden mechanics of society. They argue that all of human history is the history of class struggles: the constant friction between those who own the means of production and those who sell their labor to survive. The Communist Manifesto is a call to action that envisions a future beyond exploitation, predicting the inevitable rise of the working class and the transition to a classless, stateless society. Whether viewed as a historical artifact or a living critique of global economics, this text remains essential for understanding the modern world.The Great Divide: Bourgeoisie vs. Proletariat: The Manifesto famously defines the two warring camps of the industrial age. The Bourgeoisie (the ruling capitalist class) are described as a revolutionary force that "shattered" feudalism but created a system of "naked self-interest." Opposing them is the Proletariat (the working class), whom Marx describes as the "grave-diggers" of the very system that created them.The Ten-Point Program: In the second section, the authors lay out a controversial and radical set of measures for the "most advanced countries," including the abolition of private land ownership, a heavy progressive income tax, and the centralization of credit and communication in the hands of the state. These points sparked over a century of political experimentation and debate across every continent.A Legacy of Global Change: From the revolutions of 1917 to the modern labor movements of the 21st century, the rhetoric of the Manifesto has been used to challenge the status quo. Its closing cry"Working Men of All Countries, Unite!"remains one of the most famous slogans in human language, symbolizing the birth of international political solidarity.Analyze the roots of the modern world.

"Descend into the crater of Snaefellsjokull, and you will reach the center of the earth. I have done it." Arne SaknussemmWhen the eccentric Professor Otto Lidenbrock discovers a cryptic runic manuscript by an ancient Icelandic alchemist, he embarks on an audacious mission: to follow the authors path into the very heart of the planet. Accompanied by his reluctant nephew Axel and their stoic guide Hans, the trio descends into the bowels of a dormant volcano. What they find defies all scientific laws of the 19th centurya vast, sunless world of luminous forests, subterranean oceans, and living relics of the prehistoric past.A Masterpiece of Scientific Speculation: Verne was a master of "hard" sci-fi, grounding his fantastic tales in the geology and paleontology of his day. As the characters descend, they move backward through time, passing through different geological strata. The novel turns a treacherous expedition into an immersive lesson on the history of our planet.The Prehistoric Sea: The centerpiece of the adventure is the "Lidenbrock Sea," a massive underground ocean illuminated by a strange electrical phenomenon. Here, the explorers witness a titanic struggle between a Plesiosaur and an Ichthyosaur, creatures long thought extinct. Vernes descriptions of these ancient behemoths remain some of the most vivid in adventure fiction.A Trio of Contrasts: The story is driven by its characters: the obsessed and brilliant Professor Lidenbrock, the cautious and skeptical Axel, and the unflappable Hans Bjelke. Their dynamic provides a human anchor to the overwhelming wonders of the deep, exploring themes of courage, intellectual curiosity, and the limits of human endurance.The Great Ascent: Trapped and running out of supplies, the teams journey reaches a fever pitch as they face volcanic eruptions and magnetic storms. Their unconventional "exit" from the Earths interior is one of the most famous and thrilling finales in the genre.Descend into the unknown. Purchase "A Journey to the Center of the Earth" today.

The Idiot follows Prince Myshkin, a man of pure goodness and compassion, as he navigates a society driven by greed, vanity, and manipulation.

Middlemarch is widely regarded as one of the greatest novels in the English language.

"He was not a man of this world, and the gold he paid with had a cold, ancient gleam."In the workshops of 17th-century Leyden, the young and talented artist Godfried Schalken falls in love with Rose, the beautiful niece of his master, Gerard Douw. But their romance is shattered by the arrival of a mysterious suitor: Minheer Vanderhausen. Blue-skinned, breathless, and draped in magnificent but outdated finery, Vanderhausen offers a chest of gold so immense that Douw cannot refuse. Rose is bartered away to this living corpse, disappearing into a nightmare from which there is no return. Years later, Schalken is granted one final, terrifying glimpse of his lost loveand the horrific entity she now serves in the shadows.The Horror of the Visual: Le Fanu, himself an admirer of art, uses the techniques of the Dutch masters to tell his story. He describes scenes as if they were paintings, utilizing chiaroscurothe intense contrast between deep shadows and bright lightto hide the grotesque features of the supernatural antagonist. The result is a story that feels as textured and atmospheric as an oil painting come to life.A Tale of Moral Decay: At its heart, the story is a critique of avarice. Gerard Douws willingness to sell his niece for a chest of gold is the "true" horror that invites the supernatural in. Le Fanu explores the idea that human greed can be more monstrous than any phantom, leading to a tragedy that haunts the protagonist until his dying day.The Legacy of the "Demon Lover": Schalken the Painter is a foundational text in the "demon lover" tradition of Gothic fiction. It avoids the typical "clanking chains" of 18th-century ghosts, opting instead for a quiet, physical, and deeply uncanny presence. The final image of the storythe "living" paintingremains one of the most famous and frightening endings in horror literature.Dont look too closely at the shadows.

"He was a man who feared neither God nor Devil, but he feared a life without gold even more."Captain Walshawe is a man of legendary cruelty and even greater debt. Living in the decaying Wauling Manor, he views his pious and suffering wife not as a companion, but as a financial obstacle. When she dies, the Captains avarice leads him to commit a chilling act of spiritual sacrilege involving a "soul candle"a ritual intended to secure her fortune for himself, regardless of the cost to her eternal rest. But as the shadows lengthen in the drafty halls of Wauling, the Captain discovers that some bargains cannot be undone, and the spirit he thought he had extinguished is far from gone.The Horror of Character: Unlike many Gothic tales that rely on external monsters, the primary horror here is Captain Walshawe himself. Le Fanu paints a portrait of a man so consumed by selfishness that he becomes more frightening than the specters that haunt him. His "wickedness" is a tangible force that stains the very walls of his home.The Symbolic "Soul-Candle": Le Fanu utilizes a unique and terrifying supernatural device in this storythe candle that represents the life or soul of the deceased. This element introduces a tactile, ticking-clock tension to the haunting, as the Captains fate becomes literally tied to a flickering flame in the dark.A Masterclass in the Uncanny: The haunting of Wauling is subtle and psychological. It manifests in the sound of a silk dress brushing against a door, the smell of a guttering candle, and the oppressive feeling of a presence that refuses to leave. It is Le Fanu at his most focused, proving that the most terrifying ghosts are those created by our own transgressions.The Inevitability of Justice: As with much of Le Fanus work, the story serves as a grim reminder that one cannot cheat the afterlife. The Captains attempt to manipulate the spiritual world for material gain results in a haunting that is both a punishment and a mirror of his own moral vacuum.Face the darkness of Wauling. Purchase this classic of psychological horror today.

Dal 1776 ad oggi, gli Stati Uniti sono stati coinvolti in unimpressionante numero di guerre da quelle fondative sul proprio suolo, passando per espansioni continentali e guerre mondiali, fino ai moderni conflitti globali contro nemici irregolari e terroristi. Le motivazioni variano: dallindipendenza e unificazione territoriale, allespansione imperialista (destino manifesto), fino allideologia del contenimento del comunismo e, piu recentemente, alla lotta contro il terrorismo e la difesa di un ordine internazionale liberale. Gli esiti sono altrettanto vari: successi netti (come WWII, Guerra del Golfo 1991), stalli sanguinosi (Corea, la lunga Guerra Fredda senza confronto diretto ma con tante vittime per procura), sconfitte costose (Vietnam, Afghanistan 2021), dubbi successi (Iraq 2003, interventi post-2011).In termini umani, il tributo delle guerre americane e elevatissimo, specialmente per le altre nazioni coinvolte. Gli Stati Uniti hanno speso forse 20 anni su 245 in pace, essendo quasi costantemente in qualche forma di conflitto. Le stime dei caduti americani in guerre dallIndipendenza fino a oggi superano 1.300.000 soldati (piu di meta solo nella Guerra Civile), a cui si aggiungono centinaia di migliaia di feriti. Le perdite dei nemici e dei civili sono contate in decine di milioni solo nel XX secolo, le guerre di cui gli USA furono attori hanno visto forse 50-60 milioni di morti (tra WWII, Corea, Vietnam, Iraq, ecc.). Come osserva uno studio, dallindomani della WWII al 2018 gli USA hanno combattuto in almeno dozzine di conflitti armati, e sono direttamente o indirettamente responsabili di milioni di morti. Il ruolo globale militare americano continua ad evolvere: il XXI secolo ha visto il peso crescente della competizione con altre potenze (Russia, Cina) e sfide come la cyber-guerra. Ma la lezione storica rimane che ogni intervento armato comporta costi e conseguenze spesso non previste. Dallindipendenza a oggi, la storia militare degli Stati Uniti riflette lascesa del paese da giovane repubblica isolata a superpotenza egemone, con tutte le responsabilita e controversie che cio comporta. Guardando al passato, si scorgono momenti di coraggio e successo come pure errori, crimini e tragedie: un retaggio composito che gli USA e il mondo intero continuano a valutare e affrontare.I mini-ebook di Passerino Editore sono guide agili, essenziali e complete, per orientarsi nella storia del mondo.A cura di Antonio Ferraiuolo.

"They come in a grand carriage of gold and silk, but where they take you, the sun never shines."In the shadow of the brooding Slieve-na-mon mountain, a poor widow struggles to raise her children in an isolated cottage. Their world is upended when a magnificent, out-of-place carriagedrawn by coal-black horses and carrying a lady of otherworldly beautyappears on the lonely road. What follows is not a fairytale of rescue, but a nightmare of abduction. Le Fanu weaves a terrifyingly atmospheric tale of the "Good People" and their desire for human children, exploring the thin veil between our world and the eerie, timeless realm of the Sidhe.The Horror of the Uncanny: Le Fanu excels at making the supernatural feel physically present. The carriage isnt a ghostly mist; it is heavy, opulent, and real. The horror lies in the contrast between the familys humble, earthy reality and the cold, artificial perfection of the fairy gentry.A Tale of Loss and Longing: Unlike a traditional horror story, this is a tragedy of "the empty chair." Le Fanu focuses on the devastating psychological impact on the family left behind. It taps into the ancient "Changeling" fears of rural Irelandthe idea that a loved one can be stolen and replaced by something that looks like them but has no soul.The Master of Folk-Gothic: This story is a crucial bridge between traditional folklore and modern horror. Le Fanus prose captures the "shiver" of the Irish countryside, where every gust of wind or strange light on the hill might be the arrival of those who never grow old and never forgive.Dont let them catch your eye.
