In Ostia, a depressed coastal settlement twenty miles from the powerful and corrupt city of Rome, a mighty local crime family, the Mafia, corrupt politicians, and new rabid criminal elements battle each other for a billion-dollar payoff. During the final days of Silvio Berlusconi's reign, a...

All animals are equal But some animals Are more equal than others George Orwell Orowello: The Other Farm Orowello was a farm in England where humans and animals lived their lives together harmoniously. How was that possible? The answer was their cooperative system of management: Animalocracy. Animalocracy yielded satisfactory results for everyone. Its essence was summarised in the Charter of Principles, a document personally written by Mr. Brown, the farm owner. One day, amazing news reached Orowello. On the other side of the county, the animals on Mr. Jones’s farm had rebelled. They had ...

Mario, l'io narrante, e Guido, suo compagno di scuola, sono così diversi da essere speculari: il primo è un adolescente come tanti, impaurito e attratto dalla vita, indeciso nelle scelte e appena abbozzato nella personalità, l'altro ha autorevolezza e carisma, un'immaginazione e una propensione al rischio che lo rendono diverso da tutti gli altri, abbastanza per affascinarli, troppo per non spaventarli. Ma proprio i loro caratteri opposti rendono Mario e Guido complementari e simbiotici.

Vorwärts in die Vergangenheit. Weiße Löcher sind das Gegenteil von Schwarzen Löchern – sie sind vermutlich ihre Abkömmlinge. Die einen ziehen alle Materie unwiderstehlich in sich hinein, die anderen geben ihre Information wieder frei. Sie sind ein weiteres großes Rätsel der Kosmologie, und noch gibt es keinen Beweis ihrer Existenz. Einsteins Gleichungen lassen sie aber vermuten, und mit Carlo Rovellis Quantentheorie sind Weiße Löcher theoretisch darstellbar.

Carlo Ancelotti est une légende vivante. Joueur mythique du Milan AC, entraîneur au palmarès inégalé — sept fois vainqueur de la Ligue des champions, champion en Italie, en Angleterre, en France, en Allemagne et en Espagne — il incarne à lui seul l'excellence du football mondial. Mais derrière les trophées, The Dream révèle un homme : sa philosophie de vie, son regard sur le jeu, la tactique, les vestiaires et les stars qu'il a dirigées — de Zidane à Cristiano Ronaldo, de Kaká à Benzema.

Il taglio del bosco (1959) è una raccolta di nove «racconti lunghi e romanzi brevi» costruita attorno a quello eponimo, che funge da spartiacque tra la fase "subliminare" dei primi tre testi e quella più matura, realista degli ultimi cinque, nella quale si avverte il respiro del grande romanziere. La raccolta, nel suo insieme, appare quindi come una sorta di precipitato del passato e di anticipazione del futuro, un'opera nodale di dolente forza poetica che delinea al contempo uno spaccato della società italiana in un'epoca di forti cambiamenti letterari e civili.

Un filo resistente lega gli uni agli altri i racconti di questa antologia: un'agenda rossa. Si affaccia dalla pagina declinata in diversi modi, una volta ha i fogli strappati, un'altra è gonfia di biglietti di teatro, ma sempre intende ricordare quella appartenuta a Paolo Borsellino - che conteneva appunti, nomi e forse rivelazioni sulla strage di Capaci, scomparsa immediatamente dopo l'attentato mafioso del 19 luglio 1992 e mai più riapparsa.

Over two millennia ago, a Greek philosopher had a number of wondrous insights that paved the way to cosmology, physics, geography, meteorology, and biology, setting in motion a new way of seeing the world. In this elegant work, acclaimed physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander's overlooked legacy to modern science. He examines Anaximander as a scientist interested in shedding light on the deep nature of scientific thinking, which Rovelli locates in his rebellious ability to reimagine the world again and again.

When the gentle woodcarver Geppetto builds a marionette, Pinocchio, to be his son, a fairy brings the toy to life. But Pinocchio is not yet a human boy.

Prosegue e termina, con questo quarto volume, il nostro viaggio nella storia dell’omicidio attraverso le età contemporanea, rinascimentale, medioevale e antica. In particolare “Nero come l’Abisso” tratterà del crimine violento durante il periodo delle grandi civiltà: assiri, egizi, greci, romani. Un lungo viaggio dalle origini dell’uomo fino alla caduta dell’Impero Romano, nel 476 dopo Cristo: la chiamano tutti l’età antica, dove affondano le radici della nostra cultura, delle nostre usanze e delle nostre paure più ancestrali.

Aunque se trata de una de las historias más célebres del mundo, Las aventuras de Pinocho es al mismo tiempo una obra en gran medida desconocida. Las peripecias de un trozo de madera parlante no son aquí un cuento aleccionador ni sentimental, sino un relato profundamente subversivo sobre la infancia perdida, colmado de crueldad, magia y sátira, en el que se entreveran la picaresca, el teatro callejero y los cuentos de hadas de un modo que anticipa el surrealismo e incluso el realismo mágico.

Pinocchio è un classico della letteratura mondiale, uno dei testi italiani più amati e apprezzati in tutto il mondo. Il burattino di legno creato da Collodi è ormai diventato un'icona senza tempo, una vera e propria incarnazione dell'infanzia.

In the Sardinian language, legends, folk and fairy tales are indicated with the expression Contos de foghile and Contus de forredda (stories by the fire-place).

Carlo Masala warnt in diesem Hörbuch vor den Illusionen des Westens: der Illusion, die Globalisierung würde automatisch zur Verbreitung der Demokratie führen, der Illusion einer zunehmenden Verrechtlichung der internationalen Beziehungen, aber auch der Illusion, durch militärische Interventionen ließen sich Demokratie und Stabilität exportieren. Seit der Niederlage in Afghanistan und Putins Krieg gegen die Ukraine stehen die Grundlagen westlicher Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik auf dem Prüfstand.
