Описание: Since 2008, Niall Allsop and his wife Kay have lived in a small Calabrian hilltop town, Santa Severina. In the town's square one summer he bumped into a man from New Jersey who was enjoying a vacation back in the town of his birth. Gino Sculco told him how his father had emigrated in 1920, returned to Calabria and emigrated again in 1960, the second time accompanied by one of his sons. In 1967 Gino and his wife Sina followed in their footsteps. Niall Allsop was so intrigued by the Sculco family's story that he decided to travel to America to find out more about what motivated them and other Calabrian families who emigrated and to what extent their American Dream had become a reality. Niall visited families in New Mexico, New York, New Jersey, Illinois and Wisconsin and met and heard about people whose resolve and enterprise was as breathtaking as their stories were touching and unique. From the man who always thanked Uncle Sam when his monthly pension check arrived to the woman who emigrated alone, and from the man with three families to the man who emigrated three times, Thank you Uncle Sam is packed with real-life characters to make you laugh, cry and wonder at their capacity for survival. Some families went to America early in the twentieth century; others as recently as the 1960s. Some stories are intriguing and complex; others straightforward and predictable. Some of the people Niall met were in their, sixties, seventies or eighties; others mere youngsters in comparison. Sometimes he spent just a few hours with them; sometimes he stayed overnight or longer. Sometimes he knew quite a lot about the family before he met them; usually almost nothing. Some he had already met; most were total strangers. The stories and experiences of all are both unique and commonplace-they are no more than people's subjective memories, stories and occasional skeletons, shared with a stranger. Niall Allsop travelled to America early in November 2012-just after Hurricane Sandy devasted parts of New York and New Jersey and just before the Presidential election; he also spent Thanksgiving with a Calabrian-American family in Wisconsin. Not surprisingly therefore Thank you Uncle Sam is also a travelogue, the story of other people, places and cars that he encountered along the way.

Описание: Calabria is not a guide to Calabria but rather a book about Calabria. Since 1777, when Henry Swinburne, first travelled in Calabria in search of Magna Gr cia (Calabria's Greek heritage), and then wrote about his experiences, there have been a further dozen travellers, including one woman, who have written travelogues in English (as opposed to travel guides) about Italy's remote toe. Some, like Edward Lear, George Gissing and Norman Douglas, became well-known literary figures in other fields but most were just educated people with time on their hands for whom travelling in the south of Italy was a huge adventure, perhaps fuelled by the adrenalin of the pioneer. What also made them different is that they shared their experiences: frequently with humour, usually with empathy, occasionally with arrogance but always with the curiosity and insight of the traveller, as opposed to the tourist. Until Italian unification (1860), Calabria was part of the Two Sicilies, the largest and wealthiest part of the Italian peninsula which included the regions south of Naples (the capital) and Sicily itself. Because of its remoteness and lack of an adequate transport infrastructure it was-and to some extent still is-viewed as an inhospitable and unappealing place, home to brigands and bandits and incoherent natives of doubtful ancestry. Post-unification, Calabria remained a place that few had heard of, still fewer visited; even the most recent such traveller, Henry Morton, was not unaware that, even in 1967, he was breaking new ground. Because such travelogues have never been viewed as historical sources in themselves, sometimes the writers' first-hand experiences throw new light on accepted, home-grown, myths about the region, such as the deaths of Alaric the Goth and Joachim Murat, the Fratelli Bandiera escapade and the brigand Musolino myth. While occasionally Calabria retells Calabrian history it is, above all else, a fusion of the experiences and impressions of thirteen travelling pioneers alongside those of the author, himself a traveller to Calabria, albeit one who stayed, made it his home and has immersed himself in its past and its present and its present and will be a part of its future. It is worth repeating that Calabria is not a guide to Calabria but rather a book about Calabria: written with empathy, insight and wit, Calabria unveils, through the eyes of the traveller, a part of Italy that, even today, few know well. Calabria's thematic format includes chapters on every facet of life, past and present, atop Italy's remote toe: from Magna Gr cia to amusing episodes; from spectacular mountains to devastating earthquakes; from remarkable people to the scourge of the mafia. Without doubt Calabria is the definitive book on Calabria in English.
