Rosaria Carpinelli Consulenze Editoriali - Manuale dell'uomo sociale

In Manuale dell'uomo sociale you will find snapshots of the turn of the century. A suspended and vaguely optimistic era, just before the financial crisis of 2008 and the long economic crisis that would mark the 1910s.

You will recognize Italy now accustomed to the Internet, but still obsessed with cell phones and early smartphones. You will feel the changing economic air: squeezed between Balkan salaries and Scandinavian prices, many compatriots were struggling (luckily there were parents' homes, plentiful aperitifs, outlet stores and low-cost flights).

You will learn about men's private fixations. You will meet some female icons (the Arronzatrice, the Hammerer, the Humiliator). You will come across bizarre social animals (the Speaker, the Host, the Italian Bonzo) and new professional figures (the Notary, the Architect, the Consultant).

Manuale dell'uomo sociale is a hilarious account of a period that today almost arouses tenderness and a bit of nostalgia. It seems like another era: it's only a few years.
