Originally delivered as the prestigious Mellon Lectures on the Fine Arts in 1995, After the End of Art remains a classic of art criticism and philosophy, and continues to generate heated debate for contending that art ended in the 1960s. Arthur Danto, one of the best-known art critics of his time, presents radical insights into art's irrevocable deviation from its previous course and the decline of traditional aesthetics. He demonstrates the necessity for a new type of criticism in the face of contemporary art's wide-open possibilities. This Princeton Classics edition includes a new foreword by philosopher Lydia Goehr.

Widely regarded as one of Edith Wharton's greatest achievements, The Age of Innocence is not only subtly satirical, but also a sometimes dark and disturbing comedy of manners in its exploration of the 'eternal triangle' of love. Set against the backdrop of upper-class New York society during the 1870s, the author's combination of powerful prose combined with a thoroughly researched and meticulous evocation of the manners and style of the period, has delighted readers since the novel's first publication in 1920. In 1921 The Age of Innocence achieved a double distinction - it won the Pulitzer Prize and it was the first time this prestigious award had been won by a woman author.

**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER***Updated with a new afterword from the author* Kompromat n. Russian for "compromising information" This is a story about the dirty secrets of the most powerful people in the world including Donald Trump. It is based on exclusive interviews with dozens of high-level sources intelligence officers in the CIA, FBI, and the KGB; thousands of pages of FBI investigations, police investigations; and news articles in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. American Kompromat shows that from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, kompromat was used in operations far more sinister than the public could ever imagine. Among them, the book addresses what may be the single most important unanswered question of the entire Trump era: Is Donald Trump a Russian asset? The answer, American Kompromat says, is yes, and it supports that conclusion with the first richly detailed narrative on how the KGB allegedly first spotted Trump as a potential asset, how they cultivated him as an asset, arranged his first trip to Moscow, and pumped him full of KGB talking points that were published in three of America s most prestigious newspapers. Among its many revelations, American Kompromat reports for the first time that: According to Yuri Shvets, a former major in the KGB, Trump first did business over forty years ago with a Manhattan electronics store co-owned by a Soviet émigré who Shvets believes was working with the KGB. Trump s decision to do business there triggered protocols through which the Soviet spy agency began efforts to cultivate Trump as an asset, thus launching a decades-long relationship of mutual benefit to Russia and Trump, from real estate to real power. Trump s invitation to Moscow in 1987 was billed as a preliminary scouting trip for a hotel, but according to Shvets, was actually initiated by a high-level KGB official, General Ivan Gromakov. These sorts of trips were usually arranged for "deep development," recruitment, or for a meeting with the KGB handlers, even if the potential asset was unaware of it. Before Trump s first trip to Moscow, he met with Natalia Dubinina, who worked at the United Nations library in a vital position usually reserved as a cover for KGB operatives. In 1987, according to Shvets, the KGB circulated an internal cable hailing the successful execution of an active measure by a newly cultivated American asset who took out full page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe promoting policies promoted by the KGB. The ads had been taken out by Donald Trump, who, Shvets said, would become a special unofficial contact for the KGB, that is, an intelligence asset whose role has been compared to that of the late industrialist, Armand Hammer. A number of America s highest national security officials have said they believe Trump is a Russian asset, but neither the Mueller Report nor the numerous congressional investigations throughout Trump s presidency pursued that vital question. American Kompromat does. In addition to exploring Trump s ties to the KGB, American Kompromat also shows that from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, Russian komprom

At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals.

Quando nel maggio 1987 si venne a sapere che il marchio Bugatti era stato acquisito per farlo rinascere, il mondo dell'automobile iniziò a fibrillare. I protagonisti di questa iniziativa erano due: l'ingegner Paolo Stanzani (padre delle più prestigiose automobili Lamborghini) che aveva già iniziato a progettare una nuova vettura ancora prima dell'acquisizione effettiva del marchio, e un imprenditore molto appassionato di autoveicoli, impegnato con successo nella loro importazione dal Giappone e nella distribuzione di vetture Ferrari. Paolo Stanzani, amministratore unico della Bugatti Automobili, attivò, tra gli altri, Marcello Gandini, designer di fama internazionale e subito dopo Dario Trucco, autore di questo libro, incaricandolo di fare quanto necessario per progettare e costruire la carrozzeria dell'auto che Gandini stesso stava disegnando. Con investimenti modesti l'ing. Stanzani riuscì a realizzare il motopropulsore, tutta la meccanica, il telaio e la prima carrozzeria. E poi cosa successe? Il seguito l'hanno raccontato in tanti, a partire dall'imprenditore con un suo libro. Anche altri ne parlarono, e le opinioni espresse da ciascuno non potevano essere le più diverse. Come si poteva superare questa "impasse", figlia di una trama dalle mille verità? Semplice: interpellare tutte le persone che, con qualunque ruolo, avevano partecipato al progetto, raccogliere le loro testimonianze riportandole integralmente, fino a confezionare questo libro, che non poteva intitolarsi diversamente: Bugatti, la vera storia della EB110.
