El arte de la guerra ha provocado numerosos estudios y reinterpretaciones por parte de filósofos, historiadores, estrategas militares o artistas. Thoreau dice que la naturaleza no habla a través del poeta, sino junto a él. De la misma forma, las enseñanzas de Sun Tzu se despliegan de la mano de las esculturas realizadas por Ortega para la presente edición, que así amplía su estudio sobre esta obra, después de haber realizado una serie de películas basadas en el libro.

In otto, densi capitoli Primo Levi torna sull'esperienza dei Lager nazisti per leggerla non come un fatto conchiuso, un incidente della Storia, ma come una vicenda esemplare attraverso cui è possibile capire fin dove può giungere l'uomo nel ruolo del carnefice e in quello della vittima. Opera altissima sulla natura del male e sulla natura dell'uomo, "I sommersi e i salvati" rappresenta un contributo importante alla fondazione di una nuova, vigile coscienza critica.

Oggi questo celebre resoconto di un semplice sottoufficiale alpino che si trova a combattere nel settore centrale del fronte russo, proprio quando l'esercito dell'Unione Sovietica sferra il suo potente attacco demolitore, acquista rilievo speciale. Man mano che i fatti narrati si allontanano nel tempo, il diario del sergente diventa più intenso e assume i caratteri dell'esperienza perenne. La testimonianza scritta, rispetto agli eventi storico-geografici da cui è scaturita, intrattiene lo stesso rapporto che potremmo supporre fra la moneta e il suo conio.

Patton’s life was a patchwork of a hard-driving leadership style, a colorful and sarcastic personality, and a series of dire political missteps. His image is often contradictory. On one hand, he was a hot spark who could often fly off the handle and say and do things that were injurious to himself and others. On the other hand, he was a gifted orator whose capacity to inspire his troops was second to none. Reconciling those elements of his being can sometimes be a tricky proposition.
