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
View Rights PortalAndro, Top Secret! - Short Circuit on Class Trip (Vol. 3) Update: Class Trip - The Big Unmasking At first glance, Andro Newman seems like a normal boy - but Andro is a robot who is secretly smuggled into a school class as a human boy. Mission: to explore the humans and not to be exposed under any circumstances. An innovative hook meets a scribble-like layout that transports the joke from the text to the picture. The topic of "artificial intelligence" is taken up in a playful way and embedded in a setting at school. What happens in Volume 3:Andro's first challenge for the upcoming class trip is to pack his suitcase. Meanwhile, his "parents" want to take him apart and build a better robot from the parts, since Andro's friendship score is so bad. Andro wants to give up the silly point collecting and enjoy the trip, but technical disturbances and lack of energy supply create new problems. Fellow student Marko is annoying and Julius constantly wants to prove that he is better at everything. Mr. Lembke is still convinced that Andro is a robot and wants to prove his suspicions on the class trip.• Dynamic layout with lots of fonts, vignettes and illustrations• Situational comedy meets a great narrative voice• Special hook: a robot goes undercover at school• The narrative perspective from the point of view of an artificial intelligence offers a lot of humor potential
"I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.
