Furio Colombo Boeken

Il giovane ricercatore Marco Mani, assunto alla Scuola come promessa dal brillante avvenire, cade vittima dello stesso esperimento a cui partecipa. Usato come pedina di giochi che non conosce, fra vecchi baroni e futuri premi Nobel, Mani si ritrova coinvolto in un delitto che ha occupato le cronache giudiziarie di questi anni e scatenato feroci polemiche. Sconta sulla propria pelle l'ambiguità con cui il Potere tesse le sue trame, volta le carte in tavola, gioca con l'esistenza dei singoli individui per continuare ad esistere. Sopra tutto, nonostante tutto. Ricalcando il linguaggio vacuo e arrogante che domina il mondo delle 'istituzioni' più o meno ufficiali, l'autore trascina il lettore in un vortice di storie pericolose.

We think we’re relating to other people–but actually we’re all playing games. Forty years ago, Games People Play revolutionized our understanding of what really goes on during our most basic social interactions. More than five million copies later, Dr. Eric Berne’s classic is as astonishing–and revealing–as it was on the day it was first published. This anniversary edition features a new introduction by Dr. James R. Allen, president of the International Transactional Analysis Association, and Kurt Vonnegut’s brilliant Life magazine review from 1965. We play games all the time–sexual games, marital games, power games with our bosses, and competitive games with our friends. Detailing status contests like “Martini” (I know a better way), to lethal couples combat like “If It Weren’t For You” and “Uproar,” to flirtation favorites like “The Stocking Game” and “Let’s You and Him Fight,” Dr. Berne exposes the secret ploys and unconscious maneuvers that rule our intimate lives. Explosive when it first appeared, Games People Play is now widely recognized as the most original and influential popular psychology book of our time. It’s as powerful and eye-opening as ever.
