These works of supreme imagination demonstrate the breadth of Levi's graceful writing, extraordinary wit and keen scientific mind, as they explore the evolution of our technological culture—its effects on our daily lives, on our emotions, on our sex lives and on our children. Brilliantly conceived, Levi's tales reflect his search for a more perfect world—one without sorrow or pain, greed and murder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeeping a focus on scientific advancements, Levi conjures up remarkable new machines, including one that can duplicate anything, even human beings; another that feeds the hungry by dropping milk into gigantic pits; and a drug that converts all pain into pleasure. In the title story, Levi portrays a world assembled by a scientific committee, replacing the biblical creator, and his panel of experts wildly debates the most efficient body for humans—eliminating fish and bird bodies only at the end of a fierce battle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout, Levi's stories—sometimes extremely funny, sometimes darkly portentous—reveal his concern with how scientific advancement changes the world and its people. These works of fantasy serve as delightful reminders that science must serve human needs and that neither can work without the other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume includes all short stories from Storie Naturali and part of those published in Vizio di forma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"FeaturedDetails\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"publicationInfo\"\u003eFirst published January 1, 1966\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Button__container\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Good \/ Paperback \/ Primo Levi","offer_id":44799309775146,"sku":"9780349101866","price":17.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/files\/1222918.jpg?v=1683096169"},{"product_id":"number-12","title":"Number 11 (The Winshaw Legacy #2)","description":"\u003cp\u003eJonathan Coe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis is a novel about the hundreds of tiny connections between the public and private worlds and how they affect us all.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's about the legacy of war and the end of innocence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's about how comedy and politics are battling it out and comedy might have won.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's about how 140 characters can make fools of us all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's about living in a city where bankers need cinemas in their basements and others need food banks down the street.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is Jonathan Coe doing what he does best ­- showing us how we live now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFirst published November 1, 2015\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Very Good \/ Paperback \/ Jonathan Coe","offer_id":44801607827754,"sku":"9780241967010","price":28.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/files\/29613520.jpg?v=1683135694"},{"product_id":"ru","title":"Ru","description":"\u003cp\u003eKim Thuy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eI came into the world during the Tet Offensive, in the early days of the Year of the Monkey...\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRu: In Vietnamese it means lullaby; in French it is a small stream, but also signifies a flow - of tears, blood, money.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRu\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e follows the flow of a life on the tides of unrest and on to more peaceful waters.

At the heart of his history lie questions of compelling importance for Britain's future as well as its past: What makes or breaks a nation? To whom do we give our allegiance and why? And where do the boundaries of our community lie - in our hearth or home, our village or city, tribe or faith? What is Britain - one country or many, one culture or several?

The great and the wicked are here - Becket and Thomas Cromwell, Robert the Bruce and Anne Boleyn - but so are countless more ordinary lives: an Irish monk waiting for the plague to kill him in his cell at Kilkenny; a small boy running through the streets of London to catch a glimpse of Elizabeth I. They are all caught on the rich and teeming canvas on which Schama paints his brilliant portrait of the life of the British people: 'for in the end, history, especially British history with its succession of thrilling illuminations, should be, as all her most accomplished narrators have promised, not just instruction but pleasure.'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFirst published January 1, 2000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Very Good \/ Hardcover \/ Simon Schama","offer_id":44846283063594,"sku":"9780563384977","price":40.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/files\/1166225.jpg?v=1683746670"},{"product_id":"the-sea","title":"The Sea","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Banville\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this luminous novel about love, loss, and the unpredictable power of memory, John Banville introduces us to Max Morden, a middle-aged Irishman who has gone back to the seaside town where he spent his summer holidays as a child to cope with the recent loss of his wife.

Its presentation of the life both in the burgeoning capital of London and in the countryside includes 16 pages of full-color and black-and-white photographs, as well as discussion of the costumes of the period, modes of travel, food and medicine, sports and pastimes, and the amazing explosion of English drama that would make the name of William Shakespeare a household word for all time.

Author Bernard Clayton spent years visiting boulangeries both famous and unknown, collecting authentic bread recipes from some of the most esteemed bakers in France. The resulting treasure trove includes such classic regional breads as Petits Pains au Chocolat from Bracieux, Pain de Campagne from the Parisian master baker Poilâne, and Pumpkin-Cornmeal Bread from the French Basque country. Clayton’s recipes are written in a unique step-by-step style—instructions lucid and complete, questions anticipated and answered—that evolved from his experiences teaching bread-baking classes. Filled with delightful vignettes of French culture, history, and bread-baking lore and charming black-and-white photographs, The Breads of France is not just a glorious collection of bread recipes—it’s a window onto the world’s richest, most storied bread-baking tradition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DescListItem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"contentContainer\" class=\"TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--small\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eMarch 1, 2004 by Ten Speed Press\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Good \/ Hardcover \/ Bernard Clayton","offer_id":46272625541418,"sku":"9781580083898","price":22.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/files\/557880.jpg?v=1692858173"},{"product_id":"offshore","title":"Offshore","description":"\u003cp\u003ePenelope Fitzgerald\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePenelope Fitzgerald’s Booker Prize-winning novel of loneliness and connecting is set among the houseboat community of the Thames and has a new introduction from Alan Hollinghurst.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn Battersea Reach, a mixed bag of the temporarily lost and the patently eccentric live on houseboats, rising and falling with the tide of the Thames.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is good-natured Maurice, by occupation a male prostitute, by chance a receiver of stolen goods.
