The Island of Capri, August 1939. Italy in the grip of Fascism, the Second World War looming. At a dazzling party under the stars mingling aristocrats, Nazi officers and American millionaires, the writer, ladies’ man and Fascist loose cannon, Curzio Malaparte (1898-1957) – at that time internationally renowned – is accosted by Mussolini's secret police: someone has accused him of murder, the killing of a young English girl, a poet, who had mysteriously fallen from a cliff a few years before – a fall that actually did happen. Malaparte decides to go on the run: helped by a few trusted friends (a spendthrift prince, a Camorra man, an eccentric painter and his inseparable dog Febo) he finds himself embroiled in an impossible investigation. Who's trying to frame him? Could it be that SS officer shadowed by his bloodthirsty Doberman? And what has the terrible (and true) secret hidden in Adolf Hitler’s past to do with the plot against him? Struggling to stay a step ahead of the nightmare that's bearing down on him, the writer is forced to live by his wits, depending on a charming girl with unsuspected talents and the providential assistance of an American journalist, the perfect gentleman, destined to head US military intelligence in Europe. The setting: Capri's landscapes and the house Malaparte is building atop one of the island's most spectacular cliffs. All the while, champagne corks pop, the band plays on, and Europe's high society drifts helplessly to its doom. But Malaparte won't play that game: no passive victim, he's determined to save his skin, like his mind, still painfully scarred by a war hero’s wounds from over two decades before. Yet that's by no means all there is to it. Readers will soon find themselves up against far more than a mere literary fiction: the tale Malaparte is telling covers his entire past life; more than just a novel, he’s responding to the challenge of a lifetime. Only at the very end shall we know if he has lived up to it, or failed. Launching Monaldi & Sorti’s new masterwork. A FIRST IN ITALY, A FIRST WORLDWIDE

Throughout the world, people spend much of their time with animal companions of various kinds, frequently with cats and dogs. What meanings do we make of these relationships? In the ecocritical collection Reading cats and Dogs, a diverse array of scholars considers the philosophy, literature, and film devoted to human relationships with companion species. In addition to illuminating famous animal stories by Beatrix Potter, Jack London, Italo Svevo, and Michael Ondaatje, readers are introduced to the dog poems of Shuntarō Tanikawa, a Turkish documentary on stray cats as neighborhood companions, and the representation of diverse animal companions in Cameroonian novels. Focusing on “Stray and Feral Companions,” “The Usefulness of Companion Animals,” and “Problematizing Companion Animals,” Reading Cats and Dogs aims both to confirm and topple readers’ assumptions about the fellow travelers with whom we share our lives, our streets and fields, and our planet. Fifteen contributors from various countries reveal the aesthetic, ethical, and psychological complexities of our multispecies relationships, demonstrating the richness of ecocritical animal studies.

Experience postwar Europe through the diary of a fascinating and witty twentieth-century writer and artist. Recording his travels in France and Switzerland, Curzio Malaparte encounters famous figures such as Cocteau and Camus and captures the fraught, restless spirit of Paris after the trauma of war. In 1947 Curzio Malaparte returned to Paris for the first time in fourteen years. In between, he had been condemned by Mussolini to five years in exile and, on release, repeatedly imprisoned. In his intervals of freedom, he had been dispatched as a journalist to the Eastern Front, and though many of his reports from the bloodlands of Poland and Ukraine were censored, his experiences there became the basis for his unclassifiable postwar masterpiece and international bestseller, Kaputt. Now, returning to the one country that had always treated him well, the one country he had always loved, he was something of a star, albeit one that shines with a dusky and disturbing light. The journal he kept while in Paris records a range of meetings with remarkable people—Jean Cocteau and a dourly unwelcoming Albert Camus among them—and is full of Malaparte’s characteristically barbed reflections on the temper of the time. It is a perfect model of ambiguous reserve as well as humorous self-exposure. There is, for example, Malaparte’s curious custom of sitting out at night and barking along with the neighborhood dogs—dogs, after all, were his only friends when in exile. The French find it puzzling, to say the least; when it comes to Switzerland, it is grounds for prosecution!

Within a biographical context, this critical study explores the way in which Malaparte used his political pamphlets, prose poems, satirical verse and travel writings for the purposes of self-re-invention. The changing nature of the writer's rapport with his readership is also closely analysed, as this volume sheds new light on the controversies which surrounded one of the most versatile Italian writers of the twentieth century.

A landmark biography of the most famous Italian journalist of the twentieth century, an inspiring and often controversial woman who defied the codes of reportage and established the "La Fallaci" style of interview. Oriana Fallaci is known for her uncompromising vision. To retrace Fallaci's life means to retrace the course of history from World War II to 9/11. As a child, Fallaci enlisted herself in the Italian Resistance alongside her father. Her hatred of fascism and authoritarian regimes would accompany her throughout her life. Covering the entertainment industry early on in her career, she created an original, abrasive interview style, focusing on her subject's emotions, contradictions, and facial expressions more than their words. When she grew bored of interviewing movie stars and directors, she turned her attention to the greatest international figures of the time: Khomeini, Gaddafi, Indira Gandhi, and Kissinger, placing herself front and center in the story. Reporting from the front lines of the world's greatest conflicts, she provoked her own controversies wherever she was stationed, leaving behind epic collateral damage in her wake. Thanks to unprecedented access to personal records, Cristina De Stefano brings back to life a remarkable woman whose groundbreaking work and torrid love affairs will not soon be forgotten. Oriana Fallaci allows a new generation to discover her story, and witness the passionate, persistent journalism that we urgently need in these times of upheaval and uncertainty.
