'Mi chiamo Flor, ho undici anni, e sono qui perché penso che mio padre ammazzerà mia madre'. Gelsomina Settembre detta Mina, assistente sociale di un consultorio sottofinanziato nei Quartieri Spagnoli di Napoli, è costretta a occuparsi di casi senza giustizia. La affiancano alcuni tipi caratteristici con cui forma un improvvisato, e un po' buffo, gruppo di intervento in ambienti dominati da regole diverse dall'ordine ufficiale. Domenico Gammardella 'chiamami Mimmo', bello come Robert Redford, con un fascino del tutto involontario e una buona volontà spesso frustrata; 'Rudy' Trapanese, il portiere dello stabile che si sente irresistibile e quando parla sembra rivolgersi con lo sguardo solo alle belle forme di Mina; e, più di lato, il magistrato De Carolis, antipatico presuntuoso ma quello che alla fine prova a conciliare le leggi con la giustizia. Vengono trascinati in due corse contro il tempo più o meno parallele. Ma di una sola di esse sono consapevoli. Mentre Mina, a cui non mancano i problemi personali, si dedica a una rischiosa avventura per salvare due vite, un vendicatore, che segue uno schema incomprensibile, stringe intorno a lei una spirale di sangue. La causa è qualcosa di sepolto nel passato remoto. Il magistrato De Carolis deve capire tutto prima che arrivi l'ultima delle dodici rose rosse che, un giorno dopo l'altro, uno sconosciuto invia. Mina Settembre e gli altri sono figure che Maurizio de Giovanni ha già messo alla prova in un paio di racconti. In "Dodici rose a Settembre" compaiono per la prima volta in un romanzo. Sono maschere farsesche sullo sfondo chiassoso di una città amara e stanca di tragedie. Un mondo di fatica del vivere che de Giovanni riesce a far immaginare, oltre all'intreccio delle storie, già solo con il linguaggio parlato dai vari personaggi di ogni strato sociale: ironico, idiomatico, paradossale, immaginoso.

A #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2025 NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2025 IN THE Financial Times, Economist, New Statesman, Bloomberg, TIME, Washington Post and The New York Times 'Superb... brings the great drama to life' Martin Wolf, Financial Times A spellbinding narrative of the most infamous stock market crash in history one with ripple effects that still shape our society today In 1929, the world watched in shock as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market went into a freefall, wiping out fortunes and igniting a depression that would reshape a generation. But behind the flashing ticker tapes and panicked traders, another drama unfolded-one of visionaries and fraudsters, titans and dreamers, euphoria and ruin. With unparalleled access to historical records and newly uncovered documents, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Ross Sorkin takes readers inside the chaos of the crash, behind the scenes of a raging battle between Wall Street and Washington and the larger-than-life characters whose ambition and naivety in an endless boom led to wreckage. The dizzying highs and brutal lows of this era eerily mirror today's world-where markets soar, political tensions mount, and the fight over financial influence plays out once again. This is not just a story about money. 1929 is a tale of power, psychology, and the seductive illusion that "this time is different." It's about disregarded alarm bells, financiers who fell from grace, and skeptics who saw the crash coming-only to be dismissed until it was too late. Hailed as a landmark book, Too Big to Fail reimagined how financial crises are told. Now, with 1929, Sorkin delivers an immersive, electrifying account of the most pivotal market collapse of all time-with lessons that remain as urgent as ever. More than just a history, 1929 is a crucial blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation, the forces that drive financial upheaval, and the warning signs we ignore at our peril. *The Atlantic Monthly

Siamo in un piccolo borgo siciliano che, dall'alto di una collina, domina il mare: una comunità di cinquemila anime che si conoscono tutte per nome. Su un lato della piazza sorge la tabaccheria, un luogo magico dove si possono trovare, oltre alle sigarette, anche dolciumi e spezie, governato con amore da Costanzo e da sua moglie Agata. Sull'altro lato si affaccia il municipio, amministrato con altrettanto amore (ma per il denaro) dal sindaco "Occhi Janchi" e dalla sua cricca di "anime nere", invischiata in diversi affari sporchi. Attorno a questi due poli brulica la vita del paese, un angolo di paradiso deturpato negli anni Cinquanta dalla costruzione di una grossa raffineria di petrolio.Quando Costanzo muore all'improvviso, Agata, che è una delle donne più belle e desiderate del paese, viene presa di mira dalla cosca di Occhi Janchi, che, oltre a "fottere" lei, vuole fotterle la Saracina, il rigoglioso terreno coltivato ad aranci e limoni che è stato il vanto del marito. Ma la Tabbacchera non ha intenzione di stare a guardare. Attorno a lei si raccoglie, prima timida poi sempre più sfrontata, una serie di alleati: il professor Scianna, che in segreto scrive poesie e cova un sentimento proibito per la figlia di un amico, l'erborista Lisabetta, capace di preparare pietanze miracolose per la pancia e per l'anima, Lucietta detta "la piangimorti", una zitella solitaria che nasconde risorse insospettate, e poi Roberto, Violante, don Bruno... una compagnia variopinta e ribelle di "anime rosse" che decide di sfidare il potere costituito a colpi di poesia, di gesti gentili e di buon cibo: in una parola, di amurusanze. Tra una tavolata imbandita con polpettine e frittelle afrodisiache e una dichiarazione d'amore capace di cambiare una fede, le sorti dei personaggi s'intrecciano sempre più, in un crescendo narrativo che corre impetuoso verso la deflagrazione...Tea Ranno ha scritto il suo romanzo più solare, magico e sensuale: ha dato vita a una Dona Flor siciliana e l'ha calata in un'atmosfera fiabesca alla Chocolat; allo stesso tempo, con l'aiuto di un pizzico di realismo magico, ha raccontato una parabola attualissima di coraggio ed emancipazione, di una donna e di una comunità.contributori LE Fabio Midolo

Effy learned that when she defeated the Fairy King. Even though she may never know exactly what happened at Hiraeth, she is free of her nightmares and is able to pen a thesis with Preston on the beloved national fairytale Angharad. She has finally earned a spot at the literature college, making her the first woman in history to enrol. But some dreams are dangerous, especially when they come true. The entire university - and soon the entire nation - is waiting for her to fail. With the Fairy King defeated and Myrddin's legacy exposed, Effy can no longer escape into fantasy. Who is she without her stories? With Effy under threat, Preston is surprised to discover a rage simmering inside him, ringing in his ears like bells. He begins to dream of a palace under the sea, a world where he is king - visions that start to follow him even in waking.
