Moonshot
Baseball wasn’t supposed to be a game of life and death… The summer that Chase Stern entered my life, I was seventeen. The daughter of a legend, the Yankees were my family, their stadium my home, their dugout my workplace. My focus was on the game. Chase … he started out as a distraction. A distraction with sex appeal poured into every inch of his six foot frame. A distraction who played like a god and partied like a devil. I tried to stay away. I couldn’t. Then, the team started losing. Women started dying. And everything in my perfect world broke apart.

La Ricezione Dell'ultimo Alessandro
This volume contains 18 papers presented at the International Conference "Mirabilia and violence around the Indus. The last years of Alexander the Great in Latin, Greek and Sanskrit literary reception", held at the University of Cagliari (8-10 March 2023). Divided into three thematic sections (Il mondo classico; L'India e la Cina; Medioevo e Rinascimento), the essays differ in the linguistic varieties of the primary sources analysed, in the chronological range from the first Hellenism to the Renaissance, and in the approach adopted, historical or philological-literary. However, a common thread runs through all the works: the reception of Alexander from a broad and multifocal perspective, ranging from the description of the mirabilia associated with the late Eastern campaign to the contrasting characterisation of the king as a 'philosopher in arms' and an unbridled conqueror. With contributions from several experts in the specific subject and in the various disciplines involved, this book offers an interdisciplinary approach that can stimulate scholars and students in a variety of fields.

Selected Letters of Alessandra Strozzi, Bilingual edition
The letters of Alessandra Strozzi provide a vivid and spirited portrayal of life in fifteenth-century Florence. Among the richest autobiographical materials to survive from the Italian Renaissance, the letters reveal a woman who fought stubbornly to preserve her family's property and position in adverse circumstances, and who was an acute observer of Medicean society. Her letters speak of political and social status, of the concept of honor, and of the harshness of life, including the plague and the loss of children. They are also a guide to Alessandra's inner life over a period of twenty-three years, revealing the pain and sorrow, and, more rarely, the joy and triumph, with which she responded to the events unfolding around her. This edition includes translations, in full or in part, of 35 of the 73 extant letters. The selections carry forward the story of Alessandra's life and illustrate the range of attitudes, concerns, and activities which were characteristic of their author.

Uebersetzungen des «Cunto de li cunti» von Giambattista Basile
Dank der Brüder Grimm ist der Cunto de li cunti von Giambattista Basile nicht in Vergessenheit geraten. Der Band versucht, das neapolitanische Kunstwerk dem Rampenlicht des deutschen Märchens zu entziehen und seine davon unabhängige Identität wieder in den Fokus rücken. Drei große Übersetzungen zwischen 1846 und 2000 beweisen das anhaltende Interesse der deutschsprachigen Welt für dieses Buch, wie auch zahlreiche Adaptionen und Anspielungen verschiedener Autoren. Im Rahmen einer ausführlichen Auseinandersetzung mit den Elementen Sprache, Stil und Struktur untersucht die Autorin die Entstehungszeit dieses Werkes, um die Etappen der deutschen Rezeption und vor allem die Leistung der Übersetzungen anhand konkreter Beispiele zu beleuchten.
