      • Martini Maria Cristina | MMC Edizioni

        MMC EDIZIONI is a publishing house based in Rome.Born in 2001 as a generalist, along the time it has specialized almost exclusively in non-fiction, dedicated in particular (but not only) to the city of Rome.The main series, called "A walk with history" offers an alternative vision of the city through the historical reconnaissance and analysis of some of its urban furnishings that are not taken into consideration such as small fountains, clocks, inscriptions, sacred shrines, plaques. This series stands out for a particular graphic style and for the abundance of photographs, specially made for these books.Other series on Rome are instead dedicated to in-depth studies on specific historical and customs themes, or on the mysterious aspects of the city that also reveal its dark side.In the MMC catalogue are other non-fiction books on topics such as Music, Interculture, Anthropology and a series of stories for children encouraging solidarity, non-violence and respect for the environment

        Mein Sardinien

        Eine Liebesgeschichte

        by Hans-Ulrich Treichel

        Er ist unerlöst, der junge Doktorand aus Berlin, und er leidet unter einer Italiensehnsucht, wie sie vor ihm höchstens Goethe kannte. Auf dem Rückweg von der Philharmonie, wo er als Türschließer arbeitet, betritt er aus Neugier eine italienische Bar auf der Schöneberger Hauptstraße, und auch wenn er hier nicht den Süden findet, so findet er doch Cristina, eine Südsardin mit undurchdringlichem Blick. Wochen später wagt er eine schüchterne Liebeserklärung, und zu seiner eigenen Überraschung werden die beiden ein Paar. Als Cristina beschließt, in ihre Heimat Sardinien zurückzukehren, packt auch er seine Koffer, denn eine Trennung kann er sich nicht vorstellen. Und ist es nicht die Erfüllung eines Traums: künftig in zwei Welten zu leben, in Schöneberg und in Italien? Mit wenig Gepäck und vielen Hoffnungen machen sich die beiden auf den Weg ... Ein Reisebuch, ein Stück Autobiografie, vielleicht ein Roman – in jedem Fall aber eine Liebesgeschichte, die so schön und traurig ist wie die Insel selbst. Heiter, ironisch und melancholisch erzählt Hans-Ulrich Treichel von seinem Sardinien und davon, wie es war, der Sehnsucht nach dem Süden zu folgen.

        Spanish cinema 1973–2010

        Auteurism, politics, landscape and memory

        by Edited by Maria M. Delgado and Robin Fiddian

        This collection offers a new lens through which to examine Spain's cinema production following the isolation imposed by the Franco regime. The seventeen key films analysed in the volume span a period of thirty-five years that have been crucial in the development of Spain, Spanish democracy and Spanish cinema. They encompass different genres (horror, thriller, melodrama, social realism, documentary), both popular (Los abrazos rotos/Broken Embraces, Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and more select art house fare (En la ciudad de Sylvia/In the City of Sylvia, El espíritu de la colmena/Spirit of the Beehive) and are made in English (as both first and second language), Basque, Castilian, Catalan and French. Offering an expanded understanding of 'national' cinemas, the volume explores key works by Guillermo del Toro and Lucrecia Martel alongside an examination of the ways in which established auteurs (Almodóvar, José Garci, Carlos Saura) and the younger generations of filmmakers (Cesc Gay, Amenábar, Bollaín) have harnessed cinematic language towards a commentary on the nation-state.

The result is a bold new study of the ways in which film has created new prisms that have determined how Spain is positioned in the global marketplace.

        Crafting design in Italy

        From post-war to postmodernism

        by Catharine Rossi, Christopher Breward, Bill Sherman

        Crafting design in Italy is the first book to examine the role that craft played in post-war Italian design, one of the most celebrated design episodes in the twentieth century. Craft was vital to the development of Italian design, and it has been so far overlooked. This book examines the multiple ways craft shaped Italian design from 1945 to the 1980s in the context of bigger socio-economic, cultural and political change; from post-war reconstruction to the economic 'miracle' of the 1960s, to the rise of the countercultural Radical Design movement and advent of postmodernism. It consists of case studies on design areas including product, furniture, fashion, glass and ceramics to bring to light previously unknown makers and objects as well as re-examine design 'icons' such as Gio Ponti's Superleggera chair and Ettore Sottsass's Memphisware. It also offers a model for analysing design and craft's relationship in other contexts, including today. ;
