«Credo di non essere la persona più adatta a scrivere un libro sulla spe¬ranza: per me, il proverbiale bicchiere non solo è mezzo vuoto, ma con buona certezza contiene un liquido disgustoso e potenzialmente letale.

Eppure, sostiene il grande critico inglese Terry Eagleton, può davvero sperare ...

In questo libro combattivo e radicale, Terry Eagleton affronta l'opera di Marx con un linguaggio semplice e diretto. In un mondo come quello attuale, caratterizzato da una pesante crisi del capitalismo, questo libro ha il merito di discutere in modo critico e diretto le accuse di coloro che rimproverano a Marx di non essere più attuale. Ma proprio il momento che stiamo vivendo conferma sempre più la verità e l'attualità del suo pensiero. Eagle...

On his quirky journey through the language, geography, and national character of the United States, Eagleton proves to be at once an informal and utterly idiosyncratic guide to our peculiar race. He answers the questions his compatriots have always had but (being British) dare not ask, like why Americans willingly rise at the crack of dawn, even on Sundays, or why we publicly chastise cigarette smokers as if we're all spokespeople for the surg...

Marcuse) oder ganz einfach eine "künstlich erzeugte Illusion" (W. B. Yeats)? Dieses Buch führt ein in die unterschiedlichen Aspekte, was uns Kultur bedeutet, was wir mit Kultur anderen bedeuten wollen, und welchen Unterschied es macht, von der Kultur einen Blick auf andere Kulturen ...
