Catalogo N°42 1 Parma inverno 2017 Il catalogo ha compiuto ventun anni e per il suo autore sono stati un lungo tratto di strada in una attività nuova e appassionante. I bramini dedicavano la terza età alla riflessione, l’autore alla lettura e alla vicinanza con le avventure dello spirito e l’esplorazione del mondo allora ancora in parte da scoprire. Così felicemente ci avviamo sull’ultimo tratto di questo sentiero, dopo l’infanzia, gli studi, il servizio dello Stato, il mondo delle imprese alimentari per quasi quarant’anni, e finalmente i libri. Anche questo mondo (quello dei libri) ha subito trasformazioni profonde, non tutte accettate da chi ha molti anni e poca familiarità con la tecnologia. Una delle sorprese positive è sicuramente il progresso nella qualità della stampa delle immagini: basta confrontare le fotografie negli ultimi libri di Van Ham sulle spendide pitture nei templi di Rinchenzanpo con quelle di pochi anni prima nel pur eccellente volume su Tabo della Klinburg Salter (Tabo a lamp for the Kingdom 1997). Anche nella realtà ci sono cambiamenti epocali, che per fortuna hanno salvaguardato i contenuti: confronto ad esempio la foto di Ghersi sul complesso dei templi com’era nel 1933 con la realtà di oggi nel volume del 2016 di Van Ham (Guge ages of gold). Questo mi ricorda un’altra esperienza recente che che riguarda il confronto tra le immagini dello stupa sotto le rovine del castello di Karsha (Karsha ovest, di fronte a Padum nello Zanskar) tra il 2009 e il 2017: lo stupa in rovina è stato restaurato salvando le statue dell’interno e le pitture antiche (dodicesimo secolo) sulle pareti e sul tetto. Per farlo i monaci hanno sconsacrato lo stupa, sono stati eseguiti i restauri e lo stupa è stato riconsacrato. Opera meritoria di salvaguardia di un patrimaonio artistico importante, anche se lo stupa nel suo biancore accecante e nelle dimensioni accresciute contrasta con una certa violenza con l’aspetto morbido del paesaggio. Il confronto è disponibile sul nostro sito tra le foto della glleria (Zanskar 2017). Nuovamente abbiamo ripercorso questi splendidi luoghi in un magico ottobre favorito da cieli di un blu profondo godendo di paesaggi straordinari, percorrendo strade faticose ma che si addentrano tra meravigliose valli a tre - quattromila metri di quota, che aprono la vista su vallate laterali chiuse da immensi muri di roccia, coperti di scintillanti ghiacciai che scendono spesso quasi a lambire la strada. Qui ogni villaggio offre testimonianze della fede in secoli lontani, il ricordo del grande Csoma de Koros nel nido d’aquila del castello di Zangla, i Buddha cosmici scavati nel sasso a Padum, le cerimonie di purificazione nel monastero di Bardan, le splendide testimonianze Kagyupa nei monasteri e nei templi dello Spiti con i loro mandala miracolosamente sopravvisuti a secoli di barbarie, di lotte, di invasioni ostili da parte dei mongoli, alle insidie dei terremoti che regolarmente le hanno minacciate: i nomi sfilano nella memoria, con luminosa nitidezza, Lalung, Nako, Tabo, la più celebre di tutte anche se forse non la più emozionante, i piccoli misteri di Ropa, visitata alla luce delle pile, la biblioteca di Kanum e, ultima, la scoperta di Charang conquistata a prezzo di difficoltà e di un pò di fortuna, con le sue divinità insolitamente benevole e sorridenti. Arte e paesaggi ma non solo, ci sono villaggi minuscoli e sperduti nell’oceano di pietra della montagne che incombono, realtà arcaiche che sopravvivono ancora per poco con gli yak che trebbiano l’orzo appena raccolto girando attorno al palo sull’aia sotto l’incitamento dei contadini, e le stufe che bruciano il dung con il fumo che spesso acceca gli astanti. Ci sono piccoli edifici in pietra in ampie radure sotto cime immense, dove diversi villaggi radunano le mandrie per produrre in comune latte, yogurt e formaggi. 2 Anche qui troviamo cambiamenti veloci, il turismo indiano cresce ogni anno e ovunque si nota la febbre delle costruzioni per nuove strutture ricettive, soprattutto nei centri maggiori come Kargil, Padum e Keylong: penso a come saranno questi posti negli anni che non vedremo, ma per ora ci scaldiamo al ricordo delle ore felicemente passate in una vita di carovana così diversa dallo scorrere dei giorni di qui. Ma torniamo ai libri, molti dei quali peraltro parlano di questi posti e della loro cultura: in questo catalogo (ignoro se e quanti ancora ne verranno) ho cercato di proporre buoni tioli a condizioni più vantaggiose per i clienti fedeli. Un augurio per il 2018 e buone letture.

  • Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents
    Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer.

Box 616 6200 MD Maastricht The Netherlands tel: +31-43-3883636 fax: +31-43-3884878 e-mail: [email protected] Prepared for the Business Library Review. Abstract The recent Bertelsmann buy-out of Springer ends 157 years of fiercely independent scholarly publishing. On Tuesday February 16, 1999, the European Commission decided that, although both companies are active in professional publishing, the takeover does not raise any competitive objections because they have different focuses in that (professional) market. "The market share increase through the merger is limited", the Commission said. "Consequently, the concentration has been declared compatible with the common market."1 This review article recalls the formidable history of this science publisher and its role in helping establish entire fields of science and technology. In particular, the role of this independent privately- held publishing company in confronting attempts infringing upon academic freedom is being emphasized. JEL codes: I28, L41, N44 keyword: science publishing 1 Wall Street Journal Europe, Wednesday, February 17, 1999, p. 5 On February 16, 1999, the European Commission allowed Bertelsmann's taking over the science publisher Springer-Verlag. Thus, a 157-year old privately-held company ceased to exist as an independent entity, a force that had shaped the landscape of scholarly publishing. Bertelsmann AG is the world's largest book publisher, and it is among the world's largest media companies.

Have you ever been in the beautiful islantrs of Hawaii? To think of these islands in the far Pacific, causes a restful minute of speculative thought as to what would happen if you were suddenly ushered upon the scene of bustle and enterprise, evident in the larger towns of this land. Nine chances to one, you would stand open mouthed, wondering if your eyes were truthful in seeing such commercial spirit coming from residents of a country so torrid. There is a reason for this tremendous increase in business transacted; it cannot alone be credited to the American residents, for other countries are largely represented. But a greater amount of business enterprise can be laid at the door of America, through its efforts to educate the people of the island in American methods.This is illustrated by the following letter which we received from a Hawaiian resident.- PAPAIKOU, July 20, 1910.

    THE RANDOM HOUSE PUBLISHING GROUP Ballantine Books . Bantam Books . Delacorte Press . Dell . Delta . Del Rey . ESPN Books . One World . Spectra . Villard Contact: Sharon Propson, 212-782-9008/ [email protected] The highly-anticipated new Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes installment! “THE GOD OF THE HIVE is mesmerizing--another wonderful novel etched by the hand of a master storyteller. No reader who opens this one will be disappointed.” --Michael Connelly THE GOD OF THE HIVE By New York Times and Edgar Award-winning author Laurie R. King To be published as a Bantam Books Hardcover on April 27, 2010 Praise for Laurie R. King’s Mary Russell/ Sherlock Holmes series: “The great marvel of Laurie King’s [Mary Russell] series is that she’s managed to preserve the integrity of Holmes’s character and yet somehow conjure up a woman astute, edgy, and compelling enough to be the partner of his mind as well as his heart.” —The Washington Post Book World “Audacious… Mary Russell is never less than fascinating company.” —Los Angeles Times “Good historical fiction is as close as we’ll ever get to time travel, and historical fiction doesn’t get any better than this.” —The Denver Post “Of the many fine writers currently adding to the canon of stories about [Holmes], the nimblest is Laurie R. King….Splendid fun.” —The Seattle Times “Excellent….King never forgets the true spirit of Conan Doyle.” —Chicago Tribune Critics have applauded New York Times bestselling, Edgar Award-winning author Laurie R. King’s lively and intelligent recasting of the iconic character of Sherlock Holmes with Mary Russell, a wife and partner of equal wit and cleverness, as “the most successful recreation of the famous inhabitant of 221B Baker Street ever attempted” (Houston Chronicle).
