Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A slightly longer version, optimized for the product page; opens with a hook, closes with literary positioning.There is only one thing that never dies: wealth. And it is always looking for new hands to cling to.Don Vito made himself from nothing, stone by stone, wresting from bad land an empire now worth more than anyone in his family knows how to count. Seven children, twenty-two grandchildren, and one question beneath every Sunday lunch: who will get it all, the day the old man closes his eyes?Grandfather has already decided. He did not choose the kindest, or the firstborn: he chose the hardest, the only one capable of holding the wealth together instead of letting it scatter. His name is Michele, and he is six years old the first time the old man looks at him from the far end of the table and recognizes him.From that day begins a story of favoritism and hatred, of a boy placed at the head of a fortune that is not his and that he must defend, alone, against everyone, for the rest of his life. A story in which every victory costs something, and in which the man who wins risks discovering, too late, that he has become exactly what condemned him in the first place.A tragedy of wealth in the tradition of Sicilian verismo: the rise of a man who gets everything and, in getting it, loses the one thing that matters.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Walter Montemagno, fifty-six, an IT executive at a large company in Catania, has lived for twenty-seven years a steady and respectable life beside his wife Eleonora and their three children. One November morning, stepping out of his usual cafe, he meets Delia Marraffa on the threshold - the woman he loved madly in his youth and lost, thirty years earlier, to his own jealousy.The encounter rekindles a flame Walter believed long buried. What follows is a clandestine affair lasting more than two years, built on invented business trips, second phones, and lies elaborated with the same methodical precision Walter brings to his work. When Eleonora discovers everything - through a private investigator and the unmistakable photographs of a secret life - her reaction goes far beyond separation and accusations: she carries out a silent, premeditated revenge.One April evening, Walter and Delia are deliberately run down on a dark street in Catania. Walter suffers serious fractures; Delia falls into a coma for eleven days and, on waking, remembers nothing of the last three years. She doesn't remember Walter. While the police investigation hunts for a hit-and-run driver and the couple's children begin to suspect their mother, Walter must face the hardest challenge of his life: to win back the love of a woman who looks at him as a stranger.Rekindled is a novel that interweaves passion and crime, guilt and redemption, memory and identity. With an atmospheric Sicilian setting and a narrative tension that never lets up, it poses an uncomfortable question: how far can betrayed love drive a person who believed herself an angel?English translation of the Italian novel Ritorno di Fiamma This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Hay una sola cosa que no muere: la fortuna. Y siempre esta buscando manos nuevas a las que aferrarse.Don Vito se hizo a si mismo, piedra por piedra, arrancandole a la tierra mala un imperio que hoy vale mas de lo que nadie, en su familia, sabe contar. Siete hijos, veintidos nietos, y una sola pregunta debajo de cada almuerzo dominical: a quien ira todo, el dia que el viejo cierre los ojos?El abuelo ya decidio. No eligio al mas bueno ni al primogenito: eligio al mas duro, al unico capaz de sostener la fortuna y no dispersarla. Se llama Michele, y tiene seis anos la primera vez que el viejo lo mira desde el otro extremo de la mesa y lo reconoce.Desde ese dia empieza una historia de predileccion y de odio, de un muchacho puesto al frente de un patrimonio que no es suyo y que debera defender, solo, contra todos, durante toda su vida. Una historia en la que cada victoria cuesta algo, y en la que el hombre que gana corre el riesgo de descubrir, demasiado tarde, que se ha convertido exactamente en aquello que lo habia condenado.Una tragedia de la fortuna en la tradicion del verismo siciliano: el ascenso de un hombre que lo consigue todo y, al conseguirlo, pierde lo unico que importa.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Chiara, maestra de primaria en un pueblo de la costa de Palermo, y Marco, electricista acostumbrado a arreglarlo todo, cumplen tras anos de espera el sueno de tener un hijo. Leo nace al alba y desde el principio muestra una fascinacion particular por la luz: los reflejos de la vieja lampara, el destello del faro de Capo Zafferano sobre el mar. Al principio es una ternura: lo llaman "el girasol".Con el segundo ano, la misma fijacion revela otra cara. Leo no responde a su nombre, no senala para compartir, usa la mano de la madre como una herramienta. La prueba de audicion es perfecta: oye todo, menos su nombre. Llega la evaluacion, y con ella la palabra -autismo. La familia se encuentra asustada, desorientada, sola: los parientes minimizan, las invitaciones se diluyen, la soledad se siente en medio de los demas.El giro no es una curacion. Es un vuelco: en vez de tirar de Leo hacia su propio mundo, Chiara aprende a entrar en el suyo. Arrodillada en la luz que su hijo ama, descubre la primera mirada compartida. La luz se convierte en el puente, y luego en la lengua. Siguen los anos de las "pequenas grandes conquistas que valen el doble" el mar finalmente vencido, la mano que un dia la toma no para conseguir algo, sino para invitarla a mirar juntos.En la vispera de los catorce anos de Leo, Chiara le escribe una carta -la carta que da sentido a todo el libro, y que el lector lee habiendo ya vivido cada linea. Leo, a su manera, le responde en la unica lengua que han construido juntos: la lleva a la ventana, le muestra el faro, le dice sin palabras lo que ella le ha escrito toda la noche.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A solar quote almost always lands in your inbox in the evening, as a six-page attachment with a final number at the bottom that's meant to make an impression. Inside: abbreviations, wattages, brand names you've never heard of - and a savings promise that reads like it was written specifically to convince you.This book isn't trying to convince you of anything. It's here to put you in a position to ask the right questions - of yourself, before you ever call an installer - so that solar actually pays you back, instead of becoming a handsome rooftop fixture that only breaks even after twenty years.Across thirteen chapters, written for the person who has to decide rather than the person who has to design, you'll find: - how to tell whether solar makes sense for your home, before you call anyone;- how to read a quote line by line and recognize the inflated items;- when a battery genuinely pays for itself, and when it's just an extra cost;- how incentives and tax breaks generally work, and the questions to ask about your own country's rules;- the promises to run from - door-to-door sales, zero bill claims, financing tied to the sale;- what to check on installation day and at commissioning;- how to set up cleaning and maintenance so the system keeps working well for thirty years.There's also room for the electric car as extra storage, balcony systems and solar pergolas for anyone without a roof of their own, and four real-world case studies - from the detached house to the apartment in a shared building - to help you recognize your own situation between the lines.An honest guide for the person who has to decide: no unnecessary jargon, none of a salesperson's enthusiasm, one single goal - to actually save you money, on your bill and in choosing the right installer.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Chiara, an elementary-school teacher in a town on the Palermo coast, and Marco, an electrician used to fixing everything, fulfill after years of waiting their dream of a child. Leo is born at dawn and from the very beginning shows a particular enchantment with light: the reflections of the old chandelier, the beam of the lighthouse of Capo Zafferano on the sea. At first it is a sweetness: they call him "the sunflower." With his second year the same fixity reveals another face. Leo does not respond to his own name, does not point to share, uses his mother's hand as a tool. His hearing test is perfect: he hears everything, except his name. The assessment comes, and with it the word - autism. The family finds itself frightened, disoriented, alone: relatives make light of it, the invitations thin out, the loneliness is felt in the midst of others. The turning point is not a cure. It is a reversal: instead of pulling Leo into her own world, Chiara learns to enter his. Kneeling in the light her son loves, she discovers the first shared glance. Light becomes the bridge, and then the language. There follow the years of the "small, great conquests that are worth twice as much" the sea finally won, the hand that one day takes hold of her not to obtain something, but to invite her to look together. On the eve of Leo's fourteenth birthday, Chiara writes him a letter - the letter that gives meaning to the whole book, and that the reader reads having by now lived through every line. Leo, in his own way, answers her in the only language they have built together: he leads her to the window, shows her the lighthouse, tells her without words what she has written him all night long.
