Condition: MOLTO BUONO. Milano, Adelphi cm.14,5x22,5, pp.300, brossura. Collana dei Casi,136. Molti luoghi del mondo sono macchine del tempo, quasi sempre rivolte al passato. Poi ce ne sono alcuni - pochissimi - che portano direttamente, se non al futuro, a quello che del futuro riusciamo a immaginare. Uno è la California di Michele Masneri. Non importa dove Masneri si aggiri, né con chi parli: che ascolti un autista di Uber descrivergli nei particolari la startup che lo renderà miliardario, registri le lagnanze dei vicini di casa di Mark Zuckerberg, tormentati dalle sue perenni ristrutturazioni di interni, esplori quanto sopravvive dell'un tempo gioioso ecosistema gay, o si faccia spiegare molto bene da Jonathan Franzen dove il pianeta dovrebbe andare per salvarsi, quella che Masneri scrive qui è una lunga, movimentata, esilarante prova provata di quanto ci avesse visto lungo Frank Lloyd Wright, quando sosteneva che tutto quanto sul pianeta non abbia un ancoraggio sufficientemente solido prima o poi comincerà a scivolare verso la California.

Condition: Buono USATO. I. Nichel ITALIANO Un escort che à anche ghost writer. Un immobiliarista che sfrutta il mito di Pasolini per gonfiare le quotazioni delle periferie romane. Un importante economista condannato a fare sempre e solo marchette. E poi ereditiere dell'Olgiata, signore di Cortina d'Ampezzo, conduttori televisivi che crollano e risorgono. Sono questi i protagonisti di un romanzo che, avendo come crocevia il rione Monti di Roma (un tempo covo di prostitute e di briganti, oggi zona 'in' della cittÃ), racconta le vicende di un gruppo di radical chic al tempo della crisi. Tra attacchi di panico, sedute di pilates, finti loft, spritz, amori non corrisposti, e molte ansie da salto sociale. Un viaggio nell'Italia che siamo diventati, dove la vecchia arte di arrangiarsi si nasconde tra i festival letterari e lo slow food, e la patina del buon gusto dissimula a malapena gli appetiti di chi il potere lo gestisce e dei tanti che lo sognano. Piega all'angolo sup.di alcune carte.…

Condition: Buono USATO. I. Varia ITALIANO Da Prada ai Ferragnez, ritratti della vera nobilitÃ" italiana. Quella senza blasone. Chi sono e cosa fanno i ricchi in Italia, oggi? Quelli che i soldi li hanno da sempre, gli aristocratici, ne hanno sempre meno. E la borghesia, col suo tanto decantato fascino discreto e con lÃoperositÃ" instancabile? E i nuovi ricchi, quelli delle start up, che diventano milionari in una notte, esistono o sono solo una specie dÃoltreoceano? Con il piglio del naturalista Michele Masneri inizia un esilarante viaggio attraverso il bel Paese alla scoperta di questa specie facoltosa, deciso a descriverne vizi, virt e abitudini. Partiamo da Milano che, dimenticata la nebbia che si taglia con il coltello grazie al riscaldamento globale, à diventata lÃhabitat ideale delle ricche famiglie italiane. Ci sono i Prada, i Moratti e i parvenu Ferragnez. Passiamo poi a Torino. Fino a qualche anno fa epicentro identitario molto conscio del suo essere stata la prima capitale dÃItalia, ora invece sembra fare fatica a star dietro ai cambiamenti del nuovo secolo. E cosý le due principali dinastie locali, gli Agnelli-Elkann e i De Benedetti, sono pi ritirate e slegate dai destini della cittÃ" e anche della nazione. Ed eccoci arrivati alla Capitale. Trovare una borghesia non folkloristica a Roma sembra quasi una missione disperata. Del resto, in una cittÃ" in cui il lavoro non à un tema di conversazione nà un obiettivo reale di alcuno perchà mai uno dovrebbe aspirare a fare le grand bourgeois? Eppure qualche famiglia che ha scelto Roma come suo habitat esiste, e merita di essere descritta. E poi cÃà la provincia, sterminata e mutevole: in fondo lÃItalia à fatta di provincia. Ed à proprio lei, con i suoi capannoni e le sue fabbrichette a essersi maggiormente trasformata con la globalizzazione. LÃincontro tra la provincia e i social poi ha creato un mistone esplosivo, quasi postmoderno, rendendo queste terre lÃambiente ideale della pi o meno nuova ricchezza. Dai Beretta ai Trussardi fino ad arrivare ai à verià Agnelli, i re delle pentole non meno orgogliosi degli omonimi pi celebri. Con "Dinastie" Michele Masneri ci regala unÃindimenticabile galleria di ritratti delle pi ricche famiglie italiane. E con la sua penna raffinata, ironica e a tratti graffiante, ci consegna un irresistibile affresco di costume del nostro Paese. Con sovraccoperta, presenza di sporadiche segnature a matita.…
