«Credo nel diritto internazionale e incoraggio tutti a impegnarsi, con intelligenza e coraggio, affinché l’accordo che gli Stati hanno sottoscritto, e che ora stanno violando in un contesto di impunità senza precedenti, sia difeso e rispettato. Una società che rinuncia al diritto è una società che si condanna alla violenza e al puro arbitrio del più forte. Io, in una società simile, mi rifiuto di vivere, e mi rifiuto di lasciarla in eredità ai miei figli. E ai vostri.» Francesca Albanese Questo libro raccoglie, per la prima volta in traduzione italiana, i sei Rapporti sulla situazione nel territorio palestinese occupato scritti dalla Relatrice speciale Francesca Albanese, preceduti da un ampio saggio introduttivo dell’autrice, che ne racconta la genesi e lo spirito. Un documento imprescindibile per conoscere la realtà in cui il popolo palestinese è costretto a vivere da decenni, l’occupazione e l’apartheid, le violenze che continuamente subisce, culminate nel genocidio in corso. Un contesto che non può essere ignorato se si vogliono capire i fatti e l’attualità, fino al 7 ottobre 2023, ai crimini perpetrati da Hamas e alla risposta inaudita di Israele. Ciò che colpisce di queste pagine e fin dal primo rapporto sul diritto all’autodeterminazione del popolo palestinese, presentato alle Nazioni Unite nell’autunno del 2022, è la straordinaria profondità analitica affiancata a una fortissima passione civile, quella che l’autrice trasmette a chiunque la ascolti. Più le epoche storiche sono buie, più è essenziale avere dei punti di riferimento autorevoli. Francesca Albanese lo è diventata grazie al suo lavoro e al suo instancabile impegno.

From award-winning author R. F. Kuang comes Babel, a thematic response to The Secret History and a tonal retort to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell in this unforgettable work of dark academia that grapples with student revolutions, colonial resistance, and the use of language and translation as the dominating tool of the British empire. Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal. 1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. The unique magic system of silver working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization. For Robin, Oxford is a utopia dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge obeys power, and as a Chinese boy raised in Britain, Robin realizes serving Babel means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress, Robin finds himself caught between Babel and the shadowy Hermes Society, a secret society dedicated to stopping imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide… Can powerful institutions be changed from within, or does revolution always require violence?

Agosto 1922: la Parma popolare dell'Oltretorrente resiste alle squadre fasciste di Italo Balbo. Guido Picelli è alla testa degli Arditi del Popolo nell'ultimo episodio di opposizione rivoluzionaria all'incalzare della dittatura. Picelli e Balbo, il mito socialista e il camerata fascista, rivivono nei ricordi di un vecchio Ardito, il giorno dei funerali di Mario Lupo nel 1972, quando lo scontro fra sinistra extraparlamentare e neofascisti riconduce quasi naturalmente agli avvenimenti di cinquant'anni prima. Fra memoria storica e invenzione narrativa, Pino Cacucci evoca quelle giornate di lotta e i suoi protagonisti.

From eldest daughter Shari Franke, the shocking true story behind the viral 8 Passengers family vlog and the hidden abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother, and how, in the face of unimaginable pain, she found freedom and healing. Shari Franke’s childhood was a constant battle for survival. Her mother, Ruby Franke, enforced a severe moral code while maintaining a façade of a picture-perfect family for their wildly popular YouTube channel 8 Passengers, which documented the day-to-day life of raising six children for a staggering 2.5 million subscribers. But a darker truth lurked beneath the surface—Ruby’s wholesome online persona masked a more tyrannical parenting style than anyone could have imagined. As the family’s YouTube notoriety grew, so too did Ruby’s delusions of righteousness. Fueled by the sadistic influence of relationship coach Jodi Hildebrandt, together they implemented an inhumane and merciless disciplinary regime. Ruby and Jodi were arrested in Utah in 2023 on multiple charges of aggravated child abuse. On that fateful day, Shari shared a photo online of a police car outside their home. Her caption had one word: “Finally.” For the first time, Shari will reveal the disturbing truth behind 8 Passengers and her family’s devastating involvement with Jodi Hildebrandt’s cultish life coaching program, “ConneXions.” No stone is left unturned as Shari exposes the perils of influencer culture and shares for the first time her battle for truth and survival in the face of her mother’s cruelty.
