Book Description
New York, late evening of March 30, 1972: During a political banquet organized by the challenging candidate Senator Donald Montgomery in the run-up to the US presidential elections, a wealthy young woman, his well-known elector married to the very rich Peter White and a systematically adulterous woman who in the 50s had been the lover of the Italian Vittorio D'Aiazzo, deputy police commissioner of Turin, and in 1969 his friend Ranieri Velli’s lover, is killed with a firearm. After killing a security guard who got in the way, a mysterious individual suddenly appeared at the door of the dining room, killed the woman, fled, and disappeared without trace. The only elements that the guests, Velli among them, recall of the murderer is the masked upper part of the face, the massive size, the modest height and the large grayish beard, characteristic features of Vittorio D'Aiazzo who in those same hours was not in Italy but in New York ... Already published for the first time in 2010 with GDS Edizioni and now out of print, this novel has been revised and greatly modified by the author and is published and in the new version with Tektime. It is based on the figures of the deputy police commissioner Vittorio D'Aiazzo and his friend Ranieri Velli, characters who are also present in other works by the author. The story unfolds in the year 1972, after the novel ”Il metro dell’amore tossico” (distributed by Tektime, not yet translated into English), set in 1969, and takes place partly in New York and partly in Turin as did the narrative of the aforementioned novel. We also find, together with the two main characters, several supporting figures including the interested publisher Mark Lines and the icy billionaire Donald Montgomery, former director of the FBI in New York and now a member of the Senate and candidate for the Presidency of the United States against the outgoing president M. N. Richard. On the evening of March 30 1972, during an electoral banquet organized by Montgomery, a wealthy young woman is shot dead. She is his great elector, wife of the very rich Peter White, and a systematically adulterous woman who in the 50s had been Vittorio’s lover and in 1969 Ranieri’s lover. A mysterious individual suddenly appears at the door of the dining room, and after killing a security guard who was in the way, kills the woman and flees managing to lose all trace of himself. Of the murderer, masked in the upper part of the face, only the massive size, the modest height and the large grayish beard, characteristic features of the deputy police commissioner Vittorio D'Aiazzo, appear evident to the guests, among whom sits Ranieri Velli; moreover, in those same hours Vittorio was not in Italy but in New York with his girlfriend Marina Ferdi, widow of the late commissioner Verdoni, once Vittorio’s deputy. No less, D'Aiazzo’s name is included in the list of guests at the private banquet. Apart from Ranieri Velli, clouded by his friendship, the witnesses recognize and point to the deputy police commissioner as the killer. He is accused of murder, together with his partner, by the New York prosecutor Maxwell, friend and supporter of Montgomery. The latter wants to show that it was not, as the outgoing president Richard insistently insinuates, a fake attack on his person which he organized himself for electoral publicity, that unfortunately ended badly because the shooter missed the target. The district attorney is fully intent on having Vittorio convicted based on an alleged motive of passion: his hatred for the woman who had abandoned him at the time. The deputy police commissioner and his girlfriend are extradited to New York for the preliminary trial which, as we know, in the United States takes place in the courtroom, in the presence of jury and judge. At this point we are still only at the beginning of the novel. Several pages among those that follow present phases of th Translator: Barbara Maher PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Book Description
Recognized as a master of Italian cinema, Vittorio De Sica is perhaps best known and most respected for his critically acclaimed neorealist films of the period 1946-55. As this anthology reveals, however, his production was remarkably multifaceted. The essays included here - some newly commissioned, some reprinted, and others in translation - look at De Sica's varied career from many perspecives. Structured chronologically, the volume begins by introducing readers to De Sica's early popularity as an actor and singer during the years of Italian Fascism, and to his initial directorial efforts before the end of World War II. It was not until the postwar era, however, that De Sica made his mark in film history. Special attention is given to this critical phase of his career, which encompasses the neorealist films that made him famous: "Shoeshine", "Bicycle Thieves", "Miracle in Milan", and "Umberto D." When the neorealist movement waned after 1955, De Sica returned to his roots in Neapolitan comedy for a series of commercially successful films starring Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. Memorable works from this period include "Two Women" and "Marriage Italian Style" as well as "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow", which won De Sica an Academy Award in 1965. In one of his final films, "The Garden of the Finzi Continis", he returned to the subject of World War II and to the human tragedy characteristic of his best neorealist productions. This fine anthology offers a comprehensive critical survey that covers the entire scope of De Sica's career, and is an excellent resource for students, critics and film enthusiasts.

Book Description
In the year 2000 the elderly emeritus police commissioner D'Aiazzo, is working alongside Commissioner Sordi, his former employee, as a consultant at the Police Headquarters in Turin. He is investigating a series of murders that seem to be the anarchic work of a sadistic serial killer or people sacrifices to the devil of one of the sulfurous sects in the macabre-obsessed Turin. But it could also or only have elements related to the brand of terrorism that had raged in Italy until about twenty years beforehand and still drags on into the end of the millennium. The monster suppresses his victims in a horrendous way, pushing the murder weapon into an ear until it reaches the brain and kills them. The investigation unfolds through disturbing suspicions, identity crises, psychological annotations, and reaches its conclusive acme in the unsettling final revelation, which has the death of the police commissioner himself, as the very consequence of his discovery of the culprit as its addendum. In the year 2000 the elderly police commissioner emeritus Vittorio D'Aiazzo is working alongside commissioner Sordi, his former employee, as a consultant to the Turin Police Headquarters. They are investigating a series of murders that appear to be the anarchic work of a sadistic serial killer or sacrifices to the devil by one of the sulfurous sects of macabre-obsessed Turin. But they may also, or only, have roots related to the terrorism that had raged in Italy until twenty years earlier and is still dragging on at the end of the millennium. The monster suppresses his victims horrendously by sticking the murder weapon into an ear until it reaches the brain, with lethal results. The investigation touches on private issues and moves forward through a motley group of humanity that is not entirely morally transparent. But it also touches on the political, economic, and social themes typical of the 1970s during the so-called anni di piombo (years of terrorism), when political and private violence normally ended up being mixed with the disappearance, or almost, of the concept of the person and the prevalence of social roles. Vittorio D'Aiazzo's investigation winds its way through the evil fruits of those perverse seeds, amid disturbing conjectures, identity crises, psychological annotations, and reaches its crucial acme in the unsettling final revelation which has as an addendum the death of the commissioner himself, resulting from the discovery of the culprit.

Book Description
Maximize Reward and Minimize Risk with Modern C++ Embracing Modern C++ Safely shows you how to make effective use of the new and enhanced language features of modern C++ without falling victim to their potential pitfalls. Based on their years of experience with large, mission-critical projects, four leading C++ authorities divide C++11/14 language features into three categories: Safe, Conditionally Safe, and Unsafe. Safe features offer compelling value, are easy to use productively, and are relatively difficult to misuse. Conditionally safe features offer significant value but come with risks that require significant expertise and familiarity before use. Unsafe features have an especially poor risk/reward ratio, are easy to misuse, and are beneficial in only the most specialized circumstances. This book distills the C++ community's years of experience applying C++11 and C++14 features and will help you make effective and safe design decisions that reflect real-world, economic engineering tradeoffs in large-scale, diverse software development environments. The authors use examples derived from real code bases to illustrate every finding objectively and to illuminate key issues. Each feature identifies the sound use cases, hidden pitfalls, and shortcomings of that language feature. After reading this book, you will Understand what each C++11/14 feature does and where it works best Recognize how to work around show-stopping pitfalls and annoying corner cases Know which features demand additional training, experience, and peer review Gain insights for preparing coding standards and style guides that suit your organization's needs Be equipped to introduce modern C++ incrementally and judiciously into established code bases Seasoned C++ developers, team leads, and technical managers who want to improve productivity, code quality, and maintainability will find the insights in this modular, meticulously organized reference indispensable.
