Winter 2010
From Europa Editions this season: superior international fare, fiction and non, that takes readers from the Greek Islands to Afghanistan, from contemporary Berlin to Ancient Rome.
Der Spiegel hailed Russian-born German author Alina Bronsky's novel as "the most exciting new arrival of the season," and Kölner Stradtrevue called it “surprising, poetic, extremely well-crafted…reminiscent of the narrative art of Zadie Smith.” Broken Glass Park (April) is the story of Sascha, a young woman whose dreams are in stark contrast with the harsh world in which she is growing up.
Alina will be on tour in April, with stops in Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington DC, and New York at the PEN World Voices festival. Details coming soon.
The Ides of March (March) is a political thriller set during the tempestuous final days of Julius Caesar’s Imperial Rome. “Manfredi takes a story whose finale is well known and turns it into a tale that is gripping, full of suspense and surprise twists of the kind that are found in the best thrillers.”—Corriere della Sera
Valerio Massimo Manfredi is the bestselling author of over fifteen historical novels, including the “Alexander” trilogy and The Last Legion, made into a film starring Colin Firth and Ben Kingsley, and directed by Doug Lefler.
As brilliantly crafted and riveting as a first-rate suspense novel and with the emotional engagement of the best literary fiction, Days of Fear (April) offers rare insight into the Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan while telling an unforgettable tale of courage in the face of danger.
Author Daniele Mastrogiacomo will be on tour in April to talk about Days of Fear and his experiences in Afghanistan and in the many other hot spots where he has been assigned over almost twenty years as a foreign correspondent. He will be meeting his readers in Birmingham (MI), Chicago, Washington DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. Details coming soon.
A sweeping saga of love and hope, Swell has been acclaimed as a classic of modern Greek literature. Ioanna Karystiani (The Jasmine Isle, Europa Editions 2006) "writes with a marvelous, original mixture of eroticism and poetry.”—Le Monde
