      • Bach Doctor Press

        Darin Dance started his own publishing and photography business in 2014: The Bach Doctor Press after researching and taking photographs for many book projects while working collaboratively with fellow Ngāi Tahu writers.  He firmly believes that with the retrenchment of the main publishing houses back to Australia, America and Europe, our remarkable “Kiwi” voices and stories will be lost and unheard unless new publishing ventures are prepared to fill this void.  This has become his mission to promote our unique kōrero and pakiwaitara (stories and legends).

      • Saint Michael The Archangel

        by Immacolata Aulisa, Claudio Azzara, Gioia Bertelli, Pierre Bouet, Ada Campione, Franco Cardini, Manuel Castiñeiras, Gerardo Cioffari, Alessandro di Muro, Klaus Herbers, Renzo Infante, Gábor Klaniczay, Giorgio Otranto, Francesco Panarelli, Giuseppe Sergi, André Vauchez, Catherine Vincent

        From the Hebrew name meaning “Who Is Like God?”, Michael is one of the angels–together with Raphael (“God Heals”) and Gabriel (“God Is My Strength”)–whose names are mentioned in the Holy Scripture. Since the first centuries of Christianity, there has been a wide diffusion of his worship in Europe and in the East through a multitude of sanctuaries and chapels, mostly nestled in high places, related to caves and water. An astonishing feature of this spread is a mysterious straight line crossing the European continent from North-West to South-East from Ireland to Asia Minor, and it is perfectly aligned with the sunset on the day of Summer Solstice. Along this line are seven sanctuaries dedicated to Michael, three of which have been significantly important over the centuries: Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, the Sacra di San Michele in val di Susa and the Sanctuary of Monte Sant’Angelo on Mount Gargano, in Puglia. Three extraordinary high places that are all the same distance one from the other and which have always been a constant pilgrimage destination. Another aspect is the connection Saint Michael had with the Longobards, who migrated across Europe between the second and the sixth century until they reached Italy where they settled. This made Michael the first truly “European” Saint, attracting believers from all over the continent.   With the contribution of some of the most important historians and medievalists from different European countries, this book depicts the presence of Saint Michael in Europe, starting with the diffusion of his devotion, especially during the Middle Ages, and extending to an analysis of the iconography of the Saint through the many architectural and artistic testimonies to be found throughout Europe.   Thanks to its influential contributions and to the variety of both historical and iconographic topics, combined with the spectacular nature of the numerous images of places and artistic testimonies, this book is a unique journey through Europe between art and faith.

        Like wild beast

        by Giuse Alemanno

        Oppido Messapico, a small town in deepest Puglia. Costantino Ro chira and his henchmen plan to wipe out the rival mob family, the Sarmenta. It’s all about money and the neighboring Calabrese mob, the ‘Ndrangheta. But the plan works only halfway: by sheer luck the Sarmentas’ only son, Massimo aka Mattanza (Slaughter), a troubled and cruel kid, cheats death, together with his uncles and his cousin Santo. They all leave town on an old Fiat Regata, after clearing the family money and staging their own disappearance. Their trip leads them in the far North of Italy, in Lombardy’s Val Camonica, where an old friend and compatriot, Giovanni Argento, gives them shelter. There, Santo and Mattanza plot their revenge… “Like Wild Beasts” is a tough novel with hard-core nuances, sparing nothing and no one: a Tarantino movie, as told by Giovanni Verga.
