This series stands out for a particular graphic style and for the abundance of photographs, specially made for these books.Other series on Rome are instead dedicated to in-depth studies on specific historical and customs themes, or on the mysterious aspects of the city that also reveal its dark side.In the MMC catalogue are other non-fiction books on topics such as Music, Interculture, Anthropology and a series of stories for children encouraging solidarity, non-violence and respect for the environment

        Serhiy Paradzhanov. Bigger than a Legend

        by Dziuba Ivan, Dziuba Marta

        The book by Ivan and Marta Dzyuba consists of texts (memoir essays, articles and interviews) that comment on the life and work of Serhiy Paradzhanov, one of the most outstanding and original artists of Ukraine and the world. His image is made up of myths and mythologemes, mostly created by Paradzhanov himself. The authors of the book expand this image by supplementing it with details of everyday life, visualisations and conceptual interpretations of the filmmakers’ actions, in both everyday and artistic life. This book also gives the reader an idea of how Parajanov's artistic universe was formed, how he transitioned from a film director who worked with the myths of communist ideology to an artist who spoke the language of national mythologies in avant-garde and surprisingly modern way.

        Rebellische Frauen - Women in Battle

        150 Jahre Kampf für Freiheit, Gleichheit, Schwesterlichkeit. Graphic Novel

        by Marta Breen, Jenny Jordahl, Nora Pröfrock

        Marta Breen, in ihrer Heimat Norwegen einer der profiliertesten Feministinnen, und Jenny Jordahl, preisgekrönte Illustratorin, geben mit befreiendem Humor und erfrischenden Illustrationen einen neuen Blick auf Frauen unserer Geschichte, darunter Rosa Luxemburg, Emmeline Pankhurst, Sojourner Truth, Margaret Sanger und Malala Yousafzai. Hier werden engagiert, leichtfüßig und pointiert die Geschichten all der furchtlosen Frauen erzählt, die seit über 150 Jahren und bis heute leidenschaftlich für die Rechte der Frauen auf der ganzen Welt kämpfen: Für das Recht, zu wählen. Für das Recht über den eigenen Körper zu bestimmen. Für das Recht, zu leben wie, und zu lieben, wen man will. Und für wirtschaftliche Unabhängigkeit, für Bildung und Beruf. Eine kraftvolle Hommage an den Mut und den Willen der Frauen, die für ihre Rechte kämpfen und gekämpft haben. Und ein Appell dafür, weiterhin zu kämpfen!

        Blind Date in Paris

        Wie sieht Liebe aus?

        by Gerstenberger, Stefanie; Martin, Marta

        Wanda hat keine Zeit für die Liebe - doch in den Straßen von Paris kommt alles ganz anders … Als sie dem geheimnisvollen Ken und seiner Labrador-Dame Barbie begegnet, ist Wanda verwirrt. Denn Ken versteht sie gleichsam ohne Worte. Dabei ist er blind! Das macht die Sache mit der Wolke Sieben ganz schön kompliziert: Wie verliebst du dich in jemanden, der dich noch nie gesehen hat? Wanda flieht aus ihrem Leben - verwirrt, ratlos und frustriert. Denn der Leistungssport hat neben der Schule ihre gesamte Zeit aufgefressen und ihren Blick dafür vernebelt, was wirklich wichtig ist. Wer ist Wanda eigentlich? Wie möchte sie sein? Und gibt es überhaupt ein Leben neben Schule und Sport? Wanda ahnt, dass ausgerechnet Ken, der unfassbar gut aussehende und unnahbare Junge, der ihr Herz so tief berührt, ihr all das zeigen kann. Und je näher sie sich auf den blinden Jungen einlässt, der immer wieder ihren Weg kreuzt, desto deutlicher zeigt er Wanda, wie schillernd, magisch und wunderschön Wandas Welt um sie herum ist. Doch Ken zeigt Wanda noch etwas ganz deutlich: Auch in sein Leben passt die Liebe nicht, und irgendetwas hat er vor ihr zu verbergen. Allerdings haben Wanda und Ken ihre Rechnung ohne das Schicksal gemacht … und das hält ganz schön viele Überraschungen für die beiden bereit! Der neue Feelgood-Roman des erfolgreichen Mutter-Tochter-Duos Stefanie Gerstenberger und Marta Martin - voller zauberhaftem Flair und Romantik! Diese überaus charmante Wohlfühl-Liebesgeschichte ist eine Hommage an Paris und das perfekte Schmökerfutter für alle Romantikerinnen und Jugendliche ab 12 bis 99 Jahren. Weitere gemeinsame Romane der Erfolgsautorinnen: „Zwei wie Zucker und Zimt - Zurück in die süße Zukunft“ „Muffins & Marzipan - Vom großen Glück auf den zweiten Blick“ „Summer Switch - Und plötzlich bin ich du!“ „Ava & der Junge in Schwarz-Weiß“

Until a little meerkat has had enough and just hugs the snarling leopard. The leopard’s heart becomes light and gradually all the animals notice how good it is when we’re nice to one another. Just like that!
