      • Helvetia Editrice

        Edizioni Helvetia was born in 1972 from an idea of the poet and musician Gianni Spagnol who, after a six-year experience in Zurich as a printer at an important publishing complex, wanted to found in Venice - between Campo San Rocco and Campo San Tomà, not far from the Frari Church - a printing house/publishing house that would promote and stimulate the historical-literary production of the Venetian and Venetian area in detail. Then, with the 90s, the company was moved to the mainland. In 2006, with the acquisition by its granddaughter Daniela Spagnol, the name changed to Helvetia Editrice and the publications continued to explore themes linked to the territory, especially in the "Rosso Veneziano" series - which gathers historical curiosities, with a "popular" and mainly narrative slant - and the "VeneziaeVenetoVivo" series - more linked to pure historical non-fiction and documentation. Enriched with non-fiction and fiction, since 2019 Helvetia has been back in the game with two series that challenge the usual comfort zone by leaving the local territory: "Taccuini d'Autore" (Author's Notebooks), which collects books on the road, texts that travel and travel along the frontier of writing; and "Nuovi Territori" (New Territories), a line created to enhance new authors and unusual topics from experimental themes.

        Die Nibelungen

        by Burkhard Neie, Gretel und Wolfgang Hecht

        Das um 1200 entstandene Nibelungenlied ist das berühmteste und wirkungsmächtigste deutsche Heldenepos. Es gehört zum Kanon der großen Werke der Weltliteratur wie Homers Illias oder Vergils Aeneis, war Vorlage für zahllose literarische, musikalische, bildnerische und filmische Adaptionen. Spätestens seit dem Welterfolg von Tolkiens Der Herr der Ringe hat es auch Eingang gefunden in die moderne Populärkultur. Der Band der Insel-Bücherei bietet die klassische Nacherzählung dieser Heldensage von Gretel und Wolfgang Hecht – farbig illustriert von Burkhard Neie! »Der Falke, den du zähmtest, das ist ein edler Mann. Du wirst ihn gewinnen und bald wieder verlieren.«
