View Rights PortalMMC 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

»Voller Intrigen, Liebe, Leidenschaft, voller Neid und Bosheit und Sehnsucht ... Großartig!« Elke Heidenreich Ins Dunkel ist Screwball-Komödie und Melodram, Tragödie und Romanze in einem: ein Roman als Film, glamourös und hochpolitisch. In raffinierten Rückblenden, mit Tempo und Timing verhandelt er das Verhältnis von Literatur, Film und Macht in Zeiten inszenierter Wirklichkeiten. Eine Liebeserklärung an das Kino Wir sitzen im Dunkeln. Auf der Leinwand treffen sich Greta Garbo und Erika Mann 1969 in den Schweizer Bergen und erinnern sich. Wie war das noch mit Marlene Dietrich und der gemeinsamen Geliebten? Als der Film den Nerv der Zeit traf und die Deutschen Hollywood und ganz Amerika durcheinanderwirbelten. Mit Erika Manns antifaschistischem Kabarett Die Pfeffermühle, während die ganze Welt ins Dunkel glitt? Mit der Zensur nach 1933 auch in den USA? Ach – und wie gut kannten sich eigentlich Greta Garbo und Marlene Dietrich? Wer traute sich mehr auf der Leinwand? Und im Leben?
