Theodore Zeldin is that rare person, a genuine intellectual who none the less understands the mass media and who possesses the curiosity to connect with and elucidate ordinary people s lives. Conversation brings his central theme that conversation is essential to our development as civilised human beings into sharp focus. Born out of the huge listener response to his lecture series on Radio 4, this unique manifesto alters our perceptions and practices of conversation. It is both a sourcebook of ideas about what conversation is and a provocative manual or game for improving how we talk to one another. Illustrated with Zeldin s own distinctive and original paintings, which provide a commentary on his theme, Conversation is a fascinating insight into human behaviour from a wise and charming observer. It demonstrates, in an accessible way, the means by which just talking and listening to others can improve our lives.

English version by Edward O. Marsh, Jeremy Brooks. London, Eyre Methuen 1980, cm.12x19, pp.107, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. Considered the high point of Gogol's writing for the stage and a masterpiece of dramatic satire, The Inspector General skewers the stupidity, greed, and venality of Russian provincial officials. When it is announced that the Inspector General is coming to visit incognito, Anton, the chief of police, hastens to clean up the town before his arrival. Local officials scurry to hide evidence of bribe-taking and other misdeeds, setting the stage for the arrival from St. Petersburg of Ivan, a penurious gambler and rake who is promptly taken by the townspeople to be the dreaded Inspector General. Ivan, and his servant, Osip, soon take advantage of the situation with hilarious results. First performed in 1836, the play transcends regional and national boundaries to offer a biting, highly entertaining glimpse of universal human foibles and failings.
