The americanization of Edward Bok. E-book. Formato EPUB Edward Bok - Partridge Edizioni, 2016 -
This Pulitzer Prize-winning autobiography charmingly chronicles the life of Edward Bok, the longtime editor of The Ladies Home Journal and a noted philanthropist. Bok wrote of his eventful life, "Every life has some interest and significance; mine, perhaps, a special one. Here was a little Dutch boy unceremoniously set down in America unable to make himself understood or even to know what persons were saying; his education was extremely limited, practically negligible; and yet, by curious decree of fate, he was destined to write, for a period of years, to the largest body of readers ever addressed by an American editor. . . ." Perhaps Bok's success was due to his willingness to champion progressive causes to the wide readership of The Ladies Home Journal. Bok advocated women's suffrage, saving the environment, public sex education, education on prenatal care and children's health, and pacifism. EDWARD BOK (1863-1930), American Pulitzer Prize-winning author, was born in Den Helder, The Netherlands, and came to the United States in 1869. He edited The Ladies Home Journal for 30 years. During that time, it became the first magazine to reach one million subscribers. Bok also wrote books such as Successward and America Give Me a Chance. He established a number of civic programs and awards, including the American Peace Award, the Harvard Advertising Awards, and the Philadelphia Commission.

Povero Cristo. E-book. Formato EPUB Mario Mariani - Partridge Edizioni, 2022 -
Il romanzo, pubblicato da Sonzogno nel 1920, ha come protagonista Gesualdo Cristofari. Un male incurabile e le vicende della vita tramutano quest'uomo in un "povero Cristo" abbandonato, arrabbiato e stanco. Solo le sue idee continuano a sostenerlo e dargli la forza di attendere quel grande "sole rosso" che dissiperà quelle "nuvole nere" che avviluppano un mondo dominato da morale, industria, religione, complici nel sottomettere un popolo che ha combattuto nella Grande Guerra ma che ne è uscito affamato, stremato, ferito.
