Saggi
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

“Si dice comunemente che, come genere letterario, il saggio nasce in Francia con Montaigne e in Inghilterra con Bacone. I due scrittori rappresentano le due facce della stessa medaglia. Al fluire ininterrotto della prosa di Montaigne, al brusio dell'animo che s'interroga e spia, al suo divagante egotismo, Bacone oppone un'impersonale saggezza e il senso della relatività d'ogni principio e d'ogni partito preso. Anche per noi gli aforismi di Bacone appaiono come schegge di un sapere "antico", fossili resi ancor più preziosi dalla lunga sedimentazione, frammenti di un'archeologia del sapere che continua a coinvolgerci e a sorprenderci. Questo avviene perché un occhio sagace, pragmatico, aduso all'osservazione disincantata ha saputo cogliere nell'eredità classica e in quella cristiana le costanti essenziali dell'animo e dell'agire umano e ce le ha restituite con una brevitas che sa parlare al senso tutto moderno dell'economia verbale”. (dalla nota di Attilio Brilli).
