En un decadente barrio italiano, un amor inesperado crece como una flor en una tierra yerma. En la década de 1980 los veranos en el barrio viejo de Bari transcurren en callejones blancos donde los niños juegan a perseguirse por laberintos de sábanas tendidas entre el aroma de las salsas. Maria, de doce años, es pequeña, morena y de rasgos salvajes, y su actitud insolente le ha valido el apodo de Malacarne. Vive en una tierra sin tiempo, en un barrio donde los abusos se sufren y se infligen y de donde es muy difícil escapar.Y, pese a todo, no está dispuesta a someterse a unas normas que no respeta. Su único apoyo es Michele, el hijo menor del clan de los Sinsangre y, pese a la hostilidad entre ambas familias, entre ellos surge un sentimiento de amistad delicado, casi fraternal, que el tiempo convierte en amor. Un amor que, aunque imposible, les preserva del rencor del resto del mundo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In a decadent Italian neighborhood, an unexpected love grows like a flower in a unfertile lands. In the 1980s, the summers in the old neighborhood of Bari are spent running through white alleys where children play and chase each other through labyrinths of hung sheets stretched among the aroma of food escaping from the windows. Twelve-year-old Maria is small, dark, and has wild features; her insolent attitude has earned her the nickname of “Badblood”. She lives in a land without time, in a neighborhood where abuse is inflicted daily and where it is very difficult to escape from. And, in spite of it all, she is not willing to submit to norms that she does not respect or agree with. Her only support is Michele, the Sinsangre clan’s youngest son. Despite hostility and resentment between the two families, a feeling of delicate, almost brotherly friendship emerges between them that eventually turns into love. A love that, although impossible, takes them away from the resentment and bitterness of the rest of the world.

For fans of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan series comes a captivating family saga focused on a willful young woman's struggles against her oppressive small town by acclaimed Italian author Rosa Ventrella. In old Bari, everyone knows Maria De Santis as "Malacarne," the bad seed. Nicknamed for her dark features, volcanic temperament, and resistance to rules, the headstrong girl can only imagine the possibilities that lie outside her poverty-stricken neighborhood. Growing up with her mother, two brothers, and a tyrannical father, Maria must abide. She does--amid the squalid life to which she was born, the cruelties of her small-minded neighbors, and violence in a constant threat of eruption. As she reconciles her need for escape with the allegiance she feels toward her family, Maria has her salvations: her secret friend, Michele, son of a rival family and every bit the outsider she is, and her passion for books, which may someday take her far, far away. In this exquisitely rendered and sensory-rich novel, Rosa Ventrella explores the limits of loyalty, the redeeming power of friendship and love, and the fire in the soul of one woman who was born to break free.

Brilliantly researched and wonderfully written, LOVE AND CAPITAL reveals the rarely glimpsed and heartbreakingly human side of the man whose works would redefine the world after his death. Drawing upon previously unpublished material, acclaimed biographer Mary Gabriel tells the story of Karl and Jenny Marx's marriage. Through it, we see Karl as never before: a devoted father and husband, a prankster who loved a party, a dreadful procrastinator, freeloader, and man of wild enthusiasms-one of which would almost destroy his marriage. Through years of desperate struggle, Jenny's love for Karl would be tested again and again as she waited for him to finish his masterpiece, Capital. An epic narrative that stretches over decades to recount Karl and Jenny's story against the backdrop of Europe's Nineteenth Century, LOVE AND CAPITAL is a surprising and magisterial account of romance and revolution-and of one of the great love stories of all time.

The British Museum is Falling Down is a brilliant comic satire of academia, religion and human entanglements. First published in 1965, it tells the story of hapless, scooter-riding young research student Adam Appleby, who is trying to write his thesis but is constantly distracted - not least by the fact that, as Catholics in the 1960s, he and his wife must rely on 'Vatican roulette' to avoid a fourth child.

'Arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music,' says Jimi Hendrix's citation in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. James Marshall Hendrix remains unique as an African American who broke out of the traditional 'Black' genres of blues, r&b and soul to play hard rock to an overwhelmingly white audience, almost single-handedly creating what became known as heavy metal. With unprecedented access to Jimi's younger brother, Leon, the two most important women in his life and numerous previously untapped sources, bestselling music biographer Philip Norman resurrects the real Jimi from the almost mythical icon who has continued to influence young guitarists. His death in 1970, aged only twenty-seven when his fame was at its height, has long been rock's greatest unsolved mystery. But finally we learn where the responsibility lay for Jimi's lonely, squalid end. 'An engaging memorial to a rock revolutionary whose music, in contrast to many of his revered Sixties peers, retains much of its explosively thrilling voodoo power' The Times

In Muslims in Spain, 1492-1814: Living and Negotiating in the Land of the Infidel, Eloy Martín-Corrales surveys Hispano-Muslim relations from the late fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, a period of chronic hostilities. Nonetheless there were thousands of Muslims in Spain at that time: ambassadors, exiles, merchants, converts, and travelers. Their negotiating strategies, and the necessary support they found on both shores of the Mediterranean prove that relations between Spaniards and Muslims were based on reasons of state and on a pragmatism that generated intense political and economic ties.These increased enormously after the peace treaties that Spain signed with Muslim countries between 1767 and 1791.
