        Nadir and Zenith in the World of Escher

        by Wouter van Reek

        Nadir and Zenith enter a new world where nothing is what it seems. High and low, inside and outside, big and small... Can they believe their eyes? Who is looking at whom? And who is the creator of this adventure-filled universe? Just when they think they have found the way out, they see the room where they came from... Graphic artist Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) became world famous for his weird and wonderful pictures. He occupied a special place somewhere between art and science. Although he claimed not to know anything about mathematics, he used mathematical ideas to create his own world. He took this to the extreme with the lithograph Print Gallery. It’s so cleverly composed that you don’t know if you’re looking at it or inside it... Wouter van Reek has cleverly incorporated this concept in the intriguing picture book Nadir and Zenith in the World of Escher.

        Detective Story from Berlin 1923

        by Gunnar Kunz

        Berlin, 1923. inflation! Millions in your pocket, but nothing to eat. No wonder that philosophy professor Hendrik Lilienthal and Diana Escher, Max Planck's assistant, have no other way to help themselves than to secretly visit the potato fields around Berlin at night. But they are not the only ones, and suddenly they find themselves in front of a badly mauled corpse. Fortunately, they manage to get the case transferred to Inspector Gregor Lilienthal, Hendrik's brother - and the extraordinary trio is back on the investigation. They quickly find out that the victim was wearing a white suit, but by no means a clean slate. The investigations lead to thieves and black market dealers, to people at the edge of existence. One trace leads to the French-occupied Ruhr area, where clashes between Germans and occupiers, saboteurs and separatists are raging. When Diana ventures too far, she is in mortal danger.

        by Gunnar Kunz

        Berlin, 1920: Social misery, political struggles, uncertainty. In the midst of the postwar turmoil, philosophy professor Hendrik Lilienthal is called in to investigate the murder of Max Unger, an industrialist and war profiteer known for his brutal methods. His death will make more champagne corks pop than tears flow. There are plenty of suspects: the victim's brothers, who are pursuing their own plans with the Unger Group. A working class family who made Max Unger's life a living hell. Freikorps and reactionary military circles planning a coup against the young republic. Or is there even a connection to the recent murders of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht? Against his will, Hendrik allows himself to be drawn ever deeper into the investigation. He finds an ally in the physics student Diana Escher, the dead man's niece. Armed with the wit of philosophy and the laws of science, they undertake their own investigations, which lead them into the barbaric living conditions of Berlin's tenement blocks, into entrepreneurial intrigues and into the line of fire of the putschists.

        Last of all, the sky

        by Michele Cecchini

        Emilio Cacini, known to everyone as ‘Soldo di cacio’ (Shorty) on account of hisdiminutive stature, teaches art at a secondary school. Fat and clumsy, Cacio has a secretinvolving a woman, Ilaria, with whom he had a relationship during the period in whichshe was a member of the Red Brigades. He’d like to confide in someone but in ArdenzaMare - the neighbourhood on the outskirts of Livorno where he lives – no one asks toomany overly personal questions. The fact is that it’s something of an anomalous place,largely because of the magical, enchanted atmosphere in which it’s immersed. From hercage in the middle of the neighbourhood park, the majestic tigress Mirtilla(Blackcurrant) has always been a reassuring presence for the locals.Cacio has a son called Pitore (Pet Chicken), a child who suffers from a developmentalspeech disorder. In practice, Pitore speaks a language all of his own made up of newwords such as folmedína (sea). This would appear to be no big deal for Cacio, who goesout of his way to find alternative forms of communication to words in an attempt toforge an increasingly close relationship with the child, who he’s bringing up by himself.Albeit disoriented, Cacio has a whole world inside himself and goes his own way. He isgentle but, at the same time, strong, capable of passing through solitude and creatingharmony from the disharmony he feels around him. In search of authenticcommunication that goes beyond words, Cacio seems to be saying that the world canexist in many different ways, provided we know how to invent it.Michele Cecchini possesses a unique imagination, a virtue few writers can boast of. Hisis a magical realism marked by a special form of delicacy and wonder. A cross betweenFellini and Soriano, he uses a special lens to look at and speak about the world, which flies lightly by, as if it were enclosed in a soap bubble.

        The Heart of Cocoa

        500 Years of Chocolate History

        by Napoleone Neri

        The temptation par excellence, that craving that suddenly arises and we cannot fight it unless we satisfy it: the desire for chocolate. Perhaps it is because of this power that it is called the most loved food on the planet. Or perhaps it is because its cultivation, production and consumption - which has been growing strongly in the last 10 years - are spread across all continents. Napoleon Neri tells its story, starting with the plant and its fruit, from the pioneers of chocolate, to the birth of confectionery factories in the 19th century and then the great modern industries. He describes in detail the processing and transformation of cocoa beans, their beneficial properties, the sensory characteristics of the finished product, and spices everything up with a thousand anecdotes and curiosities that only those who have lived and worked in this world for so long can know.
