In Italia lo sport, specie nella sua dimensione calcistica, ha un peso sociale enorme. Ma nelle diverse discipline, dal calcio appunto all'atletica, fino ad arrivare al tennis tavolo e a sport apparentemente "minori", è particolarmente evidente il problema di ragazzi e atleti cresciuti in Italia ma che, almeno per la burocrazia, ancora italiani non sono. La questione, centrale per il nostro paese, e non solo in ambito sportivo, è qui affrontata da diversi punti di vista: dalla situazione legislativa, apparentemente in movimento, ma sempre immobile su posizioni ormai antiquate, al ruolo delle diverse federazioni sportive, che propongono soluzioni differenti e a volte sorprendenti, fino ad arrivare alle storie degli atleti, forti e fortissimi, a volte campioni veri, costretti ad affrontare e vincere, oltre alle consuete prove e rivalità sportive, sfide di tutt'altro genere.

Dream interpretation was a prominent feature of the intellectual and imaginative world of late antiquity, for martyrs and magicians, philosophers and theologians, polytheists and monotheists alike. Finding it difficult to account for the prevalence of dream-divination, modern scholarship has often condemned it as a cultural weakness, a mass lapse into mere superstition. In this book, Patricia Cox Miller draws on pagan, Jewish, and Christian sources and modern semiotic theory to demonstrate the integral importance of dreams in late-antique thought and life. She argues that Graeco-Roman dream literature functioned as a language of signs that formed a personal and cultural pattern of imagination and gave tangible substance to ideas such as time, cosmic history, and the self.


Miller first discusses late-antique theories of dreaming, with emphasis on theological, philosophical, and hermeneutical methods of deciphering dreams as well as the practical uses of dreams, especially in magic and the cult of Asclepius. She then considers the cases of six Graeco-Roman dreamers: Hermas, Perpetua, Aelius Aristides, Jerome, Gregory of Nyssa, and Gregory of Nazianus. Her detailed readings illuminate the ways in which dreams provided solutions to ethical and religious problems, allowed for the reconfiguration of gender and identity, provided occasions for the articulation of ethical ideas, and altogether served as a means of making sense and order of the world.

Relates the history of the Isaak family of Memel (now Klaipėda), Lithuania, during World War II, based on letters the author's mother received from her relatives until 1941 in Trieste, where she settled in 1937, and on interviews with surviving relatives. Describes the growing hostility against Jews in Memel, parallel to the rise of Nazism in Germany. Most of the family fled to other parts of Lithuania, where they experienced pogroms in 1941 and 1942, after the German invasion. The Church and the press were instrumental in reinforcing the hostility against the Jews, accusing them, among others, of being Russian collaborators. Some members of the family perished during the liquidation of the ghettos of Kovno and Vilna, some found refuge in the forest, and others managed to emigrate to Canada or Israel. The letters deal mainly with everyday questions; the writers avoided discussing the terrible circumstances which affected them. also summarizes political developments in Trieste during the war and the consequences they had on the Jews.
