John Marshall

    1 gennaio 1952

    John Marshall fu uno statista e giurista americano che plasmò il diritto costituzionale americano, rendendo la Corte Suprema un centro di potere. Marshall dominò la Corte per oltre tre decenni e svolse un ruolo significativo nello sviluppo del sistema legale americano. In particolare, stabilì il diritto alla revisione giudiziaria, il potere di invalidare le leggi che violano la Costituzione. Marshall consolidò così la posizione della magistratura come ramo indipendente e influente del governo. Inoltre, prese diverse decisioni importanti relative al federalismo, plasmando l'equilibrio di potere tra il governo federale e gli stati nei primi anni della repubblica.

    Una storia tra due città
    • Romanzo di enorme e duraturo successo, Una storia tra due città uscì dapprima a puntate, quindi in volume, nel 1859. Si tratta di un romanzo storico ambientato tra Parigi e Londra nei burrascosi anni che precedettero e seguirono la Rivoluzione francese. Tra le molteplici vicende umane che si intrecciano in queste pagine spiccano quelle di Lucie Manette, donna insieme dolce e coraggiosa, figlia di un uomo ingiustamente detenuto nella Bastiglia e da lei inizialmente creduto morto; di Charles Darnay, aristocratico francese espatriato in Inghilterra, indiscriminatamente accusato durante il Terrore; e infine dell'avvocato Sydney Carton, dall'ambiguo passato, cui viene offerto un inconsueto destino. Racconto avvincente e ricco di colpi di scena, Una storia tra due città vive anche di un raffinato impianto allegorico nel quale i luoghi e i personaggi rappresentano diverse istanze politiche e sociali, in una indimenticabile raffigurazione delle forze che muovono la Storia dell'uomo.
