Ferro
Aveva solo vent’anni, Luciano Gianello. Eppure, per lui – e per tanti e tante come lui – la guerra non era finita il 25 aprile del 1945. Non era finita perché le camicie nere e i loro camerati nazisti continuavano a uccidere vigliaccamente, silenziosamente. Lo facevano con i tanti ordigni disseminati nei borghi e nelle campagne, con le bombe inesplose e con i campi minati. Per questa ragione il giovane Gianello, il partigiano Mirko per chi era stato al suo fianco nel battaglione “Picelli” sull’Appennino parmense, continuava a mettere a repentaglio la propria vita, affrontando un’opera che poteva rivelarsi addirittura più pericolosa che combattere i nazifascisti in campo apert...
Patria 1967-1977
Nel 1967 Gianni Morandi canta "C’era un ragazzo che come me", De André "Via del Campo" e Luigi Tenco si spara un colpo di pistola al Festival di Sanremo: si sente nell’aria che qualcosa sta per succedere, e infatti comincia un decennio di rivoluzioni, conquiste, speranze, disamori e misteri. Ma che cosa è successo davvero in quel decennio che iniziò mezzo secolo fa? Restano parole ed espressioni strane e lontane – il “Sessantotto”, l’“autunno caldo”, gli “spaghetti in salsa cilena”, “il palazzo”, “io sono mia”, il “compromesso storico”, “i lama stanno in Tibet” – a ricordarci quanto tempo è passato e quanto è cambiato il nostro paese. Era la Prima R...
Ending Terrorism in Italy
Ending Terrorism in Italy analyses processes of disengagement from terrorism, as well as the connected issues of reconciliation, truth and justice. It examines in a critical and original way how terrorism came to an end in Italy (Part I), and the legacy it has left behind (Part II). The book interrogates a wide array of published memoirs and a considerable number of new face-to-face interviews with both former terrorists and first and second generation victims In the last two decades, and especially in recent years, former extreme-right terrorists in Italy have started to talk about their past involvement in terrorist violence, including, for the first time, acts of violence which have for d...
The White Flag

The Memory of Odin
It is the third and final year of Fimbulvetr, the long and cold winter that precedes the end of the Nine Worlds. Midgard lies asleep under a thick layer of ice and snow. The city of men have fallen prey to ravenous wolf packs and bloodthirsty marauders. Gods, trolls and giants ready their weapons and magics for the last battle between Order and Chaos. All prepare for Ragnarok, the ultimate clash of the gods. All except Valhalla, whose tall walls are beset by deafening silence ... No singing or clash of swords can be heard. Sitting on his crumbling throne, Odin sleeps a long and dreamless sleep, waiting for the return of his memory from the inscrutable ocean of the universe and with it his strength to stand up to the Nine World and foster the flourishing of a new beginning. The book includes an essay on Norse mythology.
Kuraj
Born in the late 1930s on the Central Asian steppe, Naja is the daughter of a clan chieftain of the Tushan nomads, proud descendants of Genghis Khan. When her fiercely independent father, U'lan, hears of Stalin's plan to bring the Tushan under state control and make them settle permanently in collective farms, he pledges to join forces with the invading German army. It is a pledge of honor that will take her father to the hell of Stalingrad and change Naja's life forever by eventually bringing her, at the age of nine, to ruined postwar Cologne. From there she must learn to adapt to a strange new culture, and to the strange family that has taken her in. But as Naja gradually grows more comfor...
