Marcel è un bretone che vive a Pechino, dove gestisce la sua agenzia di trasporti internazionali. Un’affascinante e misteriosa cliente lo coinvolgerà suo malgrado in un intrigo internazionale che si dipanerà su più frontiere, non solo geografiche, ma anche umane. Tra servizi segreti, traffico d’armi, rivolte indipendentiste, amori e amicizie, ci lasciamo condurre da Mario Tettamanti attraverso un’Europa e un’Asia tutte da scoprire. Mario Tettamanti, cittadino svizzero, è nato nel 1949 a Lugano. Di formazione economista, ha svolto buona parte della sua attività lavorativa presso la banca svizzera UBS a Zurigo, Londra, New York e Lugano. Dal 1998 fino al 2010 ha lavorato quale editorialista di temi economici presso il “Corriere del Ticino”. Nel 2011 si è trasferito in Cina, a Pechino, dove ha registrato una sua società di consulenza. La sua passione per la scrittura si è concretizzata in un racconto intitolato Pechino si tinge d’inganno (Armando Dadò editore, Locarno, Svizzera 2014). In seguito, con altri due autori (Yu Xugang e Cristiano Rizzi) ha partecipato alla stesura di quattro volumi in lingua inglese su argomenti economici riguardanti la Cina. Tutti i volumi sono editi da World Scientific di Singapore.

In the 1990s Svetlana Broz, granddaughter of former Yugoslav head of state Marshal Tito, volunteered her services as a physician in war-torn Bosnia. She discovered that her patients were not only in need of medical care, but that they urgently had a story to tell, a story suppressed by nationalist politicians and the mainstream media. What Broz heard compelled her to devote herself over the next several years to the collection of firsthand testimonies from the war. These testimonies show that ordinary people can and do resist the murderous ideology of genocide even under the most terrible historical circumstances. We are introduced to Mile Plakalovic, a magnificent humanist, who drove his taxi through the streets of Sarajevo, picking the wounded up off the sidewalk and delivering food and clothing to young and old, even when the bombing was at its worst. We meet Velimir Milosevic, poet, who traveled with an actor and entertained children as they hid in basements to avoid the bombing and gunfire, and we hear the stories of countless others who put themselves in grave danger to help others, regardless of ethnic background. Faced with a world in which unspeakable crimes not only went unpunished but were rewarded with glory, profit, and power, the Bosnians of all faiths who testify in this book were starkly confronted with the limits and possibilities of their own ethical choices. Here, in their own words they describe how people helped one another across ethnic lines and refused the myths promoted by the engineers of genocide. This book refutes the stereotype of inevitable natural enmities in the Balkans and reveals the responsibility of individual actions and political manipulations for the genocide; it is a searing portrait of the experience of war as well as a provocative study of the possibilities of resistance and solidarity. The testimonies reverberate far beyond the frontiers of the former Yugoslavia. This compelling book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the reality on the ground of the ethnic conflicts of the late twentieth and the twenty-first centuries.

The Accidental Woman is a wickedly funny novel from bestseller Jonathan Coe For Maria, nothing is certain. Her life is a chain of accidents. Untouched by friendship, unimpressed by devoted Ronny and his endless marriage proposals, she lives in a world of her own, but not of her own making. Even as she stumbled on through university, work, marriage and motherhood, Maria finds it hard to see what all the fuss is about. Will our heroine ever be able to control the direction of her life, or will it end, as it began, by accident? What does chance next have in store for her? From the author of the award-winning The Rotters' Club and What a Carve Up!, The Accidental Woman will be enjoyed by readers of Nick Hornby and William Boyd and centres on a quirky and highly individual woman who is still struggling to find her place in life. 'The Accidental Woman has a cocky individual voice of its own. . . here's precocious, rebellious talent' Mail on Sunday 'Slyly parodies the clichés of most first novels' Guardian 'A convincing stuffy of the random impetuses by which human lives tend to be governed. It is also very funny' Spectator Jonathan Coe's novels are filled with moving, astute observations of life and love, and are written with a revealing honesty that has captivated a generation of readers. His other titles, The Accidental Woman, The Rotters' Club (winner of the Everyman Wodehouse prize), The Closed Circle, The Dwarves of Death, The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim, The House of Sleep (winner of the 1998 Prix Médicis Étranger), A Touch of Love, What a Carve Up!

A prize-winning novel inspired by true WWII events. “An intense, moving book that tells the story of stories: what happens when Fascism befalls a country.” —Esquire (Italy) 1938. Thirty-two countries convene to decide how to deal with the influx of Jews fleeing Nazi Germany and Austria. Good intentions abound, but no government is willing to accept the refugees. At the same time, Fascist Italy is introducing its infamous racial laws. In this new, stirring novel Lia Levi portrays Italy’s tragic past through the story of a Jewish family, plagued by doubts, passions, weaknesses, impulses, and betrayals. Set in Genoa in the years of the racial laws, the novel follows a would-be genius son, a disappointed, regretful mother, a wise but irresolute father, an eccentric grandfather, nosy uncles, cousins who are always coming and going. How do individuals face the darkest periods of history? Will anyone rebel against the spread of violence and discrimination? Will anyone welcome them if this family flees certain persecution? A harrowing story that resonates with special urgency in our time. “Levi has a fluid style and a clear talent for storytelling.” —Kirkus Reviews “A gripping story of childhood during Fascism.” —Rai Cultura “The storytelling is vivid and accessible, engaging and compelling. Levi gives her readers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the day-to-day life of a family subject to the racial laws in Italy during Fascism.” —la Repubblica
