Martini Maria Cristina | MMC Edizioni
MMC EDIZIONI is a publishing house based in Rome.Born in 2001 as a generalist, along the time it has specialized almost exclusively in non-fiction, dedicated in particular (but not only) to the city of Rome.The main series, called "A walk with history" offers an alternative vision of the city through the historical reconnaissance and analysis of some of its urban furnishings that are not taken into consideration such as small fountains, clocks, inscriptions, sacred shrines, plaques. This series stands out for a particular graphic style and for the abundance of photographs, specially made for these books.Other series on Rome are instead dedicated to in-depth studies on specific historical and customs themes, or on the mysterious aspects of the city that also reveal its dark side.In the MMC catalogue are other non-fiction books on topics such as Music, Interculture, Anthropology and a series of stories for children encouraging solidarity, non-violence and respect for the environment

May 2021Furniture for an escape in March
by Marana Borges
This unique, powerful, gloomy and yet beautifully written debut novel tells a story of violence. Taking the objects of a house as a starting point – spools, a broken keyboard, hummingbird drinking fountain –, the female narrator reconstructs the architecture full of cracks in her own story: an absent father, a dominating mother and a brother for whom she feels an ambiguous love. In this experimental narrative, the author creates a “poem-novel”, as she calls it, to gradually unravel what cannot be named: a rape once committed at home, covered up and silenced by the mother. The result is a lyrical, sometimes visceral portrait of a childhood caught between love, guilt and shame, full of surprising metaphors, in a language sometimes evocative of Marguerite Duras’ work. With this novel, Marana Borges proves to have a distinguished voice impossible to be mistaken.
