Storia della Francia dal 1715 al 1965.

Prefaz.di Franco Valsecchi. Postfaz.di Francesco Perfetti. Traduz.di Giorgio Spina. Roma, Bonacci Ed. 1994, cm.13,5x21, pp.164, brossura Coll.Storia e Politica. Classici,4. Pubblicato nel 1964, questo saggio di Cobban, il cui titolo originale è The social interpretation of the Frenche revolution, è non soltanto un classico sull'argomento, ma anche il lavoro che apre la strada alla storiografia cosiddetta "revisionistica" sulla Rivoluzione Francese. Sostenitore di un approccio storiografico che privilegia i fatti rispetto alle teorie, Cobban demolisce l'edificio interpretativo del marxismo e del marx-leninismo. Alla tesi che vede nella Rivoluzione Francese l'evento che pone fine all'ordine feudale e porta all'industrializzazione del governo della borghesia egli oppone, con l'avallo di una ricca documentazione, una tesi del tutto diversa: la Rivoluzione, lungi dal comportare l'ingresso nella società francese di un capitalismo in embrione, fu in larga misura un movimento contro di esso. Un saggio introduttivo di Franco Valsecchi e una postfazione di Francesco Perfetti collocano il contributo di questo importante e affascinante libro di Cobban nel quadro dell'evoluzione del discorso interpretatitvo e storiografico sulla Rivoluzione Francese.

This is a true story about a forbidden herb with the name of a Goddess. When a possible solution to the various “evils” which afflict us and that we usually fight with patented chemical drugs is curbed and even banned, important questions must arise. Artemisia was well known and revered in ancient times and has always been surrounded by an aura of magic, lost in the mists of time. In ancient Greece it was burned to propitiate the Gods. In ancient Rome it was used to create woven crowns to ward off bad luck. In many Shamanic traditions it was used to create altered states of consciousness and to favour visions. For over five hundred years there has been a war against this plant and its incredible healing powers. Nothing lasts forever and the time has come for the return of the Goddess. Firenze, Libreria Salvemini 2024, cm.16x23, pp.216, brossura copertina figurata a colori. There is a plant with the name of a Goddess. For centuries men have been trying with all their might to conceal the knowledge surrounding this plant and her incredible healing powers. Her story is as old as time itself. I knew nothing of her until about three years ago when I accidentally heard the name for the first time. Little did I know that my research would take me back in time, to study ancient manuscripts and to read about tales of dragon blood, wars, witch hunts and monasteries full of hand painted manuscripts and herbal gardens. Through my research I have travelled to ancient Greek, Egyptian and Roman temples and witnessed the ancient rites to the Goddess. She was revered in ancient China and on the mountains of the mighty Himalayas, the native Americans knew her name well, as did the nomadic Mongolian horse riders. Potions, tinctures, oils and leaves carried by nomadic merchants would travel the world in the old days. But that was before the rift, when a few men decided that they wanted a monopoly on cures. The truth cannot be hidden forever and I sincerely wish that this book will shed some light on herstory and return her to her rightful place as the Queen of herbs, a gift from nature for all of humanity.

Tallapragada Subba Row (July 6, 1856 - June 24, 1890) was a mystic and a Theosophist from a Hindu background. In 1882, he invited Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott to Madras (now Chennai), where he convinced them to make Adyar the permanent headquarters for the Theosophical Society. Upon this meeting and thereafter, Subba Row became able to recite whatever passage was so requested of him from the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and many other sacred texts of India. He had, apparently, never studied these things prior to the fateful meeting, and it is stated that when meeting Blavatsky and Damodar K. Mavalankar, all knowledge from his previous lives came flooding back. Among the many memorable works he left to humanity, they include his commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita, Esoteric Writings, and his Collected Writings in two volumes. The essay The Philosophy of Spirit, that we propose to our readers today, was written in December 1883 and included in the Subba Row’s Collection of Esoteric Writings, published for the Bombay Theosophical Publication Fund by Rajaram Tookaram in Bombay in 1910. It intends to be a response, certainly polemical but highly argued, to the studies of the British spiritualist and theosophist William Oxley. Oxley, who joined the Theosophical Society and used the pseudonym "Busiris", was the author of several books, among which was The Philosophy of the Spirit (London, 1881), announced as "a New Version of the Bhagavat Gita". With an introduction by Nicola Bizzi.
