Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. 78 type script pages with diagrams, tables and index. Folio (12 1/2" x 8 3/4") bound in original publisher's stapled wrappers. First edition. This covers the XIII Italian chess championship by correspondence with the history of the 12 previous championships. The game of correspondence chess was not widespread in Italy. So the author has not done a useless job picking up all the games played in the last Italian Championship by mail, which was 13 in the series - the first was played 23 years ago - and a good number of the best games played in the previous 12 championships. The correspondence game considerably affects the formation of the chess player, and, therefore, is important in the three phases of the game. With players, having a lot of time available for each move, they have the opportunity, by consulting books or publications, to study and learn the most important variations of the opening and the most typical endings, to get used to the analysis - even the most complicated - of the middle game, thus consolidating its theoretical and practical aspects. From the foregoing it follows that the enthusiast in the game of chess can get a lot of the game by correspondence where the moves that are very weak (or "oversights") are almost nonexistent and where those who win are those who perform more meticulous, patient and precise analysis.

Cubiertas: leves roces y ligeramente deslucidas. USADO / GEBRAUCHT / USED. En 1970 un escritor cubano criado en los Estados Unidos vuelve a la isla para redactar el guión cinematográfico de un documental. Es la época de euforia revolucionaria, de la Gran Zafra, del llamado "Ario de los Diez Millones de Toneladas", y el documental no es más que el pretexto para un intenso viaje hacia sus raíces que realiza el protagonista de la novela. Sin embargo, esta búsqueda febril no terminará de explicarle verdaderamente su pasado y abarcar su presente hasta que el escritor no ceda jirones de sí mismo y de sus relaciones con la cultura anglosajona que consideraba casi propia hasta ese momento. Pablo Armando Fernández pinta en esta portentosa novela el fresco vivo de un pueblo en épica batalla: con sus propias contradicciones, con el hostil exterior y con los imperativos históricos de la época. La peripecia individual de un hombre se transforma así en una historia de mil cabezas. sobre el estrecho vínculo entre el destino de un hombre y el de su tierra.

paperback. Condition: As New. Catalogo pubblicato in occasione della mostra tenutasi presso la Diehll Galerie, Berlino 19 settembre - 14 novembre 2015. Testi di Abdourahman A. Waberi, Friedrich Meschede. Fotografie a colori. Biografia. Edizione in inglese e tedesco . Cm 30x30. pp. 76. . Perfetto (Mint). . . . Turi Simeti, artista nato nel 1929 ad Alcamo, in Sicilia, è stato associato alle caratteristiche stilistiche del movimento ZERO fin dai suoi esordi artistici. Da Alcamo, crea dipinti che esprimono stati d'animo influenzati dalla luce.  In omaggio a questo luogo, l'attuale serie di opere del 2015 porta questo titolo: Alcamo I - X.Dieci tele di 100 x 100 cm appaiono nello stesso formato quadrato. Si differenziano per il colore e per le interruzioni superficiali a rilievo, ottenute mediante superfici ovali di supporto alla tela. La monocromia è conservata, ma la morfologia della superficie della tela è manipolata e cerca di evocare strutture, movimento e quindi un gioco di luci e ombre. I motivi ovali possono essere letti come un riferimento malizioso alla ?O? di Zero = zero; come una sequenza ripetuta di forme in rilievo o profonde, formano una composizione regolare all'interno del monocromo, che diventa visibile solo grazie alle diverse rifrazioni della luce in questi punti. Questa pubblicazione è organizzata in modo tale che Turi Simeti fa seguire a ogni illustrazione dei singoli dipinti una selezione di fotografie apparentemente ordinarie, come se fossero arbitrarie - istantanee che ritraggono un panorama del suo mondo siciliano. Se si guarda più da vicino, si scopre subito che queste immagini contengono origini concettuali nascoste o implicite che hanno portato alle diverse composizioni degli ovaloidi, agli schemi di colore delle tele di questo gruppo di opere. Sono questi motivi della cultura quotidiana siciliana che portano Simeti alla pittura astratta.La natura apparentemente non oggettiva dei suoi dipinti si rivela radicata in idee concrete, la cui esperienza comune e unificante risiede nell'esperienza della luce.

Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket As Issued. IN A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE MUST DIE YOUNG, ESCAPE BECOMES THE ULTIMATE ACT OF REBELLION. A classic dystopian science-fiction novel presented in the popular 1976 movie tie-in edition issued to coincide with the release of the MGM film adaptation. One of the defining works of late twentieth-century speculative fiction, Logan's Run imagines a future society that maintains social order and resource control through a chilling mandate: no citizen may live beyond the age of twenty-one. Part adventure, part social critique, the novel follows Logan 5, an elite enforcer whose duty is to hunt down "Runners"-those who attempt to escape their scheduled death. When Logan himself becomes a target of the system he once served, he embarks on a desperate journey that forces him to confront the values and assumptions upon which his society is built. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Mass-market paperback. Movie tie-in edition illustrated with color stills from the 1976 film adaptation. Measures approximately 7 inches tall. Complete as issued. CONDITION: The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean. Age-toning to the pages as expected. Moderate shelf handling wear. Covers remain attractive with no significant creasing or damage. Appears unread. CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS +++ Landmark and defining dystopian novel of the 1960s +++ Explores population control and state authority +++ Features the iconic character Logan 5 +++ Influential precursor to later dystopian fiction +++ Basis for the 1976 MGM motion picture +++ Combines action, adventure, and social commentary. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - First published in 1967, Logan's Run emerged during a period of growing public concern regarding population growth, resource scarcity, and the relationship between individual freedom and governmental control. Nolan and Johnson transformed these anxieties into a fast-paced dystopian narrative that questioned the costs of enforced social stability. The novel became one of the most influential works of its era, helping shape later generations of dystopian science fiction. Its themes of surveillance, population management, youth culture, and resistance to authority continue to resonate in contemporary speculative fiction. ABOUT THE AUTHORS - William F. Nolan was a prolific writer, screenwriter, and historian of science fiction whose career spanned more than six decades. George Clayton Johnson was an acclaimed writer known for his work in both science fiction and television, including memorable episodes of The Twilight Zone and Star Trek. Together they created one of the genre's most enduring dystopian visions. FILM ADAPTATION - Logan's Run was adapted into the 1976 MGM motion picture directed by Michael Anderson and starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Richard Jordan, Roscoe Lee Browne, Farrah Fawcett, and Peter Ustinov. The film became a landmark of 1970s science-fiction cinema and introduced the story to a much broader audience. It was later followed by a television series and remains a cult favorite among science-fiction fans. SUBJECTS: William F.
