Evacuation
Naor, a young filmmaker, is driving with his mother. He tells her about being in Tel Aviv after a recent evacuation. Everyone else has fled, except for Naor and Yaël, his artist girlfriend, and Saba, his grandfather, who is a writer. The occasional missile explodes nearby.

The Brotherhood of Book Hunters
The poet François Villon has been condemned to death by Louis XI, and to escape execution, he enters into a questionable relationship with a bishop in the pay of Louis XI. All Villon has to do to earn his freedom is to convince a printer and bookseller to move from Mayence to Paris, telling him that by doing so he'll be better able to circulate progressive ideas that aren't approved of in Rome. But, not surprisingly, Villon's task is not as simple as it sounds. In this riveting tale of plots and counterplots that takes place in Jerusalem, France, and Italy, Raphaël Jerusalmy leaves readers out of breath and with their heads spinning.

Il direttore della polizia dell’Attica, il nostro amato Kostas Charitos, e la sua sostituta a capo della squadra omicidi, Antigone Ferleki, si trovano a dover affrontare una nuova, spinosa, indagine. Un professore universitario, che si era attirato molte antipatie da parte di allievi e colleghi, è stato ucciso nel suo ufficio durante una manifestazione studentesca sfociata in scontri con la polizia.

Vegliare su di lei
"Nel grande gioco del destino, Mimo sembra proprio aver ricevuto le carte sbagliate. Affetto da nanismo, nato in una famiglia di poveri immigrati italiani in Francia, perde il padre, scultore che gli aveva insegnato i rudimenti dell’arte, durante la prima guerra mondiale quando lui è ancora molto piccolo. Incapace di mantenere entrambi, la madre lo affida a uno “zio”, Alberto, in Italia, anche lui scultore, ma dedito più alla bottiglia che allo scalpello. Mimo, però, ha dalla sua un grandissimo talento per la scultura, coraggio e determinazione. Viola Orsini, invece, erede di una famiglia importante, tra le più potenti di tutta la Liguria, trascorre l’infanzia e l’adolescenza t...

Il mio nome è Marytė
Le vicende raccontate in questo libro si svolgono durante l’inverno e la primavera del 1946 in quella che per molti secoli (e fino a pochi mesi prima) si era chiamata Prussia orientale. Con la fine della seconda guerra mondiale questa regione, a lungo condivisa e contesa da popoli diversi, scomparve dalla carta geografica. La propaganda sovietica dipinse l’intera zona come un covo fascista da conquistare e distruggere e i soldati dell’Armata Rossa furono esplicitamente esortati a saccheggiare, depredare, uccidere e a vendicarsi sull’inerme popolazione locale. Dopo la sconfitta nazista Eva e Marta, come molte altre donne di origine tedesca, sono rimaste sole ad occuparsi dei numerosi ...
