Rights List Finale Frankfurt 2017 GRANDI & ASSOCIATI TRANSLATION RIGHTS 2017 Frankfurter Buchmesse Hall 6.3 Table 2M FICTION Edoardo Albinati, UN ADULTERIO Rizzoli, June 2017, pp 126 Three editions in one week Erri and Clementina flee their humdrum lives to spend a weekend together on an island after falling for each other virtually at first sight. They lie about it to their respective spouses, and perhaps even to themselves. The risk they are running is huge but they’re driven by an uncontrollable passion. It’s a hurdle they need to overcome. However, Albinati does not tell the whole story of the novel’s two main characters, as they yearn to escape yet are imprisoned on the island. Only a few episodes of their adventure are revealed to the reader. Both stirring and sensuous, the book is also straightforward and brutally honest, yet the story is built on lies. There’s something for everyone in these compelling pages, whether you’ve had an affair, or you’d never dream of having one, or, deep down, you would just love to have one. Edoardo Albinati (Rome, 1956) has taught the inmates of Rome’s Rebibbia penitentiary for over twenty years, an experience he describes in his memoir Maggio selvaggio. He has written film scripts for Italian directors Matteo Garrone and Marco Bellocchio. He wrote Vita e morte di un ingegnere. In 2016 he wrote La Scuola Cattolica and won the Strega Book Prize (English translation of Chapter 1 is available). Rights sold to Atlas Contact (Holland), Lumen (Spain), Berlin Verlag (Germany), Farrar Straus & Giroux (USA), Picador (UK).

Movie - Kavac Film Rights sold: Pataki (Greece) Federico Baccomo, ANNA STA MENTENDO Giunti, April 2017, pp. 280 A superbly crafted novel of outstanding originality Riccardo and Anna are co-workers who have recently started a relationship. While chatting on-line one day, a strange message appears on Riccardo’s mobile: it’s a new App sporting the peculiar name of WhatsTrue. Weird things begin to happen: more and more of Anna’s text messages arrive with a sinister warning: “Anna is lying…”. Is it a joke? Some kind of malicious advertising ploy? A hacker just having fun or… software that can actually detect when people are lying on their phones? Federico Baccomo cleverly and entertainingly creates a disturbing yet fascinating world running the most serious risk of all: that of obliterating what makes human beings unique: our flaws. Flaws that can destroy everything, including relationships. Federico Baccomo was born in Milan in 1978. He gave up a career as a lawyer to become a full-time writer. His best sellers include Studio illegale (2009), La gente che sta bene (2011) and Peep Show (2014), all published by Marsilio. The first two novels have been turned into films of the same name. In 2015, Giunti published Woody, a story that had Italian readers in stitches yet also tugged at their heart-strings. Rights sold: Metropolis Media Group (Hungary) Sandrone Dazieri, L’ANGELO Mondadori, November 2016, pp. 456 Vol#2 New thriller featuring irresistible characters from Dazieri’s previous novel Uccidi il padre An attack on a high-speed train between Milan and Rome is initially attributed to Islamic extremists. Assistant Police Commissioner Colomba Caselli and Dante Torre uncover a mysterious woman pulling the terrorists’ strings. While still a child, this mysterious woman had survived the “attention” of the KGB’s Fifth Chief Directorate, in Vilnius. She insists on being called Giltine, the same name as the Lithuanian Goddess of Death; she suffers from Cotard’s Syndrome (she is convinced that she is already dead) and has moved to Venice to wreak her revenge. Meanwhile, Colomba, having returned to active duty, struggles to win back her colleagues’ trust and gets caught up in a steamy love affair with one of her men. Dante, on the other hand, is on the trail of his mysterious brother. Sandrone Dazieri is one of the foremost names in Italian noir fiction.

Un’indagine del Commissario Vivacqua Mondadori, May 2017, pp. 310 The eponymous chief of police Superintendent Vivacqua heads the Turin Criminal Investigations Unit. He is your average southern Italian: gruff but soft-hearted, hot-tempered and sometimes caustic, and somewhat prone to bending the rules and disregarding red tape. In this story, Superintendent Vivacqua grapples with four seemingly unrelated crimes. He comes perilously close to being fired, is obliged to give into an ultimatum, and would rather lose his life than his face. Carlo Fausto De Filippis was born in Turin in 1957. He has a background in marketing and as a management consultant. He is an expert in communication and training and writes police thrillers. His crime novel series features Police Commissioner Salvatore Vivacqua. The first novel in the series, Le molliche del commissario (The police chief’s crumbs), sold 20 thousand copies simply by word of mouth.

Betta Bennet’s does when the glossy fashion mag she’s been at for years suddenly fires her, forcing her to leave her posh flat in downtown Milan and her trendy lifestyle: goodbye A-list parties and farewell fabulous holidays on the island of Formentera. Shattered but determined to keep her chin up, she tries catering for a small company, striving to make her client’s dreams come true with delicious, affordable eats. She puts her heart and soul into the venture, and it shows. Against the glamorous backdrop of Milan, scrumptious food goes down a treat at spectacular parties (including a swanky reception at Milan’s iconic La Scala opera house). Alongside Betta are her charming but bumbling business partner, Tito, a team of soft-hearted waiters, and a surly, standoffish lawyer who’d easily be mistaken for Mr. Darcy, right down to his name. Ultimately Betta questions her own assumptions about what makes for a truly meaningful life, discovering that second chances can lead to unexpected opportunities, and moments of sheer bliss. Camilla Dell’Orto Necchi lives in Milan, where the worst financial crisis since the Depression put an abrupt end to her glamorous existence. Farewell fashion fests and cheerio cocktails at the Triennale. Thank goodness she always loved laying on the dreamiest dinner parties, a gift she managed to turn into a profession.

Rights sold: BTB (Germany) Mario Desiati, CANDORE Einaudi, September 2016, pp. 232 “Candore is the novel of novels”, Roberto Saviano A straight-talking, candid, entertaining and at times gut-wrenchingly moving novel, Candore is about the appeal of the forbidden, the sex industry and the weaknesses of all men. Martino Bux, an eighteen-year-old non residential student, discovers that dreams can sometimes come true. Unattainable women suddenly appear before his very eyes in an adult movie theatre. He can watch them without being seen and enjoy them without having anyone to answer to. But very soon, for Martino, pornography turns into an obsession. Neither judgmental nor morbidly fascinated by the subject, Candore is a humorous and adventurous journey into the world of pornography. It’s the novel about lust and transgression that simply had to be written. But above all, it is a book for those who have ever wished, even just for a day, to leave common sense at home and turn away from all that is right or good, but never actually had the guts to fulfil their fantasies. Mario Desiati hails from Martina Franca and has published six novels. His book Il paese delle spose infelici was made into a film of the same name by Pippo Mezzapesa, and Ternitti (Mondadori, 2011) was a finalist in the Premio Strega. His previous works have been translated in Germany and Holland. Film/TV Rights: optioned to ALTRE STORIE Fabio Geda, ANIME SCALZE Einaudi, April 2017, pp. 230 Ercole Santià spends his childhood piecing together the everyday bits and bobs of life. As resourceful as they are pig-headed, Ercole, his sister Asia, and their naïvely clueless father struggle to make ends meet. And yet, just like everyone else, the kids go to school, grow up and fall in love. Suddenly, however, Ercole’s world starts to fall apart. In his inimitably mellow style, Fabio Geda describes the trials, tribulations and marvels of a boy forced into premature adulthood and trying hard to fit in. It’s a story about dealing with first loves, distracted fathers, confused mothers and uneasy secrets. Fabio Geda (Turin, 1972) has published extensively and has been translated all over the world. His books include Per il resto del viaggio ho sparato agli indiani (Instar Libri 2007, Feltrinelli 2009), L’esatta sequenza dei gesti (Instar Libri 2008), Nel mare ci sono i coccodrilli (Baldini & Castoldi 2010), L’estate alla fine del secolo (Baldini & Castoldi 2011), Se la vita che salvi è la tua (Einaudi Stile Libero 2014) and the children’s book series Berlin by Mondadori.

  • Environmental-Mafia. the Role of Literature in Education in Environmental Education Projects
    The Online Journal of Science and Technology - January 2018 Volume 8, Issue 1 ENVIRONMENTAL-MAFIA. THE ROLE OF LITERATURE IN EDUCATION IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROJECTS Alessandro PERISSINOTTO University of Turin, Department of Philosophy and Educational Sciences, Turin- Italy [email protected] Abstract: The judicial systems of many countries contemplate the notion of "environmental crime". A crime always involves suffering; then, through the notion of environmental crime, the law recognizes the existence of a pain inflicted to the entire Earth. A narrative focused on "Environmental Crimes" allows readers to experience (virtually) this "pain of the planet." The purpose of this intervention is to illustrate how the thriller, thanks to the identification mechanisms, may contribute to the formation of an "environmental consciousness" able to feel empathically the planet's pain and prevent it. In other words, it is assumed that fiction can play an important role in environmental education projects. Keywords: environmental education, fiction, . Introduction My aim is to analyze the role of literary fiction in the definition of massive environmental sensitivity. To explain the problem I’ll start from a text by one of the most famous contemporary Italian writers: Roberto Saviano. In his non- fiction novel, Gomorrah, Saviano illustrated the tremendous power of the economic empire of the Neapolitan Mafia, the Camorra, and for this reason he was sentenced to death by the mafia itself. In the last chapter of the book, he speaks of the "Land of Fires", of the territory where, through criminal organizations, thousands of tonnes of toxic or polluting waste are illegally disposed of. The following passage clarifies many aspects of this business, but also tells us something about social attitudes that make it possible: The image of a landfill, pit, or quarry is increasingly a concrete and visible synonym for deadly danger for nearby residents.

  • La Narrativa E La Città
    Napoli da Serao a Saviano: racconto o cronaca ? LA NARRATIVA E LA CITTÀ Antonio Borrelli, Aniello Fratta Napoli è certamente una delle città italiane ed europee alla quale sono stati dedicati più ro- manzi dalla fine dell’Ottocento ai giorni nostri, dal momento che, per la sua storia, per i suoi pro- blemi, per la sua morfologia, per il carattere della sua popolazione, ha sempre suscitato interesse nei viaggiatori, nei cronisti e negli scrittori, napoletani e non. La stessa camorra, male endemico della città e più in generale dell’area campana, è diventata un tema frequente non solo nella letteratura, ma anche nel teatro, nel cinema e nella canzone. Limitandoci in questa sede al genere romanzesco, le opere ambientate nel capoluogo cam- pano sono molte, tanto che abbiamo dovuto necessariamente operare la seguente essenziale selezio- ne: Matilde Serao, Il ventre di Napoli, Milano, Treves, 1884; Carlo Bernari , Tre operai , 1934; Domenico Rea , Spaccanapoli , 1947; Giuseppe Marotta , L’oro di Napoli , 1947; Luigi Incorona- to , Scala a San Potito , 1950; Anna Maria Ortese , Il mare non bagna Napoli , 1953; Raffaele La Capria , L’armonia perduta , 1986; Fabrizia Ramondino , Star di casa , 1991; Ermanno Rea , Mi- stero napoletano , 1995; Giuseppe Montesano , Nel corpo di Napoli , 1997; Peppe Lanzetta , Tropi- co di Napoli , 2000; Valeria Parrella , Mosca più balena ?, 2003; Antonella Cilento , Nero napole- tano , 2004; Erri De Luca , Napolide , 2006; Roberto Saviano , Gomorra , 2006. Una prima scelta ha isolato quei romanzi che più direttamente hanno indagato, con risposte spesso contrastanti, la vita della città nei suoi vari aspetti (culturale, antropologico, sociale): un cri- terio che ha imposto l’esclusione anche di autori importanti, come Mario Pomilio e Michele Prisco, sia perché più attenti agli ambienti borghesi della provincia meridionale, sia perché, per loro stessa ammissione, valutabili come scrittori “non napoletani”, anche vivendo a Napoli.

  • The Fiction of the Artist Under Contract in Novels of Organized Crime from Italy and Mexico
    Writing under the Influence: The Fiction of the Artist under Contract in Novels of Organized Crime from Italy and Mexico Antoine Ducoux (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle – Paris 3) [Accepted for publication: 04/04/2020] Abstract iction writers have sought to provide original descriptions of the mafia’s F obscure and changing worlds and reflect on their own representational strategies by using metaliterary devices. In Yuri Herrera’s Trabajos del reino (2004), Walter Siti’s Resistere non serve a niente (2012) and Víctor Hugo Rascón Banda’s Contrabando (2008), the representation of the artist under contract with organized crime provides a narrative content and a metaliterary figure which can help us make sense of the complex relationship between literary fiction and organized crime. The artist under contract is shown to put their own credibility at risk and reflect from a position of fragility and depen- dence. From the intra-diegetic representation of an author under contract with organized crime—a key aspect of Herrera’s Trabajos del reino—, to the blurring of the autobiographical pact with the reader in Resistere non serve a niente and Contrabando, this article asks how authors creatively question the credibility and the authority of their own literary discourse on organized crime. Through the study of the contractual aspects of the literary text (as an intra-diegetic component and a constitutive element of the autofiction genre), the article discusses the hermeneutic value of fiction: is there a pro- ductive use of ambiguity that can facilitate the interpretation of the secretive and ambiguous worlds of organized crime? And understanding meant being part of it somehow.

  • A Socio-Economic Study of the Camorra Through Journalism
    A SOCIO-ECONOMIC STUDY OF THE CAMORRA THROUGH JOURNALISM, RELIGION AND FILM by ROBERT SHELTON BELLEW (under the direction of Thomas E. Peterson) ABSTRACT This dissertation is a socio-economic study of the Camorra as portrayed through Roberto Saviano‘s book Gomorra: Viaggio nell'impero economico e nel sogno di dominio della Camorra and Matteo Garrone‘s film, Gomorra. It is difficult to classify Saviano‘s book. Some scholars have labeled Gomorra a ―docufiction‖, suggesting that Saviano took poetic freedoms with his first-person triune accounts. He employs a prose and news reporting style to narrate the story of the Camorra exposing its territory and business connections. The crime organization is studied through Italian journalism, globalized economics, eschatology and neorealistic film. In addition to igniting a cultural debate, Saviano‘s book has fomented a scholarly consideration on the innovativeness of his narrative style. Wu Ming 1 and Alessandro Dal Lago epitomize the two opposing literary camps. Saviano was not yet a licensed reporter when he wrote the book. Unlike the tradition of news reporting in the United States, Italy does not have an established school for professional journalism instruction. In fact, the majority of Italy‘s leading journalists are writers or politicians by trade who have gravitated into the realm of news reporting. There is a heavy literary influence in Italian journalism that would be viewed as too biased for Anglo- American journalists.
