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

Hannah muss Raupen sammeln, Pfeil und Bogen basteln und Holz fürs Lagerfeuer sammeln. Von ihrem geheimen Versteck weiß nur das Seltsame Pelzmonster, ein eigenartiges flauschiges Wesen, mit dem Hannah sich angefreundet hat. Gemeinsam machen es sich die beiden dort gemütlich und schlafen auf einem Bett aus Blättern. Doch dann dringt aus der Ferne eine Stimme zu ihr: »Wo bist du?« … Und Hannah wischt die Radiergummikrümel zur Seite und wirft schnell noch einen Blick auf das Bild, das sie gemalt hat: von sich und dem Seltsamen Pelzmonster in ihrem verwunschenen Versteck. Ein Buch über die unendliche Kraft der Fantasie, uns in neue Welten zu entführen, mit zauberhaften Bildern der international gefeierten Illustratorin Felicita Sala.

        Der Oktopus haut ab

        Seine aufregende Reise zurück ins Meer | Kinderbuch ab 3 Jahre

        by Maile Meloy, Felicita Sala, Stefanie Jacobs

        Glücklich wohnt der Oktopus in einer Höhle im Meer. Er schaut den bunten Fischen zu, die vorbeischwimmen, und ab und an fängt er sich einen leckeren Krebs. Doch sein beschauliches Leben hat ein jähes Ende, als ein Forschungsteam ihn gefangen nimmt und in ein Aquarium bringt. Hier soll der Tintenfisch zeigen, wie schlau er ist. Mit seinen Fähigkeiten begeistert er zwar die Menschen, nur ihm selbst ist bei all diesen öden Experimenten schrecklich langweilig. Und noch nicht einmal sein Abendessen darf er sich selbst fangen. Die Menschen merken gar nicht, wie sehr er sich nach der Freiheit und dem Meer zurücksehnt. Kein Wunder also, dass der clevere Oktopus bei der nächsten Gelegenheit ausbüxt – und sich auf den weiten Weg zurück in sein geliebtes Zuhause macht. Mit leuchtend farbenfrohen Illustrationen erzählt dieses Buch von den Abenteuern eines Oktopus, der Sehnsucht nach seinem Zuhause und dem Mut, Grenzen zu überwinden. Eine einzigartige Geschichte über eines der schlauesten und faszinierendsten Lebewesen der Erde. Empfohlen ab 3 Jahren

        by Ammi-Joan Paquette, Felicita Sala, Stefanie Jacobs

        Eines Tages bekommt Emilia von ihrem Großvater ein ganz besonderes Geschenk: eine Walnuss. Nur mit so einer Nuss in der Tasche und einem kleinen Koffer reiste ihr Opa einst übers Meer in ein neues, unbekanntes Land. Inzwischen ist daraus der große Baum in Großvaters Garten geworden, der ihn an seine Heimat erinnert. Gemeinsam staunen sie, wie auch aus Emilias Walnuss nach und nach ein Bäumchen wird. Doch während es in seinem Topf auf der Fensterbank wächst und gedeiht, wird ihr Großvater zusehends schwächer – bis sie sich eines Tages von ihm verabschieden muss. Emilias Bäumchen sieht so traurig aus, wie sie sich fühlt … doch sie weiß, was sie zu tun hat. Einfühlsam erzählt dieses Buch vom Kreislauf des Lebens und davon, dass alle guten Dinge Zeit zum Wachsen brauchen. Es erinnert daran, dass geliebte Menschen stets ein Teil von uns bleiben, selbst wenn sie nicht mehr da sind.

        Football and Fascism

        by Cristóbal Villalobos Salas

        Football is a game, a passion, a form of social gathering, a business; and, therefore, also an effective tool for controlling the masses. Thanks to its unrivaled ability to create myths and to the intrinsic epic of the game, this sport has been exploited since its dawn as mean of ideological propaganda as well as, more recently, for commercial uses. The first ones to realize its immense power of suggestion were perhaps the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century, who, in their eagerness to cut across all strata of society, used this popular discipline as a rudimentary but also powerful instrument of political marketing. These pages bring together the most meaningful episodes of this disturbing symbiosis between football and fascist dictatorships; anecdotes, feats —some tragic and others downright bizarre— in which football has been used as a blindfold to cover the eyes of the masses. It worked perfectly as a vehicle for indoctrination, fitting into the delirious propaganda designs conceived by the tyrants of those times. The book is divided into three parts: Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany, Franco's Spain and Salazar's Portugal, as well as some Latin American dictatorships.

        Lunatic Detective

        by Sharon Sala

        As Tara and Flynn are closing in on Dee Dee Broyles' killer, a deadly new ghost begins to threaten them. It's just another day in Tara's lunatic life . . . All during the day at school, Tara kept picturing the moment when she and Nate would find DeeDee's grave. Even the classes she had with Flynn, who made everything fun, never seemed to end. By the time the last bell rang, she was fired up like a roman candle on the Fourth of July. She bolted from her seat, made a quick stop at her locker, and slipped out a side door instead of taking the front, knowing full well she was going to miss seeing Flynn. She didn't have time to delay or explain, and she had a feeling he wouldn't be all that thrilled in what she was doing. He was pretty cool about her psychic stuff, but digging for bodies fell way out of the realm of normal-even for her. Sharon Sala is the bestselling author of romance, suspense and historical novels for adults, and now, of the popular Lunatic Life mysteries for young adults. She's hard at work on her next Lunatic Life novel. Visit her at www.SharonSalaBooks.com.
