Introduction and Notes by Dr Claire Seymour, University of Kent at Canterbury The Turn of the Screw is the classic ghost story for which James is most remembered. Set in a country house, it is a chilling tale of the supernatural. The Aspern Papers is a tale of Americans in Europe, cleverly evoking the drama of comedie humaine against the settings of a Venetian palace. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily'
One terrible winter, King Leander leads his troop of bears down the mountains of Sicily in search of food. Along their treacherous and sometimes heartbreaking journey, the bears encounter an army of wild boars, a wily professor who may or may not be a magician, ghosts, snarling Marmoset the Cat, and, worst of all, treachery within their own ranks.
If the bears' famous invasion of sicily sounds too distressing to read alone, that's because it is. Lemony Snicket's introduction to this extraordinary tale is unlikely to make you feel any better, and a careful study of Snicket's Reader's Companion, cleverly hidden at the back, may actually make you feel worse. For that reason, among many others, it is recommended that you either abandon this book, abandon plans to read it, or abandon all hope.

A Number One bestseller on publication in Italy, CITY is a dazzlingly inventive novel from the prize-winning author of SILK. In Baricco's words: "CITY is an important title for me, because it expresses what this book has always been in my head. A city. No particular city. An impression of a city rather. Its skeleton. I thought of the stories I had in mind as if they were neighbourhoods. And I imagined characters as if they were streets...There is a boy called Gould, and a girl called Shatzy Shell. There are professors, people who play football, a black kid who plays basketball and never fails to score, and there's also a general". [via]

CONTAINING MORE THAN three hundred recipes, Claudia Rodens timeless and enchanting book is set against a backdrop of the story of Italy and its people and is the most authoritative and approachable guide to one of the worlds best-loved cuisines by one of the great food writers of our time.
For an entire year Roden traveled up and down Italy, through every region, taking in city and countryside, to discover the local specialties on their home ground. She visited the kitchens of both professional and private cooks, watching them at work and listening to their stories.

The Sunday Telegraph has called The Food of Italy, Excellent . . . a collection of delicious recipes chosen on the basis of strong flavors and ease of preparation. A glorious feast of a book, a splendid history, geography and cooking lesson rolled into one, says the Financial Times.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Confessor'
Gabriel Allon, Daniel Silva's protagonist in an interesting series about a Mossad spy who doubles as an art restorer, returns in a fascinating tale of Vatican complicity in the Holocaust. Author Silva, a political journalist turned espionage writer, has done his homework on some recently unearthed documents and written a fast-paced novel that will reawaken the discussion regarding whether the Catholic Church turned a blind eye to Nazi atrocities against Jews in occupied countries during World War II, and if so, why. Allon remains an enigmatic figure whose desire for revenge against the Leopard, the assassin who killed his wife and child, compels him to put down his paints and brushes and take arms against Israel's past and present enemies. The Confessor is a solidly plotted, well-crafted story that will appeal to fans of Allen Furst, John le Carré, and other standouts in the international espionage genre. --Jane Adams [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Moro Affair and the Mystery of Majorana'
On March 16, 1978 Aldo Moro, a former Prime Minister of Italy, was ambushed in Rome. Within three minutes the gang killed his escort and bundled Moro into one of three getaway cars. An hour later the terrorist group the Red Brigades announced that Moro was in their hands; on March 18 they said he would be tried in a "people's court of justice." Seven weeks later Moro's body was discovered in the trunk of a car parked in the crowded center of Rome.
The Moro Affair presents a chilling picture of how a secretive government and a ruthless terrorist faction help to keep each other in business.
Also included in this book is "The Mystery of Majorana," Sciascia's fascinating investigation of the disappearance of a major Italian physicist during Mussolini's regime. [via]

The entire span of Venetian art - in architechture, sculpture, and painting - from the 13th through the 18th centuries is systematically explained by renowned art historians. If you approach Venice by way of the lagoon, the city appears to be as homogenous as a single building. But as soon as you step into its shadowy alleys, you will be captivated by the palazzi, churches, and private palaces where the eye is drawn to the dazzling sylistic variety of Moorish window arches adjacent to balconies in Venetian Gothic and severe Renaissance facades.

Con La Rabbia e lOrgoglio (2001), Oriana Fallaci rompe un silenzio durato dieci anni, dalla pubblicazione di Insciallah, epico romanzo sulla missione occidentale di pace nella Beirut dilaniata dallo scontro tra cristiani e musulmani e dalle faide con Israele. Dieci anni in cui la Fallaci sceglie di vivere ritirata nella sua casa newyorchese, come in esilio, a combattere il cancro. Ma non smette mai di lavorare al testo narrativo dedicato alla sua famiglia, quello che lei chiama il-miobambino, pubblicato postumo nel 2008, Un cappello pieno di ciliege.LUndici Settembre le impone di tornare con furia alla macchina da scrivere per dar voce a quelle idee che ha sempre coltivato nelle interviste, nei reportage, nei romanzi, ma che ha poi imprigionato dentro il cuore e dentro il cervello dicendosi tanto-la-gente-non-vuole-ascoltare. Il risultato è un articolo sul Corriere della Sera del 29 settembre 2001, un sermone lo definisce lei stessa, accolto con enorme clamore in Italia e allestero. Esce in forma di libro nella versione originaria e integrale, preceduto da una prefazione in cui la Fallaci affronta alle radici la questione del terrorismo islamico e parla di sé, del suo isolamento, delle sue scelte rigorose e spietate. La risposta è esplosiva, le polemiche feroci. Mentre i critici si dividono, ladesione dei lettori, in tutto il mondo, è unanime di fronte alla passione che anima queste pagine. La Rabbia e lOrgoglio, imprescindibile per capire i nostri tempi e quelli a venire, è pubblicato nella collana BUR delle Opere di Oriana Fallaci con la prefazione di Ferruccio de Bortoli che, direttore del Corriere nel 2001, chiese a Oriana larticolo sullabbattimento delle due Torri a Manhattan. In Appendice, due testi scritti dalla Fallaci a commento delle edizioni francese e americana. [via]

Vito Corleone is the most respected Don of New York. He is merciless with his rivals, but also intelligent, astute and faithful to honor and friendship. His life and businesses, as well as those of his son and heir, make up the storyline of this masterpiece. With the publication of The Godfather, for the first time the Mafia was portrayed from the inside. Later, Puzo himself would write the scripts for the famous trilogy of Francis Ford Coppola.
Description in Spanish:
Vito Corleone es el Don más respetado de Nueva York, ciudad a la que llegó como emigrante desde su Sicilia natal a los doce años. Don Corleone es implacable con sus rivales, pero es también un hombre inteligente, astuto y fiel a los principios del honor y la amistad. La vida y negocios de Don Corleone, así como los de su hijo y heredero, conforman el eje de esta obra maestra.
La publicación de El Padrino en 1969 supuso una convulsión en el mundo literario, pues por primera vez la Mafia aparecía novelada desde su interior; presentada como una compleja contrasociedad con una cultura, unas interrelaciones y unas jerarquías comúnmente aceptadas. Posteriormente, el propio Puzo escribiría los guiones de la famosa trilogía de películas de Francis Ford Coppola. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'La rabia y el orgullo/ Rage and Pride'
Con esta obra Oriana Fallaci rompe un silencio de diez años, y lo hace tomando como punto de partida el apocalipsis que la mañana del 11 de septiembre de 2001, no muy lejos de su casa de Manhattan, desintegró las Torres Gemelas y redujo a cenizas a miles de personas. Precedido por el asombro que provocó la publicación parcial de su texto, días después de la terrible tragedia, el libro se presenta por fin en su versión íntegra y original y enriquecido con un dramático prólogo en el que Fallaci muestra por qué el terrorismo islámico no acaba con la derrota de los talibanes y describe la realidad global de la Guerra Santa. Un prólogo en el que, tomándonos por sorpresa, la escritora italiana habla también de sí misma: de su trabajo, su hermético aislamiento, y de sus elecciones rigurosas y despiadadas. Con su notable valentía, lanza acusaciones durísimas y dispara invectivas furibundas. Con brutal sinceridad expone las ideas, las pasiones y las reflexiones que, durante estos años de obstinado silencio, quiso callar. Es un libro que sacude las conciencias e incluso las perturba. Pero también es el retrato de un alma, de su alma. [via]
