“ Delizia!” is the epic history of the Italians & their food. Everyone loves Italian food. But how did the Italians come to eat so well? The advertising industry tells us the answer lies in the vineyards & olive groves of Tuscany
- among sun-weathered peasants, & mammas serving pasta under the pergola. Yet this nostalgic fantasy has little to do with the real history of Italian cuisine. For a thousand years, Italy’s cities have been magnets for everything that makes for great eating: ingredients, talent, money, & power- so Italian food is city food, & telling its story means telling the story of the Italians as a people of city dwellers. In “ Delizia!” the author of the acclaimed “ Cosa Nostra” takes a revelatory historical journey through the flavours of Italy’s cities. From the bustle of Medieval Milan, to the bombast of Fascist Rome; from the pleasure gardens of Renaissance Ferrara, to the putrid alleyways of nineteenth-century Naples. In rich slices of urban life, “ Delizia!” shows how violence & intrigue, as well as taste & creativity, combined to make the worlds favourite cuisine.

The oracle & sanctuary of the Greek god Apollo at Delphi were known as the ”omphalos”--the ”center” or ”navel”--of the ancient world for more than 1000 years. Individuals, city leaders, & kings came from all over the Mediterranean & beyond to consult Delphi`s oracular priestess; to set up monuments to the gods in gold, ivory, bronze, marble, & stone; & to take part in athletic & musical competitions. This book provides the first comprehensive narrative history of this extraordinary sanctuary & city, from its founding to its modern rediscovery, to show more clearly than ever before why Delphi was one of the most important places in the ancient world for so long. In this richly illustrated account, Michael Scott covers the whole history & nature of Delphi, from the literary & archaeological evidence surrounding the site, to its rise as a center of worship with a wide variety of religious practices, to the constant appeal of the oracle despite her cryptic prophecies. He describes how Delphi became a contested sacred site for Greeks & Romans & a storehouse for the treasures of rival city-states & foreign kings. He also examines the eventual decline of the site & how its meaning & importance have continued to be reshaped right up to the present. Finally, for the modern visitor to Delphi, he

Delirium

Aguilar, an unemployed literature professor who has resorted to selling dog food for a living, returns home after a three-day business trip to discover that his wife, Agustina, has gone mad. He doesn`t know what has happened during his absence, and in his search for answers, he slowly uncovers profound and shadowy secrets hidden deep in his wife`s past. On one level, ”Delirium” reads like a detective story, as the reader pieces together information to find out what caused Agustina`s madness. But it is also a remarkably nuanced novel whose currents run much deeper, delving into the minds of four unique characters: Aguilar, a husband passionately in love with his wife and determined to rescue her from madness; Agustina, a beautiful woman from a Colombian upper-class family who
is caught in the throes of delirium; Midas, Agustina`s former lover and a prominent drug-trafficker and money-launderer; and Nicolas, Agustina`s grandfather, who also went mad at the end of his life.Through the mixing of these distinct voices, Laura Restrepo creates a searing portrait of a society battered by war and corruption, as well as an intimate look at the daily lives of people struggling to stay sane in an unstable society. It is an ambitious and deeply affecting masterwork by one of Latin America`s most important contemporary voices.
