Nel numero 29 di Reputation Review siamo andati a vedere da vicino il sogno americano, un concetto che ha animato più di una generazione di statunitensi (e non) e che, soprattutto, ha svolto una funzione attrattiva per chiunque decidesse di "fare fortuna" aldilà dell'oceano. Oggi esiste ancora qualcosa che si possa definire American Dream? E noi italiani, che da sempre siamo stati fra i popoli migrati verso l'America, che rapporto abbiamo con questo mito che per molti è poi diventato realtà?Per scoprirlo abbiamo chiesto a una serie di italiani che in Usa hanno trovato la loro dimensione imprenditoriale e umana, come Piero Armenti l'influencer che rifiuta questa etichetta ma fondatore de Il mio viaggio a New York; o come Alex Carini, immobiliarista che proprio nella Grande Mela ha stabilito il suo business. Vediamo come sia possibile stabilire un ponte fra Italia e Stati Uniti insieme a chi conosce bene entrambi i paesi come Alan Friedman intervistato per noi da Andrea Pancani, o ancora grazie alla chiacchierata con Monica Marangoni, vera icona televisiva per gli italiani all'estero. Umberto Mucci ci racconta un po' della storia della reputazione degli italoamericani e come questa stia cambiando (in meglio); Poi ancora i sei segreti per entrare nel mercato americano riducendo al minimo i rischi e interviste a giovani talenti italiani che oltreoceano stanno costruendo la loro carriera artistica. Un numero tematico che non si limita al mondo dell'imprenditoria, ma che coinvolge aspetti culturali, storici e umani in grado di tenere insieme i sogni di due popoli.

Heart of Darkness (1899) is a novella by Polish-English novelist Joseph Conrad in which the sailor Charles Marlow tells his listeners the story of his assignment as steamer captain for a Belgian company in the African interior. The novel is widely regarded as a critique of European colonial rule in Africa, whilst also examining the themes of power dynamics and morality. Marlow is given a text by Kurtz, an ivory trader working on a trading station far up the river, who has "gone native" and is the object of Marlow's expedition. Central to Conrad's work is the idea that there is little difference between "civilized people" and "savages." Heart of Darkness implicitly comments on imperialism and racism.

Typhoon is a short novel by Joseph Conrad, begun in 1899 and serialized in Pall Mall Magazine in January-March 1902. Its first book publication was in New York by Putnam in 1902; it was also published in Britain in Typhoon and Other Stories by Heinemann in 1903. Captain MacWhirr sails the SS Nan-Shan, a British-built steamer running under the Siamese flag, into a typhoon-a mature tropical cyclone of the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean. Other characters include the young Jukes - most probably an alter ego of Conrad from the time he had sailed under captain John McWhirr - and Solomon Rout, the chief engineer.

Under Western Eyes (1911) is a novel by Joseph Conrad. The novel takes place in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Geneva, Switzerland, and is viewed as Conrad's response to the themes explored in Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment; Conrad was reputed to have detested Dostoevsky. It has also been interpreted as Conrad's response to his own early life; his father was a Polish independence activist and would-be revolutionary imprisoned by the Russians. This novel is considered to be one of Conrad's major works and is close in subject matter to The Secret Agent. It is full of cynicism and conflict about the historical failures of revolutionary movements and ideals.

Lord Jim is a novel by Joseph Conrad originally published as a serial in Blackwood's Magazine from October 1899 to November 1900. An early and primary event in the story is the abandonment of a passenger ship in distress by its crew, including a young British seaman named Jim. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with himself and his past and seeking redemption and acceptance. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Lord Jim 85th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
