Hardback. Condition: New. As gay men and lesbian women increasingly gained recognition and acceptance in twentieth-century literature and film, and subsequently in social and political movements, the Catholic Church reacted by subtly moving away from its overt condemnation of homosexuality as an urgent moral problem and toward tacitly shunning homosexuality as an "unspeakable vice." In this revealing history, Francesco Torchiani reconstructs the Catholic Church's shifting attitudes toward homosexuality during this period by drawing on a vast array of internal documents and external accounts. This monograph expands the scholarship on the relationship between Catholicism and homosexuality in terms of both method and content, ultimately concluding that the Catholic Church continues to wholeheartedly condemn homosexuality despite making genuine efforts to reflect on and understand its social and cultural impact. The Unspeakable Vice therefore sheds new light on and places into historical perspective the questions the Catholic Church continues to reckon with regarding its role in contemporary society.…

Brossura. Condition: new. Roma, 2025; br., pp. 260, cm 15x22. (Frecce). L'attività di intellettuale e di storico di Gaetano Salvemini è sempre stata caratterizzata dall'intransigenza. A inizio Novecento, combatté contro il conservatorismo della classe dirigente liberale e impose la questione del Mezzogiorno al socialismo italiano. Fu un tenace oppositore di Giovanni Giolitti, che ribattezzò "il ministro della mala vita". Fondò l'"Unità" e si schierò a favore dell'ingresso dell'Italia nella Grande Guerra, al fianco delle democrazie liberali. Fu tra i più strenui avversari del fascismo, tanto da essere costretto all'esilio dopo aver visto perseguitati e uccisi alcuni dei suoi allievi e amici più cari, come Gobetti e i fratelli Rosselli. Per vent'anni, in Francia, in Inghilterra e negli USA denunciò con libri e conferenze la natura autoritaria del regime di Mussolini. Infine, nell'Italia repubblicana, polemizzò contro il comunismo e la "clerocrazia" di Pio XII. Visse, come lui stesso ebbe a ricordare, molte vite: tutte, a loro modo, tragiche. Dando voce ai suoi scritti, alle lettere e ai diari, questa biografia - la prima ad apparire in Italia dopo molti anni - le racconta restituendoci il ritratto a tutto tondo di uno dei più importanti storici e intellettuali italiani del XX secolo.
