        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

        Diese Liebe

        by Yann Andréa, Andrea Spingler

        Seine erste Begegnung mit der Duras ist eine mit ihren Büchern, allein schon ihr Name eine Faszination. Er schreibt ihr täglich Briefe, erst nach fünf Jahren antwortet sie. Im Sommer 1980 sucht er die Duras in Trouville auf und bleibt für immer. Er wird Yann Andréa, ihr Geliebter, Sekretär, Chauffeur und zuletzt auch ihr Krankenpfleger. Sieben Jahre nach dem Erscheinen von »Yann Andréa Steiner«, Duras᾿ lyrischem Text über die Geschichte ihrer Begegnung, schreibt Yann Andréa sein Gegenstück. Und erzählt schonungslos aus seiner Sicht die Beziehung zwischen dem 27jährigen suizidgefährdeten Studenten und der 66jährigen vereinsamten Schriftstellerin. Das mutige Buch gibt Einblicke in das unkonventionelle Leben eines symbiotischen Liebespaars, in die gegenseitigen Abhängigkeiten und Verletzungen, den Tod der Duras und die Zeit danach, in der sich Yann vom Leben zurückzieht. Die Fragen, die diese Romanbiographie über eine Liebe voller Unmöglichkeiten aufwirft, machen sie zur elektrisierenden Lektüre.

        Crossing borders and queering citizenship

        Civic reading practice in contemporary American and Canadian writing

        by Zalfa Feghali

        Can reading make us better citizens? In Crossing borders and queering citizenship, Feghali crafts a sophisticated theoretical framework to theorise how the act of reading can contribute to the queering of contemporary citizenship in North America. Providing sensitive and convincing readings of work by both popular and niche authors, including Gloria Anzaldúa, Dorothy Allison, Gregory Scofield, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Erín Moure, Junot Díaz, and Yann Martel, this book is the first to not only read these authors together, but also to discuss how each powerfully resists the exclusionary work of state-sanctioned citizenship in the U.S. and Canada. This book convincingly draws connections between queer theory, citizenship studies, and border studies and sheds light on how these connections can reframe our understanding of American Studies.

        Spanish cinema 1973–2010

        Auteurism, politics, landscape and memory

        by Edited by Maria M. Delgado and Robin Fiddian

        This collection offers a new lens through which to examine Spain's cinema production following the isolation imposed by the Franco regime. The seventeen key films analysed in the volume span a period of thirty-five years that have been crucial in the development of Spain, Spanish democracy and Spanish cinema. They encompass different genres (horror, thriller, melodrama, social realism, documentary), both popular (Los abrazos rotos/Broken Embraces, Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and more select art house fare (En la ciudad de Sylvia/In the City of Sylvia, El espíritu de la colmena/Spirit of the Beehive) and are made in English (as both first and second language), Basque, Castilian, Catalan and French. Offering an expanded understanding of 'national' cinemas, the volume explores key works by Guillermo del Toro and Lucrecia Martel alongside an examination of the ways in which established auteurs (Almodóvar, José Garci, Carlos Saura) and the younger generations of filmmakers (Cesc Gay, Amenábar, Bollaín) have harnessed cinematic language towards a commentary on the nation-state.

The result is a bold new study of the ways in which film has created new prisms that have determined how Spain is positioned in the global marketplace.
