Faking Community Service Hoours

We help Japan!

We all see the dramatic images on television of the disaster that hit Japan and its people.
Lara Mann (author of Esbat and Sopdet) had the idea to organize an initiative in favor of this earth! We carry below his post:

The idea came to me surfing. In almost every country, visual artists, musicians, writers, and organized on the web to make a donation on behalf of Japan. For example, in England have done this .
I wondered: what about us?
And then I thought: let's do it.
The hypothesis is this. We open a website or blog. Posted, as a gift, a short text. A story, really. It would be nice to be bound to what has happened and is happening in Japan. But these days, would be fine also an unpublished, in the case of already published authors. Because I'd like to extend the idea to all those who write fan writer, blog and forum goers on writing. Why this is not the occasion, in my opinion, to prove that you are good, but you can use writing for a purpose. Too. So
. It posted the text and the reader is asked to one euro, not more, to be donated on behalf of Japan. Personally, I thought to Save The Children and / or Doctors Without Borders. We need to contact them, but I suspect that there are no problems.
Time: fast.
What do you think?
have already joined, via Facebook, many writers: Virginia De Winter, GL D'Andrea, Francesco Falconi, Fabio Redivo, Laura Costantini, Isabella Moroni. But many other networking: Caska Langley, Francesca Baraldi, Kei Nekomata, Diana Cullen, Andrea Cattaneo, Daniela Vio Benedetti, Federica leave, Vincent Mancuso. Surely forget someone, but the list includes a few hours ago. What do you think?

On his blog you can follow the evolution of the initiative! In any case I will keep you updated. Spin the news on social networks and your forum or blog! Let's give a hand to Japan!

SPECIAL UNIT 'IN ITALY!



In collaboration with the blog of Emanuele Valerio , public Today a post that has as its main theme "The Unity of Italy . To celebrate the 150th anniversary Unit of our country, I suggest some books "theme."




The blood of the South
Jordan B. Guerri

Publisher: Mondadori
Pages: 312
Price: € 20.00

The 150th anniversary Unification of Italy is an opportunity to dispel some stereotypes that have always orient the court of public opinion. Giordano Bruno Guerri then asks provocatively if the Risorgimento, rather than a mass movement by the people wanted, it was rather a campaign of conquest of the Kingdom of Savoy. To combat the rebellion of the southern populations forced annexation, the army of the newborn Kingdom of Italy applied a ruthless and violent repression, killing at least one hundred thousand deaths and ferocious cruelty on both sides. In this "anti-historical in Italy" - in whose pages Cavour never puts foot in Rome, and Massimo d'Azeglio, having stated publicly "made Italy must make Italians," he confesses in private to "unite with Naples is like sleeping with a leper "- War provides a rigorous and stimulating contribution that helps to explain why" the first Italian civil war ", although distant in time, still makes it difficult for the path of political and civil renewal of the nation.




1861 - The history of the Risorgimento that there is no school books
Antonio Fasanella, Antonella Grippo

Publisher: Sperling & Kupfer
Pages: 288
Price: € 18.50

History Italy born of intrigue, mystery, corruption and violence. In a book counter, irreverent and anti-rhetorical, run the censored scenes of the great epic of the Risorgimento. What role did Freemasonry in the delivery of a Thousand? The sinking of the ship "Hercules" was the first massacre in the state? Which game was played between the state and mafia during the "scam of the plebiscites? What was the sect of the stabber who terrorized in Ravenna after-Unit? A compelling and passionate story about the roots sick and weak in our country: an important key to look at the unsolved problems of contemporary Italy.



Diary of the Expedition of the Thousand
Ippolito Nievo

Publisher: Mursia
Pages: 90
Price: € 9.00

A volume of Garibaldi in Sicily and made a diary and letters with the addition of an appendix of journalistic writings related to the shipment. Owes much to the relationship established by Nievo with his wife's cousin, Beatrice Melzi d'Eril, which becomes a bit 'his alter ego and privileged. With her, the writer does not hide and reasons for changes within, record impressions and situations with which it is facing.
