dello sport. Inglese-italiano, italiano-inglese A cura di Giuseppe Ragazzini Zanichelli L. 78.000 pp. 608 It couldn't be but the Zanichelli - the traditional publisher in the field of dictionaries - to publish this dictionary about the sport language, issuing 9.000 entries in the English section and as far as 31.000 in the Italian one. Since the mass of the volume the reader can deduce that the consistency the sport terminology has reached in coincidence with the even higher attention the mass media devote to sport. It's well known that the major disciplines are strictly related to an Anglo-Saxon origin slang. But this volume does not concern only fans, but it's a real scientific tool useful for translators and more in general to whom must be familiar with the slang for professional reasons. |

L’ospite
celeste Nico Orengo Einaudi pp. 131 L. 24.000 Nico
Orengo, a storyteller and poet from Turin has already behind him several
works, very appreciate by critic. Defining "L'ospite celeste" as a novel
is a little reckless, if by novel it's meant the tale of a story with
a well defined underlying theme. We recommend Orengo to whom likes a literature
that, even not being strictly experimental, is featured by allusiveness
and vagueness; readers searching mere escape must apply for something
else. |
| A
prima vista (At first sight, 1999) Regia di Irwin Winkler, con Val Kilmer, Mira Sorvino e Kelly Mc Gillis Warner Home Video The title,
even in English is not among the most original, but the picture succeeds
in preventing the dull tone fitting sometimes certain subjects. The history
is that of a man who blind from he was three years old, recovers thanks
to a miraculous surgery operation, and then he loses his sight again.

Fino
a prova contraria (The crime, 1999) Regia di C. Eastwood, con C. Eastwood, I. Washington e D. Leary Warner Home Video From being an actor, perfect for the action Eastwood has turned to a refined author, even if going on his career of a tough guy a little getting on in years. Clint Eastwood has arranged a breathtaking thriller where he act as a reporter against the general trend that extemporizes as a detective to save the life to an under a death sentence, but really innocent. Once more Eastwood hits the mark. |
