E nessuno degli altri cittadini per paura faceva più opposizione, vedendo che i partecipanti alla congiura erano tanti; ma se anche qualcuno si opponeva, subito moriva in un modo opportuno, e non si indagava sui colpevoli né si punivano i sospetti, ma il popolo se ne stava tranquillo ed era così atterrito che chi non subiva alcuna violenza già riteneva di fare un guadagno, anche se era costretto al silenzio. Accade di rado che uno storico si trovi immerso nel cuore di una rivoluzione e ne esca vivo. È quanto capitò a Tucidide, nell'anno 411 a.C.

English | 2012 | pages: 292 | ISBN: 0700618678, 070061866X | PDF | 37,5 mb
The Chicago Tribune headline "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" remains infamously wrong about the outcome of the 1948 presidential election. But, as Andrew Busch reveals, there is much more to this story than the well-worn image of a victorious and beaming President Harry Truman parading the newspaper's erroneously headlined front page for all to see.

Free Download Katherine Lunn-Rockliffe, "Tristan Corbière and the Poetics of Irony"
English | 2006 | pages: 245 | ISBN: 0199295883 | PDF | 0,8 mb
Tristan Corbière is often viewed as the archetypal poète maudit, a misunderstood rebel and bohemian prankster. This is a study of the poet's innovative use of language. It uses the critical tool of irony to analyze his idiosyncratic verse, showing how he contributed to the general revolution in poetic language that marked the 1870s in France. Corbière's poetry pushed the ironic element in Baudelaire to its limit and exerted an important influence on Laforgue, Pound, and Eliot. It played a key role in the ironic tradition of Symbolism which is often overshadowed by the "pure" poetry of contemporaries like Mallarmé.

Free Download Elisabeth Huber, "Tri-Constituent Compounds: A Usage-Based Account of Complex Nominal Compounding "
English | ISBN: 3111080757 | 2023 | 271 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
This book provides a usage-based perspective to the study of multi-word compounding, analyzing the structural, functional and cognitive aspects of tripartite compounds (e.g. day care center, football game, hotel bedroom). It highlights the heterogeneity of these word-formation products, but also carves out surprising differences to two-word compounds. In order to reveal the step from two-word compounding to multi-word compounding, the book explains why only some compounds are used productively for the formation of more complex compounds. Building on the idea of entrenchment, it provides a theoretical account that allows understanding speakers' ability to produce multi-word compounds.

Free Download Malice, "Transnational Imaginations of Socialism: Town Twinning and Local Government in "Red" Italy and the GDR, 1960s-1970s "
English | ISBN: 3110667266 | 2022 | 350 pages | PDF | 10 MB
Town twinning refers to the postwar phenomenon of administrative exchange between analogous municipalities. Cold War-related research has mostly interpreted it as an instrument to pursue European integration, or to solidify détente "from below". However, municipalities were not only administrative, neutral actors, but also bearers of political content. This is particularly visible in the case of Italian towns located in the Western bloc, guided by socialist-oriented administrations, and their "twin" counterparts in the German Democratic Republic.

Free Download Harmon, "Translation and Power (Studies in Linguistics, Anglophone Literatures and Cultures)"
English | 2020 | pages: 308 | ISBN: 3631823118 | PDF | 8,3 mb
Like many other human activities, translation is related to different forms of power. It can be the ability to control and set the rules. With written translations of significant works of culture, it has often been the powerholders who supported and promoted or impeded them, depending on their own preferences or their understanding of the actual sociopolitical needs. The powerholders in question are individual or collective decision-makers at various levels of the sociopolitical hierarchy who determine policies and allocate funds for approved projects. This book focuses on the possiblities of various approches to translation and power as a research topic within Translation Studies.
