[gregor-samsung]

" Il 1° marzo 1896 un corpo di spedizione di diecimila soldati guidati dal generale Baratieri attaccò ad Adua un esercito di centoventimila etiopi guidati da Menelik. L’Italia subì una pesantissima sconfitta, lasciando sul terreno quasi cinquemila morti. Questa vittoria permise all'Etiopia di rimanere indipendente e insegnò ai popoli africani che gli invasori potevano essere sconfitti. L’Italia cercò allora di mettere le mani sulla Libia, con un corpo di spedizione italiano che sbarcò a Tripoli il 5 ottobre 1911. Ma l’invasione della Tripolitania e della Cirenaica da parte di un corpo militare di oltre centomila soldati italiani fece scattare la rivolta araba. Ne seguì una feroce repressione da parte italiana: migliaia di libici furono impiccati, fucilati, deportati. La resistenza, però, non si piegò e durò oltre vent’anni, nonostante la brutalità della repressione, soprattutto sotto la dittatura di Mussolini. Nel 1930, per ordine del Duce, per isolare i partigiani, vennero deportati dalla Cirenaica e rinchiusi in quindici campi di concentramento almeno centomila libici, in gran parte poi fucilati o impiccati. Fu impiegata anche l’aeronautica, su ordine di Mussolini, per sterminare le popolazioni ribelli, utilizzando le armi chimiche (gas asfissianti e bombe all'iprite). Nel 1931 il leader della ribellione, Omar al-Mukhtar (il “Leone del deserto”), fu individuato e catturato e, dopo un processo sommario, impiccato davanti a ventimila libici. È stata una delle più feroci repressioni coloniali, che costò la vita a oltre centomila persone. Fu allora che Mussolini, dopo aver sottomesso la Libia, decise nel 1934 di conquistare l’Etiopia. Si trattò della più grande spedizione coloniale con cinquecentomila uomini, trecentocinquanta aerei e duecentocinquanta carri armati. Più che una guerra di conquista coloniale, fu una guerra di distruzione del popolo etiope. "

Guerra di propaganda. Le bugie sul conflitto in Abissinia riciclate per l’Ucraina

“La storia insegna, ma non ha scolari” – Antonio Gramsi Sulla scarsezza di informazioni dai teatri di battaglia durante la guerra d’Etiopia che nessuno degli inviati poté mai raggiungere, bloccati e osteggiati dal governo del Negus ne scrisse l’inviato inglese Evelyn Waugh che lamentava il “compito impossibile di trovare notizie”. La vera guerra (come oggi) si combatté prima sui quotidiani. Una…

People with better memories than me, did Shivers explain how he got his name in the first law trilogy or only in bsc? Also did he ever mention hating his brother in front of Ninefingers?

#just wondering if those facets were previously revealed and I forgot #I think he might have at least said he hated his brother outside adua but not sure #caul shivers #the first law

He frowned down at the meat on his plate the way he’d once frowned across the Circle at Stour Nightfall. An enemy he wasn’t sure he could beat. He picked up his knife, tried to cut, but pressing gently it only slithered around in the widening pool of bloody gravy. He gritted his teeth, pressed harder, but now the whole plate slid about, slopping juice onto the polished tabletop. ‘Fuck,’ he hissed. ‘Fuck it!’ He wanted to snatch his meat up and rip into the thing with his teeth. He could feel Savine’s impatience on his right. His mother’s concern on his left. He was master of the Union, and the women in his life were having to stop themselves reaching across to cut up his dinner.

He wished he was back in Uffrith, among the Northmen, where you could say what you meant and eat any way you fucking pleased and a missing limb or two won you admiration rather than pity.

Adua and Her Friends (Antonio Pietrangeli, 1960)

Cast: Simone Signoret, Sandra Milo, Emmanuelle Riva, Gina Rovere, Marcello Mastroianni, Claudio Gora, Ivo Garrani, Gianrico Tedeschi, Antonio Rais, Duilio D'Amore. Screenplay: Ruggero Maccari, Tullio Pinelli, Ettore Scola, Antonio Pietrangeli. Cinematography: Armando Nannuzzi. Production design: Luigi Scaccianoce. Film editing: Eraldo Da Roma. Music: Piero Piccioni. A 1958 law passed in Italy shut down all the houses of prostitution, putting many of the women on the streets. But Adua (Simone Signoret) and three of her fellow sex workers decide to go semi-legit: They find a rundown property on the edge of Rome and with their savings and the help of Ercoli (Claudio Gora), one of Adua's wealthy former clients, they open a restaurant which they plan to use as a front for an illegal brothel. But the restaurant proves to be so popular that they decide they can get out of the sex trade entirely. Adua even strikes up a promising relationship with the slick car salesman Pietro (Marcello Mastroianni). But tension between Adua and Ercoli eventually undoes the whole plan. Adua and Her Friends is a well-made, mostly comic film with a downer ending.

adua, factually, is a good book

this post isn't trying to hate on Adua or anyone who worked on it, people who are represented by its characters, or people who may relate to/be like in any regard the characters in Adua. or english teachers. or teachers in general.

I just have a lot of thoughts about how we're (me and my classmates) are being told to read it in our english class and how it's given to us

Adua is the kind of book that I would read during a long car ride with absolutely zero/spotty reception, meaning that I would very rarely ever actually choose to read it. but I would read it and I would read all of it and I would read it in one sitting (which is better than some books)

Adua, however, is not at all the kind of book that I would ever suggest somebody read in an advanced high school english class. if you really want me to sit down and read this in a very not at all comfortable space, you better give me twenty bucks. I'll do it, but I'm not going to like it

and if you want me to take note of historical and cultural allusions on paper or computer, you better give me five more bucks

and if you want me to do any level of research on any of the allusions that I'm not genuinely interested in and actually write that down, you better give me at least five bucks per chapter because it's absolutely insane (/pos) how much is included. I know that it's kinda stupid that I'll research only what I'm interested in, but I do that all the time anyways and I'm not making myself do it. with google at my fingertips its like a second instinct

so kudos to the author and all for writing a really accurate book (as far as I know), but buddy this book is literally so hard to read with the amount of stuff I don't know and have no context for

I feel like the very bare minimum that a school can do is provide books that can be read easily (ie the formatting throughout the entire book is all uniform and the translation is done in a way that you can actually read it so it's grammar isn't really choppy (that being said, if the version we're reading is true to how it was originally written in italian... that's actually interesting and I would totally look up more about the italian language))

I do understand that this is kind of a high bar because teachers realistically are not getting paid that well at all, but if you're expecting us to do this much work for a book please make it easier for everybody

also I think just universally everybody should be putting trigger warnings at the beginning of chapters and stuff like, yes english teachers should do it because I high schoolers in this day and age have a much more intrinsic knowledge of what will trigger them and is therefore safe for them to be able to read without having actual issues go on during class. but also- just, anybody can get triggered by stuff, therefore ADD MORE TRIGGER WARNINGS AND IF YOU THINK THAT THIS WILL SPOIL A SURPRISE OR RUIN IT FOR PEOPLE, MAKE TWO VERSIONS OF THE BOOK, ONE WITH TRIGGER WARNINGS, AND ONE WITHOUT. MAKE THEM BOTH AVAILABLE FOR EVERYBODY (same price, same locations etc etc) (obviously making clear if a book had them included or not)

on another note, I think that if we're going to be doing something in class, especially if we're required to do it, you should make it interesting. that's not to say that Adua isn't interesting, I just think it's really hard to get into and once you're into it, it's really hard to get out of it. HOWEVER there's just too much going on to easily get into it into the first place (aforementioned lack of trigger warnings (read about my experience with some below), bad formatting etc etc)

in chapter 12, right at the end, there is just absolutely random smut that comes out of literally nowhere. I had no warning for it for it and that kind of thing really gives me the heebiejeebies, in a "gotta shake out the body" kind of way. it completely shuts me off from being able to finish anything for the next hour and (I've learned this because I read a lot of fanfiction. if you know anything about fanfiction, it's that eventually you're going to find a lot of untagged smut)

so I know that this is something that (while it doesn't exactly trigger me) bothers me immensely

and as I mentioned, there is absolutely no warning for this, so all of a sudden all this book that I'm supposed to be putting a lot of work into reading and taking notes on is completely near-impossible for me to do. because I can't focus on the book. because "oh my god what did I just read, I need to change my music, talk to a friend, scroll on my phone, read something else, and change my music again just to ask my friend to read to where it ends so I can finish the chapter because DAMN this is a large portion of my grade"

however... Adua is good. I think it's really informational because of how accurate is and how many historical and cultural references there are in it. and if I was going to be interacting with people from Somalia that were now in Italy and would have like been alive during the events that are talked about or happened in the book? I would totally read this if I knew that this was kind of similar to what they may have gone through

but I'm pretty sure that nobody in my english class is Italian. and I'm pretty sure that nobody in my english class is Somali (but I mean... I don't know that for sure, just a rough guess I've made based on how long I've known these people for and the one discussion about the book I've actually made it to so far). so all twenty-five of us that are reading this have absolutely no context for any event or allusion in the book, which means that we have to put a lot more work into this. also, all the historical background stuff is at the end of the book, so 1) I didn't even know it was there and 2) that's super inconvenient because you're literally flipping through the entire book trying to figure out what they might be talking about (and during the pre-reading that I missed, where this historical context thing starts. because you skip through the whole book to find it leading to spoilers)

a psa to teachers to close this off. if you're printing off a pdf of a book for students to read, please include page numbers because or else you're stuck telling people "oh just look at the online pdf of it for the page numbers" instead and (that's complete bs, that's way too much work on top of what we're already having to do)

the more I read of The First Law books the more I absolutely CRAVE a tv adaption. The film industry is missing out on this one. A thrilling adult fantasy series similar to asoiaf that is a) long as hell, plenty of material and b) finished, which is more than Game of Thrones ever had going for it 👀

PLUS it has incredible world-building AND it has a huge cast of characters with several POVs

Anyway I would kill to see this on the small screen if I’m being honest

#not a movie there’s too much there for a movie #but a show? yessssss #the way Abercrombie describes the scenery makes me wanna see it for myself so bad #Adua sounds so pretty 😭
