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

by Iia Kiva
The collection includes ten interviews with some of today's most famous Belarusian writers: Tatyana Nyadbay, Anna Seviarynets, Alhierd Baharevich, Mariya Martysevich, Dmitry Strotsev, Yulia Tsimafeeva, Uladz Lyankevich, Andrei Khadanovich, Valzhyna Mort, and Uladzimer Arlov. A prominent topic throughout the interviews is the right of Belarusians to live in a free and democratic society: protests against the Lukashenko regime have been going on in Belarus since August 2020. However, the writers not only discuss the critical state of Belarus today but also the country's history, its cultural longevity, unique characteristics, and traditions.

Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2021Spenser and Donne
Thinking poets
by Yulia Ryzhik
The names Edmund Spenser and John Donne are typically associated with different ages in English poetry, the former with the sixteenth century and the Elizabethan Golden Age, the latter with the 'metaphysical' poets of the seventeenth century. This collection of essays, part of The Manchester Spenser series, brings together leading Spenser and Donne scholars to challenge this dichotomous view and to engage critically with both poets, not only at the sites of direct allusion, imitation, or parody, but also in terms of common preoccupations and continuities of thought, informed by the literary and historical contexts of the politically and intellectually turbulent turn of the century. Juxtaposing these two poets, so apparently unlike one another, for comparison rather than contrast changes our understanding of each poet individually and moves towards a more holistic, relational view of their poetics.

Art forms2022T. Shevchenko. Life in art
by Dmytro Stus, Tetyana Chuiko, Anastasia Morozova, Yulia Shilenko
Of course, the fate of the artist was formed in a certain way because he realized his vocation - to be a poet. On the other hand, he lived his life as a professional artist. After graduating from the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, T. Shevchenko worked as an artist in the Temporary Commission for the consideration of ancient acts (Kyiv Archaeographic Commission), applied for the position of drawing teacher at the University of St. Volodymyr in Kyiv. And when his plans were broken by arrest, then in exile, despite the strict imperial ban on writing and drawing, the artist was able to work in his specialty, although not officially. Shevchenko devoted the last years of his life to the development of etching, having received the title of academician in engraving. The publication consists of two parts. The first is devoted to the works of the artist, made in graphic techniques, as well as sepia and watercolor. Given the fact that there are few oil paintings in the artist's works, we singled them out in the second part, trying to break stereotypes about their perception. Each section of the first part is devoted to a separate genre, which was addressed by T. Shevchenko. The largest of the sections are divided into thematic headings, which allows you to see the works of the artist from a new, perhaps unexpected, angle. In turn, the commentary to each work contains a brief history of creation (places, circumstances, relationships, etc.) and artistic characteristics that reveal the performing skills of the author. In addition, an important addition is the part of the commentary "Interesting" and quotes from the novels, Diary, correspondence of the artist, memoirs of his contemporaries. You can start your acquaintance with the publication from any section or even heading. Traveling through Shevchenko's paintings on separate routes you will have a complete rich journey through the original world of the artist.

My White
by Ksenia Burzhskaya
A sensational and highly anticipated novel by Ksenia Burzhskaya, a Russian renowned journalist, writer, and co-host of the YouTube channel White Noise, together with the famous Russian writer, Tatyana Tolstaya. Ksenia is also a speechwriter for Alisa (a voice assistant and Yandex’s alternative to Alexa) and the winner of the literary competition My First Pain (2008) organized by another great Russian author, Ludmila Ulitskaya. My White is set in the modern day. Throughout the book, the main character, sixteen-year-old girl Jane (Zhenya) is preparing for a New Year school performance. Zhenya was brought up by her two moms, artist Alexandra and doctor Vera. But despite that, she faces the same problems every other teenager does: she studies, meets up with friends, falls for a boy, and tries her best to get over an unrequited love and her parents’ divorce. Zhenya’s ultimate goal and destination in the novel, the concert, has two purposes: to gather her mothers and hopefully make them change their mind about the divorce, and to give her a chance to confess to Lyonya, head of their music club and the guy she is secretly in love with. The novel has two central story lines. The first is a constant rehearsal, anticipation and premonition, that may be more important than the event itself. The second is memories, regrets, attempts to find your own way and answer the eternal questions: what is love? can it last forever? why do we love at all?

September 2021Where are you going, Iryna?
by Rosa Maria Pascual, Simon Berrill
I was a young journalist in the UK when the nuclear accidentat Chernobyl happened. At first it seemed like another of themany terrible things that happen in far-off countries andmake only brief headlines in our media before quickly disappearingfrom the front pages. Soon, though, a radioactivecloud began spreading across Europe and, perhaps for thefirst time, we were all forced to realise what a small, fragileworld we live in.Three decades on, Rosa Maria Pascual’s splendid noveltells the stories that weren’t heard at the time: what happened– and is still happening – to the people living aroundthe nuclear power station in what was then the Soviet Unionand is now Ukraine. From the first page it is a compellingread: a multi-stranded road movie of a book interweavingfirst-hand accounts of the explosion itself and its horrificconsequences; the journey of a woman from far-away Cataloniato discover the truth of the disaster as she helps childrenaffected by its consequences; and the odyssey of oneof those Chernobyl children who goes on the run with heryoung daughter to escape an unpleasant fate in her owncountry.There’s a lot more too. This is a book about nationalismand politics, about human nature, about little-known culturesand, most of all, about women and their defiant love forparents, children, husbands and lovers, set against a backgroundof disaster and tragedy. Because even in the darkestsituations, love offers a glimmer of hope for us all.Simon BerrillTranslator of the English edition “Someone once said that what makes a literarywork is what we might call “excellent use oflanguage”. Well, the novel “Where are you going,Iryna?” is undoubtedly a perfect example of this,packed with rare quality and sensitivity. Combininggreat narrative style and extreme delicacy,the author shows us the grim reality for thepeople of Ukraine of the tragedy that happenedat Chernobyl on 26 April 1986 during and afterthe accident at the nuclear power station.The story focuses on the character of Iryna,the people around her, and the experiences sheand her brother Vasyl have in Catalonia with ahost family when they are children. Flashingbackwards and forwards in time without everlosing clarity, the novel places us at differentperiods in Iryna’s exciting life as, despite theserious difficulties she often faces, she managesto maintain her enthusiasm and desire to get on.Iryna’s story is inspiring but also reminds us ofjust how far human beings can go wrong when wefail to calibrate certain technological applicationscorrectly. The Chernobyl disaster should certainlynot be forgotten considering that the price wenormally pay when we lose our collectivememory is repeating the same mistakes.All this makes Rosa Maria Pascual’s novel anexcellent, must-read book for remembering whatit means to contaminate land for centuries– something that should never, ever happen again. Ana Galisteo (English & Drama teacher)and Juan Méndez (Philosopher)
