CURSED SPRING
by Paolo Cammilli
In Settimo Naviglio, a grey village on the outskirts of Milan, peopleget bored. Yet a small spark is enough to ignite everything. Breaking the monotony is an old score between a 35-year-old who’s a bit out of shape and a naughty little girl. Carlotta is young, breathtakingly beautiful, proud, and sweet to whoever she wants. Geneva, her bestfriend, is ambitious and willing to do anything to achieve her goals. Together, they feel masters of the world and play with fire. But there is Fabrizio Montagnèr, who daydreams and breaks their balance. All three are bound by a dark secret that forces Guinevere to look down in front of her best friend. Meanwhile a strange feeling begins topulsate between Carlotta and Fabrizio. A tender love or a ruthless game to slaughter?To make everything more murky, two bloody and cruel facts and a truth that resurfaces mercilessly, between desires, memories and obsessions. Between unforgettable love stories and insane passions, dangerous friendships and heinous crimes, "Damned spring" forces us to see the rubble of our country. A society adrift where everything is spectacle. The morbid Italy in which even a miserable village can redeem itself, becoming the stage of evil. A piece of life: mocking, moving and true. A tender and cruel battle between the opposite choices of life, between the ecstasy of revenge and the melancholy of forgiveness, between ferocity and sweetness.

PoetryDeterminant
by Alex Fabrizio (author)
“These nineteen supple poems have both a strong sense of unity and a wide spectrum of forms, themes, and moods. Virtuosic writing combines with jagged feeling, and the end result is engaging, dramatic, and unpredictable.”—Henri Cole“These poems have a strong voice and a bold reach: they turn outwards, finding big subjects and solid narratives. They seek to make a world: and then they persuade the reader to live in it.”—Eavan Boland“Determinant is a strong, assured collection that begins with our planet Earth and ends with an egg. This poetic echoing of subjects and objects is indicative of Alex Fabrizio’s range: these poems guide us to a vantage point from which wonder contracts and expands without a diminishing of its essence. Her speakers are calmly certain of uncertainty. Let this collection trouble what one might assume about the explanatory connotation of the title—the poems have little concern for the didacticism of cause and embrace the effects of the world on the ambiguous lyric self. They encourage a reintegration of the ‘I’ with that world, a ‘turning returning’ to it. They give the reader that gift.”—Lo Kwa Mei-en

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2015Emotions, Passions, and Power in Renaissance Italy
by Edited by Fabrizio Ricciardelli and Andrea Zorzi
The physical and mental capacity of having emotions is universal. The methods through which these emotions are perceived, expressed, and shared are always depending by the codified rules imposed by the society and the personal background. Emotions depend on language, cultural practices, expectations, and moral beliefs. This means that every culture has its rules for feelings and behavior; every culture thus exerts certain restraints while favoring certain forms of expressivity. Hate, fear, cruelty, and love are always turning history into the history of passion and lust, because emotional life is always ready to overflow intellectual life. This fascinating study of emotion in Renaissance Italy shows that emotions are built and created by the society in which they are expressed and conditioned. The contributors examine, among others, the emotional language of the court, around public execution, religious practices and during outbreaks of disease.

MusicSeptember 2012Bach, Beethoven and the Boys
Music History as it Ought to be Taught
by David W. Barber
David W. Barber has delighted readers around the world with Accidentals on Purpose, When the Fat Lady Sings and other internationally bestselling books of musical humor. His bestselling Bach, Beethoven and the Boys chronicles the lives of the great (and not-so-great) composers as you've never read them before – exploring their sex lives, exposing their foibles and expanding on our understanding of these all-too-human creatures. Filled with information, interesting facts and trivia, this hilarious history covers music from Gregorian chant to the mess we're in now. From Bach's laundry lists to Beethoven's bowel problems, from Gesualdo's kinky fetishes to Cage's mushroom madness, Barber tells tales out of school that ought to be put back there. (Think how much more fun it would be if they taught this stuff.) As always, Dave Donald had provided witty and clever cartoon illustrations to accompany the text. "My heartiest commendation for an admirable work of scholarship... I will not say again that it is funny, since this will compel you to set your jaw and dare Barber to make you laugh." - Anthony Burgess, on Bach, Beethoven and the Boys
