        VERMOUTH DI TORINO

        dai liquorosi del Settecento il vino profumato che inebria il mondo

        by GIUSI MAINARDI

        Il Vermouth di Torino è per eccellenza un simbolo dell’aperitivo in tutto il mondo. Nasce nel 1700 dalla maestria dei liquoristi torinesi, poi diventa un prodotto esportato ovunque. Immagini indimenticabili sono state create da importanti artisti per la sua réclame. Stupende etichette con la loro speciale grafica ne hanno portato e ne portano il nome in mille Paesi. Questo vino sta vivendo un’epoca di grande apprezzamento, tanto da aver ottenuto dall’Unione Europea il riconoscimento dell’Indicazione Geografica che identifica e sancisce il legame con una terra, una tradizione, un “saper fare” unico. Bevuto puro o in celeberrimi cocktail, il Vermouth di Torino è protagonista di un racconto avvincente che parte dalla mondana “ora del Vermouth” tipica di Torino, per giungere al moderno rito sociale dell’“happy hour".

        The Vermouth of Turin

        The History and Production of Italy’s Most Famous Aromatised Wine

        by Fulvio Piccinino

        The roots of the Vermouth di Torino, which since 22 March 2017 is produced with an indication of protected origin (IGP) denomination, stretch back into the distant past. Over the years, interest in this Italian product of excellence has however been continually renewed, and the in-depth research carried out by the author, searching both through ancient volumes and newly found documents, confirms its value. Through the analysis of historical sources, concerning both liqueur-making and pharmacy, we discover the origins of vermouth and the evolution of aromatised wines. The book also examines raw materials, productive methods and traditional recipes. Curiosities on the various types of vermouth, the historical products, the brands of yesteryear and those that have re-emerged also form a major part of this research. Lastly, the key cocktails made with this fundamental product of traditional drink-mixing are presented, such as the Americano, the Negroni and the Martini Dry Cocktail. From this second book he started to organize the seminar Esperienza Vermouth, which has a double formula: one for amateurs and one for professionals.

        Persistence of Light

        by John Hoyte

        John Hoyte was a student at Cambridge University who realized one day that a grant he might get could provide an interesting and unusual summer vacation. And thus was born the idea of leading an elephant over the Alps via the trails, paths, and mountain passes taken by Hannibal with his army and war elephants in 218 B.C to do battle with the Roman empire.Hoyte's successful mission, with an elephant named Jumbo on loan from the Turin zoo, became a media sensation, leading to international coverage and starting him on the way to a fifty-year career as an inventor and entrepreneur in Silicon Valley.Hoyte's story is a fascinating one, beginning with the six years of his childhood spent in a Japanese internment camp in China during World War II. Throughout the years that followed, he has taken each surprising twist and turn of fate and used it to help build a life infused with purpose, creativity and fulfillment.

        L'inganno della solitudine

        by Simona Marocco

        Tommaso works in a call center and lives the monotony of his everyday life. Rossana is a teacher and has recently lost her controversial love. Valeria is a teenager who had to face the illness of a distracted mother, together with her father, Daniele, who had to carry the weight of responsibilities on his shoulders, annihilating himself. Simona Marocco’s “L’Inganno della Solitudine” (The Deception of Loneliness) highlights the fragility of the human soul, which can be conditioned and malleable, and the author has been able to intertwine the stories of four characters who would have probably remained lost alone in their dark journey of solitude. ---  Tommaso lavora in un call center e vive la monotonia della quotidianità. Rossana fa l’insegnante e ha perso da poco il suo controverso amore. Valeria è un’adolescente che ha dovuto sopportare la malattia di una madre distratta, insieme a suo padre Daniele che si è dovuto caricare sulle spalle il peso delle responsabilità, annientandosi.La vita a volte ci pone davanti a situazioni più grandi di noi. E quando accade, non sempre si ha la forza di affrontare un oggi che può sembrare insormontabile.Eppure le risorse degli esseri umani possono stupire al punto da far superare ciò che, al momento, appare insormontabile.Questa capacità può essere interna come provenire da qualcuno in grado di dirci la cosa giusta al momento giusto; talvolta si palesa un’opportunità che mai avremmo immaginato potesse presentarsi.L’inganno della solitudine evidenzia la fragilità dell’animo umano, condizionabile quanto malleabile, e Simona Marocco è riuscita a intrecciare le vicende di quattro personaggi che probabilmente da soli si sarebbero persi nell’oscuro viaggio della solitudine, ognuno trasportando sulle spalle il peso della propria esistenza, come farebbe un Atlante della sofferenza. Ma si sa: c’è sempre speranza…All'interno, prefazione del dottor Mirko La Bella, psicologo, psicoterapeuta e docente all'Università di Torino.

        Pen of Fire

        John Moncure Daniel, 1825–1865

        by Peter Bridges (author)

        During his short and stormy life, John Moncure Daniel served as U.S. diplomat, journalist, Confederate officer, and conscience of the Confederacy. Strongly pro-slavery, fiercely loyal to the Confederacy, and an outspoken opponent of Jefferson Davis, Daniel made many enemies and fought as many as nine duels. Douglas Southall Freeman called him a strange blend of genius and misanthropy.John Daniel became a leading Richmond editor and a force in the Democratic party by his early twenties. President Franklin Pierce rewarded Daniel for his support in the 1852 campaign by making him American envoy to the kingdom of Sardinia at Turin. There Daniel weathered serious scandals but won high praise for his reporting on Italy’s unification. Daniel returned to Richmond after South Carolina seceded from the Union in December 1860.Resuming editorship of the Examiner, he pushed successfully for the secession of Virginia (leaving the paper twice to serve as a Confederate officer) and attacked Jefferson Davis as timid, incompetent, and corrupt. Wounded in 1864 in a duel with the Treasurer of the Confederacy, Daniel died in Richmond in March 1865, at age 39, just days before Union troops took the city.This fascinating first biography of Daniel incorporates much new research, including correspondence between foreign ministers in Turin and their envoys in Washington and a series of private letters between John Daniel and his great uncle Peter Vivian Daniel of the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Secretary of War John Floyd, and others. Pen of Fire fills a gap in general American historiography, in published works dealing with nineteenth-century American diplomacy, and in studies of the Civil War.

        The Autobiography of Paul Parker

        by Paul Parker with Pat Symes

        Fulham, QPR and Manchester United legend Paul Parker played 19 times for his country, and is widely remembered for that Turin night in 1990 when England so nearly reached the World Cup final. Sir Bobby Robson, then the England manager, described Parker as having a "leap like a salmon and a tackle like a ferret". He won a host of medals with Manchester United as Sir Alex Ferguson built a dynasty on the defence of Bruce, Pallister, Irwin and Parker. Here, he reveals his battle against racism as a talented teenager from east London. Fulham sold him to avoid extinction, QPR hounded him out, and he refused to sign for Arsenal and Tottenham. Parker tells the harrowing tale of his failure to beat injury at United, and writes with perception and insight about his illustrious managers, team-mates and opponents: Ferguson, Gullit, Robson, Beckham, Keane, Cantona, Gascoigne and many more.

        Beyond the White Walls

        by Derek Adie Flower

        A five thousand year old tomb, the gods of Ancient Egypt, unexpected deaths, secret societies and a love story that transcends time are some of the ingredients in this mix of occultism, archaeology, romance and power politics.

Caught in the maelstrom is the owner of the property where it has been found. Helped by the alluring, enigmatic woman he falls in love with, he discovers the reality behind the forces at play, a reality resulting from the machinations of a powerful sect claiming Imhotep as their godhead.

        Monk

        by Chris Parker

        Dan Brown meets Andy McNab in Chris Parker's gripping new thriller series. Early in its history, the Roman Catholic Church established a secret sect of elite spies and killers tasked with protecting the Church, its secrets and its treasures - the Mystiko Kataskopos, shortened to the MK. Members of the MK are, to this day, contemplative monks highly trained in both mystical practises and spying and assassination. They do whatever the Church demands. One such mystical assassin is Raphael Ward and he is secretly charged with tracing the 'real' version of the legendary Turin Shroud, unbeknownst to the world to have been stolen by the Nazis in WWII. As Raphael pursues new leads and deciphers the code that will lead to the Shroud, his mission forces him to engage with the world's darkest, most violent underbelly. As he faces threats to his life - and threatens those of others - he begins to question the very faith that has sustained and driven him for so long. Monk is a compelling, clever and page turning thriller in the best traditions of Dan Brown and Michael Byrnes.

        L'età ridicola

        by Margherita Giacobino

        At almost ninety, the old woman lives alone in Turin with her elderly cat Veleno, a human-friendly feline, and with the memories of a love affair that has ended (her partner, the beloved Nora, died many years ago); she has nothing to do but keep track of the new pains in her bones, listen to the radio news of violence and catastrophes - murders, bombs in airports, droughts - and chat with her friend and coetaneous Malvina, increasingly forgetful and lost on the crowded paths of dementia. The old woman is definitely tired of living, tired 'like an old cemetery earthworm', but luckily in her day there is Gabriela, a lump of hard-working youth from Eastern Europe who has survived a ramshackle family odyssey. And in Gabriela's life, besides a string of terrible relatives trying to extort as much money from her as possible, there is her cousin Dorin, a would-be terrorist actively engaged in terrorising her, Gabriela, who refuses to marry him. In a constant loving dialogue with death (she has even tried to die on command, like the Eastern sages, but failed), the old woman is still full of energy, and takes care of what love remains to her: the decrepit Veleno and her fading friend, who has meanwhile been deported by her snake-like relatives to a rest home. And when dark threats loom over Gabriela, the arthritic old lioness doesn't think twice about unleashing her claws to defend what is dear to her

        Gender and Migration

        A Gender-Sensitive Approach to Migration Dynamics

        by Christiane Timmerman, Maria Lucinda Fonseca, Lore Van Praag, Sónia Pereira (eds)

        The impact of gender on migration processes Considering the dynamic and reciprocal relationship between gender relations and migration, the contributions in this book approach migration dynamics from a gender-sensitive perspective. Bringing together insights from various fields of study, it is demonstrated how processes of social change occur differently in distinct life domains, over time, and across countries and/or regions, influencing the relationship between gender and migration. Detailed analysis by regions, countries, and types of migration reveals a strong variation regarding levels and features of female and male migration. This approach enables us to grasp the distinct ways in which gender roles, perceptions, and relations, each embedded in a particular cultural, geographical, and socioeconomic context, affect migration dynamics. Hence, this volume demonstrates that gender matters at each stage of the migration process. In its entirety, Gender and Migration gives evidence of the unequivocal impact of gender and gendered structures, both at a micro and macro level, upon migrant’s lives and of migration on gender dynamics.

      • THE ROARING YEARS OF ALFONSINA STRADA

        THE ROARING YEARS OF ALFONSINA STRADA

        The story of the only woman who raced the Giro d’Italia alongside men

        by Paolo Facchinetti

        This is the little-known story of Alfonsina Strada, born Alfonsina Morini in Castelfanco Emilia – an extraordinary woman who accomplished extraordinary feats. Alfonsina came from a family of nine siblings who lived in the direst poverty in a small Emilian village. Rebelling against her miserable destiny and the judgment of others, she started riding a bicycle, dreaming to become like Gerbi, Ganna, or Petit Breton. She became “Alfonsina Strada”, queen of the crank, die-hard pistarde, the devil in a skirt. Between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, at a time when women were expected to become wives, mothers and homemakers, Alfonsina boldly hopped on a man’s bike, flying in the nose of conventions and blazing the trail in the history of sports and of women’s rights. She raced in Bologna, Turin, Milan, Paris and even Saint Petersburg, where she was praised by the Tsar Nicholas the II after setting the women's record. Alfonsina was the only woman to race alongside men and to  finish the Giro d’Italia in 1924, completing one stage with a broomstick instead of handlebars. In the wake of her huge popularity, she became a star of the circus and of variety shows before retiring and opening a bicycle repair shop in Milan, whose customers included Coppi and Cavanna. She died in 1950, aged 68, while trying to restart her Guzzi 500.
