Non chiedere perché (VINTAGE)

Questa storia si sviluppa a Sarajevo, in piena guerra fratricida della ex Jugoslavia, nell'estate del 1992, quando i cecchini sono appostati dietro ogni persiana, le granate dilaniano interi quartieri, persino arrampicarsi su un albero può essere letale: c'è chi muore perché non ha saputo resistere alla tentazione delle ciliegie. Con la ferita di un matrimonio fallito ancora aperta, Marco De Luca è l'unico fra i suoi colleghi giornalisti ad aver accettato l'incarico di inviato per la televisione italiana in questo inferno.

Policymakers are accordingly advised to always plan for the element of surprise.
Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside, Vol. 10 (light novel)
The Secret of the Hero! After an intense battle, Red has finally managed to convince Van there’s more to being the Hero than mindlessly following his Divine Blessing.

Nationalism and the Economy
This book is the first attempt to bridge the current divide between studies addressing "economic nationalism" as a deliberate ideology and movement of economic 'nation-building', and the literature concerned with more diffuse expressions of economic "nationness"—from national economic symbols and memories, to the "banal" world of product communication. The editors seeks to highlight the importance of economic issues for the study of nations and nationalism, and its findings point to the need to give economic phenomena a more prominent place in the field of nationalism studies. The authors of the essays come from disciplines as diverse as economic and cultural history, political science, bu...
Clerical Fascism in Interwar Europe
This edited volume arose from an international workshop convened in 2006 by Feldman and Turda with Tudor Georgescu, supported by Routledge, and the universities of Oxford, Brookes, Northampton and CEU (Budapest). As the field of fascist studies continues to integrate more fully into pan-European studies of the twentieth century, and given the increasing importance of secular ‘political religion’ as a taxonomic tool for understanding such revolutionary movements, this collection of essays considers the intersection between institutional Christian faiths, theology and congregations on the one hand, and fascist ideology on the other. In light of recent debates concerning the intersecting se...
