Localmente noto come Moskenstraumen, il Maelström di Norvegia è un fenomeno marino causato dal passaggio e dal contrasto di forti correnti di marea in uno stretto tra due isole del gruppo delle Lofoten. Di recente studiato con metodi informatici, fin dai tempi di Paolo Diacono (VIII secolo d. C.) Il fenomeno ha dato origine ad un possente mito geografico dai contorni oscuri e paurosi, alimentato in epoca medioevale dalla superstizione dei marinai del nord Europa e poi recepito da geografi, cartografi ed eruditi europei dei secoli XVI-XVII. Parzialmente ridimensionata dalla critica illuministica, la leggenda del Maelström riesplose in pieno secolo XIX grazie al genio letterario di Edgar Allan Poe, che influenzò non solo altri romanzieri come Jules Verne o Emilio Salgari, ma anche i mass media più qualificati della seconda metà dell’Ottocento, repertori enciclopedici inclusi, prima che il mito venisse nuovamente e definitivamente ridimensionato dalla scienza agli inizi del XX secolo. Questa particolare influenza di Poe sulla cultura romantica dell’Ottocento europeo, è una delle personali scoperte dell’autore, il quale ripercorre e ricostruisce, sulla base di innumerevoli fonti documentarie, la straordinaria storia mitografica del “grande Maelström di Norvegia”, e cerca di dimostrare che il mitema in questione rappresentò non solo una piccola cartina di tornasole degli umori e delle mode culturali degli ultimi cinque secoli, ma che nell’ambito della psicologia dell’inconscio esso si riallaccia ad una figura archetipica che va ben oltre i limiti dimensionali della geografia reale, manifestandosi per molti secoli come l’espressione simbolica di categorie intellettuali ed emotive ben radicate nell’immaginario collettivo di sempre. Pertanto, molte pagine sono state dedicate alle problematiche psicologiche ed esistenziali di E. A. Poe, per il quale il Maelström rappresentava essenzialmente una figura metaforica roteante all’interno della propria biografia spirituale. Particolarmente originale appare infine la riscoperta dei “contributi italiani” alla mitografia del Maelström, come quello di Giacomo Casanova (che è stato il primo autore ad introdurre questo mitema nella letteratura di invenzione), di romanzieri come Emilio Salgari e Luigi Motta, e quello molto più scientifico – ma ancora quasi sconosciuto – del viaggiatore secentesco Francesco Negri. Un intero racconto anonimo sul Maelström e pubblicato in una rivista milanese del 1839, è inoltre integralmente riportato nelle pagine del volume, che alla fine discute le teorie dell’italiano Felice Vinci sulla pretesa identità filologico-mitopoietica tra il Maelström di Norvegia e la Cariddi omerica.

Tra gli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta del secolo scorso l'imprenditore Rolando Pelizza, su indicazione del suo "maestro" Ettore (presunto Majorana), il monaco Pellegrino Ernetti e l'ingegnere Alessandro Porro hanno costruito delle macchine straordinarie, apparecchi con potenzialità tali da permettere all'umanità quel balzo in avanti di cui ha bisogno ormai da troppo tempo. Purtroppo tali invenzioni sono state rese pubbliche solo parzialmente, rimanendo per lo più appannaggio di una cerchia molto ristretta di persone. Abbiamo scoperto che questo tipo di tecnologie, di cui nessuno finora è riuscito a comprendere il funzionamento, poggiano su una visione della fisica che per certi aspetti ricorda la teoria unitaria del mondo fisico e biologico del prof. Luigi Fantappiè. Vedremo perché l'universo materiale, che percepiamo attorno a noi grazie ai sensi o attraverso la strumentazione scientifica, non esaurisce tutta la realtà, e realizzeremo che al di là del muro c'è ancora molto da scoprire.

The Book of Disquiet is one of the great literary works of the twentieth century. Written over the course of Fernando Pessoa's life, it was first published in 1982, pieced together from the thousands of individual manuscript pages left behind by Pessoa after his death in 1935. Now this fragmentary modernist masterpiece appears in a major new edition that unites Margaret Jull Costa's celebrated translation with the most complete version of the text ever produced. It is presented here, for the first time in English, by order of original composition, and accompanied by facsimiles of the original manuscript. Narrated principally by an assistant bookkeeper named Bernardo Soares - an alias of sorts for Pessoa himself - The Book of Disquiet is 'the autobiobraphy of someone who never existed', a mosaic of dreams, of hope and despair; a hymn to the streets and cafs of 1930s Lisbon, and an extraordinary record of the inner life of one of the century's most important writers. This new edition represents the most complete vision of Pessoa's genius.

A brilliantly realized evocation of the thoughts and voices of Captain Scott and the four men with him, who suffered extraordinary hardships before finally dying during their 1912 attempt to be the first to reach the South Pole. 'Bainbridge's account of the horribly familiar story is both fresh and sure-footed. The power of her imagination, her clarity of expression and mastery of language are more striking than anything else I have read this year' Jane Shilling, Sunday Telegraph The Birthday Boys is one of Beryl Bainbridge's most acclaimed novels, telling the story of Scott's doomed expedition through the voices of five men on the voyage. As Scott, Petty Officer Taff Evans, ship's doctor Dr Edward Wilson, Lieutenant Henry Bowers and Captain Lawrence Oates step forward for their place in the narrative, the reader is gripped by the the characters themselves alongside the vividly evoked period.

School Days (Chemin-d’Ecole) is a captivating narrative based on Patrick Chamoiseau’s childhood in Fort-de-France, Martinique. It is a revelatory account of the colonial world that shaped one of the liveliest and most creative voices in French and Caribbean literature today. Through the eyes of the boy Chamoiseau, we meet his severe, Francophile teacher, a man intent upon banishing all remnants of Creole from his students’ speech. This domineering man is succeeded by an equally autocratic teacher, an Africanist and proponent of “Negritude.” Along the way we are also introduced to Big Bellybutton, the class scapegoat, whose tales of Creole heroes and heroines, magic, zombies, and fantastic animals provide a fertile contrast to the imported French fairy tales told in school. In prose punctuated by Creolisms and ribald humor, Chamoiseau infuses the universal terrors, joys, and disappointments of a child’s early school days with the unique experiences of a Creole boy forced to confront the dominant culture in a colonial school. School Days mixes understanding with laughter, knowledge with entertainment—in ways that will fascinate and delight readers of all ages.

Teratoid Heights realistically depicts the lifecycles of various species found in the tide location's cave-riddled terrain, down to the most painstakingly detailed behavioral patterns. It matters not that both Teratoid Heights and its inhabitants are entirely fictional. Brinkman taps into the zeitgeist of modern suburban America with what seems to be a mixture of J.R.R. Tolkein-style adventure, video-game inspired syncopation and an endless barrage of cable-television nature films all filtered through the reddened eyes of a marijuana-addled teenager. A book that reveals levels of humor and humanity no matter what age the reader.
