Inspired by the true story of Lenin’s time in Capri, where the seeds of the revolution were planted. An elderly man from Australia crosses the ocean to collect a package which contains a book about Anto ‘o muto, a fisherman from Capri. On that same island, over eighty years earlier, Le-nin played chess, went fishing, and dined with his lover at the villa of Gustav and Bertha Krupp, the Germanic steel magnate who later financed his Bolshevik revolution. Lenin returned home and gave birth to a nation and a movement; but what happened to Anto? And who wants his sto-ry to be told?

Luce can feel a storm brewing even before the wind blows. Some say the Alpine spirit runs through her veins. The steep and treacherous trails were her playground growing up. There is no reason why she cannot cross the smuggler’s path across the Alpes with her father and broth-er. But then she meets Thomas, a child with no past or place to return to, a kindred spirit.Many years later, the townspeople frantical-ly search for a child who has gone missing on that same mountain. One man amongst them knows the mountain like the back of his hand; but in order to find the boy, he will have to face his worst fears, the cruelty and kindness of the forest.

Now that she has finally, after seventy years, found Ja-cob again, Edna has a confession to make.

It is a long and arduous task to be declared an invalid, especially when it’s not a consequence of work or war, unless you consider family a war-zone. Mental invalidity requires paperwork, pa-tience and persistence, the willingness to line up for hours at offices no one has ever heard of and negotiate intimately with public employees. It is a sort of pastime in Naples, and forty-year-old Max, is making it his raison d’être, when he isn’t passed out drunk, popping pills, robbing people or trolling gay clubs. An ironic, profoundly mov-ing story of self-destruction at the heart of men-tal illness.

Queen in every ounce of her being, Elizabeth II is the most photographed woman in the world; it is no wonder that she is also a fashion icon. The image she projects through photography is the only stage upon which the Queen truly reveals herself, acquiescing to the universal laws of light and the practical needs of portrait artists. This compelling and rigorously researched biogra-phy, based on accounts of photographers, arti-cles from around the world and extensive icono-graphic research, offers an intimate portrait beyond the lens.

Interpol didn’t know they were looking for the deadliest assassin in Europe until Julius Sinanaj was caught and confessed. Captured in Albania in 2018, Sinanaj led a hermit’s existence with not a single traffic ticket or arrest. And yet, the thirty-six-year-old who grew up in the slums of Elbasan and later immigrated with his family to Greece, where he learned explosive making from local anarchists, was a skilled professional, hired by criminals, politicians, common citizens, and the Russian Secret Services, who not only paid him to execute but most likely taught him the trade. He is currently in isolation.
