Sex is always violent, as an outpour of a harsh and intemperate life.
"They just do it to keep themselves busy."
A sense of precariousness that clearly intends how all things in life are bound to die, and we can only drink, talk and tell...

The novel deals with the homosexual love of two friends that live together.

...'the geriatric ward', at 11 o'clock in the evening, was completely absorbed in the faint light. Only a small opening of light, escaping from room 18, was still recording the presence of somebody still awake." ...Can't you sleep, Mister Federico?" was heard by the door. The old man, placing the worn-out book of lyrics that he was intent to skim through, slowly directed his head toward that light.
"Who are you?" he asked, trying to focus on the slender figure.
"I am Mark, a volunteer!" a young voice responded.
Hearing that name the eyes of the old man filled up with tears, while his heart could not hold a quiver of joy.

He spent his adolescence and his youth in Trento where, he achieved the diploma of accountant.

IN THE DARK OF SILENCE
by Pio Favia

ISBN 88-7418-174-4
Pages 178
Euro 9,00

If in the light of the morning the vigour of youth moves, if in the shade of the afternoon the uncertainties of maturity sprout, it is at night, "in the dark of the silence", that the pride of old age is found again.

Fifty years of Italian history told through the eyes of a family that transforms itself with the country. The abandonment of the countryside and the arrival in the city; the first conquests; the struggles and the clash between two worlds: the patriarchal agricultural one and the modern world.
The plot is wholly connected with the political choices of the elderly father, member of Gladio and his child member of the Red Brigades.

THE TWILIGHT OF REASON
Lettere
by Gunjaca Drazan

ISBN 88-7418-235-X
Pages 84
Euro 10,00
Collection Letters 34


The drama of two prisoners: a Croatian and a Bosnian. Together in the hope of surviving in prison in front of the jailers that change every day because of the war. So they meet first the Serbs, then the Croatians and finally the Bosnians.

There are not many authors that succeed in the difficult enterprise of picking up in the short circumstances of the invented characters, the plots of the story of people. Fewer are those that are able to do it when the word “people” includes other meanings like “nations”, and especially when it seems that History has been forgotten.

With his The twilight of reason Drazan Gunjaca is able to do all this. He offers the readers and spectators, the wars in ex-Yugoslavia, the possibility to live or to relive the immense tragedy of the tortured Balkan land. And to do it, awful to say, with a smile on his lips.

Drazan Gunjaca was born to Sinj. Yugoslavia, the 7th October 1958. He entered, completed the period of education, in the Yugoslav Marina Soldier where he served for ten years, then he resigned after achieving the Degree in Jurisprudence. Now he lives in Pola where he works as lawyer and writes.

INTIMATE ABECEDARIAN
Lettere

Euro 10,00

Collection Lettere 16

In Basil there is a park called loneliness. This evening, Lady Solitude, an impoverished noblewoman, has come to my place to drink a tea. My untidy house, with my suitcases still opened, never unpacked, ever packed, epic music and bad mood, that bad mood that sometimes is a habit.

“Intimate abecedarian” is an itinerary marked by the dim lights of a lost love. It is a female book that turns the reader into a voyeur. A book on the other half of life where she, between vanity and advertising smiles, races toward a love that needs to be fixed.


The author

Graduated in Foreign Languages and Literatures (English and Russian). “After obtaining my degree, not having a job (I had tried leafleting, cashier and model) I left for a vacation of three weeks in the United States and there I have remained for five years. During this period I worked as teacher, maid, actress, shop assistant and I did a Ph. D. in Theatre Studies at the Tufts University in Boston, specialising in Shakespeare and Fellini. Back in Italy I have started the second cycle of professional attempts working as manager of an art gallery and marketing for goldsmiths). Currently I live in Arezzo (my ninth domicile) and, at the moment, I work for the University in Siena as Didactic Manager. “

A LAND FOR SIRAN
Lettere
by Manuela Avakian

ISBN 88 – 7418 -200 -7
Pages 112
Euro 7,00
Collection Lettere 19


A family runs away from Armenia to Italy, bringing with them the bitterness and the awareness that they will not go back. This way Siran, when she dies, will not have a land where to be buried. Her homeland, Armenia, does not belong to her anymore.

Manuela Avakian offers us story with autobiographic roots of rare intensity and strength.

She observed her father and once more she heard that voice inside of herself: “No, this cannot happen. It doesn't have to happen. It doesn't have to happen.”
She didn't want it , she could not lose him, right now. They still had too many things to say to each other, so many to do together. She would have liked to take a seat close to him, to lay her head on his strong shoulder and to explain: “I thought to hate you when I was a child. I thought that you were bad and mother good. The usual white and black of children. Later, for years, I have reflected, I have tried to recompose. We heard your shouts in the kitchen and in the living room. We heard your accusations and threats, the weak defences of our mother, her tears. But what did happen in your bedroom? Between a birth and an abortion? It was there, most of all that your lives were formed and deformed. And who was, between you two, mostly frustrated and humiliated? Who was guilty?
