Ridotti al silenzio
by Annemarie Nikolaus Ilaria IgieniUna catastrofe pubblica che apparentemente non deve essere chiarita. Una giornalista che si imbatte in un'altra tragedia risalente ad alcuni anni prima. Qualsiasi collegamento sembra pura speculazione- ma poi la sua famiglia viene minacciata. Un breve giallo che specula su avvenimenti storici. La giornalista Laura Schreiner si trova davanti a una decisione dolorosa. Ha fatto troppe domande e ora la vita dei suoi figli è in pericolo. Una catastrofe su cui stranamente, all'apparenza, nessuno vuole fare luce. La giovane e ambiziosa giornalista non lo accetta. Durante le sue ricerche, incontra qualcuno che tenta di convincerla dell'esistenza di un collegamento con un altro dramma irrisolto. Potrebbero essere speculazioni selvagge; eppure i suoi figli sono stati rapiti. Chiunque ci sia dietro, è potente e spietato. Questo breve racconto giallo è un mosaico che si compone di allusioni e supposizioni attorno a fatti realmente accaduti più di trent'anni fa. Questo libro è un'opera di fantasia. Benché si svolga sullo sfondo di fatti storici, la trama è interamente frutto dell'immaginazione dell'autrice.

Vividly conveying the unspoken codes of Victorian society, this is a gripping tale of emotional and psychological reckoning that offers an inspired meditation on the relationship between humankind and the natural world. “Immediately gripping . . . An epic tale whose figures in landscape encapsulate a turning point in history.” —The Times Literary Supplement “Poster’s prose is at its best when describing the flora and fauna (exotic birds especially), the sounds and smells, of the outback . . . A stylish, assured and thoughtful narrative.” —The Guardian “Violence seethes perpetually just below the surface, all the more powerful for the author’s restraint . . . Rifling Paradise is one of those historical novels that continually confronts us with our present world, the world created out of the brutality and disaster of the past but also out of its graces, a world we may not yet be mature enough to save.” —Historical Novels

The Rift
by Walter Jon WilliamsIt was the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers who finally made the Swampeast habitable. Just south of Cape Girardeau the levee line began, to continue 2,200 miles to the Gulf of Mexico. The levees kept the floodwaters out. During the decades of prosperity, the farmers had forgotten the conditions under which they had prospered were artificial. Southeastern Missouri was as artificial as the Washington Monument, the St. Louis Gateway Arch, or the space shuttle, and like these, existed as a monument to the ingenuity of humankind. The land there had been manufactured. But that which is artificial occupies a precarious position in the world of nature. Its existence depends upon the maintenance of the conditions under which it was designed. The Mississippi River's levee system was built with the understanding that two things would remain constant: The flood waters would not rise much higher than they had in the past, and the land on which the levees were built would not move of its own accord. The first of these constants was violated regularly. The result was a greater commitment to reinforced levees. The second constant, the requirement that the earth not move, had not been tested. Though such a test, as history showed, was inevitable.
