Quando vuoi fare un regalo e non hai un'idea precisa di cosa regalare, bisognerebbe donare un libro. Non c'è bisogno di una ricorrenza specifica: è sempre bello donare un libro. Veicola sempre un messaggio, un'idea, un sogno. Peccato che ogni volta che regalo un libro, il più delle volte la gente si incazzi...

If you want to make a gift and you have no idea about what to buy, well donating a book it's always a good choice. It's no necessary to wait for a specific occasion: it's always something good.

I. Buruma, A. Margalit: "Occidentalism"

An interesting essay on the concept of "Occidentalism" or the modalities through which the idea of Western culture and society has been translated in other cultural contexts and how western society and culture are considered, perceived and interpreted in other cultural scenarios.

This is a good and well written book dealing with very topical issues.

Maybe not indispensable in a private library but I suggest its reading also to young readers.
