      • 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

        Reading Robin Hood

        Reading Robin Hood

        Content, form and reception in the outlaw myth

        by Anke Bernau, Stephen Knight

        Reading Robin Hood explores and explains stories about the mythic outlaw, who from the Middle Ages to the present stands up for the values of natural law and true justice. This analysis of the whole sequence of Robin Hood adventures begins with the medieval tradition, from early poems into the long-surviving sung ballads, and goes on to look at two variant Robins: the Scottish version, here named Rabbie Hood, and gentrified Robin, the exiled Earl of Huntington, now partnered by Lady Marian. The nineteenth century re-imagined medieval Robin as modern, a lover of nature, Marian, England and the rights of the ordinary man. In novels and especially films he has developed into an international figure of freedom, while Marian's role has grown in a modern feminist context. Even to this day, the Robin Hood myth continues to reproduce itself, constantly discovering new forms and new meanings.

        Sacred distance

        Representing the Virgin Mary in Italian altarpieces, c.1300–c.1630

        by Rosemary Muir Wright

        This fascinating and groundbreaking book explores the way in which the canonical image of the Virgin Mary developed out of the Italian Renaissance. Faced with the naturalistic effects of pictorial space and light, the Church had to ensure the distinction of Mary as being both the human mother of Christ and a doctrinal symbol in her own right. The intentions of patrons, artistic practice and operating circumstances all contributed to mark out this duality, and create the 'sacred distance' of Mary from the rest of humankind. Marian iconography has its own history, and the introduction discusses the visual tradition of the middle ages which shaped Marian iconography at the beginning of the 14th century. The book then deals with the doctrinal issues relating to the Virgin: Mary as Theotokos, Mary Annunciate, Mary as Queen of Heaven and Mary as the Immaculate Conception. A concluding chapter discusses the power of this image as a visual symbol. The book therefore discusses the various possible interpretations of Marian iconography in an attempt to understand an image, and the dangers of making assumptions about artistic intention and audience response. It should be of interest to anyone who is curious about the life of an image and its inherent power.

        Stadt aus Trug und Schatten

        by Mechthild Gläser

        City of Betrayals and Shadows (Eisenheim Dilogy, Vol. 1)Flora is devastated when she learns that her soul has been living a double life at night time for quite a while, in a secret town called Eisenheim. From now on, she will never be able to sleep again without her mind wandering in this drab shadow world. As if that were not enough, her soul has apparently stolen the white lion, a powerful alchemical stone, which the rulers of the shadow world are not alone in coveting. In the real world, Flora is now no longer secure from the peril in Eisenheim, and one thing is clear: she can’t trust anyone, not even Marian, who suddenly starts appearing in both worlds, and whose kisses seem to have rather more familiar taste than she likes. As a princess in this shadowy world, Flora is deeply concerned. Is she responsible for the destruction of the city? Eisenheim’s stone of destiny lies hidden deep within the ground and it is calling to her; Flora soon realises that her fate and that of the stone are linked; it is only when she has solved the mystery of their common origin that she will be able to save Eisenheim and rejoin Marian, the boy she loves.Sparkling with originality, excitement and tempo - with a series of astonishing twists and a brilliant eye for detail, Mechthild Gläser tells her tale about Flora and Marian wonderfully entertaining, a complex dilogy that is filled with unforgettable figures. An entrancing love story that takes readers into an original fantasy world, inviting them to dream.• SERAPH Fantasy Award: Best Debut• Refreshing genre mix of urban fantasy, Steampunk elements and romantic comedy• Published in 14 languages: Internationally successful author

        The Go-Between

        Roman

        by L. P. Hartley, Maria Wolff

        Während der Sommerferien auf dem Landgut der Eltern seines Schulfreundes wird der dreizehnjährige Leo zum Überbringer heimlicher Liebesbotschaften zwischen Ted, dem Pächter und Marian, der schönen Tochter des Schloßherrn, deren Verlobung mit Lord Trimingham kurz bevorsteht. Doch gegen seinen Willen zieht es Leo immer tiefer in den Strudel des gefährlichen Spiels von Verlangen und Verrat, von versprochener und verbotener Liebe und schließlich steht er vor der ersten großen Gewissensentscheidung seines jungen Lebens. The Go-Between ist ein raffiniert konstruierter Roman über die Strapazen des Erwachsenwerdens und die Gefühlsverwirrungen der Jugend, eine fein beobachtete Gesellschaftsanalyse und eine wunderbare Liebesgeschichte.

        Private Regierung

        Wie Arbeitgeber über unser Leben herrschen (und warum wir nicht darüber reden)

        by Elizabeth Anderson, Karin Wördemann

        Der freie Markt war einmal ein progressives Projekt, das zur Befreiung der Lohnabhängigen führen sollte – von obrigkeitsstaatlichen Strukturen und von der Gängelung durch die Arbeitgeber. Elizabeth Anderson zeigt, was aus dieser schönen Idee geworden ist: reine Ideologie in den Händen mächtiger ökonomischer Akteure, die sich wenig um die Freiheit und die Rechte von Arbeitnehmern scheren. Sie arbeitet heraus, wie sich der positive Zusammenhang zwischen freiem Markt und freiem Arbeiter aufgelöst hat, und bestimmt die gegenwärtige Beziehung zwischen Arbeitgebern und Arbeitnehmern neu: als eine von quasi autokratisch herrschenden, privaten Regierungen und den von ihnen Regierten, die in vielerlei Hinsicht das Nachsehen haben. Eine beeindruckende Dekonstruktion eines Mythos des Marktdenkens.

        Language and imagination in the Gawain poems

        by J. Anderson

        This major new literary study offers a fresh view of the significance of the famous group of fourteenth-century poems, 'Pearl', 'Cleanness', 'Patience' and 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'. It is a comprehensive study which puts the poems themselves firmly at its centre, though it is always alert to relevant aspects of their literary and cultural context. John Anderson builds his discussions of the poems' ideas on an examination of the anonymous poet's superb Shakespeare-like language. He finds that the great fourteenth-century struggle, between religious and secular forces for control of men's minds, underlies all the poems. This title is the first in the new Manchester Medieval Literature series, which makes readability a priority. Accordingly, despite its wide range of reference and the radicalism of some of its leading ideas, this book is written in a jargon-free style designed to appeal to specialist, non-specialist and student readers alike.

        Das italienische Desaster

        Das italienische Desaster

        by Perry Anderson

        Auch im sechsten Jahr der großen Krise ist Italien noch nicht wieder auf die Beine gekommen. Die Kennzahlen sind alarmierend: 44 Prozent der Italiener unter 25 Jahren haben keine Arbeit; nach 2012 und 2013 schrumpft die italienische Wirtschaft 2014 erneut. Die ökonomische fällt mit einer fundamentalen Krise der staatlichen Institutionen zusammen. Das Vertrauen in Politik und Parteien ist auf einem historischen Tiefstand, die Protestbewegung des Kabarettisten Beppe Grillo wurde bei den Parlamentswahlen zur zweitstärksten Partei; Matteo Renzi, von den Medien als Hoffnungsträger gefeiert, kungelt mit seinem skandalumwitterten Vorgänger Berlusconi und feiert den ehemaligen englischen Premierminister Tony Blair als Vorbild, obwohl dieser in seiner Heimat längst zur persona non grata geworden ist. In seinem vielbeachteten Essay präsentiert der Historiker Perry Anderson eine Chronologie des italienischen Desasters. Italien betrachtet er dabei nicht als »Anomalie innerhalb Europas, sondern als eine Art Konzentrat« der Probleme eines Kontinents, der zunehmend von Entdemokratisierung, Korruption und Wachstumsschwäche gekennzeichnet ist.

        Lebensberichte berühmter Sängerinnen. Von Elisabeth Mara bis Maria Callas

        by Monica Steegmann, Eva Rieger, Eva Rieger, Monica Steegmann

        Erst müssen sie als Carmen, Tosca, Mélisande oder Brünnhilde sterben, dann werden sie bejubelt und gefeiert. Aber nicht nur auf der Bühne ist das Los der Operndiven und Primadonnen unerbittlich. Oft standen sie unter dem Einfluß ehrgeiziger Mütter, waren den Machtspielen von Direktoren und Intendanten ausgeliefert, den Eifersuchtsattacken von Kollegen und Ehemännern und abhängig von der Gunst des Publikums. Diese in der Öffentlichkeit stehenden erfolgreichen, starken Frauen waren für das Selbstbewußtsein der Männer eine schwere Prüfung. Die sechs für diesen Band ausgewählten autobiographischen Texte von Gertrud Elisabeth Mara, Agnese Schebest, Mary Garden, Kirsten Flagstad, Marian Anderson und Maria Callas – drei davon erstmals in deutscher Sprache – schildern nicht nur wechselvolle Schicksale großer Künstlerinnen, sondern geben auch ein Bild der Zeit, in der sie lebten.
