The Opera Manual
You are getting ready for a performance of Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore and you have a few questions. How many clarinets are in the orchestra? How many orchestra members appear onstage? How many different sets are there? How long does the opera typically run? What are the key arias? Are any special effects or ballet choreography required? Who owns the rights? Where was it premiered? What are the leading and supporting roles? The Opera Manual is the only single source for the answers to these and other important questions. It is the ultimate companion for opera lovers, professionals, scholars, and teachers, featuring comprehensive information about, and plot summaries for, more than 550...
Alja Rachmanova
Il volume, frutto del lavoro svolto dall'autrice nell’ambito del dottorato di ricerca, si pone l’obiettivo di fornire un primo studio monografico su Alja Rachmanova (1898-1991), scrittrice russa dell’emigrazione che ha avuto il bizzarro destino di rimanere sinora pressoché sconosciuta in patria. Eppure, negli anni Trenta del Novecento divenne un caso editoriale: le sue opere pubblicate in traduzione tedesca riscossero un successo enorme. Ad oggi non esiste nessuna edizione russa di alcuna sua opera.
Resurrection of the Heart
Santiago finally has what he wants. His baby is growing inside me. I’ve rewritten her destiny, binding her to me for good. Things are changing for us. I see beyond the monster he shows the world. See the scars he hides beneath the ink. Love is a weakness men like me can’t afford. I’ve decided to keep her, but I’ll never forfeit my revenge. His final betrayal proves his vengeance means more to him than our love. I will have my pound of flesh, no matter the cost. I made a mistake trusting him. I forgot how much he likes my tears. When I am through, I’ll have what I thought I always needed. I’ll run from him. I’ll have to. I’ll bring her back when she runs. I’ll always bring her back. She belongs with me. But it’s too late when I realize he’s not the only monster in my world. And that mistake will cost us both dearly.
Reparation of Sin
My husband hates me. But he’s also the only man who can save me. Taken by a stranger, Santiago is my only hope. Except that I don’t know if he’s dead or alive. And for as cruel as he can be, the thought he might be gone is unbearable. But he has nine lives, my monster. He’s not finished with me yet. And soon I’m back at The Manor. Locked in my room. At his mercy. I know I am despised. I know I have become the face of his vengeance. But there’s something else too. Something between us. It’s a dark and gnarled thing. And it has its claws around my heart.
Lezioni di strategia
Esistono criteri strategici generali in grado di assicurare la vittoria nella guerra contro i nemici, oppure nella lotta contro un avversario politico? O che, semplicemente, possano garantire maggiori probabilità di successo quando si devono affrontare e risolvere situazioni critiche? John Lewis Gaddis, storico della guerra fredda e autorevole esperto di politica internazionale, risponde a questi interrogativi traendo spunto da un enigmatico frammento del poeta greco Archiloco: «La volpe sa molte cose, ma il riccio ne sa una grande». In un serrato confronto sia con i classici della storiografia (da Erodoto a Tucidide), del pensiero strategico (da Clausewitz a Sun Tzu) e del pensiero polit...

Putin
Chi è davvero Vladimir Putin? Un coraggioso protagonista del nostro tempo, capace di condizionare la politica internazionale, oppure l'ex colonnello del KGB non troppo avvezzo alla democrazia? Insomma, un «nuovo zar»? Per rispondere a questi e altri interrogativi, Gennaro Sangiuliano dedica al presidente della Federazione Russa, «l'uomo più potente del mondo» secondo la rivista «Forbes», una biografia densa e suggestiva, nella quale si ripercorrono le tappe più significative di una straordinaria avventura umana e politica. Personaggio enigmatico e complesso, Vladimir Vladimirovic Putin nasce a Leningrado (oggi San Pietroburgo) nel 1952, quando in URSS è ancora al potere Stalin. La ...
