Paperback. Condition: New. Apology of a Loser?is an essay that critically explores the dynamics of success and failure in contemporary society. It questions a culture obsessed with individual achievement and challenges the widespread belief that personal will is the primary driver of success. Divided into three sections, this essay first examines how the concept of success is shaped by historical and social forces, especially the neoliberal ideology that links achievement solely to merit, ignoring the crucial roles of socio-economic background, chance, and privilege. The second section dismantles the myth of meritocracy, showing--through historical cases and sociological research--how success often depends on external, unpredictable factors. It critiques the circular logic that equates success with talent and highlights the cumulative advantages that widen social inequalities, even among equally capable individuals. In its final section, the essay proposes a cultural shift: learning to fail. It redefines failure not as personal defeat but as a meaningful part of life, essential for growth and self-awareness. By rejecting the toxic pursuit of success at all costs, Apology of a Loser?offers a more balanced, human, and sustainable vision of personal fulfillment. …

Brossura. Condition: new. Lucca, 2022; br., pp. 115, cm 15x22. Nel corso dei decenni Anne Frank è stata in qualche modo idealizzata e per certi versi banalizzata. Questo testo riprende il tema della mitizzazione della ragazza di Amsterdam e accende i riflettori sulla parte finale della sua vita - così troppo poco raccontata e ricordata - dando rilievo ai legami che intercorrono tra "vita, morte, memoria (e storia)". In questo senso va inteso il titolo del libro "Anne Frank doveva morire?". Inoltre viene posta grande attenzione al Diario in quanto reperto - allo stesso tempo - documentale e letterario: come è nato, come è strutturato, quali sono le vicissitudini che ne hanno fatto da un lato un masterpiece, ma dall'altro il mezzo di mistificazione principale della figura della sua stessa autrice; Anne autrice che, rimanendo incastrata nell'immagine di eterna adolescente, ha rilievo, in ambito letterario (erroneamente secondo l'autore) nel catalogo "letture per giovani".
