Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Queste memorie tracciano il percorso dell'autore da umili origini in Sicilia, dove nasce nel 1940, alla sua emigrazione in Canada nel 1951, al successo accademico e professionale negli Stati Uniti e nel Canada, alla sua carriera con la radiodiffusione pubblica Canadese (CBC).Da giovane immigrato a Montreal, assiste dal vivo alla nascita del movimento separatista del Quebec. Mentre segue una carriera come ingegnere, professore, e presidente di collegio, osserva le forze che ristrutturano il Canada. Quando entra nella CBC nel 1985, ha maturato una comprensione rara delle solitudini linguistiche e principali fratture politiche.Nominato presidente della CBC nel 1993, Manera si trova al centro di uno dei momenti piu pericolosi della storia canadese moderna: il periodo che precede il referendum separatista del Quebec del 1995. In queste pagine rivela le pressioni, i conflitti e le decisioni ad altissimo rischio che si giocavano dietro le quinte-decisioni che, secondo lui, avrebbero potuto influenzare il destino del paese.Ricche di osservazioni politiche, riflessioni storiche e aneddoti personali, queste memorie offrono un resoconto riservato e raro del Canada in un momento di svolta. Quando l'unita nazionale, l'alienazione regionale e il futuro delle istituzioni pubbliche tornano di nuovo sotto discussione, la storia di Tony Manera e insieme una narrazione personale avvincente e un monito tempestivo della storia.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An old Sicilian proverb "You can force someone to cry but not to sing" sets the stage for a contemporary story rooted in historical fact. Don Pasquale, a sophisticated Mafia-connected businessman, seeks fame and fortune through his inside track on a five-billion-euro project dreamed about since ancient Roman times. He lives with his beautiful and jealous wife Donna Rosa in a palatial Renaissance-style villa lavishly supplied with contemporary art. His inspiration comes from books such as Machiavelli's The Prince and Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal. After rival Mafia boss Rizzo is assassinated, Don Pasquale expects smooth sailing. Still, he's concerned by a mysterious warning from his boyhood friend Inspector Bellini. "Isn't it amazing how peaceful Etna is most of the time? Yet, even when a mantle of snow covers its peak, there could be a devastating eruption." Soon after, the European Investment Bank, worried about Mafia entanglement, freezes its share of the project's funding. He decides to fly to England to raise money from some unscrupulous wealthy associates. Donna Rosa becomes agitated about this sudden trip abroad and accuses him of carrying on an affair with an English duchess, which he denies. Further complications arise when Don Pasquale is betrayed by people he has always trusted. With Bellini, determined to put him behind bars, nipping at his heels, he becomes recklessly paranoid. Just as disaster looms, an unexpected golden opportunity arises from the Byzantine machinations of Italian politics. If he can seize it, his troubles will dissipate like morning dew under a rising Sicilian sun. A complex investigation involving police forces in Italy, Canada, Scotland Yard, the FBI, and Interpol brings the story to its surprising climax. The Sicilian resort town of Taormina, with its scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage, provides the primary setting for the plot's epic clash between corruption and the pursuit of justice. Kirkus Review Excerpt: "Fast-paced story that wastes no time in building to its climax.An efficient and intriguing, if sometimes, bumpy tale." BookLife Review Excerpt: "Offbeat plot, narrative swerves, emphasis on local culture.A mafia story full of unexpected twists, betrayals, and local details that delivers a welcome change of pace."

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. There is political gridlock in Washington. Congress is unable to address the most pressing problems facing Americans. Politicians spend more time raising cash to finance their increasingly costly campaigns than they do conducting the business of the people. A minority of individuals, driven by insatiable greed, pursue the accumulation of wealth through whatever means they can get away with, buying the political influence that allows them to do so. Meanwhile, the national debt is spiralling out of control. Against all odds, Elizabeth Stone, a visionary federal judge, is elected president as an independent candidate. During her first two years in office, she makes significant progress by working in collaboration with both major political parties. She is determined to reduce the influence of big money on politics. Then she is assassinated. The Company of Friends is a secretive organization bent on inflating its piggish coffers by any means. Was it involved in the US president's assassination, and if so how? The reader is taken through the seamy side of politics and the murky depths of the criminal underworld, as a persistent FBI agent finally exposes the web of corruption behind such a heinous crime.
