Calabria
Calabria is the southern region of Italy, which geographically corresponds to the tip of the boot. This ancient land, which gave its name to Italy, is characterized by a great historical, cultural, archaeological and environmental richness and above all by a particular and unique in its kind, landscape variety. In 2017 the Calabria region was reported by the prestigious American newspaper New York Times, as one of the places on our planet that is really worth visiting. An unusual guide in which foreign tourists can find detailed information on the territory, culture, ancient villages, natural beauties, food and gastronomic heritage of this region, among the most fascinating and still little explored in Italy.
Coercive Geographies
Responding to the deteriorating situation of migrants today and the complex assemblages of the geographies they navigate, Coercive Geographies examines historical and contemporary forms of coercion and constraint exercised by a wide range of actors in diverse settings. It links the question of spatial confines to that of labor. This fraught nexus of mobility and work seems self-evidently relevant to explore. Coercive Geographies is our attempt to bring together space, precarity, labor coercion and mobility in an analytical lens. Precarity emerges in particular geographical and historical contexts, which are decisive for how it is shaped. The book analyzes coercive geographies as localized and spatialized intersections between labor regulations and migration policies, which become detrimental to existing mobility frameworks. Contributors include: Irina Aguiari, Abdulkadir Osman Farah, Leandros Fischer, Konstantinos Floros, Johan Heinsen, Martin Bak Jørgensen, Martin Ottovay Jørgensen, Apostolos Kapsalis, Karin Krifors, Sven Van Melkebeke, Susi Meret, and Vasileios Spyridon Vlassis.
Exchanges and Parallels between Italy and East Asia
This collection of essays is the first English-language study to present the latest research on Italy’s cultural relationships with China and Japan across the centuries. It explores topics ranging from travel writing to creative arts, from translation to religious accommodation, and from Cold War politics to Chinese American cuisine. The volume draws on the expertise of an interdisciplinary group of scholars trained and working in Europe, East Asia, and North America who re-assess research foci and frames, showcase transcultural and theoretically-informed research, and help to strengthen this field of study.
Fascism, the War, and Structures of Feeling in Italy, 1943-1945
On July 25, 1943, news of Mussolini's resignation and subsequent arrest stunned Italians leaving them dumbfounded. After two decades, fascism had fallen without any advance warning. As festive events marked the incredible outcome and reminders of the past were destroyed, an uncontainable joy seemed to pervade Italians. But what did people actually celebrate? How did they understand the bygone dictatorship, which was soon to be reincarnated in the Italian Social Republic (RSI)? Drawing on more than one hundred diaries written by ordinary citizens (and some prominent figures as well) and inspired by Raymond Williams's concept of structures of feeling, the book examines Italians' perspectives o...
Italian Horror Story
A cursed villa, a mystery buried in the past, a writer of horror novels to whom a book on bloody events was commissioned. Events that, over the years, have ravaged Miraniente, a small town in the province of the Po Valley. A novel that gets under the skin thanks to a style that is capable of conveying the sense of mystery, of the thrill and of restlessness. Prevedoni masterfully mixes all the best of the dark imaginary of the last forty years: the Buffalora of Tiziano Sclavi (Dellamorte Dellamore) and the Derry Clowny portrayed by Stephen King (IT) marry with the thriller of Argento's memory (Profondo Rosso) and the Gothic Padano of Pupi Avati (La casa dalle finestre che ridono). The gore atmospheres of Lucio Fulci (L'aldilà) go hand in hand with the sarcastic drifts of the 80's horror film (An American Werewolf in London) and come together in the Carpenter tones of Il seme della follia. A small masterpiece of horror literature that is unmatched in our publishing scene, which is able to remind us of the meaning (perhaps lost) of the word fear. Translation of Simone Scimia.

L'Acqua dell'Ultimo Mare
Prima o poi si sente il bisogno di riordinare le proprie idee e rivisitarle per capire, con il distacco del tempo, il disegno che si è andato creando. Confrontare nell'oggi il punto dal quale, ieri, si è partiti e dove si pensava di arrivare. Enrico Matteo Ponti, l'autore di questo affascinante corpus poetico, ha iniziato a rivisitare il suo percorso poetico e, sommando al nuovo il meglio del vecchio, ha pensato di racchiuderlo in questa raccolta, giunta oggi alla seconda edizione, arricchita da nuovi inediti dell'autore, dalla presentazione del giornalista Patrizio Paolinelli e dalla postfazione di Marcello Alberto Cristofani Della Magione. Un po' come un vascello che, riposandosi in quel...
Il Grande Gatsby
Il fallimento del sogno americano in un capolavoro che delinea amaramente quanto l'abisso che separa i ricchi dai poveri mai verrà eclissato. Una struggente ricognizione dell'american dream costellata da disillusione, spleen, e amara constatazione dell'illusorietà di ogni ideale etico e morale.
Anni bui
Un saggio che analizza il fenomeno del terrorismo in Italia a partire dalla metà degli anni '50 fino alla fine degli anni '70.
Un calice di vento
Riportare su carta le sensazioni derivate dall'osservazione. Imprimere sulla pagina la rivisitazione di momenti e fasi di vita che sono scivolati davanti agli occhi dell'autore, Carlo Di Biagio, come pallini di pioggia sul finestrino di un autobus o di un treno. Questa l'ossatura di Un calice di vento, silloge costituita da 30 componimenti poetici che, fin dal titolo, rivela la sua dicotomia fra il reale e la fantasia: il reale di un calice di rosso di botte, con i suoi archetti ai polifenoli e con i tannini suoi domati dal tempo; la fantasia di un vento che si può anche degustare, abbandonandosi alle ali dell'immaginazione. Come altre volte accaduto nel percorso poetico dell'autore (Un nie...
