Essere esposti alla lettura ad alta voce allena la comprensione, le abilità necessarie per poter leggere anche da soli e permette di trarre profitto dal percorso scolastico. Un’esposizione prolungata e improntata alla bibliovarietà favorisce un rapporto positivo con i libri.

The term "resentment" has dominated US news analysis since November 2016. Despite its increased use, this word seems to defy easy categorization. Does "resentment" describe many interlocking sentiments, or is it just another way of saying "anger"? Does it suggest an irrational grievance, as opposed to a legitimate callout of injustice?

Schneider explores these questions and more, moving from eighteenth-century Britain to the aftermath of the French Revolution to social movements throughout the twentieth century.

Nesta obra, Nietzsche investiga o alcance efetivo da linguagem, sobre a qual se assenta todo o conhecimento da civilização ocidental. Para ele, a confiança do homem moderno no poder das palavras se funda no esquecimento de algo que era evidente quando as criou: elas são apenas uma metáfora para as coisas e jamais poderiam encarnar o seu significado.Esta obra foi ditada pelo autor a um amigo no verão de 1873, mas só foi publicada após a sua morte.
