Lux
In death, there is life... With their godhood restored, Jess and Rune must build an army to defend Umbra and Earth from Queen Mara and the invading darkness. Will sharing the truth about the darkness's origins unite the clans, covens, and courts, or is discord too entrenched? Furthermore, how do you protect your world against an enemy nourished by destruction? When the deep magic of the Between is illumed, a way to overcome the darkness seems possible. Yet all magic comes at a price. One that even gods aren't exempt from paying. For the sake of multiple worlds, will Jess have to make the ultimate sacrifice? Lux is the final book in a four-book series, The Dark Between. With New Adult themes, blood and soul magic, this series will throw you into the darkest Depths and the headiest Heights. Fans of Kuang's Poppy Wars and Taylor's Daughter Of Smoke and Bone will love this series.
Dante and the Mediterranean Comedy
In recent decades the concept of Mediterranean has been cited with increasing frequency in relation to the study of medieval literatures. And yet, in what sense would Dante’s Comedy be ‘Mediterranean’? Is it because of its Greek-Arabic and Islamic sources? Dante and the Mediterranean Comedy analyzes the ideological function of references to the sea in the study of the Comedy undertaken by Enrico Cerulli, a scholar of Somali-Ethiopian languages, and a colonial governor of ‘Italian East Africa.’ Then it presents novel lines of inquiry on the reception and appropriation of the poem, such as the presence of Islamic sources in early commentaries of the Comedy, and cross-cultural allusions to Dante’s Hell in some graffiti on the walls of the Spanish Inquisition prison in Palermo. The image of the Mediterranean that seeps through the poem and through the history of its circulation is vivid yet hardly idyllic.
The Queen of Scots
From the moment of her spectacular death on the scaffold, the story of Mary Queen of Scots became nothing short of a sensation across Europe. She was executed on 8 February 1587, and her death was the climax of a captivity that lasted over eighteen years. Shortly after the event, Federico Della Valle, one of Italy’s most accomplished dramatists of the time, composed La reina di Scotia (The Queen of Scots), a tragedy depicting the final hours of the Scottish queen’s life. With its restrained tone, streamlined action, and refined poetic language, The Queen of Scots ranks among the very best of early modern Italian drama. In this book, Fabio Battista provides an English-language annotated e...

Defending Irene
"This is not a game for you here," Matteo hissed. "Do you want to make us lose?" Irene loves soccer, a passion she inherited from her Italian father. She thrills to the sound and feel of the ball exploding off her foot for a shot at the goal. At school back in Missouri she was one of the top players on her girls' team. But things are different in Merano, Italy, where the bilingual Irene and her family have come for a yearlong stay. There is no soccer team for girls in the small, very traditional Alpine town. Irene decides to join the highly competitive boys' team, but she has little idea what she's getting herself into. She must prove herself to the strict coach, the "mister." And her teamma...
Mijn leven
De memoires van Rocco Granata bij de film van Stijn Coninx Rocco Granata belandt in 1948 als Italiaanse immigrantenzoon in het Limburgse mijnwerkersdorp Waterschei. Van daar uit zal hij met zijn accordeon en karakteristieke stem de wereld veroveren. Rocco Granata vertelt het verhaal van zijn leven. Het is een verhaal dat tot de verbeelding spreekt, over een jongen die van niets alles maakt. Met het nummer 'Marina' - een geïmproviseerd nummertje dat aanvankelijk op de B-kant van zijn eerste single stond - verovert hij de wereld. Nooit werd een Belgisch nummer in zoveel versies en talen uitgebracht. Het nummer zou meer dan 5 miljoen keer over de toonbank gaan. Zelfs John F. Kennedy en Fausto Coppi neuriëden het mee. Het is het begin van een indrukwekkende internationale muziekcarrière.
