Fall of giants / Ken Follett

: Dutton, 2010

Abstract: Follett takes you to a time long past with brio and razor-sharp storytelling. An epic tale in which you will lose yourself." -The Denver Post on World Without End Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical sweep, beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics as "well-researched, beautifully detailed [with] a terrifically compelling plot" (The Washington Post) and "wonderful history wrapped around a gripping story" (St. Louis Post- Dispatch) Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families-American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh-as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage. Thirteen-year-old Billy Williams enters a man's world in the Welsh mining pits...Gus Dewar, an American law student rejected in love, finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson's White House...two orphaned Russian brothers, Grigori and Lev Peshkov, embark on radically different paths half a world apart when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution...Billy's sister, Ethel, a housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts, takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German embassy in London... These characters and many others find their lives inextricably entangled as, in a saga of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, Fall of Giants moves seamlessly from Washington to St. Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty. As always with Ken Follett, the historical background is brilliantly researched and rendered, the action fast-moving, the characters rich in nuance and emotion. It is destined to be a new classic. In future volumes of The Century Trilogy, subsequent generations of the same families will travel through the great events of the rest of the twentieth century, changing themselves-and the century itself. With passion and the hand of a master, Follett brings us into a world we thought we knew, but now will never seem the same again.

Novellone, Alessandra - Zuffi, Stefano <1961->

Milano : una metropoli d'arte = a city of art / Alessandra Novellone, Stefano Zuffi ; translated from the italian by Natalie Danford

[Schio] : Sassi, 2010

Abstract: Milano, la grande metropoli dell'Italia settentrionale, nota per la moda, il design, la finanza, è in realtà un'antica città di fondazione celtica, la cui storia millenaria, spesso sottaciuta, nasconde un inesauribile patrimonio storico-artistico. Tutti sanno che a Milano si trovano alcuni dei monumenti e delle opere d'arte più noti e amati, dal Duomo alla Scala, dal Cenacolo di Leonardo al Castello Sforzesco, dalle chiese romaniche all'eccezionale patrimonio di capolavori distribuiti nei musei, dai molti edifici rinascimentali alle meraviglie del liberty, fino all'architettura contemporanea. Eppure Milano, il cui passato viene quasi adombrato dal presente, non viene di solito considerata una vera e propria città d'arte. La presenza di una fittissima rete di monumenti e musei, soprattutto nel centro storico, sembra quasi un elemento aggiunto, certo gradevole, ma in qualche modo non primario per la vita e l'attività della città . Questo volume intende in qualche modo scoprire la grande ricchezza e l'incredibile varietà dell'arte milanese, i tesori custoditi nelle chiese e in alcuni musei. Le immagini di questo libro rivelano una città da scoprire, dove accanto ai celebri capolavori si incontrano meraviglie segrete e angoli sconosciuti.

Iela Mari : il mondo attraverso una lente = the world through a lens / a cura di Hamelin

Milano : Babalibri, 2010

Abstract: A cinquant'anni di distanza dall'uscita del suo primo libro, lela Mari ci consegna intatto un tesoro fatto di opere compiute e di senso. Per chiunque desideri compiere giochi di osservazione e di logica, disegnare, fermarsi a guardare e a pensare, saperne di più sul regno animale e vegetale, avvicinarsi in modo non scolastico alla botanica, alla fisica, alla filosofia, alla fotografia. Siamo lontanissimi dalla volgarità e dalla giungla mediatica cui la contemporaneità ci ha abituati. Eppure lela Mari non racconta un Eden perduto. Respira. La speranza di uno sguardo chiaro va ricercata dentro le piccole cose, la natura, gli animali, i fili d'erba, il silenzio, l'aria.

The dog that saved my life : incredible true stories of canine loyalty beyond all bounds / by Isabel George

London : HarperElement, 2010

Abstract: Five incredible true stories of canine bravery in wartime. For as long as dogs have lived alongside man, they have saved their lives in wartime with their bravery, loyalty and companionship. From the WWII dog that was adopted by the Royal Navy as a mascot, torpedoed, shot at and registered as a prisoner of war, to the more recent heroics of explosives dog, Bonnie, in Afghanistan and Iraq where she saved hundreds of military and civilian lives, this is a collection of the most incredible and heartwarming accounts from around the world. Capturing the fear, uncertainly, determination and undying devotion of these amazing dogs and the young soldiers, sailors and airmen they befriended, these are truly inspirational tales of loyalty and companionship beyond all boundaries
