Loch Down Abbey
'A sharp and absolutely hilarious spoof of the country house murder mystery... The whodunnit is a fun one... Such a fantastic read. I laughed out loud reading this many times, never more so than at the very end of the epilogue. Terrific stuff' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's the 1930s and a mysterious illness is spreading over Scotland. But the noble and ancient family of Inverkillen, residents of Loch Down Abbey, are much more concerned with dwindling toilet roll supplies and who will look after the children now that Nanny has regretfully (and most inconveniently) departed this life. Then Lord Inverkillen, Earl and head of the family, is found dead in mysterious circumstances. The inspec...
Mr. Masters (Mr. Series Book 1)
He is powerful, older and my boss, a lethal combination. Job satisfaction has taken on a whole new meaning. When I lied on my resume, I didn’t expect it to matter. I mean any child would love me; I was born to be a nanny. I applied for a position working for a woman, or so I thought. But Julian Masters is definitely all man…the kind you dream of licking chocolate from. The first day was bad. The kids were the spawn of the devil and I spied through a window and caught him doing something obscene…. and equally fascinating. The second day was worse, he caught me snooping in his bathroom cabinet in my skimpy pyjamas and all hell broke loose. On the third day, I ran over him in a golf cart. And by day four I had decided that I wanted that chocolate…all of it. Melted….on me. But intelligent, widowed Judges don’t fall for ditzy nannies. Or do they?
Diacronia di un romanzo: Uomini e no di Elio Vittorini (1944-1966)
Il rapporto di Elio Vittorini con il proprio romanzo Uomini e no (Bompiani, 1945) è stato senza dubbio problematico e caratterizzato da continui ripensamenti e revisioni. Questo volume spiega le ragioni della complessa relazione tra autore e testo, a partire dai primi momenti della genesi del romanzo, documentati da carte autografe inedite, conservate nel Fondo Elio Vittorini del Centro Apice dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e qui studiate per la prima volta, insieme ai materiali di lavorazione redazionale della prima edizione. La ricostruzione delle ulteriori trasformazioni del testo è testimoniata poi dalle successive stampe e da altri documenti archivistici inediti che ne spiegano...

Il modo romanzesco
Negli ultimi decenni si è assistito a un ritorno d'interesse per la narrativa appartenente al modo (o «genere», come si diceva tempo fa) romanzesco, sia a livello di critica che di produzione letteraria (basti pensare al successo del genere fantasy, alla fantascienza, al romanzo postmoderno, ad autori italiani come Calvino e Stefano Benni). Il presente volume, dunque, si propone di tentare una definizione delle costanti del modo romanzesco, e quindi ripercorrerne la storia a partire dalle sue radici classiche e medievali (il romanzo ellenistico e quello cortese), senza dimenticare il poema cavalleresco italiano. Particolare attenzione viene dedicata ai rapporti tra il modo romanzesco e lo sviluppo del romanzo moderno (da Cervantes a Scott e Manzoni), alla sopravvivenza del romanzesco puro nella letteratura d'appendice (Dumas) e in quella per ragazzi (Collodi, Stevenson), al genere fantasy (Tolkien), alla componente avventurosa e romanzesca dell'opera di Calvino e ai romanzi fantastici e picareschi di Benni.
Rodolfo Graziani
—> An exhaustive work of comprehensive research and study in various files and paperwork —> Beautifully illustrated with many rare and unpublished photographs —> A must-have for military historians, enthusiasts, modellers, video/tabletop gamers and those interested in the Second World War ‘An enemy forgiven is more dangerous than a thousand foes.’ Rodolfo Graziani, marshal of Italy, viceroy of Ethiopia, and one of Mussolini’s most valued generals, remains to this day a divisive figure in his homeland. Revered by some Italians as a patriot and vilified by others a murderer, his reputation abroad endures as one of infamy. To the people of Libya, he is the man who hanged Omar al-Muk...
