        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

        Die Briefe, die Gadda zwischen 1920 und 1963 an den »brüderlichen Freund« Bonaventura Tecchi richtet, den er in deutscher Kriegsgefangenschaft kennengelernt hat, bezeugen die Leidensgeschichte des Ingenieurs Gadda, der unter seinem Brotberuf leidet und als Dichter hartnäckig und zäh um »Zutritt zum Parnaß« kämpft.

        Small Town America in World War II

        War Stories from Wrightsville, Pennsylvania

        by Ronald Marcello

        Historians acknowledge that World War II touched every man, woman, and child in the United States. In Small Town America in World War II, Ronald E. Marcello uses oral history interviews with civilians and veterans to explore how the citizens of Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, responded to the war effort. Located along the western shore of the Susquehanna River in York County, Wrightsville was a transportation hub with various shops, stores, and services as well as industrial plants.  Interviews with citizens and veterans are organized in sections on the home front; the North African-Italian, European, and Pacific theatres; stateside military service; and occupation in Germany. Throughout Marcello provides introductions and contextual narrative on World War II as well as annotations for events and military terms.  Overseas the citizens of Wrightsville turned into soldiers. An infantryman in the Italian campaign, Alfred Forry, explained, “I was forty-five days on the line wearing the same clothes, but everybody was in the same situation, so you didn’t mind the stench and body odors.” A veteran of the Battle of the Bulge, Edward Reisinger, remembered, “Replacements had little chance of surviving. They were sent to the front one day, and the next day they were coming back with mattress covers over them. The sergeants never knew the names of these people.” Mortar man Donald Peters described the death of a buddy who was hit by artillery shrapnel: “His arm was just hanging on by the skin, and his intestines were hanging out.”  In the conclusion Marcello examines how the war affected Wrightsville. Did the war bring a return to prosperity? What effects did it have on women? How did wartime trauma affect the returning veterans? In short, did World War II transform Wrightsville and its citizens, or was it the same town after the war?

        Let's play chess. The world's greatest game explained to kids.

        by Marcello Carriero / Yuri Garrett / Sabino Brunello

        This book is unique, in that it was conceived especially for children by a chess expert AND a children's books illustrator. Most so-called "children's chess books" are simply chess books for beginners with a few drawings thrown in. This one is different, as eache page was typeset with the goal of appealing to a 6-10 year old child, while retaining the best possible chess information. The language is adapted for children and all exercises have been created by a Chess Grandmaster.

        Unterirdische Perspektiven

        Die historische Nutzung verborgener Räume und ihre Möglichkeiten für die Zukunft

        by Alexander Glück

        Unterirdische Räume geben der Nachwelt Auskunft über die Menschheitsgeschichte. Von jeher waren Höhlen im Falle einer Bedrohung oder eines Krieges Zufluchtsorte für Menschen. Ebenso wurden Kampfhandlungen während eines Krieges unterirdisch mit künstlich geschaffenen Tunnel- und Stollensystemen geführt. Befestigungsanlagen zum Beispiel wiesen geheime Fluchttunnel auf, durch die man im Belagerungsfall flüchten oder, vom Gegner unbemerkt, Verstärkung in diese hineinführen konnte.Neben der Entwicklungsgeschichte von so genannten "Unterstädten" richtet sich der sachkundige Blick hier auf geologische, architektonische, volkskundliche und technische Aspekte des Untergrunds. Alexander Glück M. A., geboren 1969 in Usingen, Studium der Fächer Buchwesen, Politikwissenschaft und Deutsche Volkskunde in Mainz, lebt seit 1996 als Publizist in Österreich. Zahlreiche Beiträge für Feuilletons, Fach- und Kulturzeitschriften. Veröffentlichte 2001 zusammen mit Marcello La Speranza und Peter Ryborz "Unter Wien. Auf den Spuren des dritten Mannes durch Kanäle, Grüfte und Kasematten".

        Unter Wien

        Auf den Spuren des Dritten Mannes durch Kanäle, Grüfte und Kasematten

        by Alexander Glück ; Peter Ryborz ; Marcello Lasperanza

        Der Untergrund von Wien ist seit dem Filmklassiker »Der dritte Mann« weltberühmt. Noch heute kann man den Spuren von Harry Lime folgen, einen Kanaldeckel anheben, in das Abwassersystem hinabsteigen und später aus einer Litfaßsäule wieder an die Oberfläche treten. Unter dem Pflaster finden sich vielfältige Hinterlassenschaften aus der Geschichte der Donaumetropole: die Reste eines römischen Legionslagers und der Befestigungsanlagen aus der Zeit der Türkenkriege genauso wie weitläufige Katakomben, die als Begräbnisstätten privilegierter Familien dienten. Man stößt auf gruftartige Verliese, verfallene Spionagetunnel, ein altes Rohrpostnetz, Tiefbunker aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und moderne Anlagen für den Nahverkehr. Die Autoren wissen kuriose Begebenheiten zu berichten und präsentieren seltenes historisches Bildmaterial. Sie schildern die Geschichte Wiens aus einer ungewöhnlichen Perspektive. (Anm. Dieser Band ist mit 232 Abbildungen versehen.)

        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.

        The Calling

        Stories of Jesuits in the 16th and 17th Centuries

        by Adriano Prosperi

        This book explains not who the Jesuits were, but how their awareness of having become Jesuits was constructed. It does so on the basis of a collection of documents which have often been referred to as ‘autobiographies’, in fact individual members’ accounts of how they received their calling. Each Jesuit had to describe in writing how the divine call had come to him, what signs had preceded it and how he had broken away from his ‘fleshly’ family to become a member of the Company. Their acute awareness of the definitive nature of the close pact they had established with God by becoming members of the army of the Lord, made the Jesuits new, unusual figures, unprecedented in the history of Christian religious orders: men trained to carry out arduous missions into the most distant countries of the world, in contact with unknown cultures, without any weakening of their ties with the Company; a classic case is Matteo Ricci. Accepting their calling meant adopting a special life, characterized by a modern form of asceticism: a total break with the past and their families, a readiness to go wherever they were sent, as new apostles.

        Dissident identity

        themes for a new Brazilian history

        by Edgard Leite

        In ‘Dissident identity: themes for a new Brazilian History’, Edgard Leite continues the work done in 'Predators', which addresses the Brazilian history from the other side, rescuing facts, contradictions and ideas that, over the years and because of a historiography often biased, remained forgotten. A thorough job and an arduous task which the author is not exempt, but faces; as well as facing certain tradition in historical studies. With a concise writing, the author develops his argument from the idea that, since the Copernican revolution, mankind turned to quantity over quality. It is precisely this world that will emerge from Brazil, since the arrival of Europeans will just at a time when the effects of the Copernican turning shall introduce into Europe. Another important point for understanding the history of Brazil will be the secularization of the state, which is strengthened by the Enlightenment and the French Revolution is, above all, its most acute event. Understanding the relationship between state and religion and, especially, the understanding of the concept of mind, will be central to a discussion of the values that shape - or fail to shape - a society. The book ends with the 1964 event, and the reader will wait that the author addresses in forthcoming books, the continuation of Brazilian history. Always with his provocative and powerful bias.

        I am Nirvana. The story of Kurt Cobain

        by Andrea Biscaro

        Kurt è la rock star più famosa del pianeta. Ha appena ventisette anni, ma ha già vissuto tutto. Adesso è solo, lontano dai riflettori e dai palchi, senza amici, senza più voglia di scrivere e di suonare, blindato tra le pareti dorate della sua reggia di Seattle.  Nella detonazione dello sparo Kurt rivive tutta la sua vita: l'infanzia ad Aberdeen, i locali, la nascita dei Nirvana, il primo contratto con la Sub Pop, la droga, il successo planetario e improvviso di Nevermind, il grunge, l'amore disperato per Courtney Love, la dipendenza dall'eroina, le tournée mondiali, la nascita di Frances Bean, In Utero, il policlinico di Roma, le disintossicazioni, Unplugged in New York. Fino a quel maledetto fucile Remington... A fargli immancabile compagnia è la voce di quell’amico misterioso al cui abbraccio mortale non saprà sfuggire.
