The enchanted island of Corfu was home to Gerald Durrell and his family for five years before the Second World War. For the passionate young zoologist, Corfu was a natural paradise, teeming with strange birds and beasts that he could collect watch and care for.

In prose as crystalline as his view to the Pyrenees on a clear day, Allman animates Lauzerte and its surrounding communities—Cahors, Moissac, Montauban—all ever in thrall to the magnetic impulse of Paris. Witness to so many dramas over the centuries, his house comes alive as a historical protagonist in its own right, from its wine-cellar cave to the roof where he wages futile battle with pigeons, to the life lessons it conveys. “The onward march of history, my House keeps demonstrating, never takes a rest,” he observes, pulling us vividly into his world.

Alla scoperta dell’anima oscura, nascosta, sotterranea, esoterica e criminale della città. È antico il fascino di Bologna. Come un’ombra, percorre da secoli i vicoli del centro storico, i sotterranei e i portici che hanno reso celebre nel mondo la città. Tutti conoscono la Bologna “dotta”, “grassa” e “turrita”, ma solo in pochi conoscono i segreti, gli enigmi e i gialli del capoluogo emiliano. Come la necropoli dei vampiri emersa dalle viscere della terra durante i recenti scavi per l’alta velocità, o il codice mai decifrato inciso sulla Pietra di Bologna.
