Sinossi

We are delighted to announce the release of a new series of English books for young and old that introduce readers to the world and culture of ancient Greece through the iconic heroines of mythology. Whether adaptations of classic tragedies by Euripides, Aeschylus, and Sophocles or original works based on well-known sources, these books aim to take readers on a journey of adventure, drama, death, and love while focusing on the women who they played such an important part in our history - and are often still remembered as mere spectators. The series begins with six books: Medea, Circe, Electra, Helen, Ariadne, and Antigone. The first three are issued in March 2024, while the next three in the summer. Each book can be read separately and you can start reading in any order, but there is a basic thread that ultimately connects all these characters and provides a broader view of what it was like to be a woman in the ancient Greek world.
Vittorio Mattioli and Mike French are writers, translators and editors of texts and books. "Citizens of the world", they created the company Read Panda Editing, based in Estonia. Vittorio is Greek-Italian and lives in Athens and Mike (despite his last name) is British and lives in Brussels. They provide their services mainly in English, but you can also communicate with them in Italian, French, Greek, Icelandic and Spanish. The series Great Women of Greek Mythology is their first publishing work in Greece.
The special covers of the series have been designed by the talented illustrator Little Miss Grumpy. Born in Athens, she dreamed of becoming an actress, but eventually became one of the most promising illustrators of her generation. He draws, sketches and paints for books and newspapers and creates objects with… personality.
Disponibile da: 03/09/2024.
Lunghezza di stampa: 140 pagine.

    One cursed sapphire, two broken hearts, and a race against time to end a deadly legacy... Can love rewrite fate before Christmas morning? 
    When art historian and jeweler Emma Sinclair, a vivacious American in her 30s, is invited to Italy over the holidays to appraise a rare, mysterious gemstone rumored to be linked to the Italian Renaissance, she jumps at the chance. What she doesn’t expect is for the client to be Maurizio Ferrante, the elusive billionaire whose name she’s only heard in whispers. 
    Maurizio hires her reluctantly, partly because of his strict privacy and partly because of a shocking rumor: the gemstone Emma is appraising may have been in the possession of his late fiancée. As Emma begins her research, she discovers hidden letters, possibly linking Maurizio’s fiancée to a hidden lover, secrets, and betrayal. 
    Thrown together by work, the pair’s undeniable chemistry ignites. Despite Maurizio’s resistance, he can’t help but be captivated by Emma’s charm, intellect, and warmth. Emma is intrigued by the mysterious billionaire, and as they explore the Italian countryside, the festive lights and wintry magic of Christmas in Tuscany begin to thaw the ice around Maurizio’s heart. 
    As they uncover secrets about the gemstone and its complicated history, they realize the mystery is far from romantic. It leads them to a dangerous game of greed and deception—someone else desperately wants the gemstone, and they’ll go to any lengths to get it. 
    In a dramatic Christmas Eve climax, Emma and Maurizio must race against time to protect the gemstone, their budding love, and each other.

    Cindy is shocked to learn that she may inherit a fortune from her estranged grandfather, but it comes with a catch—she must listen to her grandfather’s favorite record. That simple act propels her into a world of myth, magic, and music. Guided by Jack, the Green Man of myth, and the tree spirit, Auntie Hemlock, Cindy joins a troupe of traveling minstrels: a handsome singer, a bard, a dancer, a teamster, and a silent flute player. They are sexy and mysterious and fun, but also dangerous. Can she trust them? Will they help her find her way back home? Or will she get lost in their world, losing her Way until going back and going home are not the same? 
    Based on the Jethro Tull album Songs from the Wood, this book, Tales from the Wood, weaves the songs’ themes from that iconic prog-rock album into a modern portal fairy tale of love and lust, trust and betrayal, revenge and redemption; all while our heroine tries to find her Way by following her heart. 
    Well-written folklore references in an engaging modern fairy tale.  — Ian Anderson August 2022
