        The Cambridge story began in 1534 when Henry VIII granted us letters patent, allowing the Press to print 'all manner of books'. Cambridge published its first book in 1584 making it the oldest publishing house in the world. Over the next four centuries the Press's reputation spread throughout Europe, based on excellence in scholarly publishing of academic texts, poetry, school books, prayer books and Bibles. Along the way Cambridge published ground-breaking works such as Newton's Principia Mathematica, Milton's Lycidas, Ernest Rutherford'sRadio-activity, and Noam Chomsky's Language and Mind. In the 20th century Cambridge extended that influence to become a global publisher. Today Cambridge has over 50 offices across the globe, employs over 2,000 people, publishes over 50,000 titles by authors from over 100 countries, and is still growing, bringing thousands of subjects and millions of ideas to the world.

        POESIA CRUDA (VOICES OF SCAMPIA)

        Gli Irrecuperabili non Esistono (No One is Past Redemption)

        by Davide Cerullo

        What does living in Scampia mean? Growing up in a poor and unloving family, succumbing to the temptation of earning easy money and changing the course of destiny. Davide Cerullo narrates this and more, following the story of people that, just like him, have managed to rise up above the enslaving world of Camorra. However, he keeps in mind the ones that haven’t made it, the ones that have fallen, caught in the nets of a system that doesn’t offer any way out. Love and hope, these are the common threads of a book that ties together different fates, intertwined among the streets of a neighbourhood as tormented as it is rich in humanity.

        He Was Your Father

        by Alessandro Gallo

        “When I was 15, I found out who my father really was reading about him in a newspaper, and I realized that I had a choice in front of me: to follow his steps and mark my role inside his circle, or to show that I belonged to my mother’s world – a clean and pure way of life, full of sacrifices; a different legacy. And that’s what I decided to do.” This is how Gallo describes his upbringing, and the fates of his characters are inevitably similar to his own life. This is the story of a father – a well-known member of the Camorra – and his three children, all forced to make a choice that will shape their lives forever: to be or not to be a part of the family kingdom. The sons, Giusuè and Alberto, have no doubt in mind: they want to fill their father’ shoes and rule a criminal empire of drugs, illegal traffic and enterprises stretched all over the Country. But the daughter, Camilla, is torn between the love for her family and a voice within that tells her to be different and claim another life. All she can do is try and find the strength to achieve what seems to be impossible. But there is a big price to pay for this kind of freedom…

        Cellini-Freedom Fighter

        This is his true story.

        by Vito "Tutuc" Cellini and Mick J. Prodger

        Born in New York and raised in Italy, Vito “Tutuc” Cellini went from street gangster to soldier to resistance fighter to secret agent – all before he was twenty-one years of age. Drafted into the fascist Italian army against his will and sent to the front line, he deserted and joined Tito’s Yugoslavian Partisans fighting the Nazis, returning to Italy to join the Allies amid one of the biggest cover-ups of the European war. He ended the war working covertly with the American OSS (forerunner of the CIA) hunting down criminals and undesirables. Sailing home to New York in 1948 with a forged Italian passport and just 12 cents in his pocket, he was arrested at Ellis Island. Since then, Cellini’s inventiveness, reputation and irrepressible sense of adventure have taken him all over the world, often putting his life in great peril. Respected by the New York Mafia, Cellini later negotiated with some of the most feared organized crime syndicates in Italy. Nicaragua’s President Somoza sought his advice on guerilla warfare and weapons tactics, and while in Nicaragua he was embroiled in the assassination of a high profile journalist and had to flee for his life. Cellini has kept Federal Agents informed of credible plots to assassinate known enemies of the United States. He even served for a short time, albeit inadvertently, as bodyguard for a notorious drug lord in Mexico. He has never been afraid of taking the law into his own hands because, he says, sometimes that is the only way to survive. His inventions, including the Cellini muzzle brake, have earned him 19 patents and the undying respect and gratitude of members of the U.S. Special Forces and Law Enforcement. He has been privileged to count some of America’s most revered and decorated military heroes among his closest friends. Cellini is, more than anything, a patriot; a man who puts honor above all. And while some of his adventures make fictional spies and secret agents pale by comparison, unlike his fictitious counterparts, Cellini always remained faithful to one woman. Now in his 90s, he finally feels comfortable talking about his life, and he isn’t pulling any punches. The good. The bad. The ugly. The truth. Includes more than 75 photographs.
