Straordinaria terra di confine tra Est e Ovest, l’Ucraina è luogo pressoché sconosciuto al lettore italiano. Spesso confusa con la Russia o associata a una stereotipata immagine di grigiore post-sovietico, il più grande paese d’Europa per estensione geografica è tuttavia una nazione ricca di storia in cui si incontrano e dialogano culture composite (ebrea, polacca, armena, tatara, asburgica).
L’autore, facendo propria la lezione di grandi narratori di viaggio come Chatwin, Kapuściński e Terzani, attraversa l’Ucraina dai Carpazi alla Crimea: incontra gli ex dissidenti che hanno lottato per l’indipendenza dall’URSS, scrittori dalla cui immaginazione sta nascendo la nuova letteratura nazionale, gente comune che gli parla dei progetti e delle aspettative per il futuro; ci conduce nei caffè asburgici di Leopoli, nei luoghi letterari di Gogol e Chekhov e nelle miniere del Donbas; ci fa ammirare i monasteri ortodossi di Pochayiv e di Kyiv, le facciate secessioniste di Chernivtsi, il gotico stalinista di Zaporizhzhya, le spiagge di Yalta e i villaggi hutsul di Yaremche. Ma soprattutto ci descrive un paese nuovo e dinamico che, tra accelerazioni e fermate, sta cercando di lasciarsi alle spalle la patina brumosa del post-totalitarismo per diventare soggetto della Storia.

Fondata nel 1201 come avamposto cristiano contro le popolazioni pagane, membro della Lega anseatica, seconda capitale del Regno di Svezia poi inglobata nell’Impero russo all’inizio del 18° secolo, Riga è una città dalla storia ricca e secolare, eppure ancora poco conosciuta. Tra ricordi personali, episodi storici e reminiscenze letterarie, l’autore restituisce la magia di una città crocevia tra Russia, Europa Occidentale e Scandinavia che, dopo il declino conosciuto in epoca sovietica, si è contraddistinta per una vivacità culturale senza precedenti. Con uno stile originale ci accompagna attraverso il quartiere di Maskavas, i vicoli della Città Vecchia e i luoghi tragici dell’Ebraismo lettone; ci racconta i capolavori dello Jugendstil baltico, le spiagge bianche di Jurmala – stazione termale frequentata dalla nobiltà europea dell’Ottocento – e gli aneddoti legati a personaggi vissuti nella capitale lettone come Richard Wagner e Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa.

"Monumental." --New York Times Book Review NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From one of the foremost historians of the period and the acclaimed author of Inferno and Catastrophe: 1914, The Secret War is a sweeping examination of one of the most important yet underexplored aspects of World War II—intelligence—showing how espionage successes and failures by the United States, Britain, Russia, Germany, and Japan influenced the course of the war and its final outcome. Spies, codes, and guerrillas played unprecedentedly critical roles in the Second World War, exploited by every nation in the struggle to gain secret knowledge of its foes, and to sow havoc behind the fronts. In The Secret War, Max Hastings presents a worldwide cast of characters and some extraordinary sagas of intelligence and resistance, to create a new perspective on the greatest conflict in history.

There is a saying in Russian jails. Ne ver ne boysya ne prosi: don't trust, don't fear, don't beg. Don't trust because life here will always disappoint you. Don't fear because whatever you're scared of, you are powerless to prevent it. And don't beg because nobody ever begged their way out of a Russian prison cell. The plan was to attach a Greenpeace pod to Gazprom's platform and launch a peaceful protest against oil being pumped from the icy waters of the Arctic. However, heavily armed commandos flooded the deck of the Arctic Sunrise and the Arctic Thirty began their ordeal at the hands of Putin's regime. Told in the activists' own words and for the first time, this is a dramatic and inspiring story of incarceration and the ensuing emotional campaign to bring the protestors home.

The first reports seemed absurd. A Russian dissident, formerly an employee of the KGB and its successor, the FSB, had seemingly been poisoned in a London hotel. As Alexander Litvinenko's condition worsened, however, and he was transferred to hospital and placed under armed guard, the story took a sinister turn. On 23 November 2006, Litvinenko died, apparently from polonium-210 radiation poisoning. He himself, in a dramatic statement from his deathbed, accused his former employers at the Kremlin of being responsible for his murder. Who was Alexander Litvinenko? What had happened in Russia since the end of the Cold War to make his life there untenable, and even in severe jeopardy in Britain? How did he really die, and who killed him? In his spokesman and close friend, Alex Goldfarb, and widow Marina, we have two people who know more than anyone about the real Sasha Litvinenko, and about his murder. Their riveting book sheds astonishing light not just on these strange and troubling events but also on the biggest crisis in relations with Russia since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

A collection of final dispatches by the famed journalist, including the first translation of the work that may have led to her murder Anna Politkovskaya won international fame for her courageous reporting. Is Journalism Worth Dying For? is a long-awaited collection of her final writing. Beginning with a brief introduction by the author about her pariah status, the book contains essays that characterize the self-effacing Politkovskaya more fully than she allowed in her other books. From deeply personal statements about the nature of journalism, to horrendous reports from Chechnya, to sensitive pieces of memoir, to, finally, the first translation of the series of investigative reports that Politkovskaya was working on at the time of her murder—pieces many believe led to her assassination. Elsewhere, there are illuminating accounts of encounters with leaders including Lionel Jospin, Tony Blair, George W. Bush, and such exiled figures as Boris Berezovsky, Akhmed Zakaev, Vladimir Bukovsky. Additional sections collect Politkovskaya’s non-political writing, revealing her delightful wit, deep humanity, and willingness to engage with the unfamiliar, as well as her deep regrets about the fate of Russia.

Charles Paterno was seven when he left Castelmezzano, a small mountain town in Basilicata to set sail on one of the rattletrap ships headed to America. Thirty years later he was one of the top builders in New York City, among the first to construct the skyscrapers that would form the world's most famous skyline. Intelligence, brilliance, intuition and an ability to stay ahed of the times made him a leading figure in the life of Manhattan. He created garden communities, focused on new technologies and turned to the best architects. Paterno didn't just want to offer houses, but new lifestyles to tens of thousands of people. His first American dream looked like a white castle at the northernmost tip of Manhattan, where he lived for years with his wife and son, sorrounded by a small but very loyal retinue. A friend of Giuseppe Prezzolini, he donated a library of 20.000 books, the Paterno Library, to the Casa Italiana at Columbia University. Fiorello La Guardia, the Italian-American mayor of New York City, called him a genius. Born into poverty, Paterno died a wealthy man on the green of the most exclusive country club in Westchester.
