Book excerpt: Da quando Cass è quasi annegata (sì, va bene, è veramente annegata, ma non le piace ripensarci), è in grado di attraversare il Velo che separa i vivi dai morti e accedere al mondo degli spiriti. Persino il suo migliore amico è un fantasma. Insomma, la faccenda è già piuttosto strana. Ma sta per farsi ancora più strana. Quando i suoi genitori vengono ingaggiati per girare un programma televisivo dedicato alle città infestate, tutta la famiglia si trasferisce a Edimburgo, in Scozia. Dove cimiteri, castelli e vicoli sotterranei pullulano di fantasmi irrequieti. E quando Cass incontra un'altra ragazza che condivide il suo stesso "dono", si accorge di avere ancora molto da imparare sul Velo, e su se stessa. Dall'autrice bestseller Victoria Schwab, un racconto spaventoso ed elettrizzante, pieno d'azione, che parla di infestazioni, passato, mistero, e del legame tra i veri amici (anche se quell'amico è un fantasma...).

Book Synopsis The Urban Fantastic in Nineteenth-Century European Literature by : Patricia García
Download or read book The Urban Fantastic in Nineteenth-Century European Literature written by Patricia García. This book was released on 2022-01-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Urban Fantastic in Nineteenth-Century European Literature explores transnational perspectives of modern city life in Europe by engaging with the fantastic tropes and metaphors used by writers of short fiction. Focusing on the literary city and literary representations of urban experience throughout the nineteenth century, the works discussed incorporate supernatural occurrences in a European city and the supernatural of these stories stems from and belongs to the city. The argument is structured around three primary themes. “Architectures”, “Encounters” and “Rhythms” make reference to three axes of city life: material space, human encounters, and movement. This thematic approach highlights cultural continuities and thus supports the use of the label of “urban fantastic” within and across the European traditions studied here.

Book Synopsis Florence: Capital of the Kingdom of Italy, 1865-71 by : Monika Poettinger
Download or read book Florence: Capital of the Kingdom of Italy, 1865-71 written by Monika Poettinger. This book was released on 2017-12-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection provides the first comprehensive history of Florence as the mid-19th century capital of the fledgling Italian nation. Covering various aspects of politics, economics, culture and society, this book examines the impact that the short-lived experience of becoming the political and administrative centre of the Kingdom of Italy had on the Tuscan city, both immediately and in the years that followed. It reflects upon the urbanising changes that affected the appearance of the city and the introduction of various economic and cultural innovations. The volume also analyses the crisis caused by the eventual relocation of the capital to Rome and the subsequent bankruptcy of the communality which hampered Florence on the long road to modernity. Florence: Capital of the Kingdom of Italy, 1865-71 is a fascinating study for all students and scholars of modern Italian history.
