Sicily
This book delves into the fascinating and diverse history and culture of Sicily. With settlers from early tribes to the Greeks and Romans, through the Arabs, Normans, French, Spanish and finally Italians, the island's culture has been changed dramatically by each of the foreign powers. In this book, Jeremy Dummett concludes his trilogy on Sicily with an engrossing history of the entire island, through excess of power, a wealth of cultural prosperity and flourishing art, to extreme poverty and oppression in times of war and invasion. The geography of this Mediterranean island is full of huge variations, from coastal plains with natural harbors to a volcano and a mountainous interior--a decentralized state for most of the past. Dummett delves into the stories and personalities that make up this extraordinary island, with power struggles developing a great cathedral and temples built to impress but never finished; Sicily uncovers the hidden background behind the island's rich culture.

El círculo Octogonus
Recuperamos un nuevo título de Peter Harris, cuyas novelas combinan elementos esotéricos con intriga policíaca. Roma, invierno de 1939. Mientras agoniza el papa Pío XI, el servicio secreto nazi intenta manipular para que el nuevo pontífice se muestre partidario de Alemania. A fin de impedirlo, los servicios secretos vaticanos recurren al Círculo Octogonus, su rama más antigua y secreta. El sacerdote jesuita Niccola Storzi, profesor en el Teutonieum de Roma, se convierte en el destinatario de una serie de mensajes que le llevarán, muy a su pesar, a descubrir inquietantes secretos que jamás hubiesen deseado conocer. Una intrigante y absorbentenovela de Peter Harris, autor del best seller El enigma Vivaldi y La conspiración del templo, entre otras novelas.
