New York, Anchor Books 2001, cm.13x20, pp.354, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. In his subtle and engaging investigation into the life and times of Jesus, Thomas Cahill shows us Jesus from his birth to his execution through the eyes of those who knew him and in the context of his time—a time when the Jews were struggling to maintain their beliefs under overlords who imposed their worldview on their subjects. Here is Jesus the loving friend, itinerate preacher, and quiet revolutionary, whose words and actions inspired his followers to journey throughout the Roman world and speak the truth he instilled—in the face of the greatest defeat: Jesus' crucifixion as a common criminal. Daring, provocative, and stunningly original, Cahill's interpretation will both delight and surprise.

London, Timewarner 2003, cm.12,5x20, pp.340, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. Maintaining the froideur that has won her little public support, First Lady Elizabeth Tyler MacMann needs to find the hottest lawyer in town to defend her in the biggest murder trial in America's history. And that means taking on the services of the fiance she dumped at law school in order to marry the then distinguished war hero who eventually becomes President. Serially divorced, Boyce Baylor is not surprised - he's the only attorney up to the job and he knows it. It's all going swimmingly - he's got it nailed, until his client decides she wants to take the stand and restore her reputation and he has no choice but to acquiesce. Throw in several egos the size of the White House, media-spin like there's no tomorrow, the old boy network, some very underhand business involving the FBI, a pregnancy, a few sex toys and a dose of Viagra and you're some way into this delicious farce - which becomes all the more delicious when you realise how small a leap of the imagination is required to get there.

New York, Kensington Books 2005, cm.14x21, pp.312, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. Peter Pezzelli's remarkable debut, Home to Italy, won the hearts of readers and critics alike. Now, with Every Sunday, Pezzelli has created another unforgettable tale about life, love, family and friendship. In Providence, Rhode Island, everybody knows Nick Catini. Street smart, with a quick wit and a larger-than-life personality, Nick is the go-to guy, the owner of Catini's Hardware who's there to score friends tickets to the big game or fix his daughters' problems. Every Sunday, Nick presides over the family dinner, dishing out sauce and advice with equal abandon. It is a time for family, for grandchildren, for men watching football in the living room while the women gossip and plan in the kitchen. It is a time to remember what matters most in life. Sunday is the best day of the week, and nobody can imagine it without Nick. But when Nick is suddenly gone, that is exactly what they have to do--go on without him. For his girls--Maria, Nina, and Gina--it means learning to stand on their own feet while arguing about whether or not their mother, Teresa, can date again. For Teresa, it means trying somehow to keep her family together, even as she wonders what it would be like to find love again. And for her carefree son, Johnny, it means making good on his father's last request, a secret with the power to heal Johnny's guarded heart, if it doesn't destroy his family in the process. Now, as the first leaves of fall stick to the wet streets of New England, as the winter snow melts into the pastel hues of spring, and everything seems new and different, the Catinis will be tested and changed as never before. For what seems like an insurmountable loss just may be the beginning of the best part of their lives. . . At once both funny and heartwarming, with one of the most unique, unforgettable narrators to come along in years, Every Sunday is a warm, winning novel rich in hope, wisdom and the surprising strength of second chances

Traduction, notes et preface par Marcel Proust. Paris, Le Mercure de France s.d. ma primi 900, cm.12x19, pp.347, brossura. Collection d'Auteurs Etrangers. Huitième édition. La prima volta che leggiamo il nome di John Ruskin citato nella corrispondenza proustiana è in una lettera indirizzata alla madre intorno al 25 (o 26) settembre del 1899. L incontro fulminante con le idee ruskiniane apre un capitolo nuovo e fondamentale per la vita di Proust. Ormai completamente assorto nella lettura dei testi dell autore inglese. Alla fine di Ottobre 1899 si reca ad Amiens a visitare la celebre cattedrale seguendo meticolosamente l itinerario consigliato da Ruskin ne la Bibbia di Amiens. Proust rimodellò l opera di Ruskin nella sua lunga introduzione e nelle numerose note a piè di pagina, scelse di tradurre La Bibbia di Amiens per far conoscere ai lettori francesi l unico studio integrale di Ruskin sulla Francia e sull architettura gotica francese, e anche perché Ruskin considerava l opera rappresentativa del suo intero "sistema". Questo contributo esamina il modo in cui Proust si appropria del testo di Ruskin, facendolo suo attraverso l aggiunta del suo invasivo apparato critico. Il fatto che Proust abbia iniziato a lavorare su La Bible d Amiens quando era a Venezia nel 1900 conferisce una sfumatura italiana alla sua versione.
