Il 3 maggio 1938, nella nuova stazione Ostiense, Mussolini insieme a Vittorio Emanuele III e al ministro degli esteri Ciano attende il convoglio con il quale Hitler e i suoi gerarchi scendono in Italia per una visita che tocchera Roma, Napoli e Firenze. Da poche settimane Hitler ha proclamato l'Anschluss dell'Austria e Mussolini, dopo aver deciso l'uscita dell'Italia dalla Societa delle Nazioni, si appresta a promulgare una legislazione razziale di inaudita durezza. Eppure sono ancora molti a sperare che il delirio di potenza dei due capi di Stato possa fermarsi: tra loro Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli, l'archeologo incaricato di guidare il Fuhrer tra le rovine della citta eterna; Renzo Ravenna, decorato nella Grande guerra, fascista zelante e podesta di Ferrara, che al pari di migliaia di altri ebrei italiani non si da pace per i provvedimenti che lo pongono ai margini della vita civile; Margherita Sarfatti, che sino all'ultimo spera in uno spostamento degli equilibri verso l'asse anglofrancese ma deve cedere il passo alla giovane Claretta Petacci e fuggire; e lo stesso Ciano, distratto da tresche sentimentali e politiche insensate come il piano di conquista dell'Albania, che solo un anno dopo, nel maggio 1939, si trova a siglare insieme a Ribbentrop il Patto d'Acciaio con il quale "l'Italia e la Germania intendono, in mezzo a un mondo inquieto e in dissoluzione, adempiere al loro compito di assicurare le basi della civilta europea". Antonio Scurati ricostruisce con febbrile precisione lo spaventoso delirio di Mussolini, pateticamente illuso di poter influenzare le decisioni del Fuhrer, consapevole dell'impreparazione italiana, piu che mai solo fino alla sera del giugno 1940 in cui dal balcone di Palazzo Venezia proclama "l'ora delle decisioni irrevocabili". In questo nuovo pannello del suo grande progetto letterario e civile, Scurati inquadra il fatale triennio 1938-40, culmine dell'autoinganno dell'Italia fascista, che si piega all'infamia delle leggi razziali e dell'alleanza con la Germania nazista, e ripercorre gli ultimi giorni di un'Europa squassata da atti di barbara prevaricazione e incapace di sottrarsi al maleficio dei totalitarismi: un romanzo tragico e potente, carico di moniti per il nostro futuro.

Shortlisted for the 2025 International Booker Prize Winner of the PEN Translates AwardA monumental first collection in English from Banu Mushtaq: lawyer, activist, champion of Muslim women, and winner of Indias highest literary honors. In the twelve stories of Heart Lamp, Banu Mushtaq exquisitely captures the everyday lives of women and girls in Muslim communities in southern India. Published originally in the Kannada language between 1990 and 2023, praised for their dry and gentle humor, these portraits of family and community tensions testify to Mushtaqs years as a journalist and lawyer, in which she tirelessly championed womens rights and protested all forms of caste and religious oppression. Written in a style at once witty, vivid, colloquial, moving and excoriating, its in her charactersthe sparky children, the audacious grandmothers, the buffoonish maulvis and thug brothers, the oft-hapless husbands, and the mothers above all, surviving their feelings at great costthat Mushtaq emerges as an astonishing writer and observer of human nature, building disconcerting emotional heights out of a rich spoken style. Her opus has garnered both censure from conservative quarters as well Indias most prestigious literary awards; this is a collection sure to be read for years to come.

As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure.' First, read the first two stories that started the Murderbot phenomenon in All Systems Red and Artificial Condition! On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied droid a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as Murderbot. Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is (and to watch its favorite show in its downtime.) But when a neighboring mission goes dark, its up to the scientists and Murderbot to get to the truth. And when Murderbot teams up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you dont want to know what the A stands for), they infiltrate the mining facility where Murderbot went rogue to try to understand its past. What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks
