CAMELOZAMPA snc di Segato F. e Saorin S.
CAMELOZAMPA is an independent children’s books publisher, founded in Italy in 2011 and winner of the BOP 2020 - Bologna Prize for the Best Children’s Publishers of the Year (Europe). Our aim is to publish fresh and inspiring picture books and novels that help young readers in pursuing happiness, understanding diversities, becoming aware of themselves. One of our strong points is the rediscovery of international masterpieces that never appeared on the Italian market or that have not been available for long time. Alongside these redescoveries we carry out a creative production work, thanks to Italian and international authors and illustrators who share with us the fascinating and unpredictable path which leads to the birth of a children’s book. We think independent publishers have the task to cultivate bibliodiversity, in order to get narrations to their readers, through images and words that can amaze, excite, reflect, offer unexpected glimpses and open windows on far-off or nearby different worlds.

European historyOctober 2013Popular science and public opinion in eighteenth-century France
by Michael R. Lynn
Now available in paperback, Michael R. Lynn's book analyses the popularisation of science in Enlightenment France. He examines the content of popular science, the methods of dissemination, the status of the popularisers and the audience, and the settings for dissemination and appropriation. Lynn introduces individuals like Jean-Antoine Nollet, who made a career out of applying electric shocks to people, and Perrin, who used his talented dog to lure customers to his physics show. He also examines scientifically oriented clubs like Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier's Musée de Monsieur which provided locations for people interested in science. Phenomena such as divining rods, used to find water and ores as well as to solve crimes; and balloons, the most spectacular of all types of popular science, demonstrate how people made use of their new knowledge. Lynn's study provides a clearer understanding of the role played by science in the Republic of Letters and the participation of the general population in the formation of public opinion on scientific matters.

August 2008Schwarzes Quadrat
Zwei Poetikvorlesungen
by Max Frisch, Daniel Vin, Peter Bichsel, Walter Obschlager
Anzukündigen ist die Erstveröffentlichung zweier Texte von Max Frisch: 1981, das Jahr seines siebzigsten Geburtstags, war für Max Frisch biographisch wie literarisch ein ereignisreiches Jahr: Nach der Scheidung von seiner zweiten Frau Marianne lebt er nun in New York – gemeinsam mit Alice Locke-Carey, Frisch-Lesern bekannt als »Lynn« aus der 1975 erschienenen Erzählung Montauk. In Zürich wird an der ETH das Max Frisch-Archiv eingerichtet, und im Sommer und Herbst dieses Jahres entsteht die Erzählung Blaubart. Zur gleichen Zeit schreibt Frisch zwei Vorlesungen, die er Anfang November 1981 in englischer Sprache am City College of New York hält. Beide Vorträge sind eine Reise durchs Werk und zugleich Instrument der Selbstbefragung und -erforschung: Welchen Impulsen folgt der Drang zu schreiben? Was vermag Literatur? Und zu welchem Zweck? Max Frischs Vorlesungen sind ein Manifest: ein Bekenntnis zur Poesie, die sich nicht abfindet mit dem Machbaren, die nicht lassen kann »von der Trauer, daß das Menschsein auf dieser Erde nicht anders ist«. Unter dem Titel Schwarzes Quadrat erscheinen sie jetzt erstmals in deutscher Sprache.
