Martini Maria Cristina | MMC Edizioni
MMC EDIZIONI is a publishing house based in Rome.Born in 2001 as a generalist, along the time it has specialized almost exclusively in non-fiction, dedicated in particular (but not only) to the city of Rome.The main series, called "A walk with history" offers an alternative vision of the city through the historical reconnaissance and analysis of some of its urban furnishings that are not taken into consideration such as small fountains, clocks, inscriptions, sacred shrines, plaques. 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

December 2007Die Zukunft der Werte
Dialoge über das 21. Jahrhundert
by Jérôme Bindé, Frank Sievers, Andreas Jandl
Nietzsches Satz von der Umwertung aller Werte stand als prophetisches Motto über dem 20. Jahrhundert, das zunächst ein unvorstellbares Maß an Barbarei und später das postmoderne anything goes erlebte. Das dritte Jahrtausend konfrontiert uns mit neuen Herausforderungen: Der Fortschritt der Gentechnologie und die Erkenntnisse der Neurowissenschaften zwingen uns, Sein und Sollen des Menschen neu zu bestimmen; unter den Bedingungen der Globalisierung prallen unterschiedliche Wertesysteme aufeinander. Zur Diskussion dieser Fragen hat die UNESCO Wissenschaftler, Künstler und Philosophen zusammengebracht, um ein »Bündnis zwischen Politik und weitsichtigem Denken zu knüpfen« (Jérôme Bindé). Der Band dokumentiert die Beiträge von Jean Baudrillard, Julia Kristeva, Paul Ricœur, Michel Serres, Peter Sloterdijk, Gianni Vattimo, Wolfgang Welsch und anderen.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017East German intelligence and Ireland, 1949–90
Espionage, terrorism and diplomacy
by Jérôme de Wiel
This book is an in-depth examination of the relations between Ireland and the former East Germany between the end of the Second World War and the fall of the Berlin Wall. It explores political, diplomatic, economic, media and cultural issues. The long and tortuous process of establishing diplomatic relations is unique in the annals of diplomatic history. Central in this study are the activities of the Stasi. They show how and where East German intelligence obtained information on Ireland and Northern Ireland and also what kind of information was gathered. A particularly interesting aspect of the book is the monitoring of the activities of the Irish Republican Army and the Irish National Liberation Army and their campaigns against the British army in West Germany. The Stasi had infiltrated West German security services and knew about Irish suspects and their contacts with West German terrorist groups. East German Intelligence and Ireland, 1949-90 makes an original contribution to diplomatic, intelligence, terrorist and Cold War studies.

Spectaculum 77
Sechs moderne Theaterstücke
by Samuel Beckett, Jerome Kilty, Klaus Händl, Christoph Nußbaumeder, Moritz Rinke, Peter Turrini
Samuel Beckett: Hörspielskizze I, Hörspielskizze II Deutsch von Elmar Tophoven Mit Endspiel (Bd. 2) war Beckett von Anbeginn Autor der Spectaculum-Reihe, in der inzwischen seine sämtlichen Theaterstücke erschienen sind. Seit seinem ersten Hörspiel 1956 spielt diese Gattung in seinem Gesamtwerk eine bedeutende Rolle, nicht zuletzt durch die Motive und Querverweise, die sich wie ein Netz über das »dramatische Werk« legen. Deshalb ist es sinnvoll, wenn aus Anlaß des 100. Geburtstages zwei zentrale Werke für das Radio erscheinen, in denen Samuel Beckett versucht, »aus dem Menschen etwas über den Menschen herauszubringen«. Jerome Kilty: Geliebter Lügner Es sind überaus emotionale Briefe, die sich die berühmte Schauspielerin Stella Campbell und der wohl erfolgreichste Dramatiker des 20. Jahrhunderts Bernard Shaw geschrieben haben. Beide meist verheiratet, aber nie miteinander, konnten über vier Jahrzehnte nicht voneinander lassen und lieferten sich große Liebesbeweise - per Post. Händl Klaus: Dunkel lockende Welt Ein abgetrennter Zeh in einer Ecke, eine Ärztin, die sich mit ihrem Vermieter streitet, ob es einen Gattenmord zu vertuschen oder ein Mutter-Sohn-Drama aufzudecken gilt, eine Wohnung in Leipzig, eine in München, ein Gewirr aus Phantasie und Realität, eine dunkel lockende Welt erzählt uns Händl Klaus. Peter Turrini: Bei Einbruch der Dunkelheit Alois, 15 und heimlicher Dichter, wird in das Herrenhaus des ortsansässigen Komponisten eingeladen. Er muß dort mit Schrecken feststellen, daß es in der Welt der Kunst nicht um Schönheit, sondern um Verrat, nicht um den Ausdruck von Gefühlen, sondern um die bessere Formulierung geht. Christoph Nußbaumeder: Mit dem Gurkenflieger in die Südsee Hier hat ein Autor im erweiterten Europa über Menschen aus Osteuropa geschrieben, die gezwungen sind, im »goldenen Westen« zu Billiglöhnen zu arbeiten. Mitten im Turbokapitalismus schafft Nußbaumeder ein unsentimentales Theaterstück über die »Sklaven des 21. Jahrhundert
