A combination of Acciaio and Gomorra, another young talent of Italian fiction denounces her world a Southern Italy that could be different if someone talked about it A market: the one at Rosarno, where a thousand tensions have preceded and warnedthose who should have understood and didnt. A hospital, also in Calabria, where various women have been abandoned in the corridor because those responsible for the stretchers had finished their shift. A factory, typical of the industrialisation of the South, full of illegalities and pollution. Crotone, a city that symbolises the whole region of Calabria, lacking in bookshops and where one of the few booksellers confuses Agota Kristof and Agatha Christie. And finally Rome, where the author studies and where she sees the protests against the condition of women in Iran, without thinking of those secret acts of violence and the inferiority declared and introjected by so many women in Southern Italy. Stories about Italy, from a South that is loved and lived, and for this reason for love denounced. The youngest candidate for the 2010 Strega Prize

Cain
Caino
As in a piece of crime news, a disappearance, a suicide, a wealthy couple, a poor, devout, immigrant maid with psychic powers: a mysterious picture to reconstruct in order to find the culprit if there is one....... Milagro, an immigrant who works in the house of a very wealthy couple, has disappeared. The Police investigate and, very soon, question her employers. But on arriving at the house, all they find is the body of the owner who has hanged himself for no apparent reason; on the computer screen, in the form of a farewell note, is a phrase from Genesis about Cain and Abel. The Police try to reconstruct the incident. They discover that Milagro was a tormented girl, afflicted by a sense of guilt for mysterious events that had happened to her that she did not want to confess to anyone. Her personality had intrigued Max, the man she worked for, a successful marketing director, who had taken her side when his wife criticised her, who had talked to her and realized that she talked to herself believing she was talking to someone. Shortly before his wife and son went away on holiday, Max had discovered that Milagro was even able to levitate like a saint, or someone possessed. One evening, after following her to a mass where they listened to a sermon about Cain and Abel, which upset her, and having witnessed Milagro being attacked in a park and done nothing to help her, Max lost it. Then the tragedy: Max kills her, Maxs wife hides the corpse but the next day the man cant stand the sense of guilt and kills himself.

A Kiss
Un bacio
A psychological thriller that is a vibrant indictment against the fear we all harbour for the Other. Luca, Laura, Antonio. These are the protagonists of a novel told through three voices, narrating a cruel tale of love, hate and violence. A difficult, introvert sixteen-year-old boy who arrives in a small town in the provinces. A weary, forty-year-old school mistress, who anxiously urges her students to face up to life with the courage that she herself is lacking. A young man who has grown up too fast, incapable of relating to others and educated in violence. At the centre, a gun, a shot fired at the temple in a school classroom, and perhaps a kiss. One single, simple, kiss, capable of unleashing madness. A psychological thriller, jigsaw puzzle of sentiments, dramatic account of an impossible love, constructed like a time-bomb dense with revelations, Un Bacio will conquer readers for the force of the story and a writing style capable of touching, moving and disturbing. Rights sold to: Spain Spanish and Catalan (Libros del silencio) In November 2011 release of the film adapted from the novel La kryptonite nella borsa directed by the same Ivan Cotroneo.

Sheandhe
Leielui
Leielui (Sheandhe) is a love story. It takes place during a very hot summer in Milan, Liguria, the South of France and Vancouver, Canada. The lei is Clare Moletto, an American who has been living in Italy for some years and works at the call centre of a large insurance company. The lui is Daniel Deserti, author of the international bestseller Lo sguardo della lepre and other less successful novels. One day, in the pouring rain, Daniel, who is going through a creative crisis and is completely drunk, drives into the car in which Clare is travelling with her fianc. The result of this potentially catastrophic incident is the birth of a relationship that goes from hostility to diffidence to curiosity to uncontrollable attraction. I wanted to relate the reasons, doubts and profound contradictions that a man and a woman are faced with when they happen to fall in love for real. The challenge was to talk about it as honestly as possible and give the same importance to both protagonists the man and the woman. So, in alternating chapters, the story is told from both their viewpoints: the perspective changes, as do the perceptions, the sentiments involved and the questions unresolved. I think that for both male and female readers it is almost impossible not to relate to one of the two characters, and, in some cases, this may provoke a strange alternation of identification and anger. It happened to me, with lei and with lui.

Between comedy of errors and kitchen sink drama, the reconstruction of the lives of others, on the phone. Between apartments. Diego Tribeca, a rootless forty-year-old who has been travelling the world for years, writing tourist guides for Lonely Planet, is obliged to return to Italy for a surgical operation. He settles into the apartment left vacant by his elder sister Sonia, whos living in New York with her husband. Diego discovers that the house phone has an inexplicable defect when it rings, Diego hears the conversations of the other phones in the block.

MARIO FORTUNATO
DARIO FRANCESCHINI
Allegra Street
A Comedy about Living as a Couple. Like a Woody Allen film the secrets, lies and paradoxes of that time-bomb mechanism that is the situation of two people who share their lives. What happens when a well-to-do, respectable Italian diplomat in London, whose marriage is rather dull, suddenly, during a massage, discovers homosexual tendencies he never dreamt he had? And what happens when his equally respectable wife, Paula, falls in love with a young macho, tosses everything to the wind and runs off with him? In the London district of Montrose Place, as in the most typical Anglo-Saxon comedies, lies and secrets interweave giving life to a an amusing, bitter-sweet novel that is both funny and ruthless. An author well-known in the media (editorialist of LEspresso and foreign collaborator for the BBC). A humourous womans novel that isnt only for women. One of the Italian writers best appreciated by the critics: Finalist in the 2007 Strega Prize Winner of the 2007 Mondello and Super Mondello Prizes, Palermo
Over Again
Daccapo
When a son is not at all suspicious about his father and mothers private life. A provocative novel by Dario Franceschini Iacopo Dalla Libera is a solicitor in a small town in the province of Mantua. He is a distinguished gentleman, known by everyone, well-to-do, married to a woman whom he does not particularly care for, with a father who was also a solicitor but is now elderly and dying. Indeed, on his death-bed, Iacopos father confesses to having had 52 other children with the same number of prostitutes. He explains how he always kept a count of them and sent them money for many years. Now he is asking his son to trace them so he can see them all once more before its too late. So begins Iacopos odyssey. Completely dazed, he goes to Ferrara in search of some prostitutes and, at the first address he visits, he meets the beautiful young Mila who immediately seduces him. Mila knows all about the man who sowed wild oats far and wide and she slowly leads Iacopo into a world of folly and passion that overwhelms his own family and his very wifes identity... Everyone, it seems, has hidden secrets and one by one Iacopo discovers them. Theres no going back when you find out certain truths.

Diary of Solitude
Diario delle solitudini
The story of a man who finds the strength to face the future in solitude and recollection. The case of a journalist who has lost almost everything for the sake of truth. A journalist is the victim of a serious accident that leaves him permanently disfigured. To regain his equilibrium he seeks refuge in a house near a lagoon in total isolation except for the occasional company of Norberto, the person who brings his supplies. Soon the large house he is staying in begins to rouse his curiosity and, from the clues that surround him (paintings, furniture) he reconstructs the life of the inhabitants, scarred by wars and redeemed through art. In particular, he recomposes the lives of Rodolfo and Gualtiero, the former a businessman, the latter an artist both protagonists of the most significant events of the first half of the 1900s in Italy (the war in Libya, World War I...) and short-lived but passionate love affairs. By reconstructing the lives of his predecessors in the house, the journalist also manages to recall his own recent past: the accident, the woman who was with him, the bomb that hit them while they were making a reportage.

Without Heels
Senza tacchi A contemporary coming-of-age novel, a cross between Catcher in the Rye and The Devil wears Prada.
Sofia is twenty-five. She is Milanese, the daughter of a wealthy bourgeois family, the sister of a super-intelligent, psychologically unstable fifteen-year-old (Ginevra), and has a degree in Letters. Although books are her universe, she works as a model. That way she earns a lot of money and travels between Milan, Miami and Barcellona. As she skips from one love affair to another, she tries to escape from a reality which does not satisfy her allergic as she is to human beings in search of a place in the sun in that glittering yet cynical world of fashion and appearances. But peace does not come, at least not in the fashion world... A merciless, moving and enthralling portrait of a young womans adventures in her search for herself, finding her way in a reality seeming to row against every form of self-knowledge.

Goodbye
Addio
The story of a kid from the poor outskirts of Rome who swaps his childhood dreams for the illusion of criminal power. A kid called Alfredo, the backdrop a choral fresco of the Italy of the Sixties: a period of innocence and happiness, when seen through the eyes of a child. But growing up everything changes and things are no longer what they appear to be. Alfredo experiences life in a reformatory, in a period when reality is changing: on one side a popular, proletarian Rome, whose daily life is marked by the songs of Don Backy and Caterina Caselli and episodes of crime news a life hanging out in bars. On the other, the dream of an America made up of fast motorbikes and movies but also heinous homicides like that of Sharon Tate. Between these two worlds, Alfredo finds the road to crime more and more imposing, all his dreams are lost. It fills his life.

A dark novel Nothing ever happens at Nurai, an imaginary (but quite realistic) little town in Sardinia.Until the murder of Maria Deiana, a pretty, easy-going young schoolteacher with short, red hair and coffee-coloured eyes. When they start investigating, the carabinieri, led by Martino Crissanti, are already well-informed.

FAQ Mafia
The questions we all ask about the mafia. The answers of one who can give them with authority: one of the authors of Il capo dei capi. Much has been written about the Mafia, not to mention the films, the television series and the plays, from The Godfather to La Piovra (The Leech). And yet its real truth continues to escape us: its laws, its rites, its origins, its language and propagating methods. In this volume with the usual, simple, straightforward language of the FAQ series, we look back over the history of Sicilian Mafia, going on to examine its relations and differences from the Calabrian ndrangheta, the Neapolitan Camorra and the Sacra Corona Unita in Puglia. Mafia and religion, Mafia and politics, Mafia and finance: where are the boundaries of the Mafia phenomenon? And who are the Mafiosi? Strange subjects on the verge of bestiality, or normal persons mingling among us, unseen, unrecognizable? Other titles available in FAQ collection: Francesco Merlo, FAQ Italy A pressing series of questions, together with articulate answers, on the political, historical, cultural and moral aspects of the Italy dilemma R i g hts sold to : Germany (Klett Cotta)

One of the most well-known militant critics, from 1972 to 1974 the author interviewed Giorgio Bassani, Lalla Romano, Lucio Mastronardi, Domenico Rea on school; Alberto Moravia, Luigi Malerba, Raffaele La Capria, Attilio Bertolucci on nature; Carlo Bernari, Romano Bilenchi, Vasco Pratolini, Ottiero Ottieri, Paolo Volponi, Nanni Balestrini on the work of the labourer; Pier Paolo Pasolini, Tullio De Mauro, Carlo Cassola, Ignazio Buttitta, Umberto Eco on language and dialect; Franco Fortini, Arrigo Benedetti, Alberto Moravia on history.

Visioni
Visions. Conversation with Mariuccia Ciotta and Roberto Silvestri
The last century girl, talking about cinema and political commitment The last century girl in the darkened cinema. The thoughts, emotions and battles of a special spectator Rossana Rossanda face to face with the critics of the daily newspaper Manifesto . When the Manifestowas only about politics, in its early days, the early seventies, Rossanda was the first to fight for adding cultural pages, including cinema, to the paper. She reviewed hundreds of films, her approach to cinema always being a moment for reflection and militant criticism, rarely mere escapism. Visioni is a conversation on cinema and politics from 1900 to today. It looks at the revolution of form and the forms of revolution from the Russian screen to Hollywood, from the avantgarde to classic cinema, to digital.

Berlusconeide
Two front-line journalists, one anti- Berlusconian, one pro Berlusconi (maybe); one collaborator of the newspaper Fatto Quotidiano, one editor of the newspaper Giornale. Both answering the questions that all Italians ask about their Prime Minister. Why did Berlusconi enter politics? Why have the magistrates got it in for him? Does Berlusconi reflect the nation? Has he kept his promises? Is his leadership really on the brink of collapse or is it still solid? Through a brand new bipartisan experiment, this book helps understand better what is really going on; a manual for confuting, or confirming, ones own convictions concerning a leading protagonist of the last fifteen years of Italian politics.

GIOVANNI TESTORI
vol. I (1943-1961) The first volume of the Works by Giovanni Testori, edited by Fulvio Panzeri, with a preface by Giovanni Raboni, contains the Lombardy writers most well-known narrative and theatrical works. From his first dramatic works (La morte. Un quadro and Tentazione nel convento) to the masterpieces of his maturity (La Maria Brasca and LArialda); from the classic tales Dio di Roserio, Ponte della Ghisolfa and Gilda del Mac Mahon to the novels Il fabbricone and Nebbia al Giambellino. vol. II (1965-1977) The second volume, instead, is a collection of the authors major poetic texts, from I Trionfi to Nel tuo sangue, and a precious review of compositions almost impossible to find nowadays, such as For You, Alain, together with some unpublished works like the two Suites for Francis Bacon The collection will also include the novels La Cattedrale and Passio Laetitiae et Felicitatis, where Testori experiments an innovative disintegration of the traditional narrative forms, giving masterly proof of his linguistic exceptionality, and famous theatrical texts such as the Trilogia degli Scarozzanti, where educated speech is skilfully blended and harmonised with grotesque, popular deformations. The book, edited by Fulvio Panzeri (as vol. I), is prefaced by Giovanni Raboni. vol. III (1978-1993) The third volume is devoted to the period going from 1978 to 1993, and collects all his production of the Eighties. The main surprise of the volume is the unpublished poems, above all the "familiar" one, or the ones taken by magazines or art catalogues, as well as the publication of the two "Brianciatrilogie" and the second version of the Erodiade.
