Fabio Genovesi
Chi manda le onde
Who Sends Waves
An exuberant contemporary novel told with the tenderness of a Fellini film
On the shore of the sea Luna, an
albino girl, collects a thousand
strange things that wash ashore
while her brother, the king of
the surf, rides the waves. He
is so different from her. He is
tanned by the sun of Versilia
and adored by all the girls. And
yet, he only has room in his
heart for Luna and his mother,
Serena, a beautiful woman who
raised them alone. Sandro, who
has come of age but still lives
with his parents and gets by
selling necklaces to tourists, is
desperately trying to win her
over. Then Zot, a mysterious boy
who comes from Chernobyl and
lives with Ferruccio, the irascible
retired lifeguard.
These are some of the true-tolife characters that animate this
novel full of hilarious, poignant,
bittersweet stories across every
page.
Fabio Genovesi draws a concise
and ironical portrait of an
authentic, sincere Italy, an Italy
free of cliché and stereotypical
postcard images, an Italy with
deeply human characters, whose
destinies are, at the same title,
universal.
FABIO GENOVESI (born in 1974 in
Forte dei Marmi) is one of the
most original voices in Italian
contemporary fiction. His first
novel Esche vive (2011) was
translated in ten languages.

Margherita Giacobino
Portrait of a Family with a Fat Daughter
A powerful family saga
A masterfully written novel
that brings to life the destiny
of a humble family lead by a
strong cast of women: Maria,
the beloved mother who is
as firm as the earth beneath
your feet; Michin, the brilliant
spinster aunt never known but a
soulmate nonetheless; Polonia,
the midwife, sweet and bon
vivant. And above all the rest,
there is the magna Ninin, the
aunt who raised Margherita.
In retracing her family’s journey,
the author describes over a
century of Italian history: from
the countryside of Piedmont
at the end of the nineteenth
century, to Germany where her
father was taken prisoner during
the Second World War, through
the economic boom to today.
And then: the stories the women
shared with the children while
they huddled in the stables for
warmth: the stories of the Magne,
the aunts who in the twenties
chose factory work in order to
gain freedom from their families,
and the incredible story of a girl
who crossed the ocean alone, all
the way from California back to
the small native town in Italy.
MARGHERITA GIACOBINO (born
in Turin in 1952) is a writer,
translator and film director. She
translated - among many things Wuthering Heights and Madame
Bovary.. Her latest novel is L’uovo
fuori dal cavagno (Elliot, 2010).

Antonio Moresco
Gli increati
The Uncreated
The third volume in Moresco’s monumental trilogy
A unique novel that will disturb,
delight, awe and thrill readers,
especially those who still
expect something from life and
literature.
Antonio Moresco is now
considered to be one of Italy’s
leading writers.
The peak of his art, and the
landing point of his entire
literary trajectory, Gli increati
is an autonomous novel but
is also the conclusion to his
earlier works, Gli esordi and
Canti del caos, the two pillars of
his literary architecture. Fields
of poetry, philosophical and
scientific theories, appearances
of historical figures agitate the
waters of this vast and flowing
narrative unleashed for twelve
hundred pages.
It is presented as the journey of
the narrator, in first person, in
the Afterworld.
In reality, it is a novel that leads
us to a dimension where we have
never been, and the author calls
it Gli increati.
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),
La lucina (2013) (rights sold
to Verdier/France, Archipelago
Books/USA, Anagrama/ Spain,
Dybbuk/Czech Rep) and Fiaba
d’amore (2015).

Bianca Pitzorno
La vita sessuale dei nostri antenati
Our Ancestors’ Sex Lives
“There’s no such thing as a normal family”
June 1979. While attending a
conference at Cambridge, the
young Ada Bertrand, a professor
of Greek literature, makes three
acquaintances that will change
her life forever: an anthropologist who claims he can speak with
the dead, his young assistant - a
medium who relies on a talisman,
and a handsome young stranger
who, in a fleeting encounter,
gives her her first real orgasm,
revealing the indissoluble union
between Eros and Thanatos.
Upon her return to Italy, with a
newfound energy and inspiration, Ada begins to research her
family history from her parents,
who raised her and her orphaned
cousin, Lauretta, to her aristo-
cratic grandmother, Ada Ferrell,
and her eccentric gynecologist
uncle, Tancredi.
Thanks to a series of strange coincidences, Ada discovers ancient maps, paintings, jewelry,
and diaries that contradict the
official and respectable family
history she was so proudly passed
down by her grandmother.
Nothing is as had been told, and
believed.
BIANCA PITZORNO with more than
two million copies sold, is the
author of Italy’s most cherished
children’s books. She wrote this
novel for her readers who have
now grown and wonder, “Do her
characters ever fall in love?”

Pietro Grossi
L’uomo nell’armadio
The Man in the Closet
Three surreal stories, full of irony and magic
A stool in the great hall of an
airport starts spinning on its pin
and does not stop, as if animated
by perpetual impulse: arousing
first distracted glances by some
travelers, then growing curiosity,
and finally an alarming form of
collective worship ...
The solitary and eccentric young
scion of a wealthy Florentine
family who is passionate about
the use of the scalpel. He uses it
to remove the surface of things of all things - and to draw artwork
of shocking intensity. That is,
until, the use of this unusual
artistic tool gets out of hand.
A modern girl, single and eager
to find a sweet but unobstructive
boyfriend, falls in love with a
man who is willing to hide away
neatly in the closet among the
coats and underwear when she
needs to be alone.
Three unusual and original
stories. A work masterfully
written, able to transport us to
new universes.
PIETRO GROSSI (Florence, 1978)

Milan, working in the cinema,

The Saint of Impossible Causes
“If you’ve seen the light even just once, you’ll remember it forever.”
Mila is about to turn forty. Now a
wife and mother, her life is on the
tracks with no other stops in sight.
She lives in Milan, a city where
stress is the main contagion. It
is impossible to walk by the San
Vittore prison - where Mila is a
volunteer - without feeling deep
sadness at that cage. Even more
impossible is finding the words
to communicate when life is lived
between work, children, and the
silences that have accumulated
over the years.
Mila wishes she could pray
to Saint Rita, Saint Patron of
Impossible Causes, with the
same confidence and abandon
that her grandmother had shown
her when she was little. But
where that light had been, there
is instead a shameful shadow,
calling her into the dark.
Mila makes a knowing and
shocking gesture, ending within
the white walls of a hospital. It is
there, that she will meet a woman
who goes straight to the heart
of things and helps her find the
reasons for walking in this world.
DARIA BIGNARDI (born in Ferrara),

Alessandro Barbero
Le Ateniesi
The Athenian Girls
A shocking fresco of life in Greece in 411 B.C.
With his unique ability to bring
history to life, Alessandro Barbero
takes on an impressive task: he
sets, in classical Athens, a drama
that is eerily modern and at the
same time brings to the stage an
ancient comedy.
Athens, 411 B.C.: two old veterans,
Thrasyllus and Polemon, survived
the inglorious battle of Mantinea,
where the Athenians were defeated
by the Spartans. They are making
their living by working the land,
and have yet to find husbands
for their daughters, Glicera and
Charis.
The two old men believe politics
are all that matter, but the two
girls think their fathers are living
in a dream world: for them, the
young Cimone, son of Eubulus,
rich, arrogant and cavalier, is the
man of their dreams.
When all the men gather in the
city for the first performance of
a play by Aristophanes, the girls
break all the rules of a patriarchal
society and go to Cimone’s house.
At the theater, Lysistrata decreed
the first strike of women against
men in order to invoke the end of
all wars, and the night in Eubulus’
villa takes a dramatic turn ...
ALESSANDRO BARBERO (Turin,
1959) teaches medieval history

Enrico Brizzi
My Brother’s Marriage
A family saga full of irony and postcards from the past
Teo is 38 years old, has a secure
job, and a different girl every
weekend to keep his mind off the
woman he loves. He is fine for
the moment, unlike his brother,
Max, who has always been radical
in everything he does: from
rebelling against his parents,
to his passion for mountain
climbing, from building a family
as one does in their 30s, to
divorcing ruinously in his 40s...
Max suddenly disappears with his
children, and so Teo goes to the
Dolomites to find him. Driving
along the long stretch of highway,
he tells the story of their lives
from the late 70s to the present:
their childhood in Rimini,
socialism and its collapse, the
advent of social networks and the
organic foods movement...
A funny and touching story of
an Italy that no longer exists,
and the hilarious exploits of
two brothers: which of them is
deluded? Who chose the best
path?
ENRICO BRIZZI (Bologna, 1974)
debuted sensationally when he
was only twenty years old with the
highly successful Jack Frusciante
è uscito dal gruppo, the manifesto
of a young generation which was
made into a film and the rights of

Enzo Fileno Carabba
La zia subacquea
The Subaqueous Aunt and Other Family Abysses
A brilliant and irresistible personal Amarcord
This story starts in a time and
a place of legend: summer in
Abruzzo, where our protagonist
would spend his holidays with
his paternal grandparents. The
sea is the primordial element
in which occur the first exciting
discoveries of young Enzo’s
life: his first contacts with the
creatures that inhabit the waters
and seabed.
His home is populated by a
family of educated and eccentric
characters. In this place, love is
arguing fiercely over nothing.
There is Enzo’s Grandfather, a
judge who, according to his wife,
is a “big whore”; Great-uncle
Manin also a magistrate; Aunt
Anna, a whimsical, taciturn
woman devoted to swimming; and
Enzo’s parents, absorbed in their
work, often absent, but regarded
with tender and affectionate
irony, an irony particularly
assigned to his father, a film critic
who submitted his child, then
his grandchildren, to watching
movies unsuitable for their age,
loves poker and bets on horses as
though it were his second job…
Carabba in this very personal
Recherche du temps perdu has the
extraordinary ability to use a
consistently ironic tone that is
sometimes bewildered, at times
romantic, and reminiscent of
certain Fellini films.
ENZO FILENO CARABBA was born
in Florence in 1966. He is the
author of novels, noir and fantasy
stories. In 2011 he published
with Mondadori Con un poco
di zucchero,, very successfully
translated in Germany by btb.

Antonio Pennacchi
Canale Mussolini parte seconda
Mussolini Canal part two
The eagerly awaited sequel to a literary masterpiece
Five years after the publication of
the first volume Antonio Pennacchi
delivers the second volume of
the story of the Peruzzi’s family:
and it’s again a rollicking feast
of adventures and misventures
following the same family across
a cockeyed version of modern
history, which begs to be read.
After laughing with and at its
characters, suffering with them
and becoming invested in the
fascinating story of a peasant
exodus from northern Italy to
the Pontine Marshes, as part of a
fascist bid to reclaim agricultural
land, the new novel starts from
the final years of WWII when
the US Army soldiers landed in
the area and defeated German
troops, up to the economic boom
in the 1960s.
The main character is now Diomede
Peruzzi, son of Modigliana and an
unknown father. Unforgettable is
the opening scene, where Diomede
walks out of the bank, wheeling
away a cart full of banknotes after
the Americans bombed the Banca
d’Italia.
Walking alongside such masters
as Steinbeck and García Márquez,
this novel stands as a masterpiece
of storytelling. Pennacchi is
very talented in constructing a
parallel universe where the reader
develops a true relationship with
the characters. You won’t be able
to help missing the Peruzzi family
when it is time to separate.
ANTONIO PENNACCHI (Latina, 1950),
an uncompromising powerful
storyteller, was a factory worker
until the age of fifty. In 2010
he published the first volume
of Canale Mussolini a bestseller
with 500.000 copies, crowned
with Italy’s most prestigious
literary prize, Premio Strega.

Every Saint his Candle
The rise and fall of “candid” Ernesto driven by a ruthless, dark mother
Finding a job in Italy during the
economic recession is not that
difficult, you just have to know
how it works. Ernesto, who grew
up in the “Quartieri Spagnoli”
and lost his father, has recently
managed to receive his degree
in economics. He knows exactly
how the game is played. The first
move? Get behind the right saint.
His unrestrained search for
success is rooted in the figure
of his strong, ambitious and
ruthless mother Maristella,
a woman who was raised in
adversity and widowed after
only three years of marriage. For
years she has flanned and plotted
for their own radical social
redemption. In her youth, she
had a weakness for powerful and
charismatic men, which brought
her to cross paths with Alfonso
Malatesta, a man who years
later would become a powerful
camorra boss. Ernesto becomes
the means by which Maristella
can leap forward to bring her
grand plan to fruition. Ernesto
also inherited from her a sense
of determination and a certain
lack of scruples: everyone can be
used, and anyone will work, even
Maristella herself.
To become someone, show no
weakness.

Anima viva
A Living Soul
“Never look your enemy in the eye, for you may stop hating him”
Twenty-year-old Angelika Berger
is strolling along the streets of
Paris with her father, Hans, when
a boy bored and locked in his
room to study, grabs a bow and
shoots an arrow out his window,
stopping its whistling trajectory
in Hans’ chest, killing him
instantly.
Angelika is now alone.
She never met her mother as
she grew up with her father, a
shy Professor of Philosophy. In
emptying their apartment, she
comes across a small safe that
holds a diary and a faded photo.
It is just the beginning of a series
of revelations that will take
Angelika from Paris to London,
to Nancy, and back in time to the
1940s in a little town not far from
Lublin, where the events that
forever tarnished the history of
her family began.
She finds that her grandfather,
was the famously efficient
commander of the Majdanek
concentration camp. A terrible
weight of guilt hangs over
Angelika’s shoulders, but from
the past comes a sign: a wooden
sled, carved by a talented
Jewish prisoner for the camp
commander’s children. The man
who carved it is still alive and is
key to the redemption she seeks
for her family’s memory…
FRANCESCA D’A LOJA made her
directing debut in 1997 with

ergastoli”, shot inside the

When she was a girl, tormented
by her wild twin brothers, she

Life reshuffled the cards, and
she is alone, with only one motto
“be enough for yourself ” and
one secret pleasure: spying from

front window. Until something
unexpected happens, or rather
two things, that makes her heart
beat faster ...
A kind of remake of La finestra
sul Cortile (The Back Window)
complete with a thrilling murder
and police investigation, the
story transforms into a romance
with every turned page.
A piece of tender romance with
great originality.
Another delicious Oggero’s novel
that will keep you enthralled to
the last pages.

Mauro Urbani has been called
“Tevere” ever since the day,

the Ponte Sant’Angelo as a test of
courage: he was young, nothing

and her boyfriend are still in
college. It is high time Tevere
acts the father and promises: “I’ll
take care of you!”
He brings on his recruits: his
two most trusted friends, Peppe
Loria, known as “the Fakir”, six
feet of muscle and violence, a
small brain, and a heart of gold,
and Mario “Bombay”, a part time
bartender who dreams of opening
a chiringuito on the beach in Ibiza.
The band is reunited, but they are
still missing a plan.

Will the group manage to pull
ahead, avoiding their arch enemy
“the Octupus” and the corrupt

that body was of the famous
journalist, Gigi Fossati. The
police come to Scarlatti for help
in a parallel investigation and he
soon discovers that things are
not what they seem.
There are mysteries surrounding
the Italian expat community,
a group that moves among
the dazzling present and the
shadows of the past with grace
and impunity. Moreover, his
inquiries bring him back to his
own circle of friends.
A noir, a comedy, a poignant
love story set in hypnotic Rio de
Janeiro, a long way from what we
see in postcards, like Pennac’s
Belleville.
Riva’s unforgettable characters
will capture the hearts of readers;
starting from Franco Scarlatti,
part hero, part crook, who
behind cynicism, sharp jokes,
and ambition, hides a quick
brain and a very noble soul.
ALBERTO RIVA (born in Milano
in 1950) lives in Rio de Janeiro
where he corresponds for a
number of Italian magazines.
He is the author of Sete (Thirst),
German rights of which have

La vita è brutale e poi muori
Life Is Brutal, then You Die
The ultimate novel on contemporary Africa
Valerio Montale has lived in
Africa for more than ten years.
He found drug dealing provided
better than freelance journalism.
Every two or three months he
flies to Guinea Bissau to pick
up a load of cocaine, takes it to
his home in Ivory Coast to cut
it, then sells it to diplomats and
aid workers across the continent
from Addis Ababa. He lives a life
without a country, nomadic, with
no real ties, except for one: his
six years’ old daughter Malaika.
But the little girl is kidnapped
and Valerio discovers that the
kidnapping has to do with his
childhood best friend, Gaetano
Currò, a seemingly enlightened
entrepreneur, who is actually
involved with the ’ndrangheta. If
he wants to see the child again,
he must follow the instructions
which will lead him from one
end of Africa to the land of
their fathers, Calabria, in his
own personal journey to hell.
Manfredi’s mix of truth and
fiction tells the real story of a
shocking Africa today and shows
why the future of the West could
really depend on the “dark
continent”.

Death has begun its harvest. But Commissioner Serra is back
Just a short article in the
newspaper and Roberto Serra
understands what he must do.
The doctor who showed him
how to tame the “dance”, the
lucid hallucinations that force
him to re-live the scenes of the
cases under investigation, Mario
Gardini, was murdered. And
although he is on suspension
from the police department,
Robert needs to dive into the case,
if only to distance himself from
the demise of his relationship
with Alice.
He goes back to Emilia, to
Pontaccio, a place of few souls
on the great river Po, a town
that looks like it came out of the
pages of a Guareschi novel with
its catholic marshal, communist
policeman, and a “Bar trattoria”
run by the beautiful and lonely
Serenella and her rebellious
teenaged daughter, where he can
put to good use his gastronomic
and wine-tasting expertise as
sommelier.
A compelling mystery awaits him

Doromizu - Acque torbide
Muddy Waters
The dark and frightening story of a young Italian man in Tokyo
Alex settled in Tokyo to attend
university. He knows very little
of Italy, his native country: his
mother died when he was a
child and he grew up in London.
Neither place has much hold on
him, he is however maniacally
fascinated by Japanese culture:
its cinema, women, sex, and the
traditional tattoo, irezumi.
Suddenly and unexpectedly, he
comes to possess a large amount
of money that could literally
change his life. This happens as
he lands his first job as assistant
to a film director who works in
the field of hentai porn.
Thanks to this, he gains access to
a dark world that mesmerizingly
pulls him into the most vicious
and unthinkable places of the
Japanese capital and splits him
into two different directions:
shinto and zen buddhism from
one side, and the desire to open
himself to this unknown new
world from the other.
Alex’s initiation to Japanese
culture, its politeness and
formalism, and subculture,
with its violence, toughness and
humiliation, will take readers
deep into the muddy waters, the
doro-mizu, of Japan.
This book is indeed a noir but
also a great declaration of love for
Japan and its women.

has loved for some years now.
He triggers a series of memories,
starting from the building in
via Ostiense where everything
happens, a crossroads of
different solitudes and the scene
of dazzling and overwhelming
passions.
He came to Rome from native
Istanbul to make cinema. It was
the 80s, there was an atmosphere
of extreme freedom, a large
gay community, long summers,
transgression, the scourge of
AIDS, and the kind of solidarity
that cements friendships.

A journey through the dark alleys of our mind

psychiatric ward of a famous
Italian clinic with a diagnosis
of manic depression. Because
his symptoms were persistent,
he was re-admitted to the clinic

final diagnosis described his
condition as bipolar disorder in
pharmacological remission.
With great courage and unexpected
writing skills, Dionisi masterfully
describes and discloses his
personal experience and the
sufferences of the “boat of
the fools”, the humanity who
accompanied him in his journey
into the inferno of the psychiatric
asylums. Moving is the way he
describes with great lucidity and
empathy his and their resignation
of living in a “world apart”,
unknown to normal people; the
repetitiveness and exasperating
monotony of daily life, fantasies

fears, fragility and aggression, and
the need for human contact and

Calcio totale

“Soccer is played primarily with the head and you win with that, your feet come after!”
The story of one of the most
legendary coaches in the soccer
history told for the very first
time.
“I never realized that to be a
jockey you had to be a horse
first.” One of the most famous
quotes in the history of soccer
came from a man under intense
pressure from the Italian media.
Having never played soccer as
a professional player, Arrigo
Sacchi’s ability to manage a team
trying to reach the pinnacle of
European soccer was in scrutiny.
Having beaten AC Milan twice
with Parma, Sacchi has been
handpicked by Silvio Berlusconi,
who attempted to revolutionize
Milan with new signings after
buying the club.
Early results were far from
promising, but once Milan got
into form, they displayed why
they are thought of as arguably the
greatest side in soccer history,
winning back-to-back European
cups. The players at Sacchi’s
disposal were of fantastic quality,
but Sacchi himself played a huge
role in Milan’s success, showing
new tactical innovations which
have influenced managers even
today.
Sacchi’s time in the spotlight
was short, but the legacy left by
his tactical innovations makes
him known as one of the greatest
manager in soccer history.
ARRIGO SACCHI, born in 1946, is
one of the most popular Italian

“I first learned about astrophysics

documentary on the life and work
of Stephen Hawking.
Twenty-three years later, when I go

to fascinate us, it is imbued with
mystery; and the more we explore
it, we find that every answer only
leads to more questions. It’s like
a game made especially for us, a

And I want to tell you all about it.”

Oro bianco
White Gold
The big book about cocaine’s international trafficking
Up until the nineties, cocaine
was the drug of the elite. Today it
is the drug of the masses: there
are those who smoke it, and
those who sniff it. According
to UNODC, the United Nations
Office for Drug Control and
Crime Prevention, in 2012 there
were 243 million people, aged
between 15 and 64, who have
used illegal drugs at least once.
Of all the substances, cocaine
was by far the most popular drug
used, and it continues to be the
the ’ndrangheta’s best-seller.
Today, cocaine is a much safer
investment than government
bonds. In this book, Antonio
Nicaso and Nicola Gratteri trace
the large-scale trafficking of
cocaine, going on a journey that
takes us from Colombia up to
Calabria, showing step by step
this business that enriches drug
traffickers, impoverishes and
kills drug addicts, contaminates
the banking system, and corrupts
those with executive power.
Oro bianco is a book that rekindles
hope that the global scourge can
one day be eradicated.
NICOLA GRATTERI is the leading
prosecutor in the fight against
the ‘ndrangheta. ANTONIO NICASO
is one of the world’s leading
experts on the ’ndrangheta. Both
of them received threats. Gratteri
lives under police protection
since 1989. Nicaso was forced to
leave Italy and lives in Canada
since 1990. They co-authored a

Massimo Piattelli Palmarini
Il nono giorno della creazione
The Ninth Day of Creation
The latest findings in genetics and neuroscience
“The secrets of life are already
known; only the details remain
to be clarified, although that
is no easy task. I doubt you
would find it interesting.” The
response Jacques Monod gave
a young Piattelli Palmarini
were symptomatic of the view
scientists had about biology and
genetics in the early sixties:
everything seemed to have
been discovered. The worldrenowned book, The Eighth Day
of Creation, written by Horace
Freeland Judson, had masterfully
described the extraordinary
discoveries made in the field
of molecular biology, including
deciphering of the genetic code.
In this book, using the title as
both an homage and a statement
of purpose, Piattelli Palmarini
describes the new conceptual
frameworks
that
dominate
the “ninth day”: the study of
evolutionary
developmental
biology, of epigenetics, and
of the microbiome, including
the innovative technologies
that have made their study
possible, ushering in the era of

Roberto Re
Cambiare senza paura
Change without Fear
How to win in the face of changes in work, relationships and life
The world around us is evolving
so rapidly that it forces us to make
constant changes in schedules,
actions, attitudes, behaviors,
habits, ways of thinking. In a
rather short time these small and
continuous changes transform
the way we live and who we are.
The primary feeling one has in the
face of the whirlwind of change
is fear. Any change, in fact,
determines the abandonment
of something known in favor
of something unknown, the
deletion of a part of our past for
the uncertainty of the future.
This widespread feeling of fear
often leads people to resist
change, and results in fear
guiding the choices we make
and forcing us to live in a kind of
inferno.
Winning fear gives you the
possibility of entering a new
paradise made of growth and
richness.
This book will help you in finding
a new direction in life.

Mauro Biglino
The Bible is not about God
A surprising comparison of the Old Testament and the Homeric texts
“The Bible does not speak of
God. When it speaks of Yahweh, it
means an individual who is part
of a group of individuals called
Elohim. These individuals have a
relationship with humanity, but a
special relationship, in the sense
that they fabricated it. Yahweh
was one of them, one of the less
important ones.”
The author has expressed this
singular theory in the many
essays he has written to date
that have been bestsellers and
discussed in conferences around
the country.
In this new book, he takes up his
main thesis and strengthens it
with an original and surprising
addition: the presentation of
dozens of parallel and mirror
passages from Homer, the
Bible, and scientific documents
produced by biologists and
geneticists in support of this
shocking hypothesis.

Gianfranco Ravasi
Le pietre di inciampo del Vangelo
The Stumbling Blocks of the Gospel
The darkest passages of the Gospels illustrated by a very authoritative biblical scholar
The 140 Gospel passages that
Ravasi presents here will
undoubtedly be shocking. For
example: “If anyone comes to me
and does not hate his own father
and mother and wife and children
and brothers and sisters, yes, and
even his own life, he cannot be
my disciple.” (Luke 14:26). Or:
“Do not think that I have come to
bring peace to the earth. I have
not come to bring peace, but a
sword.” (Matthew 10:34).
It is not only the Old Testament
that has difficult and scandalous
passages. Even the bright pages
of the Gospels contain lines that
trip the critical reader as well
as those who join in Christ’s
message with heart and mind.
At the vanguard is Cardinal
Ravasi, who interpretes the
passages using the message of
John the Evangelist. His Gospel
preserves the memory of a brief
dialogue that seals the darkness
by introducing a ray of light. “So
Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘Do you
want to go away as well?’ Simon
Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to
whom shall we go? You have the
words of eternal life, and we
have believed, and have come to
know, that you are the Holy One
of God.’”(John 6.67 to 69).

The story of Leo VI from Byzanthium and of his court
882 a.C.: twelve beautiful virgins
are gathered at the Court Palace
in Constantinople from Emperor
Basilio, who wants to choose
among them the wife for his son
and successor Leo. The winner of
this kind of “beauty contest” was
Theophane Martinakia, who was

their parents for political reason.
Theophane is the first of the four
wives Leo married in succession
following an incredible sequence
of losses. After Theophane’s
death, he married the intelligent
Zoe Zaoutzaina and then, when he
became a widower for a second
time, the beautiful Eudokia
Baiane. However the death of
Eudokia and their newborn son
appeared to mark the end of any
hopes for Leo, who was being
undermined by his brother and
threatened by military rebellions
in the provinces of East Asia.
He is finally given an heir (the
future Emperor Constantine
VII Porphyrogenitus), out of
wedlock, by the dark-eyed
Zoe. Their belated wedding,
however, and thus the legitimacy
of his heir, is opposed by the
Archbishop of Constantinople.

Amedeo Feniello
Naples 1343: the roots of evil
The first evidence found showing the camorra existed in as early as 1343
1343: there is famine in Naples.
After nightfall, a Genoese ship
loaded with wheat is attacked
by members of two local clans
who brutally kill several sailors
and their captain. The attackers
returned to the city, greeted by the
cheers of their countrymen, and
the blind eye of the authorities.
The Republic of Genoa presented
the Kingdom of Naples with
a formal protest against the
incident. But, in a historical
document of great importance
today, King Charles I of Anjou
admitted he did not control his
own city, that the true rulers of
Naples were the “family.”
The purpose of this book is not to
retrace the birth of the Camorra
through the traditional roads
of ethnology, anthropology,
sociology or even folklore for
the umpteenth time. Amedeo
Feniello takes a new route
through a number of previously
unstudied elements and makes
a unique observation: that these
“families” of Naples were in
power at the time of the birth of
the Angevin Kingdom of Naples one of the first European nation
states. They would have been
leaders of the new state, actively
participating in the business of
the royal family and serving as a
new class of directors, officers,
and bureaucrats.

Margherita Sarfatti
The biography of the queen of art in fascist Italy
Writer and journalist Margherita
Sarfatti was also the leading
female art critic in Europe: she
founded the “Novecento” group,
curated galleries, attended the
studios of the major artists,
discussing their works and
buying them for herself. Her
influence on Italian culture and
art is incomparable.
This detailed biography reveals
the story of a major player in
history who, for too long, has
remained in Mussolini’s shadow.
She was Mussolini’s lover, a
socialist, and then a fascist; she
was educated, rich, beautiful,
and belonged to the international
elite. Modern and feminist,
Margherita did not align with the
fascist model of femininity: she
supported women’s emancipation,
women’s suffrage, free love,
and embodied the ideal of the
“flapper.”
Thanks to extensive documentary
research,
Rachele
Ferrario
revives the temperament of a
free woman, who lived ahead
of her time and who influenced
the most powerful men in Italy,
among them Umberto Boccioni:
their relationship is here
explored more deeply than ever

PHILOSOPHY
Stefano Zecchi
Il lusso
Luxury
The eternal desire of lust and Beauty
We live in a society devoted to
profit and functionality, one that
sees beauty in the ephemeral,
and luxury in expense. But what
is luxury?
Stefano Zecchi has a counterresponse: luxury is the natural
(and legitimate) aspiration to
beauty which belongs to every
human being, and the desire to
improve our existence by going
beyond the everyday routine.
Luxury escapes any monetary
sum. It is an experience of life, a
priceless value of the spirit (like
righteousness, beauty, truth),
an aspiration to a life of beauty,
removed from the ostentation of
power or money.
Zecchi traces the concept of
luxury, starting from primitive
societies where it was a gift
and not possession, touching
in its path the great classical
civilizations, the Renaissance
(when “great art” became
synonymous with majesty), the
Enlightenment, Marxism, to
the present day and the crisis
of the idea of beauty. Here,
Zecchi illustrates the parable
of a “skilled craftsman” partly
supplanted by industry, leading
to the birth of the brand.
And above all, he shows how
luxury, dominating the meaning
of beauty, requires culture and
aesthetic sensibilities.
STEFANO ZECCHI teaches aesthetics
at the State University of Milan. A
novelist, essayist, and columnist,
he has published many novels,
and the essays, such as Sillabario
del nuovo millennio, Il brutto e
il bello, L’artista armato, Capire

A surprising book on ghosts
In this book, philospher
Giulio Giorello gathers five
philosophical short stories,
some set in the foggy Northern
countries and some set under the

The reader will be brought to
know the existence of ghosts,
lares, unbodied souls, and
messengers from hell. Some are
perverse and deceitful, some are
playful jokers, and yet all these
spirits wish they weren’t dead.
Our deep envy of their living is
what creates the energy by which
we recognize them. They are
diaphanous creatures, intolerant
of good sense or political
correctness. But those emotions
are what help us persist in our
desire to desire.
And so ghost are dreams made of
the fabric of our wishes.
And yet these immaterial
entities, though perhaps unreal,
remind us that on this Earth
there exists far more than what
philosophy can conceive.

The Italian tradition’s recipes re-interpreted with a healthy and tasty twist
In the 1950s, American biologist
and nutritionist, Ancel Keys,
was struck by the low incidence
of cardiovascular disease and
gastrointestinal disorders in
Italy and Greece. He discovered
that the Mediterranean is the
body’s natural ally against
disease. Today, Marco Bianchi is
taking the traditional recipes of
the regions and boosting their
nutritional value even more.
This book is a culinary portrait
of Italy’s 20 regions with 200
recipes. Some dishes are already
perfectly balanced in their
original version (the soups from
the North, cereals and beans from
the inland, and not to mention
the durum wheat pasta from the
South). Other dishes have been
re-interpreted to enhance their
potential health benefits.
Our lifestyle has changed over
the years. Compared to our
grandparents, we lead a more
sedentary lifestyle; we move less
and have different nutritional
needs than we had in the past.
So why haven’t we modernized
the way we eat? This question is
what started this journey through

cuisine in the world is also the
healthiest.

The Age of Chaos
A trip through the world’s disorder
We are in a period of great
instability in which the old order
is crumbling and a new order

book describes the fault lines
running through our world and
the forces that are reshaping it,
from geopolitics to economics,
from the environment to the
collapse of democracies, from
the technological revolution to
the role of emerging powers,
particularly India and Cina.
Chaos is seductive as a dynamic
principle and a strategic
resource.
On the one hand there are rulers
hopelessly rooted in the past and
unable to see the future. On the
other hand are the members of
the new elite, the main players
in the coming decades: guerillas
and tech start-ups who, for
varying reasons, see opportunity
in instability. So much so that
‘disruptive’ has become the
buzzword of Silicon Valley.
It is no wonder then, that for the
