Sinopse

Raccolta di ottantacinque diverse testimonianze biografiche di italiani che risiedono e lavorano all’estero, narrate in prima persona e da diretti discendenti ed espresse in tre diverse lingue: italiano, inglese, spagnolo. Un lavoro di ricerca durato quasi due anni attraverso Internet, i social network e i diversi media dedicati agli italiani nel mondo. Un documento particolare e sorprendente, che si presta a diverse chiavi di lettura, proponendosi come un testo di consultazione per la storia economica e sociale degli italiani all’estero e, al tempo, presentandosi come testo di approfondimento psicologico e d’intrattenimento, da percorrersi attraverso la narrazione delle singole vicende di vita e di lavoro ed altre storie che come scatole cinesi inevitabilmente vi si inseriscono. Racconti commoventi, divertenti, emozionanti, tanto diversi tra loro eppure accomunati dallo stesso spirito d’avventura, coraggio, determinazione che li ha animati, toccando temi quali l’emarginazione e la discriminazione, il razzismo, la difficoltà della lingua, la diversità di usi e costumi, il cibo, la geografia. Estenuanti viaggi in piroscafo, abbandoni, matrimoni celebrati per procura, ricongiungimenti familiari, ricerca di migliori condizioni di vita, fuga dalle persecuzioni razziali, viaggi della speranza, ragioni di studio e professionali, questi ed altri infiniti i motivi che nel corso di circa 300 anni di storia hanno spinto 26 milioni di italiani ad emigrare all’estero.

    After seven weeks of bitter fighting there was a desperate need to break out of the Normandy bridgehead.  In late July 1944 Lieutenant-General Sir Miles Dempseys Second Army moved two entire corps from the Caen sector to the relatively quiet countryside around Caumont.  Here, the British XXX Corps prepared to give battle, with VII Corps advancing in support on the right flank between XXX Corps and the American first Army.  The offensive did not go to plan.  While the XXX Corps attack stalled, VIII Corps surged ahead.  With the experienced 11th Armoured and 15th Scottish Divisions in the lead and Guards Armoured close behind, a deep penetration was made, threatening to take the pivotal city of Vire and unhinge General Haussers German Seventh Army.The main narrative of this book will span the initial break-in from Caumont on 30 July, through the armored battles of the following days, to the desperate German counter-attacks of 4  6 August, the no less desperate German defense of Estry up to the middle of the month, and the final withdrawal from Normandy.  The book also examines Montys refusal to seize Vire, the disputed Anglo-American border and the Operations impact on the German Mortain offensive.

    My Secret Life, the gargantuan erotic autobiography of a wealthy Victorian English gentleman has been described as 'the strangest book ever written'. Comprising one-hundred-and-eighty-four chapters and over one million words, the epic confessional describes in eloquent and explicit detail the exploits of a man (who refers to himself simply as 'Walter'), whose life was devoted to the pursuit of erotic adventure and carnal pleasure.
    
    Now for the first time in the history of this infamous erotic masterpiece, film composer Dominic Crawford Collins is producing a fully scored narration of the complete unabridged text. More 'audiofilm' than audiobook, each chapter and scene has its own unique musical accompaniment, reflecting the author's changing emotional landscape and offering the listener a truly immersive erotic audio experience.

    With this revelatory and painstakingly researched book, Martha Washington, the invisible woman of American history, at last gets the biography she deserves. In place of the domestic frump of popular imagination, Patricia Brady resurrects the wealthy, attractive, and vivacious young widow who captivated the youthful George Washington. Here are the able landowner, the indomitable patriot (who faithfully joined her husband each winter at Valley Forge), the shrewd diplomat, and emotional mainstay. And even as it brings Martha Washington into sharper and more accurate focus, this sterling life sheds light on her marriage, her society, and the precedents she established for future First Ladies.

    The Parable of the Knocker is a nonfiction book about the investigation, prosecution, and trial of a notorious serial killer, Charles Severance. Severance committed his crimes in the City of Alexandria, Virginia, an affluent, historic community just miles south of Washington, DC.
     
    Over the course of a decade, Severance ambushed three outstanding Alexandria residents in their middle-class neighborhood by knocking on their front doors in broad daylight and shooting them unexpectedly when they answered the knock. Severance was not personally acquainted with any of his victims, and instead selected his targets to revenge perceived wrongs and terrorize a community.
