Il nostro Meridione è uno scrigno che racchiude alcune delle tessere più preziose di quell’ampio mosaico di diversità naturalistiche, culturali, storiche e architettoniche che è il nostro Paese, ma è anche un territorio in gran parte trascurato dai suoi stessi abitanti, che non lo conoscono abbastanza e troppo spesso lo maltrattano. In questo viaggio di 3.500 chilometri nell’Italia del Sud, fra le isole maggiori e la terraferma, il blogger a due ruote Fabio Saracino ci accompagna alla riscoperta di luoghi gravidi di storia e di gente squisitamente aperta e ospitale, facendoci condividere l’incanto dei paesaggi più abbaglianti, il mare più pulito, i colori più vividi, l’architettura più spettacolare, i tramonti più straordinari. Un racconto pieno di vita e di passione che potrà coinvolgere e catturare gli amanti della bicicletta come i cultori della letteratura di viaggio, nonché chiunque voglia guardare con occhi diversi la bellezza struggente e dimenticata della nostra terra.

Destination Casablanca Exile Espionage and the Battle for North Africa in World War II Meredith Hindley 9781541762718 Books Reviews
- First-rate history writing, and a suspenseful page-turner even though we know how it all came out. (Spoiler alert the Allies win.) Hindley has full command of the history of the operation and of the people involved, and the pacing and thoroughness of her writing never lag. Depictions of the people involved -- Americans, Europeans, Moroccans -- amount to fully rounded portraits, but she never tries to speculate beyond the facts at her command, derived from diaries, letters, official memoirs and other documents. Descriptions of the physical surroundings and their importance are also helpful and very effective. I originally got the book because I thought it would be fun to have the actual historical context for the Bogart/Bergman movie, but in the process of reading I've gotten so caught up in the real story that it's taken complete precedence over the flick -- the history of the invasion and the ensuing battles and outcomes are thrilling even though (as I've said) we know the outcome. Wonderfully informative and energizing book, start to finish, and highly recommended.
- Having lived in 'Fedala' and worked in Casablanca in the mid-70's, and being a student of WWII, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It brought back so many personal memories of my days there and how I had blithely walked those streets without a clue of what had gone on just 30 years prior.
The book explains, in detail, the splitting of WWII France into Nazi / Vichy Sectors, the Vichy military and governmental struggles to keep its North Africa colonies, as well as the personalities and interplay among the American, British, Spanish, German Consulates, Attaches, and Informants who were all jockeying for information, position and the upper hand. This backdrop leads on to explain how the American & British Governments sifted all the gathered intelligence and realized its need for North African seaports and bases in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Also the need for an invasion force including Eisenhower, Patton, Mark Clark and their successes and failures. This, and so-o-o-o much more fills over 400 pages of detail--all documented and thoroughly researched by the author. If you want to know all about those aspects of WWII and its contribution to the allies' overall success, then this book is for you. - This history of the Allies’ invasion of North Africa has three parts the background, the battles, and the aftermath. You will need to exercise a bit of patience when you read the background of the story because it seems to take forever for the Allies—meaning the U.S. and Great Britain in this case—to decide on an invasion plan. I was confused by the chapters on Vichy France because there were too many characters in that story and the politics were murky. Were the leaders of Vichy Frances collaborators with the Nazis or just loyalists trying to save their country in any way possible? But when the author finally gets to the invasion and subsequent battles, this book gets really fascinating. She weaves together the military matters and the fascinating characters involved, like the superstar Josephine Baker, the Freud family in exile in Casablanca, and William Donovan, who created the OSS, progenitor of the CIA. The story of Operation Torch is particularly interesting because it was the first counterstrike against the Germans since they had blitzkrieged their way across Europe only to get mired down in Russia. Had Rommel been successful in North Africa and repelled, say, the attack on Algiers, he could have taken Egypt and the Suez Canal and the Nazis would have controlled the Mediterranean. But neither Rommel nor any other German leaders learned about the coming invasions—they were caught totally by surprise, and the Allies’ seizure of French North Africa was the key to the invasion of Italy. The aftermath of Operation Torch was not nearly as interesting as the battles until the final chapters that incorporate the mystique of Casablanca as reflected in the Humphrey Bogart movie, which was released before the actual invasions. All in all, Destination Casablanca is a well researched story that is brilliantly told.
- Now I know the background for one of the best movies of all time, Bogarts Casablanca. It’s all true, the intrigue, the characters, the danger, for some the ambivalence. But no one is ambivalent in this well documented and true account of this city and it’s exotic surroundings. I’m an avid reader of WWII history and prehistory and this is the most interesting, captivating and entertaining account of the events, complete with historical context and star entertainers, politicians, generals, diplomats, spies, political prisoners, leading to the American invasion of North Africa in 1942. Free and Vichy French leaders, German spies and Nazi policies, antisemitism, labor camps and prisons, the French Foreign Legion, deserters, resistance cells, Patton, Hewitt, Roosevelt, Churchill, all the major and countless less remembered players are involved in this lead up to America’s first major amphibious assault of WWII, Operation Torch. All of it is seen through the prism of mysterious Casablanca, nearby towns and villages, the desert and mountains of Morocco, Tunisia and the Mediterranean. Great read full of detailed history.
- I enjoyed this book even more than I thought I would. I'm not really a history buff but I really enjoyed the movie "Casablanca" which led me to buy this book. This book tells you what was going on before, during, and after the movie. We've all heard about Rommel and Patton. This is the story of what led up to the North Africa campaign.
- A fascinating account of Morocco & it’s most famous city that many of us only know from the movie of the same name. The story tells the tale by weaving the many fascinating characters who resided there or visited there into the city’s complex happenings.

Download As PDF : The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life Audible Audio Edition Mark Manson Roger Wayne HarperAudio BooksIn this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be positive all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.Â
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.Â
Manson makes the argument, backed by both academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited - "not everybody can be extraordinary; there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault". Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.Â
There are only so many things we can give a f*ck about, so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.Â

"What I like the most about this book is that my initial thought of; "This will be a good read- I'll probably get a provoking thought or two out of it", turned into, "Wow. This book has literally changed my life, for the better." Since I've finished it, I recommended it to four people, two of which have acquired the book, and I even got an extra copy as a gift for a friend. I intend to read this book every couple years or so for the times I need to be reminded of what improved my life so much in the first place. This is an easy read- yet written on a sophisticated level (despite the title), and I looked forward to every bit of free time I could dedicate to reading it. There were times I laughed, got teary eyed, and most importantly said, "hmmm, I never thought of it like that before..." I recommend this book to anyone who is open to changing their mindset, and can understand irony. Obviously the title is not instructing the reader to stop taking care in interest in EVERYTHING, so if that thought never crossed your mind upon reading the title, then I suggest you read this."

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life Audible Audio Edition Mark Manson Roger Wayne HarperAudio Books Reviews
- A great read. A very entertaining romp through philosophical thought by a skilled wordsmith, but I would say the age cut-off for this book is 50. Beyond 50, you've probably already learned most of the lessons in this book the hard way, however, I can see where it can be extremely helpful for a generation that spends most of its waking hours posting narcissistic selfies on their iphones. Manson gives you the blueprints to get your head out of your ass, (or out of your phone) take a hard look at yourself and the real world around you, and shed many of the illusions you've been slowly poisoning your life with. If you're a millennial, or even a disenchanted X-gen, pick up this book. It will give you at least a more healthy point of view. But, if you're over 50, you're not going to find anything new in here except entertainment.
- I've read quite a few "self-help" books in the last 30 or so years, always curious to see what the writers have to contribute. I went in with an open mind, but could barely finish this book. While there were some good points made early on (such as, we should concentrate on things that matter, like family and friends), there was little substance in about 150 pages of this 200 page book. Mr. Manson describes in detail the thoughts of several deceased persons, from Beatles drummer Pete Best to a WWII Japanese soldier, but does not reference the sources of his information. He theorizes that many of women's accusations of sexual misconduct by men are "false memories" and that men have been harmed in the process without recognizing the impact of this very real phenomenon of sexual misconduct on our culture. Regarding his account of how sometimes his wife "doesn't look great", and he suggests she change her clothes/hairstyle....just, wow. We'll see how that works out when she attains some confidence.
I have to think that his "wildly popular" blog is followed primarily by readers much younger than Mr. Manson. When his followers mature, I think the writer would be well-suited for a job in search engine optimization. He has figured out that the most commonly searched word is f *ck.
Unfortunately, I bought a hard copy of the book -- will likely just throw in the trash. - What I like the most about this book is that my initial thought of; "This will be a good read- I'll probably get a provoking thought or two out of it", turned into, "Wow. This book has literally changed my life, for the better." Since I've finished it, I recommended it to four people, two of which have acquired the book, and I even got an extra copy as a gift for a friend. I intend to read this book every couple years or so for the times I need to be reminded of what improved my life so much in the first place. This is an easy read- yet written on a sophisticated level (despite the title), and I looked forward to every bit of free time I could dedicate to reading it. There were times I laughed, got teary eyed, and most importantly said, "hmmm, I never thought of it like that before..." I recommend this book to anyone who is open to changing their mindset, and can understand irony. Obviously the title is not instructing the reader to stop taking care in interest in EVERYTHING, so if that thought never crossed your mind upon reading the title, then I suggest you read this.
- As someone who has given far too many f***s about far too many things their entire life, this book was exactly the wake up call I needed. Even as a child in elementary school, I would have a miniature meltdown when I got a bad grade or if a friend was mean to me that day. As an adult, I got better at hiding these emotional upheavals and intense reactions to the world around me, but they never really went away with my maturity like I had hoped. I took to heart every disheartening news article I read and every crappy thing that happened to me at work or in school. I'd let it consume me, because I was never told to live life any other way or that controlling my reactions was even remotely possible; I thought it was just a permanent part of my personality. I always knew that it was more of a vice than a virtue, but I felt like I couldn't fully control it.
Mark Manson's The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*** employs a witty use of profanity laced with satirical comedy that's bursting with philosophical wisdom. Much of Manson's inspiration originates from nihilists, Buddhists, Albert Camus, and Charles Bukowski, but he brings those philosophies into a more modern and palatable perspective. He reminds us that life is too short to react so passionately about every little thing. We have a limited emotional capacity, and we often squander it on reactions to mean-spirited people or unfortunate events, completely forgetting that, although we can't control the world around us, we can control ourselves. This book has empowered me to exercise control over my reactions.
Shortly after reading this book, my husband commented at how "zen" I've become. I'm no longer angrily venting to him about all of the various ways the world upsets me. I still allow myself to feel and talk about things that bother me (I'm not aiming to achieve nirvana as a Buddhist monk), but petty things no longer have a hold on me. I let the negativity wash over me now without letting it absorb into my soul, and my life has been much more enjoyable as a result.
I was so inspired by this book and its philosophy, that I wanted a permanent reminder for myself to further ensure that I use my f***s wisely from now onward. For my birthday, I got this simple, but meaningful tattoo on my right wrist. The ∞ symbol reminds me of the infinite nature of time and outer space, and the 0 on the bottom represents humanity's relevance to time and space as a whole. It can also be translated as don't make something (∞) out of nothing (0) or a reminder that there are infinite opportunities to give a f***, but that I will remain steadfast in giving 0 f***s about things that don't really matter.
If you're the type of person who's struggled to keep their temper in line or if you're like me and you find yourself on an emotional roller-coaster because you take every event in the world and within your own life to heart, I strongly encourage you to read this book. If profanity is so much of a problem for you, that you can't tolerate reading the first half of this book (the last half is much less profane) you're probably too narrow-minded to have taken away any of the many philosophical benefits this book offers.
