O familie care a sfidat destinul. O familie care a învins. O familie care a ajuns legendară. CEL MAI BINE VÂNDUT ROMAN DIN ITALIA ÎN 2019. Romanul care a cucerit lumea în curs de traducere în 22 de țări. Din momentul în care ajunge la Palermo în 1799 familia Florio nu se mai uită înapoi și decide să ajungă deasupra tuturor cât mai bogată și cât mai puternică. Și reușește: în scurt timp ambițioși și motivați frații Paolo și Ignazio își transformă prăvălia de condimente în cea mai bună din oraș apoi încep să cumpere case și terenuri de la nobilii din Palermo și își pornesc propria companie de navigație. Iar când Vincenzo fiul lui Paolo preia conducerea familiei ascensiunea continuă grație unui vin de calitate inferioară care se transformă într-un nectar regesc. Totuși pentru oamenii din Palermo ei rămân niște „străini“ al căror sânge „pute de sudoare“. Bărbați excepționali dar fragili cei din familia Florio au nevoie de femei excepționale: femei ca Giuseppina care sacrifică totul sau Giulia tânăra milaneză care intră tumultuos în viața lui Vincenzo. „În locul acesta până și aerul este putred. Întregul oraș e mizerabil – observă acest lucru dintr-o singură privire. Palermo este un loc imund. Mergând în față nepoata ei râde zgomotos și face piruete. «Cum poate oare să fie atât de fericită?» se gândește ea cu amărăciune târându-și picioarele pe trotuarul murdar. «Pe de altă parte da e adevărat: nu avea nimic deci nu a pierdut nimic. Vittoria nu are decât de câștigat». Într-adevăr copila își imaginează viitorul și visează; visează că a încetat să mai fie un orfan oarecare acceptat din milă. Își imaginează că are ceva economii poate chiar și un soț cu care să nu se înrudească nici pe departe. Și libertate: mai multă libertate decât cea care i-ar fi fost sortită în sătucul ei strâmt prins între munți și mare.“

The epic saga behind the Disney-produced Hulu Original Series The Lions of Sicily Based on the true history of the uncrowned kings of Sicily: the story of a family, restless and ambitious, shrewd and determined to be richer and more powerful than anybody else. In this grand, sweeping epic inspired by the real lives of history-making titans, international best-selling author Stefania Auci brings to life the dark secrets, the loves and betrayals, and the cruel acts of revenge that marked the Florio family’s century of influence. The Florios arrive in Sicily, with nothing but the clothes on their back after an earthquake destroys their hometown. Against all odds, the family begins anew despite the looming Napoleonic wars and devastating plagues. But when Vincenzo is spurned by his aristocratic lover, he vows to avenge his honor by becoming the wealthiest man in Italy. Sacrificing love and family, he strives to buy what cannot be his by birth. Not to be outdone by the men, the Florio women unapologetically demand their place outside the restraints of caring mothers, alluring lovers, or wounded wives. Giulia, though only a mistress, is fiercely intelligent and runs the empire from the shadows. Angelina, born a bastard, charts her own future against the wishes of her father. In this epic yet intimate tale of power, passion, and revenge, the rise and fall of a family taps into the universal desire to become more than who we are born as.

Sizilien im 19. Jahrhundert. Als die Brüder Paolo und Ignazio Florio in Palermo ihr Glück suchen, besitzen sie nichts. Außer dem Willen, es ganz nach oben zu schaffen, und den Mut, Neues zu wagen. Aus einem unbedeutenden Gewürzladen machen sie ein florierendes Unternehmen. Sie investieren klug und bringen es allen Anfeindungen zum Trotz zu Geld und Ansehen. Dann stirbt Paolo, und das Schicksal der Familie liegt in der Hand seines Sohnes Vincenzo. Unter ihm gedeiht die Casa Florio, in seinen Kellern wird aus dem Wein der Armen, dem Marsala, Siziliens größter Schatz. Und in der Mailänder Händlertochter Giulia findet Vincenzo nicht nur die große Liebe seines Lebens, sondern auch eine tapfere Mitstreiterin. Doch dann drohen Familienstreitigkeiten und Schicksalsschläge die Florios zu Fall zu bringen ...

Il romanzo italiano che ha conquistato il mondo «Una scrittura visiva, che ci immerge nei luoghi e nella storia, che non indulge al sentimentalismo e rimane lucida e anche un po’ spietata. Con echi del Gattopardo e del Camilleri storico. » Famiglia Cristiana «Avvincente e documentato, parla di coraggio e ambizione, di sentimenti e di magarìe, ed è la sorpresa di questa stagione editoriale.» TTL - La Stampa «Da tempo non leggevo un romanzo così: grande storia e grande letteratura. Le vicende e i sentimenti umani sono sorretti da una scrittura solida, matura, piena di passione e di grazia. Stefania Auci ha scritto un romanzo meraviglioso, indimenticabile.» Nadia Terranova «Stefania Auci, brava conterranea e collega, merita il successo che sta ricevendo.» Alessandro D'Avenia «Storie d'amore, di sogni, tradimenti e fatica in un romanzo che vibra di vita.» Marie Claire «Il romanzo intreccia le vicende storiche con la vita privata dei Florio, trasportando il lettore in un mondo affascinante di forti personalità.» La Lettura Corriere della Sera «Stefania Auci, con uno stile diretto e penetrante, ha scritto un libro indimenticabile.» Il Foglio - Giulia Ciarapica Dal momento in cui sbarcano a Palermo da Bagnara Calabra, nel 1799, i Florio guardano avanti, irrequieti e ambiziosi, decisi ad arrivare più in alto di tutti. A essere i più ricchi, i più potenti. E ci riescono: in breve tempo, i fratelli Paolo e Ignazio rendono la loro bottega di spezie la migliore della città, poi avviano il commercio di zolfo, acquistano case e terreni dagli spiantati nobili palermitani, creano una loro compagnia di navigazione… E quando Vincenzo, figlio di Paolo, prende in mano Casa Florio, lo slancio continua, inarrestabile: nelle cantine Florio, un vino da poveri – il marsala – viene trasformato in un nettare degno della tavola di un re; a Favignana, un metodo rivoluzionario per conservare il tonno – sott’olio e in lattina – ne rilancia il consumo… In tutto ciò, Palermo osserva con stupore l’espansione dei Florio, ma l’orgoglio si stempera nell’invidia e nel disprezzo: quegli uomini di successo rimangono comunque «stranieri», «facchini» il cui «sangue puzza di sudore». Non sa, Palermo, che proprio un bruciante desiderio di riscatto sociale sta alla base dell’ambizione dei Florio e segna nel bene e nel male la loro vita; che gli uomini della famiglia sono individui eccezionali ma anche fragili e – sebbene non lo possano ammettere – hanno bisogno di avere accanto donne altrettanto eccezionali: come Giuseppina, la moglie di Paolo, che sacrifica tutto – compreso l’amore – per la stabilità della famiglia, oppure Giulia, la giovane milanese che entra come un vortice nella vita di Vincenzo e ne diventa il porto sicuro, la roccia inattaccabile. Intrecciando il percorso dell’ascesa commerciale e sociale dei Florio con le loro tumultuose vicende private, sullo sfondo degli anni più inquieti della Storia italiana – dai moti del 1818 allo sbarco di Garibaldi in Sicilia – Stefania Auci dipana una saga familiare d’incredibile forza, così viva e pulsante da sembrare contemporanea.

Los Florio, una poderosa dinastía convertida en leyenda que dejó su huella en la historia de Italia. Ignazio y Paolo Florio llegan a Palermo en 1799 huyendo de la pobreza y de los terremotos que sacuden su tierra natal, en Calabria. Aunque los comienzos no son fáciles, en poco tiempo los hermanos consiguen convertir su tienda de especias en la mejor de la ciudad. Decididos y tenaces, expanden el negocio con la seda que traen de Inglaterra y no tardarán en comprar las tierras y los palacios de la aristocracia arruinada. Cuando Vincenzo, el hijo de Paolo, tome las riendas de la Casa Florio, el avance será ya imparable: con su propia compañía naviera llevarán el Marsala de sus bodegas hasta los paladares más exquisitos de Europa y América. En Palermo su ascenso se observa con asombro, pero también con envidia y desprecio. Durante décadas seguirán considerándolos una familia de «extranjeros» cuya «sangre apesta a sudor». Nadie es capaz de comprender hasta qué punto en el corazón de los Florio late un ardiente deseo de éxito social que condicionará sus vidas durante generaciones, para bien y para mal. La novela revelación del año 2019 en Italia. «Me ha conquistado esta extraordinaria historia de los Florio, una familia de humildes comerciantes que se convirtieron en los reyes sin corona del Palermo del siglo XIX.»- Ildefonso Falcones.

Forever Young offers a wide-ranging survey of the notion of longevity, from antiquity to the present. The author looks at the many manifestations of one of humanity's most powerful dreams: the prolongation of life and youth with immortality as a final objective. Using a variety of sources - religion, folk traditions, science, literature and art - the book shows on the one hand the persistence of the human spirit (the desire for longevity is revealed as an extremely stable archetype throughout history) and on the other, the innovations specific to each period or culture due to the progress of science and differing ideologies and attitudes. Nowadays, prolonging life and youth has become a major goal of society due to a combination of several factors: the spectacular increase in life expectancy; the advances of science and especially genetics; and, finally, the decline of religious belief in life after death, emphasizing the only remaining certainty - corporeal life. The author, a specialist in mythology and imagination, approaches his subject in an accessible and engaging way.

Anyone who loves France (or just feels strongly about it), or has succumbed to the spell of Julian Barnes's previous books, will be enraptured by this collection of essays on the country and its culture. Barnes's appreciation extends from France's vanishing peasantry to its hyper-literate pop singers, from the gleeful iconoclasm of nouvelle vague cinema to the orgy of drugs and suffering that is the Tour de France. Above all, Barnes is an unparalleled connoisseur of French writing and writers. Here are the prolific and priapic Simenon, Baudelaire, Sand and Sartre, and several dazzling excursions on the prickly genius of Flaubert. Lively yet discriminating in its enthusiasm, seemingly infinite in its range of reference, and written in prose as stylish as haute couture, Something to Declare is an unadulterated joy.
