Veronica di mestiere fa l’acquerellista per le riviste, i musei e le locandine dei film. Abitando a Torino sa che questa città, al contrario di altre, non ha il talento di distrarre i felici e consolare gli infelici. E sa che la vita ordinaria richiede più audacia di quella di una samurai. Delle samurai conosce e vorrebbe condividere la temerarietà, i costumi, l’arte della cosmesi e le tecniche marziali. Oltre a truccarsi, come loro saprà un giorno anche uccidere? Veronica è una donna “pericolosa”, ma nessuno, a meno che non sia lei stessa a confessarlo, potrebbe dire che è un’assassina. Eppure, forse proprio con una simile accusa, un uomo, in questa notte di ghiaccio, è comparso davanti a lei: sembra voler conoscere la sua storia e sapere cosa abbia fatto nei giorni precedenti. È Veronica, la samurai, colei che ha appiccato l’incendio nell’appartamento che condivideva con il marito, o il delitto di cui è incolpata è addirittura un altro, addirittura peggiore? E questa sua strana pelle, di agata rossa e cinabro, a cosa sarebbe dovuta se non all’incendio da cui si è miracolosamente salvata? Spetterà a quell’uomo, che le siede accanto in una camera di ospedale, scoprire la verità sui fatti e, soprattutto, sulle intenzioni di Veronica. E dovrà farlo rigorosamente entro le prime luci dell’alba. Gabriele Di Fronzo, alla sua seconda prova narrativa, si conferma grande raccontatore e orchestratore del perturbante.

The ultimate visual guide to Samurai history and culture! The Samurai are continuously celebrated as the greatest warriors the world has ever seen.

Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux étudiants suivant un programme d’études en langue ou commerce japonais, ou encore au lecteur averti intéressé par l’Histoire et l’Economie du Japon. Le Japon de 2014 se trouve à la croisée de nombreux défis de taille, qui sont abordés succinctement en fin de livre. Trois ans après le « tsunami » meurtrier de la région de « Tohoku », où en est le processus de reconstruction ? Le nucléaire va-t-il être remplacé par les Energies Renouvelables ? Comment le pays va-t-il faire face aux défis démographiques ? Le Japon est-il toujours un pays Innovateur ? En préparant un cours, l’auteur s’est aperçu qu’il y avait, surtout en langue anglaise, assez bien de livres sur l’Histoire et l'Economie du Japon en général, surtout après 1945, mais très... Plus > peu de livres récents se concentrant sur une lecture (purement) économique de l’Histoire entière du Japon. Malheureusement, il y a encore moins de choix en langue française. D’où, sans doute, la pertinence de cet ouvrage!

‘Fiercely intelligent, very funny and unlike anything else I’ve ever read’ MARK HADDON 'Original...witty...playful...a wonderfully funny book' JAMES WOOD 'A triumph – a genuinely new story, a genuinely new form' A. S. BYATT Eleven-year-old Ludo is in search of a father. Raised singlehandedly by his mother Sibylla, Ludo’s been reading Greek, Arabic, Japanese and a little Hebrew since the age of four; but reading Homer in the original whilst riding the Circle Line on the London Underground isn’t enough to satisfy the boy’s boundless curiosity. Is he a genius? A real-life child prodigy? He’s grown up watching Seven Samurai on a hypnotising loop – his mother’s strategy to give him not one but seven male role models. And yet Ludo remains obsessed with the one thing his mother refuses to tell him: his real father’s name. Let loose on London, Ludo sets out on a secret quest to find the last samurai – the father he never knew.
