Rolando from the Graveyard

A fairytale atmosphere and a classic taste are

combined with a fresh and original story.

by Fabio Genovesi

Rolando lives in a cemetery, along with his uncle, the guardian. All the

school friends consider Rolando very odd and avoid him, so that he has just

one friend named Cip, a blackbird he can communicate with.

One day the ghosts of two cousins, Marika and Mirko Gini, appear among

the graves. Spiteful and dressed as sailors, they launch a challenge to

Rolando: by midnight of the day after, the day of his tenth birthday,

Rolando will have to climb Mount Puppet, enter the Black Darkness and

find the Red Thing that is the only thing that can save them and will not

make them disappear forever.

Thanks to this unexpected adventure Rolando will finally find the courage

to face the world.

Fabio Genovesi (born in Forte dei Marmi, Lucca, 1974) is an author much loved by the public and critics in Italy. He is the winner

of the Strega Giovani Award in 2015 with Chi manda le onde.

His novels for adults have been translated to many languagues. Rolando del camposanto is his first novel for children.

Just a Word

Inspired by the true story of Roberto Bassi, a Jewishboy

expelled from his primary school in 1938, Matteo

Corradini writes a story that explains children the

nature of the racial laws and the effect they had on

Italy eighty years ago.

Text by Matteo Corradini

Illustrations by Sonia Cucculelli

Roberto is a normal child, or that is what he has always believed.

That is until his classmates start to make him notice that he is

different because he wears glasses. Maybe it would be better if he

changed school, and attended a school exclusively for children

who wear glasses.

A simple but inhuman mechanism, so similar to that on which the

persecution and extermination of the Jews was based, and so

similar to many prejudices still alive in today’s society.

Matteo Corradini is a Jewish studies scholar and writer. He has worked in the educational field of Holocaust Remembrance for

many years, and is on the board of the literary festival ‘Scrittorincittà’ (Writers in the city) in Cuneo. With Rizzoli

he has published the successful book La repubblica delle farfalle, (The Butterfly Republic), set in the Terezin ghetto

and also published in Germany. In 2018 he was awarded the Italian Andersen Prize.

Set in a rural Irish secondary school, this is the hilarious story of a

bunch of pupils who have the genius idea of pooling their savings,

setting up a bank and lending money to their schoolmates at

extortionate interest rates. With sure-fire investments like a dating

app and performing piglets, our lunch-break bankers are on a roll. But

everything that booms must bust, sooner or later, and before long the

whole thing starts to unravel.

Fast-paced and hilarious, this book – with its clever parallel to the

Irish banking crisis – is worth its weight in gold.

by Bettina Storks

A German-French love between the fronts in occupied

Paris and a historian looking for her secret family history

A lucrative inheritance brings historian Marie from Stuttgart and the

French journalist Nicolas together in Paris and confronts them with a

difficult task: they are together to find a long-lost picture and return it to

the possible survivors of a Jewish Parisian family.

Their search takes them not only to the upheavals of World War Two and

the German occupation but also to their families' breathless struggle with

the past. In the jungle of Nazi art theft, Marie now has to face up to a

terrible family secret – and also her feelings for Nicolas.

"A secret love, a breathtaking search for clues through Paris – what a

novel! Bettina Stork absolutely enthraled me! " - Maria Nikolai,

SPIEGEL bestselling author of The Chocolate Villa

When Mia wakes up in a Long Beach hospital with a head wound, she

knows everything there is to know about the Kardashian-Jenner family

but almost nothing about herself. The only items in her possession are her

torn party dress–which immediately begs the question, what kind of girl

parties on a Tuesday night?–a tube of Chanel lipstick, and an iPhone

with a shattered screen. She might not remember where she lives but she

can use her Instagram account to work backward to piece together the

basic facts of her identity. Easy enough, right?

by Franzobel

Three barrels of wine, one barrel of water and a bag of rusks for 147 people

on raft adrift in the ocean: Franzobel’s impressive novel about the cost of

survival.July 18, 1816, eleven o’clock in the morning: Off the West coast of

Africa, the captain of the Argus spots a raft of about twenty metres in

length. What he sees makes his blood run cold: hollow eyes, parched lips,

hair stiff with salt, burned skin full of wounds and blisters … The emaciated,

naked figures are the last 15 of the original 147-man group who have

survived two weeks at sea after the sinking of the frigate Medusa. Since

there were too few seats in the lifeboats, these people were simply set

adrift.A true story – one of the greatest disasters in seafaring history –

forms the backdrop for Franzobel’s epochal novel that hones in on the core

of humanity. What significance do morality and civilisation take on in an

extreme situation where survival is all that matters?

Franzobel born 1967 in Vöcklabruck, is one of Austria’s most popular and polarizing writers. He has received numerous awards,

including the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize in 1995 and the Arthur Schnitzler Prize in 2002. Most recent publications by Zsolnay:

Was die Männer so treiben, wenn die Frauen im Badezimmer sind (2012) and the crime novel Groschens Grab (2015).

The cradle of humanity is in Africa – for a long time this was the

incontrovertible truth. In recent years, however, ever more bones have

been found that chronologically and geographically do not fit into the

picture: archaeologists have found numerous fossils in Europe of early

ancestors of present-day apes from which later the human line of

evolution emerged. The latest of those findings: the Danuvius

guggenmosi, an ape with arms suited to hanging in trees but human-like

legs.

Böhme and her team describe their paradigm-changing findings and

bring to life the fascinating world of our earliest ancestors. A truly

How We Became Humanby Madelaine Böhme

Spectacular finds throw a new light on the history of human evolution

English

In the renowned Nature magazine, Madelaine Böhme and her team just published their research article on this new fossil

ape and how it changes the previously applied models of the evolution of bipedalism. These approximately 11.6-million-

year-old fossils suggest a form of locomotion that might push back the timeline for when walking on two feet evolved

and extend the theory for a common ancestor of great apes and humans.

How can something be correct but at the same time untrue? Can an

object with a limited volume have an infinitely large surface area? What

does a card game reveal about the nature of time? And what do square

numbers have to do with colours?

Rudolf Taschner takes us on a spectacular journey through the world of

mathematics and philosophy, showing that answers to some of the

biggest questions are hidden in numbers. We discover why

Pythagoras already recognised the origins of the cosmos in numbers and

why Nobel Prize winners still puzzle today over how maths is able to

describe nature in such a miraculously accurate way.

The Colours of Square Numbers is a book full of amazing facts that invites

even maths phobics to marvel at the beauty of numbers.

The Beat of Lifeby Dr. Reinhard Friedl

Goldmann · Sept 2019 · 320 pages

The latest findings from the field of neuro-

and psychocardiology

Why the heart is our most important sensory organ

We seem to know everything about the heart – and yet we know nothing.

In all the major human cultures the heart has been seen as the biological

centre for love, sympathy, joy, courage, strength and wisdom. Why is this

so? There are no sensors for measuring this, which is why neuroscientists

today believe that emotions originate in the brain – but just like the

intestines, the heart, too, is a small brain in the body that with a zillion

neurones forms its own networks and not only receives but also sends

signals.

In this truly absorbing book, heart surgeon Dr. Reinhard Friedl closely

examines the latest findings of neuro- and psycho-cardiology that are

revealing ever more secrets about the complex link between the heart,

brain and psyche. He is convinced that the perception of the heart not

only as a pump but also as a source of life leads to better health.

yThis is not Economy!by Christian Felber

The initiator of the Economy for the Common Good now turns

his attention to economics. How can the meteoric rise to fame of

economics be explained? What do economics mean and are they justifiable

as an independent scientific discipline? Controversial topics for the

business world!

“Why did nobody notice it?” Not only Queen Elizabeth wondered aloud

in 2008 why the financial crisis seemed to take economists by surprise.

Economic faculties are buzzing with activity: students all over the

world advocate a pluralist approach to economics. They want to reveal

implicit assumptions, hidden value judgements and blind spots, and embed

the economy in broader contexts again.

After reviewing the breadth of criticism, Felber poses fundamental

questions about the roots of this discipline and where

it started to go wrong. And he makes a concrete and consistent plea for

holistic economic science. The curricula at universities and business

schools can be changed immediately.

Courting The Wild Twinby Martin Shaw

There is an old legend that says we each have a wild, curious twin

that was thrown out the window the night we were born, taking

much of our vitality with them. If there was something we were

meant to do with our few, brief years on Earth, we can be sure that

the wild twin is holding the key.

In Courting the Wild Twin, Dr. Martin Shaw invites us to seek out

our wild twin––a metaphor for the part of ourselves that we

generally shun or ignore to conform to societal norms––to invite

them back into our consciousness, for they have something

important to tell us. He challenges us to examine our broken

relationship with the world, to think boldly, wildly, and in new

ways about ourselves—as individuals and as a collective.

Through the use of scholarship, storytelling, and personal

reflection, Shaw unpacks two ancient European fairy tales that

concern the mysterious wild twin. By reading these tales and

becoming storytellers ourselves, he suggests we can restore our

agency and confront modern challenges with purpose, courage,

and creativity

From What Is to What If

Rights sold to France (Actes Sud)!

by Rob Hopkins

We do have the capability to effect dramatic change, Hopkins argues, but

we’re failing because we’ve largely allowed our most critical tool to languish:

human imagination. As defined by social reformer John Dewey, imagination

is the ability to look at things as if they could be otherwise. The ability, that is,

to ask What if? And if there was ever a time when we needed that ability, it is

now.

Imagination is central to empathy, to creating better lives, to envisioning and

then enacting a positive future. Yet imagination is also demonstrably in

decline at precisely the moment when we need it most.

Why imagination is in decline, and what we must do to revive

and reclaim i? Once we do, there is no end to what we might

accomplish. From What Is to What If is a call to action to reclaim

and unleash our collective imagination, told through the stories of

individuals and communities around the world who are doing it

now, as we speak, and witnessing often rapid and dramatic

change for the better.

The Wisdom of Old Dogs

RIGHTS SOLD TO: Czech Republic (Mlada Fronta),

by Elli H. Radinger

Dogs are magnificent creatures, regardless of their age. Living with

an old dog and looking after it in its final years opens our eyes and

our hearts. Old dogs can teach us a lot – accept every day as a gift;

regret nothing; care for your pack; recognize what really counts;

accept what cannot be changed; forgive while you are still alive; you

are never too old for new tricks; age is a matter of attitude – and a

whole lot more.

Elli H. Radinger, expert on wolves and dogs, tells compelling stories

focussing on examples of trust, patience, mindfulness, gratefulness,

intuition, love, forgiving and wit. They also contain examples of how to

cope with grief and loss. A warm-hearted and amazing compliment for

man’s – and woman’s – best friend.
