Il viaggio in mare segna l’inizio di molte storie di emigrazione. Tra la fine dell’800 e gli anni ’70 del XX secolo milioni di italiani attraversarono il mar Mediterraneo alla ricerca di lavoro e di una vita migliore. Questo fu anche il destino di molti siciliani, il vivere di stenti li mosse verso lidi lontani. Questa storia la racconta Giuseppe Rallo con il suo splendido libro “I Giunchi. Lo Scirocco. Il Ghibli.”. La sua grande famiglia, le sue origini tra le pagine di un libro. I loro umori, le paure, le angosce e le gioie sapientemente descritte e ben analizzate. Apre la vicenda Giacomo Rallo, Comandante di Vascello e commerciante di vini dell’isola di Favignana: intraprendente e pieno di idee innovative, getta le basi di tutto il vissuto di quattro generazioni. Si rievoca la storia di ogni gruppo famigliare e il senso di condivisione e solidarietà che li unì durante quegli anni. Nella Libia vedono la salvezza: essendo una colonia italiana, offriva i presupposti per avere una vita più agiata e soddisfacente, complice il mar Mediterraneo, testimone muto di tante lacrime e speranze. Sfogliando le pagine del testo, i profumi, le musiche e il vento, arrivano ai sensi e acuiscono le emozioni. Arriva anche la loro disperazione, l’abbandono di una terra che amavano immensamente. Ma la famiglia Rallo non si lascia abbattere, ognuno di loro troverà il modo per ricostruire la propria vita, pur avendo nel cuore quel pezzo di Africa che ancora oggi continua a sanguinare. Giuseppe Rallo (Tripoli 1957). Medico legale. Professore aggregato presso l’Università di Roma “Sapienza”. Sin da ragazzo ha mostrato una particolare predisposizione per l’arte, per la letteratura ed in genere una spiccata sensibilità per l’ambito letterario.

Ha curato l’organizzazione di un convegno per il Rotary International presso il Bernini Bristol, a Roma, tenendo una lezione magistrale sulla Memoria degli Italiani di Libia: Emigranti e profughi. Ha curato l’organizzazione di un convegno per l’Accademia della Cucina Italiana: “A tavola con la storia: percorso gastronomico e culturale del tonno dalla civiltà del Mediterraneo a Favignana, regina delle tonnare”.

A History of Siena provides a concise and up-to-date biography of the city, from its ancient and medieval development up to the present day, and makes Siena’s history, culture, and traditions accessible to anyone studying or visiting the city. Well informed by archival research and recent scholarship on medieval Siena and the Italian city-states, this book places Siena’s development in its larger context, both temporally and geographically. In the process, this book offers new interpretations of Siena’s artistic, political, and economic development, highlighting in particular the role of pilgrimage, banking, and class conflict. The second half of the book provides an important analysis of the historical development of Siena’s nobility, its unique system of neighborhood associations (contrade) and the race of the Palio, as well as an overview of the rise and fall of Siena’s troubled bank, the Monte dei Paschi. This book is accessible to undergraduates and tourists, while also offering plenty of new insights for graduate students and scholars of all periods of Sienese history.

From this major author comes a totally unique history of the twentieth century. Eschewing the traditional model for histories of this kind – blow-by-blow political narratives typically overloaded with detail - Jeremy Black offers us instead a brilliant thematic account of the last 100 years with the environment and the continuing strength of religious belief at its centre. Looking back to the 1910s and 1920s, Black begins with "the greatest issue of all" – the natural environment and its destruction, and moves to show how our world been transformed by urbanisation and development. Amazing developments took place across the century: men walked on the moon, the internet revolutionised communications; advances in health and medicine; developments in manufacturing and technology; economic globalization – all have changed the way different parts of the world related to each other. How have these revolutionary changes impacted on religion and politics? In the final sections of the book, Black looks at the persistence and growing extremism in religious belief, how change creates instability and wars, and how power blocs emerged and collapsed in response to all these developments. This is twentieth century world history on a truly global scale. The Twentieth Century World forces us to rethink the way we view the past, and offers us a new way to understand the present.

'Ahmad has created a moving and visceral account of conflict, hope and the power of music' Hannah Beckerman, Observer The incredible and inspirational true story of one young man's struggle to find peace during war, and the power of music to bring hope to a desperate nation. ____________ One morning in war-torn Damascus, a starving man drags a piano into a rubbled street. Everything he once knew has been destroyed by war. Amidst ruin and despair, he begins to play. He plays of love and hope, he plays for his family and his fellow Syrians. He plays even though he could be killed for doing so. As word of his defiance spreads around the world, he becomes a beacon of hope and even resistance. Yet he fears for his wife and children - the more he plays, the more he and his family are endangered until, finally, he must make a terrible choice . . . Aeham Ahmad's spellbinding and uplifting true story tells of the triumph of love and hope, the incredible bonds of family, and the healing power of music in even the very darkest of places. ___________ 'In amongst the wreckage scenes of hope.

Stieg Larsson is best known—all over the world now—as the author of the Millennium trilogy, but during his career as a journalist he was a critical protagonist in the battle against racism and for democracy in Sweden and Europe, and one of the founders of the anti-fascist magazine Expo. Kurdo Baksi first met Larsson in 1992; it was the beginning of an intense friendship, and a fruitful but challenging work relationship. Now, six years after Larsson's death, Baksi has written about his close friend. This is a candid and rounded memoir in which Baksi answers the questions a multitude of Larsson's readers and admirers have already asked: about his upbringing; the recurring death threats from neo-Nazi groups; his insomnia; his prodigious capacity for work on causes about which he was passionate; his feminism—so evident in his novels—and his dogmatism. But Baksi also reveals concern about Stieg's well-being, and his uncompromising side, which sometimes got him into trouble. What was he like as a colleague? Who provided the inspiration for his now-immortal characters (Baksi is one of the few who appears as himself)? Who was Lisbeth Salander? Stieg Larsson, My Friendis an eloquent and troubling insight into the life of a man who has rapidly become one of the world's bestselling authors.

Winner of the National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category A monumental work of nonfiction on a wartime atrocity, its sixty-year denial, and the impact of its truth Jan Gross's hugely controversial Neighbors was a historian's disclosure of the events in the small Polish town of Jedwabne on July 10, 1941, when the citizens rounded up the Jewish population and burned them alive in a barn. The massacre was a shocking secret that had been suppressed for more than sixty years, and it provoked the most important public debate in Poland since 1989. From the outset, Anna Bikont reported on the town, combing through archives and interviewing residents who survived the war period. Her writing became a crucial part of the debate and she herself an actor in a national drama. Part history, part memoir, The Crime and the Silence is the journalist's account of these events: both the story of the massacre told through oral histories of survivors and witnesses, and a portrait of a Polish town coming to terms with its dark past. Including the perspectives of both heroes and perpetrators, Bikont chronicles the sources of the hatred that exploded against Jews and asks what myths grow on hidden memories, what destruction they cause, and what happens to a society that refuses to accept a horrific truth. A profoundly moving exploration of being Jewish in modern Poland that Julian Barnes called "one of the most chilling books," The Crime and the Silence is a vital contribution to Holocaust history and a fascinating story of a town coming to terms with its dark past.
