Weisses Marionettenpferdchen : Theaterspiel (9780993580253)

Unsichtbaren Fäden vergleichbar, die Menschen voneinander trennende Kluften überspannen, liegt es in der bewundernswerten Fähigkeit von Worten, ein enormes Spektrum seelischer Zustände zu erzeugen, die von dem Gefühl lebendiger, irisierender Nähe bis zu dem Erleben schier unermesslicher Distanz, Entfremdung, aber auch wild aufbrausender Emotionen reichen. Weißes Marionettenpferdchen führt, ausgehend von scheinbarer friedlicher Harmonie und Ruhe, die heftige Dramatik vor Augen, die sich entfesseln kann, wenn sich Worte nicht mehr mit der Metapher unsichtbarer, taktvoller Fäden begnügen, sondern wie peitschende Seile durch die zwischen zwei Menschen bestehende Beziehung fauchen, bevor sie wieder innehalten und sich besänftigen.

Mafia Republic: Italy's Criminal Curse. Cosa Nostra, 'Ndrangheta and Camorra from 1946 to the Present (9781444726411)

In MAFIA REPUBLIC, John Dickie, Professor of Italian Studies at University College, London and author of the international bestsellers COSA NOSTRA and MAFIA BROTHERHOODS, shows how the Italian mafias have grown in power and become more and more interconnected, with terrifying consequences. In 1946, Italy became a democratic Republic, thereby entering the family of modern western nations. But deep within Italy there lurked a forgotten curse: three major criminal brotherhoods, whose methods had been honed over a century of experience. As Italy grew, so did the mafias. Sicily's Cosa Nostra, the camorra from Naples, and the mysterious 'ndrangheta from Calabria stood ready to enter the wealthiest and bloodiest period of their long history. Italy made itself rich by making scooters, cars and handbags. The mafias carved out their own route to wealth through tobacco smuggling, construction, kidnapping and narcotics.
