Medici ~ Ascendancy
Florence, 1429 Giovanni de' Medici is dead. A lifetime of shrewd investment, strategic alliance and sly manipulation saw Giovanni climb from mere money-lender to the top echelon of Florentine society. But success has left a slew of bitter enemies in his wake – and there are whispers his untimely demise wasn't accidental. Florence is a nest of vipers, and with the Medici family's wealth in the hands of Giovanni's untested sons, Cosimo and Lorenzo, there are those who feel that now is the time to strike, to destroy the upstarts and seize their holdings. First in an award-winning, bestselling quartet charting ten generations of rise to power. Praise for Matteo Strukul: 'Strukul has a brilliant style and a rare imagination' TIM WILLOCKS 'One of the most important new voices in Italian crime fiction' JOE R. LANSDALE

Egy dinasztia királynője
A firenzei bankárdinasztiából Medici Katalin (1519–1589) emelkedett a legmagasabb rangra II. Henrik francia király feleségeként, majd anyakirálynéként. Élete azonban nehéz és küzdelmes volt a francia udvarban, ahol soha nem fogadták be teljesen, mindig csak „az olasz kalmárnőnek” tekintették. Kirekesztettségét csak fokozta, hogy férje, akit imádott, nem őt, hanem a hatalomvágyó Diane de Poitiers-t szerette egész életében és halmozta el ajándékokkal. Katalin türelemmel és intelligenciával viselte el, hogy Diane szinte állandóan jelen van a királyi udvarban. Megalázott helyzetében barátai és gyermekei nyújtottak vigaszt. Egyik hű barátja Raymond...
Le carte. Volume I
"A partire dal 1963, anno di pubblicazione del mio primo libro, Libera nos a malo, e di stesura dei Piccoli maestri, ho preso l'abitudine di registrare di giorno in giorno su fogli e foglietti, datandoli saltuariamente, i pensieri e anche i ghiribizzi che mi passavano per la testa. Materiali di officina, tentativi di ricavare forme più stabili dal casino di mutevoli eventi e micro-impulsi che frastornano la giornata di uno che scrive... vorrei riprodurre ciò che mi è capitato di vedere e pensare esclusivamente sotto l'angolo da cui l'ho visto e pensato." Spunti di poetica, idee narrative e saggistiche, giudizi su autori italiani e stranieri, osservazioni sulle proprie opere, appunti di natura politica, filosofica, etica, o semplici divertissement. Questi materiali sono il frutto di molteplici esperienze, amicizie e scambi intellettuali, che ci introducono nel laboratorio esistenziale e creativo di un grande maestro della letteratura italiana. Materiali manoscritti inediti 1963-1989 trascritti e ripuliti nei tardi anni Novanta
