Due
Bologna, tardo giugno dell’anno domini uno nove nove due: il vecchio Alex è l’ombra di se stesso. A ridurlo in ruina, la partenza per l’America di una ragazza diversa da tutte le altre: la soave Adelaide è ormai approdata in una remota contea della Pennsylvania, e resterà laggiù per l’intero anno scolastico. Come sopravvivere alla sua mancanza per dodici lune? Per fortuna ci sono gli amici. È l’anno dell’Europa unita e dei confini che cadono, l’estate perfetta per raggranellare denari e partire in interrail, incontro alla libertà.

Murder Made in Italy
A study of three high-profile Italian murder cases, how they were covered by the media, and what it all says about Italian culture.

Watching Pages, Reading Pictures
Italian cinema is internationally well-known for the ground-breaking experience of Neo-Realism, comedy "Italian-Style," Spaghetti Westerns, and the horror movies of the seventies. However, what is rather unfamiliar to wider audiences is Italian cinema's crucial and enduring affair with literature. In fact, since the very beginning, literature has deeply influenced how Italian cinema has defined itself and grown. This book provides an empirical approach to this complex and fruitful relationship. The aim is to present discussions dealing with significant Italian film adaptations from literary materials which greatly exemplify the variety of styles, view-points, and attitudes produced by such an alliance, throughout the different periods. Among the adaptations discussed, are those that have followed trends and critical debates, making them, at times, rather problematic.
Memories of Post-Imperial Nations
Memories of Post-Imperial Nations presents the first transnational comparison of Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Portugal, Italy and Japan, all of whom lost or 'decolonized' their overseas empires after 1945. Since the empires of the world crumbled, the post-imperial nations have been struggling to come to terms with the present, and as recall sets in 'wars of memory' have arisen, leading to a process of collective 'editing'. As these nations rebuild themselves they shed old characteristics and acquire new ones, looking at new orientations. This book brings together varying perspectives with historians and political scientists of these nations attempting to bind memory and its experience of different post-imperial nations.
