"More captivating than a day at the races, James Carter offers a sweeping ride through Shanghai's tumultuous history.Every visitor to the city should read this book to know whose footsteps came before in People's Square." - Helen Zia, author of Last Boat Out of Shanghai: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Fled Mao's Revolution. "Champions Day is the work of a seasoned China specialist in top form, delivering engrossing stories, engaging arguments, and enticing details - a cultural history trifecta." - Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom, author of Global Shanghai 1850-2010. "Could it really be possible to encapsulate the nuanced story of old Shanghai in one day? James Carter proves it can and, through the lens of Champions Day, 1941, at the Shanghai Race Club, reveals the myriad histories of this controversial and problematic century-long urban experiment in East-West fusion." - Paul French, bestselling author. "James Carter's account of Shanghai is a gripping tale.To understand the origins of some of the tensions and clashes between China and the West in the present day, this account is essential." - Rana Mitter, author of Forgotten Ally: China's World War II, 1937-1945. "How a Single Day Revealed the History and Foreshadowed the Future of Shanghai. It is November 12, 1941, and the world is at war. In Shanghai, just weeks before Pearl Harbor, thousands celebrate the birthday of China's founding father, Sun Yat-sen, in a new city center built to challenge European imperialism. Across town, crowds of Shanghai residents from all walks of life attend the funeral of China's wealthiest woman, the Chinese-French widow of a Baghdadi Jewish businessman - her death symbolic of the passing of a generation that had seen Shanghai's rise to global prominence. But it is the racetrack that attracts the largest crowd of all. At the center of the International Settlement, the heart of Western colonization - but also of Chinese progressivism, art, commerce, cosmopolitanism, and celebrity - Champions Day unfolds, drawing tens of thousands of Chinese spectators and Europeans alike to bet on the horses. In a sharp and lively snapshot of the day's events, James Carter recaptures the complex history of Old Shanghai. Champions Day is a kaleidoscopic portrait of city poised for revolution." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di Maria Mautone.Testi di Chiara Abbate, Barbara Bertoli e Ronza Maria.Napoli, 2011; br., pp. 204, 80 ill. col., cm 22,5x23,5.(Monumenta Neapolitana. 4). Il testo si rivolge alla "cultura delle ville" soffermandosi sulla collina del Vomero, un tempo luogo mitico e incantato, per indagarne nello svolgersi dei secoli motivazioni e caratterizzazioni politiche, sociali e urbanistiche.La storia di un territorio bucolico, salubre e lussureggiante, meta prediletta per la villeggiatura della nobiltà fin dal Seicento, è vista attraverso episodi architettonici d'innegabile valore artistico e paesaggistico che in molti casi ancora oggi permangono lungo i principali tracciati del moderno rione.Il testo, diviso in tre capitoli, indaga gli eventi che tra il Settecento e l'Ottocento, segnarono l'esplosione del fenomeno della villeggiatura, sviluppatosi di pari passo con l'affermarsi della borghesia, e le successive vicende che nel corso del Novecento portarono alla costruzione del Nuovo Rione Vomero, culmine del processo di trasformazione e saturazione speculativa dei luoghi.Attraverso itinerari storici e moderni, si è voluto far conoscere il ricco patrimonio culturale che, nonostante i profondi mutamenti del territorio, ancora oggi attraverso le ville è indicativo del mutuo rapporto tra architettura e natura.Con una analisi puntuale del materiale iconografico e d'archivio reperito si è voluto pertanto, dare il giusto rilievo ad un patrimonio che attraverso le forme architettoniche esprime l'identità, la storia e la cultura dei luoghi.
