      • 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

        Das Los, das man zieht

        by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Petra Zickmann

        Im Mai 1937 erhält Falcó einen neuen Auftrag: nach Paris reisen, Picassos Vertrauen gewinnen, dabei die Fertigstellung seines bedeutendsten Bildes sabotieren. Eine gefährliche Mission. Denn in Paris sind die, die weltvergessen feiern, die Künstler, Sammler, Tänzerinnen, nicht zu unterscheiden von denen, die bereit sind, für ihre Überzeugungen zu sterben … Im großen Finale seiner Spionagetrilogie erzählt Arturo Pérez-Reverte meisterhaft vom Einsturz der alten Welt, von Helden und Agenten und von ihrem erbitterten Kampf am Vorabend der großen Katastrophe. Über einen Mittelsmann wird Falcó in Paris eingeführt, als vermögender Sammler bei einem Abendessen. Sein Gegenüber, Leo Bayard, seines Zeichens Intellektueller, berühmter Kampfpilot und glühender Kommunist, hofft auf finanzielle Unterstützung seines Propagandafilms und verschafft Falcó Zugang. Zu den Galerien, zu den Ausschweifungen in Bars und Varietés, zum Atelier des großen Picasso und zum Gemälde Guernica. Wären da nur nicht die hübsche Frau an Bayards Seite, die Störfeuer von Stalins Agenten und die grobschlächtigen französischen Faschisten, die Falcós Pläne immer wieder durchkreuzen … Packende Spionageunterhaltung eines brillanten Erzählers.

        Tristana

        Roman. Aus dem Spanischen übersetzt und mit einem Nachwort versehen von Erna Pfeiffer

        by Benito Pérez Galdós, Erna Pfeiffer, Erna Pfeiffer

        Benito Pérez Galdós wurde 1843 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria geboren. Im Alter von 19 Jahren ging er nach Madrid, um Jura zu studieren. Dort lernte er Francisco Giner de los Ríos kennen, den Begründer der Institución Libre de Enseñanza, der ihn mit der Philosophie des Krausismo vertraut machte und ihn zum Schreiben ermutigte. Seinen ersten, noch von der Romantik beeinflußten Roman La fontana de oro veröffentlichte Galdós 1870. Er beschäftigte sich intensiv mit den Werken von Balzac und Dickens, die sein erzählerisches Werk zunehmend prägten. 1873 begann Galdós sein Projekt der Episodios nacionales, einem Zyklus historischer Romane, die sich mit der spanischen Geschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts auseinandersetzen. Zwischen 1873 und 1912 entstanden 46 Romane in diesem Zyklus. Galdós arbeitete auch als Journalist und schrieb Artikel zu gesellschaftlichen und politischen Problemen seiner Zeit. Galdós gilt aber vor allem als der Begründer des modernen spanischen Romans. Er schrieb weitere 32 Romane, die vorwiegend das Leben der spanischen Bourgeoisie, deren Gebräuche und Moralvorstellungen schildern und sich durch die feine psychologische Durchdringung der Charaktere auszeichnen. Zu den bekanntesten zählen Doña Perfecta (1876) und Fortunata y Jacinta (1886/87). In den 1890er Jahren beschäftigte Galdós sich auch mit dem Theater und schrieb mehrere Stücke. 1897 wurde Galdós Mitglied der Königlichen Spanischen Akademie der Sprache. Er engagierte sich auch politisch und war 1907 Spitzenkandidat der Republikanisch-Sozialistischen Partei in Madrid. 1912 erblindete er und starb 1920 in Madrid.

        Tristana by Benito Pérez Galdós

        by Catherine Davies, Pablo Valdivia

        Tristana is a novel where love, hate and power converge into a triangle of domination and frustration.Galdós', following the ideas of the Free Teaching Institution, intervened in the arena of the debate around the emancipation of women and their incorporation into the public sphere. Tristana, a young woman subjected to the rule of the tyrannical Don Lope, idealistically tries to find her purpose on life but she ends trapped by the rules of a world dominated by men who only see her as the object of their desire. Written in an experimental manner that defies the boundaries of theatre, epistolary and novel genres, Galdós' displays the purest nature of his characters by presenting their contradictions, weaknesses and virtues. He uses a deliberately ambiguous style that seeks to address fundamental questions regarding the unbalances of a Madrid in times of turbulence, but leaves the reader to draw their own meaning. ;

        Mary and Philip

        The marriage of Tudor England and Habsburg Spain

        by Alexander Samson

        Mary I, eldest daughter of Henry VIII, was Queen of England from 1553 until her death in 1558. For much of this time she ruled alongside her husband, King Philip II of Spain, forming a co-monarchy that put England at the heart of early modern Europe. In this book, Alexander Samson presents a bold reassessment of Mary and Philip's reign, rescuing them from the neglect they have suffered at the hands of generations of historians. The co-monarchy of Mary I and Philip II put England at the heart of early modern Europe. This positive reassessment of their joint reign counters a series of parochial, misogynist and anti-Catholic assumptions, correcting the many myths that have grown up around the marriage and explaining the reasons for its persistent marginalisation in the historiography of sixteenth-century England. Using new archival discoveries and original sources, the book argues for Mary as a great Catholic queen, while fleshing out Philip's important contributions as king of England.

        Marie Duval

        Maverick Victorian Cartoonist

        by Simon Grennan, Roger Sabin, Julian Waite

        Marie Duval: maverick Victorian cartoonist offers the first critical appraisal of the work of Marie Duval (Isabelle Émilie de Tessier, 1847-1890), one of the most unusual, pioneering and visionary cartoonists of the later nineteenth century. It discusses key themes and practices of Duval's vision and production, relative to the wider historic social, cultural and economic environments in which her work was made, distributed and read, identifing Duval as an exemplary radical practitioner. The book interrogates the relationships between the practices and the forms of print, story-telling, drawing and stage performance. It focuses on the creation of new types of cultural work by women and highlights the style of Duval's drawings relative to both the visual conventions of theatre production and the significance of the visualisation of amateurism and vulgarity. Marie Duval: maverick Victorian cartoonist establishes Duval as a unique but exemplary figure in a transformational period of the nineteenth century.

        Tyrants of Sicily by Hugo Falcandus

        by Graham Loud, Thomas Wiedemann

        This book is our principal source for the history of the Kingdom of Sicily in the troubled years between the death of its founder, King Roger, in February 1154 and the spring of 1169. It covers the reign of Roger's son, King William I, known to later centuries as 'the Bad', and the minority of the latter's son, William II 'the Good'. The book illustrates the revival of classical learning during the twelfth-century renaissance. It presents a vivid and compelling picture of royal tyranny, rebellion and factional dispute at court. Sicily had historically been ruled by tyrants, and that the rule of the new Norman kings could be seen, for a variety of reasons, as a revival of that classical tyranny. A more balanced view of Sicilian history of the period 1153-1169 has been provided as an appendix to the translation in the section of the contemporary world chronicle ascribed to Archbishop Romuald II of Salerno, who died in April 1181. In particular the chronicle of Romuald enables us to see how the papal schism of 1159 and the simultaneous dispute between the German Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and the north Italian cities affected the destiny of the kingdom of Sicily. In contrast to the shadowy figure of Hugo Falcandus, the putative author of the principal narrative of mid-twelfth-century Sicilian history, Romuald II, Archbishop of Salerno 1153-1181, is well-documented.

        La hermandad de la Casa Grande (The brotherhood of the Big House)

        Una novela negra sobre el juicio del Estado a los brujos de Chiloé (A detective novel about the state's trial of the witches of Chiloé)

        by Eduardo Pérez Arroyo

        It's 1879. To the north, Chile defends foreign investment in the Pacific War. To the south, beyond the already invaded Araucania, from a large, almost unexplored island, rumors of violence, superstition and a state incapable of enforcing its law spread. The elite would be at ease if some “elements” that are not occupied at the border with Peru penetrated Chiloé. They need evidence to condemn those criminals who terrorize the population with old indigenous beliefs. They call themselves witches. They are organized as La Recta Provincia or La Hermandad de la Casa Grande. They lie to scare and change the names of the cities on the island –Achao, Dalcahue or Quicaví–, confusing them with others: Buenos Aires, Villarrica, Salamanca. If they were only myths, it would be enough for the government to forget that secret place. But the one who calls himself the Greatest Liar in the World claims to have escaped the sorcerers and travels the north glimpsing the aliens: he talks to them of malice, monsters and murders; of the bloody clans' struggles to become a decaying reign. For these lies, or to secure an unstable national pride, coronels and tenants decide to put an end to things that a mortal has no power to finish.

        A complexity theory of literature

        by Lydia R. Cooper

        Combining the fields of evolutionary economics and the humanities, this book examines McCarthy's literary works as a significant case study demonstrating our need to recognise the interrelated complexities of economic policies, environmental crises, and how public policy and rhetoric shapes our value systems. In a world recovering from global economic crisis and poised on the brink of another, studying the methods by which literature interrogates narratives of inevitability around global economic inequality and eco-disaster is ever more relevant.

        Roy Ward Baker

        by Geoff Mayer, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard

        This book traces the career of Roy Ward Baker, one of the great survivors of the British film and television industry. He directed the landmark British film Morning Departure (1949), worked at Twentieth Century Fox in Hollywood in the early 1950s where he directed Marilyn Monroe's 'breakthrough' film (Don't Bother to Knock), and followed this with a succession of fine films for Rank, culminating in the best version of the Titanic disaster, A Night to Remember in 1958. Yet within three years he was unable to secure a job in the British film industry and he moved to television series such as The Avengers, The Saint and Minder. Later Baker re-emerged as a major director of science-fiction (Quatermass and the Pit) and horror films (Asylum). Geoff Mayer provides an industrial and aesthetic context in which to understand the interrelationship between a skilled classical director and the transformation of the British film industry in the 1950s. ;
