The Gauls

Jean-Louis Brunaux

Brave Enemies of Rome

• A fascinating journey into the world of an unknown people.

• Rich in illustrations, maps, charts, and diagrams that make the material accessible for all ages.

• Jean-Louis Brunaux, director of research at CNRS (the largest public research organization in France), has directed many archaeological digs and published numerous works on Gallic civilization.

What’s left to learn about the Gauls? Just about everything. Despite archaeological discoveries and what we’ve gleaned from literary sources, this complex civilization remains shrouded in mystery.

Who were they? Where did they come from? How was their society structured? What do we know about their religion, their language, and their art? This volume, enriched by splendid illustrations – many of which aren’t available anywhere else –, offers readers a complete panorama of the history and culture of the people who dared to challenge Rome.

S. Santamaria L. Boccia

Werewolves Sons of the Moon

• A complete guide to werewolves, from history to legends, folklore to literature, film and music.

• The publication of this volume will coincide with the theatre release of Breaking Dawn, the fourth instalment of the Twilight series, which has set off real “werewolfmania.”

• Enriched with stunning colour illustrations, real stories and strange tales from all corners of the world, sure to capture readers of all ages.

We usually think of werewolves as scary creatures with supernatural powers and predatory instincts that come out under a full moon. But where does this belief come from? And how has it changed through history? This volume starts with these questions, and proposes a reconstruction of our understanding of the phenomenon of werewolves, analyzing their lesser known attributes.

Starting with the origin of the wolf-man myth in world literature to the legends which circle the globe, it presents an unedited look at one of the most popular fantasty creatures of all time, which captures our imagination today as much as ever.

This book answers all those questions and more, presenting a world filled with marvellous creatures and fantastic legends to entrance readers of all ages.

Help!

Vincenzo Oliva

All of the songs and albums that the Beatles recorded with other musicians – 1961-2011

• The Beatles as artists, musicians, and producers for other artists.

• The book is divided into four parts, one for each Beatle and their respective collaborators, totalling over 300 artists.

• A journey that started long ago and arrives at the present day, tracing half a century in music from vinyl to CD.

In 2012, we will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Love Me Do, the Beatles’ first 45 record, but parts of their story are still obscure and little known. Which of those discs released for Apple features one of the Beatles? What was the nature of their artistic relationship with musicians like Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Elton John, Rod Stewart, and Eric Clapton? Was the Beatles’ famous rivalry with the Rolling Stones real? How is it that Paul recorded a song with actor Steve Martin? All this and more is investigated in these pages, the fruit of over 15 years of research by an incomparable researcher and super fan.

Il 17 dicembre 2010 Mohamed Bouazizi, un giovane venditore ambulante tunisino, si dà fuoco per protestare contro i continui soprusi della polizia. È la miccia che innesca la straordinaria rivoluzione che incendierà tutto il Maghreb: il 14 gennaio 2011 un’imponente manifestazione di piazza a Tunisi costringe alle dimissioni Ben Ali, al potere da ventitré anni. Questo libro, scritto da due giovani italiani che lavorano Francesca in Tunisia, è Russo una cronaca, ma anche un tentativo di spiegare come il gesto di – Simone Santi un povero ambulante, che si è immolato per rivendicare la propria dignità, abbia coinvolto un intero popolo che ha abbattuto il “muro della paura” dando il via a un cambiamento inaspettato. Oltre che sull’esperienza personale degli autori e su interviste a familiari dei “martiri della rivoluzione”, avvocati, artisti, blogger e giornalisti, il racconto si basa sulle centinaia di messaggi scambiati all’epoca della rivolta sui social network come Facebook e Twitter, che durante la “primavera araba” si sono trasformati in una piazza virtuale in cui esprimere il proprio dissenso.

No More Fear.

Tunis. Diary of a Revolution

• The Authors, an anthropologist and an economist, have made their home in Tunisia for a long time, after ten years spent in Africa, Asia and America, following a shared passion for countries in the developing world, and working for various international organizations.

• In addition to the Authors’ personal experiences and their interviews with lawyers, artists, bloggers and journalists, they tell this story through the hundreds of messages exchanged within social networks like Facebook and Twitter, which became virtual public squares for expressing dissent during the “Arab Spring”.

On December 17, 2010, young Tunisian peddler Mohamed Bouazizi sets himself on fire to protest the ongoing police abuse. This is the spark that sets off a revolution which spreads throughout the Maghreb. On January 14, 2011, a great public demonstration in Tunisia forces the dismissal of Ben Ali after twenty-three years of power. This book, written by two young Italian officials living in Tunisia, is both a chronicle of events as well as an attempt to explain how the gesture of a poor peddler, who sacrificed himself in order to reclaim his dignity, gave way to unexpected changes.

• A volume devoted to the genre actors who made their mark on the history of French cinema.

• Each of the 135 featured actors is given a detailed biography of their life and career, as well as a portrait, and a selection of stills from their films.

• Serge Regourd is a professor at the University of Toulouse 1 Capitole, where he heads the department of Media, Culture and Communications. He is the author of dozens of books on cultural politics and media, and on the subject of actors.

This book celebrates the “character actors” who made their mark on the history of French cinema.

While their faces are familiar to audiences, their names, for the most part, are not. They were not only great “supporting actors” in dozens of films, but also great stage actors cast for character parts, stars of independent films, and fetish-actors of great directors, although they never had commercial success.

FLAVIA PAPPACENA

IL

LINGUAGGIO DELLA DANZA

Poeti, letterati, artisti hanno decantato il balletto per le sue forme, i suoi colori, la sua bellezza, e per la forza evocatrice delle sue immagini. Nel balletto classico le immagini costituiscono, infatti, un elemento di comunicazione essenziale, non solo per la loro capacità di colpire la fantasia dello spettatore e di suscitare emozioni, ma anche per la complessità dei messaggi impliciti nei gesti, nei disegni spaziali, nel ritmo visivo dei movimenti e nella foggia dei costumi e dei decori.

Con una scelta eterogenea di oltre 300 illustrazioni – dal repertorio della danza, delle arti figurative e applicate –, questo libro esamina gli aspetti centrali dello spettacolo di balletto ricostruendo, in una sorta di percorso ideale, i principi tecnici e stilistici, il rapporto con la società e le mode, la funzione del costume e della scenografia, lo spazio della rappresentazione tra Settecento e Ottocento.

L’originalità della selezione iconografica – innovativa nel metodo e nella documentazione – e il taglio interdisciplinare del testo hanno l’obiettivo di presentare

• An aesthetic and technical analysis drawn from rare images of classical ballet discovered in unpublished sources of great cultural and artistic prestige.

• The purpose of this highly original iconographic selection – innovative in methodology and documentation – and its interdisciplinary point of view is to share with readers a wealth of unpublished Classical Dance sources.

Here, a mixed selection of over 300 illustrations (of which 50 in colour), chosen from a collection of dance images from the figurative and applied arts, focuses on each of the key aspects of the Ballet performance. It reconstructs technical and stylistic principles of development, considers the influence of society and trends, the function of costumes and sets, and the influence of eighteenth and nineteenth century representation.

Italian Superbikes

• A broad catalogue of the most beautiful and prestigious motorbikes made in Italy.

• Descriptions of different models, including photos, history, and technical details.

• The most up-to-date guide to one of Italy’s finest products. A fascinating book for even the most expert bikers.

You can’t talk about motorbikes without mentioning the great Italian makers, above all Moto Guzzi and Gilera. But a new “renaissance” of Italian motorbikes came about in the mid-1990s, with the Ducati 916, a model which represented a shift in how they were made, both aesthetically and technically. From a historical point of view, the list of important Italian models is exceptionally long.

This book, instead, presents the most interesting and successful models that have come out in the last few decades. And we’re not just talking about motorbikes; there’s a nod to another vehicle which revolutionized the world on two wheels: the Vespa.

Scenes for Two

• The book has been conceived not only as a handy tool for theatre and drama students, but also for actors seeking new material and directions and, of course, for all theatre lovers. • For each passage, the age of the characters is given as well as a brief introductory note.

This is a collection of scenes-for-two that presents the scenes grouped according to male and female role combinations (male-male, female-female, male-female) and noted by emotion and emotional intensity. Alongside famous numi of international theatre, the reader will find talents that are perhaps less well-known, but just as fascinating. These include non-Italian authors such as Kohout, Mrozek, Sartre; and Italian authors such as Brancati, Fabbri and Augias.

I’m All In

• The story of a man who is fond of Poker. He is not a gambler, but a common man, a family man who is in work and love crisis, a man in his forties who has his regrets to reckon with: someone who is always in search of himself.

• Together with the protagonist, the reader also learns the basic rules to enter the game processes and participate to the developing of the most significant hands.

The novel starts from the story crucial step: the main character is in the core of a competition and has to take the most important and dramatic decision of his brief and sudden gambler career. Once successfully overcome the impasse, the novel flashes back, from the discovery of Texas Hold’em to the final stages of one of the most important tournaments in the world.

Illustrato da disegni accattivanti che rievocano gli antichi codici miniati del Trecento, questo primo volume della collana «I Giochi della Sfinge» propone quasi cento stimolanti quesiti a base di numeri, da quelli intuitivi che si risolvono con il classico lampo di genio ai problemi che invece richiedono un pizzico di concentrazione in più (e magari l’ausilio di carta e penna…). Ma ce n’è anche qualcuno che sfida la mente a trovare soluzioni apparentemente impossibili a “paradossi” o “incongruità” numeriche. Scoprirete, ad esempio, che esiste un modo per considerare esatta l’espressione 2 + 11 = 1, e che talvolta persino 3 + 3 = 8 ha una sua ragione d’essere.

Leggere per credere.
