The Love You Deserve
A guilt that changes the lives of a whole family.
A daughter who delves into memories long forgotten
Ferrara. Alma and Maio have just
finished school, enjoying their
evenings with friends. Alma and
Maio are siblings, bound by deep
affection and vitality, and by
Michela, his girlfriend and her
best friend. Life flows by serenely,
indeed, happily: but they do not
know how happy they are.
One evening, Alma and Maio
decide to try heroin. It was Alma
who suggested it, but it was Maio
who was never able to break free
from the drug. Maio disappeared
forever, swallowed up in a foggy
night on the Po. Leaving not a
trace.
In Bologna, thirty years later,
Antonia is a mystery writer, lovingly
married to a police commissioner,
and five months pregnant. Antonia
is Alma’s only daughter, and for the
first time her mother tells her about
Maio’s disappearance, of that black
hole that swallowed everything in
her past.
She heads back to Ferrara. In that
too quiet, cozy, impermeable city,
through a whirlwind of meetings,
small glimmers of truth are
exposed, slowly bringing to light
a surprising truth that will free
her mother from the weight of the
opaque silence surrounding Maio’s
death and will reveal more and
more of herself.
DARIA BIGNARDI (born in Ferrara),
journalist and screenwriter, is
the star of the popular TV talkshow “Le invasioni barbariche”
and a columnist for “Vanity Fair”.
In 2009 her debut novel Non

Fiaba d’amore
Tale of Love
An urban fairy tale, a meditation on love and life
There once was a crazy old man
who lived on a sidewalk surrounded
by a ring of cardboard and rags.
He had once been an important
man, but no one remembers him
anymore, not even himself.
His life goes on immutably, until
something incredible happens.
The spell of monotony is broken
when a beautiful, sweet smelling
young woman comes upon him,
smiles, and takes him home with
her where she bathes him, feeds
him, and loves him.
But his new happy life lasts only a
short time. Alone and abandoned
once again, the old man begins
his journey to the city of the dead
as frigid snow covers the world
around him.
But at this point another incredible
thing happens. He realizes that
the city of the dead is the same of
the city of the living. Meanwhile
the marvelous girl, who has
forgotten all about him, suddenly
remembers...
A meditation on love and desolation
across the boundaries of life and
death.
ANTONIO MORESCO (Mantua, 1947)
is an author of freakish talent.
It took him years to complete
the monumental and heretical,
thousand page long, Canti del
caos (2009), that established
him as the most solitary and
uncompromising Italian writer.
Moresco’s recent shorter works
include Gli incendiati (2010)
and La lucina (2013), soon to be
translated in France by Verdier
and in the USA by Archipelago
Books.

Massimiliano Parente
Il più grande artista del mondo dopo
Adolf Hitler
The Best Artist in the World, Second Only to Adolf Hitler
A brilliant and definitive satire on contemporary art
More pop than Andy Warhol,
more eccentric than Salvador
Dali, more brilliant than Marcel
Duchamp, Max Fontana, the
greatest artist in the world
according to some critics, gained
success by accident at the age of
40, on the very day he decided to
take his own life.
He transformed himself: he
wore his green hair in a Hitler
youth cut (but uncombed like
Jack Nicholson), donned a Nazistyle coat, and Nike Shox on his
feet, every piece chosen to send
a message. Each of his works
is scandalizing, rattling, and
horrifying. He is unapproachable
like a rock star, whimsical,
surprising and provocative just
for the fun of it. He goes so far as
to declare Adolf Hitler an artistic
model to be admired, but is Max
Fontana really a genius, or is it
just a clever crook? Or even a
killer? And above all: why has he
gone missing? After starring in
sensational performances from
Paris to New York, after having
made a mockery of colleagues,
critics, gallerists and journalists,
something went wrong.
Outrageously clever and intelligently outrageous, Massimiliano
Parente’s hilarious new novel is
a work of limitless satire critiquing man and Western society.
MASSIMILIANO PARENTE (born in
Grosseto in 1970) is one of the
most controversial Italian writers
and the literary critic of the daily
“Il Giornale”.

Storia d’amore in tempo di guerra
Romance in Wartime
A tormented story of love and loss
Sergio is a librarian and, in his
spare time, a historian. He has
dedicated himself to writing the
biography of Antonio Manca,
a war hero and one of the most
distinguished politicians in
Italian history. During one of
the recording sessions in which
Antonio describes his life to
Sergio, the name of Enrico Foa
is spoken for the first time.
Who was he? And why doesn’t
his name appear in any book or
records? What secrets does the
life of Antonio Manca hide?
As Sergio begins his research, he
meets Miriam, a Jewish woman
who immigrated to Argentina
after the war. She knew Enrico
Foa. She had loved him, and
she had lost him. Miriam does
not confess anything to Sergio,
but the voice of Enrico himself,
recorded years before, reveals
a story that had been lost to the
folds of time, a story that had
begun in the streets of Rome’s
ghetto just before the fateful
events of October 16, 1943. It is
a rich and exciting story, where
Miriam and Enrico’s romance is
intertwined with his mysterious
disappearance and provides
a profound view of cultural
identity, and the relationship
between historical truth and
ethics.
GIORGIO VAN STRATEN was born in
1955 in Florence, where he still
lives. His first novel, Generazione,
was published by Garzanti in 1987.
With Mondadori he published, Il

Il dott. Ciro Amendola,
direttore della Gazzetta ufficiale
Dr. Ciro Amendola, Director of the Official Gazette
A surprising debut novel suspended between Kafka and Totò
Dr. Amendola is not just any
employee, he is the director of
the Official Gazette of the Italian
Republic, which publishes all laws
passed by Parliament.
He’s a typical guy, albeit a bit
fanatical, obsessive, superstitious,
and methodically hedonistic about
football and food.
For many years he has been alone,
focused on breathing life into the
monumental catalog of Italian
laws. Until one morning, in the
list of phone calls, he sees the
name Mirella. Mirella Cherubini,
his childhood sweetheart, the
only person who knows that
beneath his gray bureaucratic
shroud beats a burning heart.
Within a week, Dr. Ciro Amendola’s
life will be turned upside down in
hilarious and unexpected ways.
The author has admirably handled
this engaging character and the
upside-down of his world.
A remarkable debut novel, a
pleasure to read.
ALFONSO CELOTTO (born in 1966
in Castellammare di Stabia)
lives in Rome, where he
teaches Constitutional Law at
the University and works at

Silvana La Spina
La continentale
The Mainlander
A vibrant portrait of a woman
The promising future of a
beautiful northern woman - a
blonde bombshell - crumbled the
day she marries a Sicilian. She
left Padua for Sicily and cultivated
a deep aversion for the land
that welcomed her and all those
who live there. Her daughter
embodies that hate, divided
between North and South,
between mother and father. But
in spite of all prejudices, she had
a happy childhood amid the sun
drunk cicadas, archaic rituals,
religious festivals, the fights
between the mayor and the priest
worthy of a Guareschi farce…
all because she is a hybrid, an
oddity, a sort of mythical beast.
Reading this book not only
exposes long-held prejudices,
but it touches a wound in the
national fabric that has yet to
heal - the longstanding divide
between North and South.
SILVANA LA SPINA was born in
Padua to a Venetian mother
and a Sicilian father. With
Mondadori she published three
novels starring Commissioner
Maria Laura Gangemi: Uno sbirro
femmina (2007), La bambina
pericolosa (2008) e Un cadavere
eccellente (2011).

Antonella Cilento
Lisario or Women’s Endless Pleasure
A timeless story of forbidden love
Story of a woman who discovers
pleasure, of a painter who
discovers passion, of a city that
rises up against the Spanish rule.
Naples, 17th century. Lisario
Morales is little more than a
child when she receives her first
marriage proposal. She is mute
due to a botched surgery but
secretly enjoys reading Cervantes
and writing letters to the Virgin
Mary. When she can not stand
the violence of adults, she sleeps.
And after months of sleep, she is
taken under the care of Avicente
Iguelmano, a failed doctor who
has come to Naples to rebuild his
reputation. Unfortunately, the
doctor’s solution is barely legal
and highly paradoxical.
Lisario speaks of the mystery of
female pleasure and the dubious
scientific studies relating to it
against the background of a
baroque and ignitable Naples, a
place of nightly riots, demagogues,
murderers,
hermaphrodites,
plague and uprising against the
Spanish lead by Masaniello.
Here the destinies of Lisario and
Avicente intertwine with those of
Michael de Swerts, a renowned
painter, and of Jacques Colmar,
a theatre director who fell in love
with her at first glance.
A picaresque novel very close to
Don Quijote by Cervantes and Gil
Blas de Santillana by Lesage.
ANTONELLA CILENTO (born in
1970 in Naples) teaches creative
writing since 1993. She is the
author of many historical literary
novels.

Strategie per arredare il vuoto
Strategies to Furnish Emptiness
A charming first novel
Edo, a curious young boy, at
thirteen years old, learns that his
parents will never come home
again: they suddenly died in an
accident. He is left to deal with
life on his own, and he refuses
to move in with relatives and
goes on living in his family’s
apartment.
Suddenly alone for the first time,
his place becomes home to a
series of bizarre characters: twin
sisters Greta and Lavinia, who
will introduce him to feminine
mystique, Enea, who takes him on
biking adventures along the river
bank; and a whimsical vacuum
salesman, who is obsessed with
the germs he swears are lurking
in the drains.
It is a magical world, where Edo
lives free from the rules of the
adult world, until one day new
visitors threaten his loneliness.
A story as suspenseful as it is
rich in detail about the evolution
of a young boy, a heartbreaking
novel that introduces a revelatory
young voice.
PAOLO MARINO was born 1968 and
lives in Piacenza, where he works
as a professional reporter. This is

L’opera viva
The Hull
A novel on sailing as a metaphor of school and life
For Leo, who loves the sea,
teaching means trying to teach
his class to sail. According to
him, the submerged part of a
person is the true self. The rest is
just appearance.
He isn’t sure he is the best
captain, but he knows, in
nautical jargon, that the hull is
the submerged part of the vessel,
the one that works with the water
to generate motion, while the
topsides are only an outer shell.
As a sailor, he has few certainties
and prefers to sail by sight
without too much of a plan. He
suspects this spoils his relations
with women, friends, and
colleagues.
But not with his pupils. In fact
they are the ocean in which he
can relax and feel revived. But
not even with them he can reveal
the secret that will ruin his days.
De Santis writes with a strong
poetic voice and admirably
portrays a realistic character
dealing with his difficulties in
life.
SERGIO DE SANTIS was born in
Naples in 1953. He teaches history
and philosophy in highschool
and he is contributor to “la

Viola Fòscari
A story of passion and destruction in vibrant Sicily
Viola Foscari is a woman of
great charisma: she is a perfect
housewife, a mother of two
children, a beauty. But it is
a fragile time: her children,
who have filled her life every
moment, are now old enough
to leave the nest, and to want to
start their own families. It’s at
her child’s engagement party that
it all starts. Just one look, and
Viola feels a passion suddenly
stir inside her, for a man young
enough to be her son.
Since that time, a growing
madness makes its way inside
her, and when she realizes that
her passion is returned, no
amount of logic can quell her
desire. Love-drunk days take hold
- days where everything seems
possible, everything is saved by
love - but they are followed by
guilt-ridden days, where Viola is
risking everything - her husband,
her children, her family,
respectability and integrity times when fatigue and anxiety
prevail. But those, too, are
tempered by the fabulous feeling
of being in a relationship with
a younger man who is full of
dreams.
Against the background of
vibrant Sicily, full of colors and
changes, Tea Ranno tells a story
of both passion and destruction.
TEA RANNO (born in Melissa,
Siracusa, in 1963) lives and
works in Rome. In 2006, she

Frau Göring’s Five Funerals
The great story of love and death of two demons
Berlin, Fall 2013. A writer walks
through the ruins of what was
one of the most beautiful villas in
Europe: Carinhall, the majestic
building built by Hermann
Göring in honour of his first wife,
the Countess Carin von Kantzow.
They had met during a stormy
night in 1920 in Sweden. The
German hero had taken shelter
in her family home when the
snow prevented his airplane
from flying. Both beautiful,
rich, and blond as the gods of
Norse mythology: love bloomed
with only one look between the
princess of the snow and the
acrobat of the skies. It mattered
little that Carin was already
married. Hermann swept her
away. They seemed to have been
kissed by fate. But their luck
turned.
In 1923 Hermann took part in the
failed Beer Hall Putsch, where he
was wounded. He developed an
addiction to morphine and Carin
died of tubercolosys in 1931.
But Karin’s body did not rest
in peace: she was buried and
reburied five times in either
solemn ceremonies or sudden
chaos to escape Russian and
American capture, at last
returning to Sweden, her final
resting place.
“A powerful novel which recalls
Cèline’s writing.”
PIETRANGELO BUTTAFUOCO (born
in Catania in 1963) works as a
journalist for “Panorama”, “la
Repubblica” and “Il Foglio”
and is considered one of Italy’s
most irreverent and brilliant
authors. All his books, starting

Satyricon 2.0
Satyricon 2.0
Rewriting Satyricon in modern times
A literature teacher reads
the classics every year for his
students, but there comes the
day in which it appears clear
that one of those books reveals
a watermark in history that is
more relevant than ever before:
the protagonists of the Satyricon
are not a bunch of dolts, but
two refined intellectuals - the
best of their time - and the
freedman Trimalchio is not a
simple, vulgar oaf, but rather a
man incapable of understanding
that society can not adapt to his
sense of propriety: a man can buy
anything with enough money, but
why not culture?
Villalta takes on the challenge of
rewriting the Satyricon, taking
every detail of the ancient
novel and making it relevant to
modern times. Starring in this
retelling are two young academic
researchers who, after receiving
several degrees and winning
prestigious research grants, still
struggle with fixing dinner.
Their travel from depressing
northern Italy towards the
beautiful and decadent Rome
takes an irreverent look at a world
in which there seems to be no
place for the bright, passionate
youths, who are truly fascinated
by the subject of their studies.
GIAN MARIO VILLALTA (Pordenone,
1959) is a novelist, literary critic
and poet and the director of the
literary festival “Pordenone
legge”. He is the author of the
novels Tuo figlio (2004), Vita

The head of the Secret Service

She is at the center of attention

The Olivares’ Secret House Roast
A spicy family saga full of Sicilian scents
In the heart of Palermo, just below
the large apartment inhabited
by the Olivares family, beats
the heart of a powerful, flaming
dragon called Orlando. He is the
machine that toasts and then
grinds black coffee beans and
pink peppercorns from morning
to night, filling the store with
strong, stunning scents ...
Amid the walls of the roast
house grows Genziana, the
most beautiful flower of the five
Olivares children, a free and
spirited child who is unafraid of
the future because her mother
Viola - the sensual and wise
matriarch of the family - can
predict everything by reading
coffee grounds.
But just when Genziana is
growing into the full bloom of
youth, war breaks out and with
it comes hunger and a bomb that
buries almost all of the Olivares
family ...
Genziana is now alone, the great
smoking dragon is forced to
stop, and the aroma of roasting
coffee seems to be lost forever.
Her daily life is turned fragile
and uncertain until a small
object from the mainland gives
Genziana hope of being rescued
from a past that cannot be
brought back to life: the moka,
a coffee percolator that makes
great coffee without leaving any
grinds to be read.

Antonio Marangolo
Mirror Accomplice
A Sicilian writer exploring the depths of passion
Private investigator Eddie Ponti
has not only amazing detective
skills, but the uncanny ability to
lengthen and shorten his frame
by fifteen centimeters.
His long career with the
police has accustomed him
to unravelling the minds of
complicated criminals, but one
spring morning he is visited by
the prefect’s widow, a mysterious
and uninhibited woman with
freckles and a wild red mane like
a lion’s. The widow entrusts him
with the task of stalking a person,
drawing up detailed reports of
their activities, and reporting
back to her every Sunday
afternoon. But the person she
wants him to stalk is… herself.
It all starts off well enough,
although a bit surreal, and it
quickly becomes a thrilling
adventure, a game of cat and
mouse, a house of mirrors, a
fun take on the theme of love
and longing, and ever-present
melancholy
traveling
from
beautiful Sicily, to Rome, and
from Trieste to Fellini’s foggy
Ferrara.
ANTONIO MARANGOLO was born in

Giuseppe Culicchia
We All Fall Down (Remixed)
A funny literary experiment
In April 1994, Giuseppe Culicchia
published his first novel Tutti giù
per terra. He was 28 and worked
as a clerk in a bookstore which
has since been replaced by an
Apple Store. The novel was a hit.
The protagonist, Walter, was left
standing before an uncertain
future.
Now, twenty years later, Culicchia
narrates the same story but
brings Walter ahead to modern
times. His father, for example, is
no longer pushing Walter to find
a career in business, but rather
to find a career in the healthiest
sector: reality TV. And turning
right round, the past is repeated
in the future, as if in spite of all
appearances, we all turned right
round in the past two decades,
repeating everything all over
again.
This remix is a literary experiment
so successful it’s disturbing, with
a surprise ending, capable of
reviving the angst and tenderness
of teenage years in everyone.
GIUSEPPE CULICCHIA (born in
Turin in 1965) published in 1994
his first novel Tutti giù per terra,

Enrico Brizzi
In piedi sui pedali
Standing On the Pedals
Jack Frusciante left the band, and he’s now on the pedals
Number One, Fury, and the
Corsara are just a few of Enrico
Brizzi’s beloved bikes, which he
speaks of in a reverent, moving,
and often comical, voice.
Standing On the Pedals is the story
of a passion for two-wheeling,
but it is also an initiation into
the world of cycling. The young
protagonist sets off on his bike,
beginning in his own back
yard, to explore his city from a
surprising new perspective. Italy
in the late seventies was, after all,
still a nation of cyclists.
The discovery of the wonder
bikers encounter intertwines
with the evocation of a time
when the “pink caravan” of Giro
d’Italia, Italy’s greatest cycling
event, inspired young children’s
imaginations to run wild.
The everyday wonders that come
with a “life on pedals” and the
epic of great cycling then end
up intertwined, creating a story,
smiling and deep, the timeless
Italian passion for cycling.
ENRICO BRIZZI was born in 1974
in Bologna where he lives and
works. He made his debut in 1994
with the novel Jack Frusciante è

Carmelo Sardo - Giuseppe Grassonelli
Malerba
Bad Weed
A shocking true memoir of revenge and redemption
This book recounts the life,
crimes and education of a mafia
boss - Giuseppe Grassonelli serving a life sentence for an
uncountable series of murders
committed in Sicily between
1980 and 1990. Arrested in
1992, he refused to become a
government witness, like many
other mafia detainees: he did’n
want to give evidence against
others because he wanted to be
held solely responsible for his
own crimes.
Grassonelli,
an
erstwhile
“savage criminal” by his own
admission, was caught in 1986
in a Cosa Nostra massacre in
Porto Empedocle, which left two
relatives and two friends dead.
Organizing his own mob of young
killers, Grassonelli launched
revenge attacks on Cosa Nostra,
sparking a mob war.
He entered prison semi-literate;
now he has a philosophy degree.
He has written to the youth of his
hometown asking to be forgiven
for his violence.
The book was awarded the
Sciascia-Recalmare prize (named
after the writer who challenged
Cosa Nostra).
Its victory sparked an angry row
in Sicily: the short-listing of
Grassonelli’s book prompted a
furious reaction from one of
the jurors who quit, saying its
candidacy was an outrage and
Sciascia would have been appalled.
CARMELO SARDO is a professional
journalist, the author of the novel
Vento di tramontana (Mondadori

An unsigned card from the past
We are at the beginning of

been independent for nearly a
year. Gabriele left Rijeka a long
time ago and now lives in Milan,
when he receives a mysterious,
unsigned postcard, inviting him

begins remembering his youth,
at a time when Italy was about to

His spirit inflamed by two school

passion for the beautiful Kety,
Gabriele had espoused the cause
of communism in stark contrast
to his father, owner of a factory
intended to be nationalized by

Tito: Gabriele had openly taken
a stand in favor of Stalin and was
deported to the concentration

Once in Rijeka, guided by the

The Lady Pharao
A secret very well hidden for years
Francesco Volterra, a tour guide
in Cairo, is unwittingly involved
in the theft of the mummy of
Hatshepsut from the Egyptian
Museum in Cairo and he can not
even imagine what he is about to
discover. The case of the “lady
Pharaoh” hides, in fact, the most
shocking secrets of antiquity
within an epic love story.
The lady Hatshepsut fell in love
with Senenmut when he saved
her from drowning in the Nile.
When she became pharaoh, she
brought Senenmut on as court
architect and had him appointed
high priest. Their relationship
was opposed by the courtiers, who
also did not approve of having a
woman in power. Despite this,
their love flourished into the
afterlife. Senenmut designed a
grand tomb for Hatshepsut near
Luxor, adding a secret tunnel that
would connect it to his smaller
tomb. He then drew the key to
the secret origins of Egyptian
civilization across the ceiling and
covered it with plaster. More than
3,000 years later, touring Cairo
by motorbike, Francesco Volterra
weaves between unscrupulous
traffickers
and
mysterious
women, on the trail of a truth
which links the pyramid of
Cheops and the star of Orion.

The eagerly awaited new book by

All it takes her is a hint, a

She goes nuclear when she talks
about “Walter” and “Jolanda”,

Since Luciana first began
describing their adventures

familiar as a dear old couple
living in the flat upstairs.
“I always talk about love in the
nether regions. I can’t fly any
higher. I fly low like turkeys. It’s
both the good and the bad thing
about me”.
With this book the comedy
actress from Turin pulls even

Luca Ricolfi
L’enigma della crescita
The Growth’s Enigma
Discovering the equation that rules our future
In
this
surprising
and
revolutionary book, Ricolfi states
that the real enemy of economic
growth is growth itself. As a matter
of fact, as wellbeing increases
production costs rise, reducing
the incentives to improve one’s
condition. Consequently, the
growth rate starts to slow down at
first, until it eventually becomes
stagnation, and then ultimately
stops altogether, according to
a curve that Ricolfi crystallizes
in an equation. He claims that
economic stagnation is inevitable
and indisputable because it
does not derive from economic
theories, but stems instead
from demography. The economy
grows and stops just like a school
of salmons first grows, then
reproduces, and ultimately faces
its decline.
If the increase of income per
capita is a formidable force
hindering economic growth, the
other variables in the equation
are human capital, foreign
investments, taxes, and the
quality of economic institutions.
The equilibrium of these forces
will help us understand if we will
exit the crisis and start growing
again or if we are destined to an
inevitable downfall.
LUCA RICOLFI teaches Data

Understanding the economic crisis through the Beatles’ songs

The Beatles’ lyrics marked an
era, the West’s last golden age:
high growth, full employment,
widespread prosperity, rising
expectations for young people.
Taxman foreshadows the tax
revolts; Get Back satirised the
first xenophobic and antiimmigration movements. When

Yesterday, with the theme of

it really better yesterday?
The aim of this book is to
rebuild our sense of hope: the
current crisis calls for ideas and
innovative therapies to solve
the unemployment problem and
overcome social inequality. Steve
Job’s imagination and creativity
is essential. The Beatles’ songs
may very well be the first step

L’amoroso pensiero
The Impassioned Thought
A modern interpretation of Petrarca’s Song Book
After his bestselling biography
of Dante, Marco Santagata
writes of the love the humanist
poet Francesco Petrarca had
for Laura, a woman whom we
still know precious little about,
and for whom Il Canzoniere was
written. In the story of Petrarca’s
unrequited love lies the birth
and development of the long
celebrated Petrarchan lyrical
style, whose formal aspects are
put aside in order to focus on the
Song Book as a novel.
A book about Petrarca, in which
the two characters, the author
and Laura, are treated as if they
were characters in a novel in
prose that unites Petrarca’s
personal history with what we
know of Laura and the qualities
a Provençal noblewoman would
esteem, with the aim of attracting
readers today not only to the love
story that shaped centuries of
love poems, but to the tormented
figure of the poet and his load of
anxiety, weakness, fears.

The Gospels
An invitation to rediscover the literary beauty of the Gospels
After tackling the literary
masterpieces of the 19th and
20th centuries, Pietro Citati is
presented with what are perhaps
the simplest and yet most
profound works of all time: the
Gospels.
Reading the Gospels is an
experience so humanly rich and
exciting that everyone, believers
and non-believers alike, should
undertake the task at least once
in their lifetime. Preferably in
the company of an expert guide
who is capable of leading the
reader through the maze of
citations from the Old Testament,
complex symbolism, and the
countless historical and religious
references.
Pietro Citati takes on this
unique role and sheds light
on the milestones of the life
of Jesus, unto crucifixion and
resurrection, helping readers
immerse themselves in the
historical period and rising to
the levels of theology.
Here, the Gospels are seen with
new light. Even Our Father,
which many learned to recite as
children, is revealed to have a
wealth of meaning that so often
goes unnoticed, and will enhance
the value of family prayer.
An unmediated study that is
enlightening and emotionally
impactful.
PIETRO CITATI is Italy’s most
respected and followed literary
critic, contributing regularly
to “Corriere della Sera”: his
critical works are a mixture of
academic analysis and fictional
exploration. They have covered

The Emperor’s Last Voyage
Napoleon’s last journey to the island of Saint Helena
The commemoration of the
bicentennial of the Battle of
Waterloo will take place in
2015. The same year will mark
a less commemorated event
in Napoleon’s history: his
confinement on the island of
St. Helena, where the former
Emperor would die six years
later.
“General Buonaparte”, as he was
henceforth addressed, having
been stripped of his imperial title,
was transported against his will
on the “HMS Northumberland”
from Plymouth to the island. He
was at sea for over two and a half
months, going from emperor
to prisoner of war in that short
time.
Based on the documentary
evidence from the period and on
previously unpublished technical
studies (e.g. the reconstruction
of the Napoleon’s housing on
the Northumberland based on
the original documentation of
the time) this book recreates the
day-to-day events of Napoleons
experience at sea aboard the
small, dark, overcrowded ship,
painting a portrait of a man
who has long been a mysterious
figure.
ALBERTO CAVANNA (Albisola 1961)

Gianluca Nicoletti
Alla fine qualcosa ci inventeremo
We Will Figure It Out
What kind of future will Tommy and many autistic children like him have?
Following the success of Una
notte ho sognato che parlavi
(One Night I Dreamed You Were
Talking), the story of his personal
experience parenting an autistic
son, Gianluca Nicoletti and his
blog have become a reference
point for families with autistic
children with an online following
numbering upwards of 400,000.
One day a few weeks ago, Gianluca
Nicoletti was on the train home
when he received alarming news.
His son, Tommy, didn’t come
home from school. The bus had
been rerouted and no one had
bothered to warn neither the
family nor the school teachers.
His family was thrown into panic
at the boy’s absence. As the story
unfolded, Nicoletti couldn’t
keep from voicing his outrage
on Twitter; his autistic son could
not be considered less important
than a parcel. He then decided to
start writing again and to raise his
voice against the inattention to
autistic children’s needs, fighting
to raise awareness and launching
the “Insettopia Project”, a special
place for autistic kids, and a
place where parents can gather
to imagine and build a future for
their children when they enter
adulthood.
An angry book, but again full of
love, aiming to give dignity to
autism.

Il clan degli invisibili
The Clan of the Invisibles
The good guys of San Michele, the best of youth in the ’ndrangheta
Six children play in the square of
San Michele (Calabria), kicking
the severed head of a scion of a
rival family, a war trophy taken
under gunfire during the last
exchange between the two clans.
Ten years after the gruesome
game, they each took different
paths. One in Dubai. One in
Bogota. One lives in New York.
One moved to Milan, another to
Marseille, and one has remained
in the heart of the feud held
for over a century by their
forefathers, the centre of the
’ndrangheta business, where the
orders come from. On their trail
are two reporters, investigating
for a long time the economic
and financial holding run by
them, now super managers of
crime. They have identified their
political accomplices, along with
the ones in intelligence and in
the Freemasonry. Unexpected
persons guarantee impunity to
the “good guys” of San Michele.
And they have also found links
with the “managers” of other
mafias, in Campania and Sicily,
with whom they conduct business
in Milan and around the world.
A gripping tale bridging fiction

the world of the ’ndrangheta, the

Aldo Cazzullo
Our Grandparent’s War
The First World War on the Italian front
Aldo Cazzullo, in addition to
being one of the most prestigious
names at “Corriere della Sera”, is
also a skilled storyteller.
In this book he has unearthed an
epic and moving story, choosing
to describe the war of our
grandparents: the First World
War and its thousands of victims.
In the squares of every town, even
the most remote and uninhabited,
there is a plaque commemorating
a generation: the kids born at the
end of the nineteenth century
who were swept away by the war
at the front. A war fought in the
trenches by poor soldiers, poorly
armed, starving and unprepared
to live under extreme conditions.
A war from which few returned to
tell their story.
Aldo Cazzullo tells the stories of
the First World War on the Italian
front, alternating between stories
of men and women. It was during
the Great War that women in Italy
began to gain their independence,
proving themselves capable of
doing the same things men had
done: factory work, driving trams,
earning degrees, teaching. The
various witnesses testified that
the Great War was the first
challenge of a united Italy, and
it was won. This book helps us to
remember who our grandparents
were, the force they were capable
of, and the heritage we carry on
within us.

Italiani voltagabbana
Italian Turncoats
The history of a nation of incurable opportunists
From as early as the First World
War, the reputation of Italians in
the international arena was not
the best. Their loyalty as allies was
seriously uncertain. “Rushing to
the aid of the victors”, to use the
scathing words of Flaiano, is what
Italy has done with distressing
regularity for over a century.
Fascists became anti-fascists
overnight on 25 July, 1943. The
House of Savoy made an abrupt
about-face, turning against their
German allies during the Second
World War, exactly as it had
done thirty years earlier. Fascist
intellectuals disappeared in the
blink of an eye after the end of
Second World War. There was
mass migration to the Communist
Party at the time of the announced
“overtaking” of the Christian
Democracy (1976). Bettino Craxi,
leader of the Socialist Party, was
worshipped like an Egyptian
god, then suddenly abandoned.
Berlusconi, who was also
fluctuating between the Christian
Democracy and Socialist parties,
once become an eminent
statesman, all of a sudden was
courted by former rivals like
Agnelli and De Benedetti. Even
Prime Minister Renzi, snubbed
for a long time, is now pursued
at every step by zealous and
unexpected admirers.
A portrait of the oft ruthless and
ironic national character of Italy.

on a personal journey through the

collected.
It tells the story not only of
the famous Sistine Chapel and

were decorated for Pope Julius
II, or of the Borgia Apartment
(which includes the most
important artists in the history

Veronese, and Caravaggio) but
also the stories of lesser known,
but no less exquisite, works
from the Museo Egizio and the
National Etruscan Museum, up to
the most important examples of
contemporary art.
Gianfranco Ravasi is a man of
great culture, combining the
historical and aesthetic analysis
of individual works of art to the
anecdotal story of the context in
which they were conceived.
The book is richly illustrated.

The Vatican According to Francis
From Buenos Aires to Rome: how Pope Bergoglio is changing the Church
By scanning what happened
since the beginning of 2013
until today, it is difficult not to
share the impression of current
revolutionary events; or at least of
a radical current transformation:
the epochal resignation of
Benedict XVI; the Conclave’s
election of the Argentinian
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Francis’s
choice to live in Domus Sanctae
Marthae rather than in the papal
apartment just to begin. And
what took place next has marked
even more the break between the
Vatican’s “before” and “after”.
Over the past decade, the Vatican
has been aligned with the West,
which has damaged its relations
with the Islamic world. Francis
is a post-Cold War pontiff and
the first pope from the Southern
Hemisphere - he is eager to move
away from East-West divides,
challenge the inequality between
North and South and bring an
end to the era of the Eurocentric
Vatican.
The Holy See’s relations with
President Barack Obama and
President Vladimir Putin are the
consequence of this shift in the
Vatican’s attention and priorities
in its foreign policy. We are at the
very beginning of the pontificate,
and further developments are
still to come. But already some
major changes are under way.

The Devil: how to recognize his seduction and defend yourself
From an exorcist a rigourous and
well-documented book, which
has obtained official imprimatur
by the Church.
Was Baudelaire correct in saying,
“The devil’s finest trick is to
persuade you that he does not
exist”? How can one recognize
the seduction of evil and protect
himself? Are the number of
demonic possessions increasing?
How have saints and mystics
like Padre Pio or Natuzza Evolo
survived the assaults of Satan and
his hosts?
These and other questions are
answered in this volume by a
Benedictine monk, exorcist and
psychiatrist, who in his life has
confronted the Devil more than
once. This book is an excursus
on the fight against Satan and a
guide to exposing him.
Because believing the Devil no
longer exists is the principle
proof that the Devil is still here.

On July 29, 1983 the prosecutor
Rocco
Chinnici
and
his
bodyguards were killed in
Palermo by the mafia. He was a
loyal servant of the State engaged
in the fight against organized
crime. One of his legacies was
the creation of a special unit
dedicated to battling crime rings.
Among his ranks were judge
Paolo Borsellino and Giovanni
Falcone.
Now, several years later,
Chinnici’s daughter Caterina, a
prosecutor herself fighting the
same fight, tells the story of this
modern hero, recounting the
events leading up to the tragic
day that ended her father’s
life, and discussing family life
that followed. Her family has
remained in Palermo despite
the threat to their safety, feeling
that forgiveness was the most
important message her father
had bestowed upon them.

This book is the memoir of a
former ’ndrangheta member,
the first to serve as an official
informant against the criminal
organization
in
Calabria,
revealing criminal plots and
intimate details.
In the hope of avoiding her
stepfather’s sexual abuse, Maria
at the insistence of her brothers
(both drug traffickers and
kidnappers) agreed to marry the
boss of the most powerful gang in
Piedmont, Francesco Marando.
Her husband used her as a relay
to manage his business from
prison. After helping him escape
the mental hospital in Genoa
where he was hospitalized due
to a false medical report, Maria
hid him in Aspromonte. In 1998,
however, after the murder of
some of her own family members,
Maria decided to tell everything
she knows about the criminal
organisation and to denounce it,
not wanting her daughter to be
condemned to the same fate.
The publication of her story
is a call to rebellion for all
women still belonging to the
organisation.
MARIA STEFANELLI was born
near Reggio Calabria. In 1990
she married one of the leading
’ndrangheta bosses. In 1998 she
started to cooperate with the

When This Is All Over
Father and son in search of an identity stolen by history
Milan, September 1938. An
honest and respectable gentleman,
a family man and patriot, comes
home upset. He has just read on
the front page of “Corriere della
Sera” that racial laws have come
into effect, making every Jewish
Italian such as himself a second
class citizen.
The author of this book knew
his father was hiding a story, for
years he could not get him to tell
it but only recently he persuaded
him to disclose it.
From that exchange comes this
intense and culturally relevant
book: the story of an Italian
Jewish family, who like many
others, was taken by surprise by
the racial laws set in 1938. It is
the story of a boy who does not
understand why he must leave
his school, his home, and pack
everything into a rucksack and
flee.
It is a story of fear, humiliations
and flashes of unexpected human
goodness. Of confidence, hope,
and stubborn optimism.
The story of a father and a son
becomes a lesson in history and
life.

Dino Zoff
Dura solo un attimo la gloria
Glory Lasts but a Moment
For the first time, the most famous goalkeeper in the history of Italian football tells his story
This is not a traditional
biography, but rather a small
history of Italy told from the
unique perspective of a sports
hero, Dino Zoff, an “Italian
Hapsburg”, silent and deep, that
has covered half a century.
Against the eternally green
backdrop of football fields, we
watch the most diverse group
of characters assemble. Gianni
Agnelli, to whom Zoff is forced
to lie to when he called at the
break of dawn to ask: ‘“How’s
the weather over there, Zoff?”
“Mostly calm, sir.” What else
could I say? I couldn’t tell him
that I had not yet opened the
windows.’
Or Gaetano Scirea, who played
an entire game with a busted
shoe, receiving illegal hits on his
bare foot, but “without reacting,
striving to be perfect, as always”,
and to win.
And Luca Cordero di Montezemolo,
whose lack of preparation got
him fired from “his” Juventus
(“They swapped sparkling wine
for champagne”). And Silvio
Berlusconi and the claims of his
unworthiness after the events of
Euro 2000, which Zoff responded
to by quitting.
But above all, in this book we
breath a constant feeling of
nostalgia, and admiration for the
silent men who have characterised
his entire story.
DINO ZOFF (1942), the legendary
goalkeeper, is considered the 3rd
greatest goalkeeper of the 20th
century behind Lev Yashin and
Gordon Banks and named by Pelè
as one of the 125 greatest living
footballers.
