Gli Assiri all'ombra del Vesuvio / a cura di Simonetta Graziani
Milano : Electa, 2019
Milano : Warner Home Video [distributore], 2019
Abstract: Earl Stone è un anziano signore di circa 80 anni rimasto solo e al verde, costretto ad affrontare la chiusura anticipata della sua impresa, quando gli viene offerto un lavoro per cui è richiesta la sola abilità di saper guidare un'auto. Earl è ignaro di aver appena accettato di diventare un corriere della droga di un cartello messicano. Il suo carico diventa di volta in volta più grande essendo bravo nel suo mestiere, per questo motivo gli viene assegnato un assistente. Nonostante i suoi problemi finanziari appartengano al passato, sorge un altro problema: Earl è finito nel radar dell'efficiente agente della DEA Colin Bates. Earl scopre che è seguito da Bates, ma molto probabilmente a tenerlo d'occhio è anche qualcuno del cartello stesso.

Giugiaro : masterpieces of style / text edited by Luciano Greggio
Vimodrone : Nada, 2019
Abstract: A volume devoted to Giugiaro and Italdesign could hardly not be included in the Masterpieces of style series. Giugiaro is one of the most prestigious names in the history of automotive design, synonymous with iconic cars such as the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT and Alfetta, the Volkswagen Golf, the Audi 80, the Fiat Panda, Uno and Punto, the Lancia Delta, Thema and Prisma and the Maserati Bora, Ghibli and Merak, to mention but a few of the most successful designs to carry the Giugiaro name. Born in 1938 at Garessio in the province of Turin, Giugiaro honed his professional skills at Bertone and then at Ghia before setting up on his own when founding Giugiaro Italdesign in 1968. Today the firm is as active as ever and has been responsible for concept cars such as the Caimano, the Iguana and the Canguro, all based on Alfa Romeo mechanicals, and the Asso di Picche and the Quadri on respectively Audi and BMW chassis. This monograph covers this long technical and stylistic history, drawing on a clear, comprehensive text and hundreds of photographs, many of which previously unpublished.
The wizard of Oz / L. Frank Baum ; illustrations by David McKee
Puffin Books, 2019
Penguin modern classics
Abstract: Base ispirata per numerosissime trasposizioni televisive e cinematografiche, Il meraviglioso mago di Oz è uno dei romanzi più famosi per l'infanzia. Dorothy e il suo amato cane Toto vengono depositati nella Terra dell'Est dei Biascichini da un tornado, ma nell'atterraggio schiacciano la Strega Cattiva. La Strega Buona del Nord viene a complimentarsi con Dorothy per quanto avvenuto, donandole le scarpe d'argento della defunta strega. E le spiega, poi, che in tutto il Paese di Oz (così si chiama quel luogo fantastico) esistono quattro streghe, di cui due buone e due cattive. Ma in realtà Dorothy è poco interessata alla storia, vuole solo tornare subito a casa, dagli zii nel Kansas. A quel punto, la Strega Buona le consiglia di recarsi dal Mago di Oz, l'unico che potrà aiutarla. Per trovarlo, le dice, sarà sufficiente seguire la strada di mattoni gialli fino alla Città di Smeraldo. Dopo aver incontrato tre nuovi compagni di viaggio e aver superato con difficoltà numerosi mostri e prove, Dorothy riesce finalmente a raggiungere la Città e, dopo altre avventure, a incontrare il famoso Mago. Alla fine, Dorothy riuscirà a ritornare a casa. Il segreto era sempre stato alla sua portata, l'importante era scoprirlo.
Roomscapes / Renzo Mongiardino ; edited by Francesca Simone
Milano : Officina libraria, 2016
Abstract: “Leaving aside personal facts and clearing the field of memories, the subject of Mongiardino cannot be filed away amid the silence of the historians of architecture and the cult of the disciples. It is a necessary to have at hand the instruments that serve to avoid those superlatives that cover empty criticism. Almost as if it were a master-key, the traditional praise of the artisans who, day after day, followed the career of the architect paved with success can no longer be used. Hand in hand with this success there was an exclusion from history, the like of which has no comparison. At most a mention among fashionable trends of the period. And what is the reason for this? No public buildings? No enlistment in the ranks of Rationalism, and of Postmodernism then? The sin of having worked in the houses of some of most powerful people in the world? Why did this not happen to Tommaso Buzzi? Or why is it not happening to Peter Marino? What a subject for a contemporary Francis Haskell.” Giovanni Agosti

VisioLario del Lago di Como / Daniela Manili Pessina
[Erba] : GWMAX, 2019
Abstract: Non sono la solita guida, forse non sono nemmeno una guida. Quindi come intendo guidarvi? La mia autrice ha raccolto qui, traducendoli in immagini, i suoi percorsi e le sue curiosità sul lago di Como e dintorni. Due anni e mezzo di visite, collaborazioni, incursioni, racconti e sperimentazioni. Molto è passato per la lente della sua macchina fotografica, qualcosa attraverso i cellulari (più d'uno) e le loro app creative. Tanto ha fatto la curiosità, che potrà aiutare anche voi a raccontare il vostro punto di vista su questo mondo splendido che è il Lario. Sì, perché questa non è una galleria di immagini, è uno spunto, una proposta per visitare questi luoghi e, sulla scia di queste visioni, aiutarvi a dar forma alle vostre. Come? Dove? Su un blog, sui vostri social, sulla pagina della vostra attività turistica, su un diario di viaggio scritto a penna con disegni acquerellati, in un ricordo da trattenere, come volete voi... ma se mi (ci) seguirete, ci divertiremo... perché il Lago di Como ha tante storie da raccontare...
London [etc.] : Bantam, 2019
Abstract: 'The police belonged to another world - the world they saw on the television or in the papers. Not theirs.' When two eighteen-year-old girls go missing on their gap year in Thailand, their families are thrust into the international spotlight: desperate, bereft and frantic with worry. Journalist Kate Waters always does everything she can to be first to the story, first with the exclusive, first to discover the truth - and this time is no exception. But she can't help but think of her own son, who she hasn't seen in two years, since he left home to go travelling. This time it's personal. And as the case of the missing girls unfolds, they will all find that even this far away, danger can lie closer to home than you might think . . .
I owe you one / Sophie Kinsella
London : Black swan, 2019
Abstract: Fixie Farr can’t help herself. Straightening a crooked object, removing a barely-there stain, helping out a friend... she just has to put things right. It’s how she got her nickname, after all. So when a handsome stranger in a coffee shop asks her to watch his laptop for a moment, Fixie not only agrees, she ends up saving it from certain disaster. To thank her, the computer’s owner, Sebastian, scribbles her an IOU – but of course, Fixie never intends to call in the favour. That is, until her teenage crush, Ryan, comes back into her life and needs her help. Fixie turns to Seb – but things don’t go according to plan and now Fixie owes Seb: big time. Soon the pair are caught up in a series of IOUs – from small favours to life-changing debts – and Fixie is torn between her past and the future she deserves. Does she have the courage to fix things for herself and fight for the life, and love, she really wants?
A country escape / Katie Fforde
London : Arrow Books, 2019
London [etc.] : Simon & Schuster, 2019
Abstract: Experience the internet's most talked-about book, now a major motion picture, from Anna Todd, the writer Cosmopolitan called \"the biggest literary phenomenon of her generation.\"\n Now a Major Motion Picture on Netflix!\n There was the time before Tessa met Hardin, and then there's everything AFTER... Life will never be the same. #Hessa\n Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. She's got direction, ambition, and a mother who's intent on keeping her that way.\n But she's barely moved into her freshman dorm when she runs into Hardin. With his tousled brown hair, cocky British accent, and tattoos, Hardin is cute and different from what she's used to.\n But he's also rude-to the point of cruelty, even. For all his attitude, Tessa should hate Hardin. And she does-until she finds herself alone with him in his room. Something about his dark mood grabs her, and when they kiss it ignites within her a passion she's never known before.\n He'll call her beautiful, then insist he isn't the one for her and disappear again and again. Despite the reckless way he treats her, Tessa is compelled to dig deeper and find the real Hardin beneath all his lies. He pushes her away again and again, yet every time she pushes back, he only pulls her in deeper.\n Tessa already has the perfect boyfriend. So why is she trying so hard to overcome her own hurt pride and Hardin's prejudice about nice girls like her?\n Unless...could this be love?
