"Abandon all hope you who enter here." ( "Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch’intrate.") Dante’s Hell is one of the most remarkable visions in Western literature. An allegory for his and future ages, it is, at the same time, an account of terrifying realism. Passing under a lintel emblazoned with these frightening words, the poet is led down into the depths by Virgil and shown those doomed to suffer eternal torment for vices exhibited and sins committed on earth.

Naples '44 is an unflinching autobiographical account of a year in Naples after the armistice and Allied landings in Sorrento in 1943. Working as a British counterintelligence officer under the Allied occupation, Lewis documents the rich pageant of life in the city and its surrounding areas. There is suffering and squalor: Criminal gangs are on the rise, along with typhus and black market commerce, and the female population is forced into part-time prostitution. But there is farce and humor, too, witnessed in the Roman uncle paid handsomely simply to appear at funerals.

"Il Muto di Gallura" è un personaggio a dir poco leggendario, probabilmente il più famoso dei "banditi vendicatori" dell'Ottocento sardo. Sebastiano Tansu Addis, questo il vero nome del "muto", era popolarissimo già in vita e venne reso immortale dal romanzo storico di Enrico Costa, un bestseller di fine '800. Una storia pazzesca, quella del Muto, tanto che fece sorgere vere e proprie leggende. Oggi, finalmente, questa incredibile vicenda è diventata anche un audiolibro, grazie all'adattamento e alla messa in voce magistrale di Gaetano Marino.

Quando Mussolini tiene il primo discorso alla Camera da Capo del Consiglio, dopo la Marcia su Roma (è il 16 novembre 1922, la Marcia ha avuto luogo tra il 28 e il 31 del mese precedente), Emilio Lussu, deputato del Partito Sardo d'Azione, è in ospedale a Cagliari, vittima di un'aggressione fascista, ma riesce ugualmente a fornirne un resoconto illuminante. Mussolini può ormai giocare coi parlamentari come il gatto con il topo: li può calpestare con una sola zampata, e lo dice loro, ma può anche non farlo, se essi saranno buoni. Molti in effetti lo saranno.

The Borgia family have become a byword for evil. Corruption, incest, ruthless megalomania, avarice, and vicious cruelty - all have been associated with their name. And yet, paradoxically, this family lived when the Renaissance was coming into its full flowering in Italy. Examples of infamy flourished alongside some of the finest art produced in western history.

Tre papi attraversano la vita di san Francesco contrastandone il dirompente potere spirituale e il desiderio innovatore: Innocenzo III, Onorio III e Gregorio IX. Il primo di loro, Innocenzo III, nel 1209 alla proposta di vita cristiana portata da Francesco dà una risposta estremamente cauta e, secondo alcune fonti, sprezzante e negativa. Non è l'unico rifiuto. Più volte Francesco cerca di far approvare una regola per il proprio ordine e più volte gli viene negato.
