Hvor findes det ægte Italien? Svaret er: Mange steder. Hvis du bare ved hvorhenne man skal lede, for det er muligt at få en autentisk oplevelse oppe i bjergene, i byerne, ved strandene og langt ude på landet mellem vinmarkerne, oliven og solsikker.Guidebogen beskriver særligt udvalgte overnatningssteder, hvor du kan opleve det ægte Italien, og er således ikke en traditionel guidebog om seværdigheder. Her handler det om at finde steder at bo i autentisk atmosfære og flotte omgivelser, såsom vingårde, middelalderborge, strandhoteller, bjerghytter, historiske villaer og byhoteller. Geografisk dækkes hele den nordlige halvdel af Italien, fra Alperne til Rom.

Den Spanske Borgerkrig beskriver udviklingen i Spanien frem til borgerkrigens afslutning i foråret 1939.Bogen beskriver de stormagtspolitiske forviklinger, som får betydning for borgerkrigens forløb (fra juli 1936 frem til 1939) og senere for 2. Verdenskrig. Et væsentligt aspekt i denne forbindelse er stormagternes overvejelser om, hvorvidt de skulle involvere sig i Spanien. Derudover redegøres der for selve forløbet af borgerkrigen, ligesom hjælpen udefra beskrives.Spanien blev fra 1936 en skueplads for nationale, såvel som for religiøse magtgrupper og for sammenstødet mellem forskellige ideologier - spændende fra fascismen til kommunismen. De mange frivillige - herunder mere end 500 fra Danmark - som strømmede til Spanien, var optændt af idealisme. Mange gav deres liv for at forsvare demokratiet.Bogen er først og fremmest rettet mod historie­­undervis­ningen på gymnasiet, handelsgymnasiet og på hf, ligesom den vil være relevant i forhold til de nye tilrettelæggelsesformer, som indføres med den nye gymnasiereform.

Uden forudsætninger for at skrive om cykelløb, faktisk uden nogensinde at have overværet et cykelløb, sendes den italienske forfatter og journalist Dino Buzzati (1906-1972) af sin avis afsted for at dække Giro d’Italia 1949: krigsstøvet har knapt har lagt sig, man famler efter normalitet og mening, og publikum hungrer efter en helt anden type dramatik – hvad de får i det endelige opgør mellem giganterne Fausto Coppi og Gino Bartali.Buzzatis ikoniske reportager sætter nye standarder for sportsjournalistik: Buzzati placerer cykelløbet i en levende litterær og poetisk ramme; han bygger bro mellem rytterne og publikum; og han giver stemme til landskabet, kammeratskabet, pinslerne og lidenskaben. Dino Buzzati formår at skrive om cykelløb, så selv cykel-fornægtere må overgive sig til den funklende og betagende prosa.I Italien er Buzzatis cykelbog blevet en klassiker; et tilbagevendende referencepunkt, såvel litterært som indenfor sportsjournalistikken (der trækkes f.eks. i dag ivrige paralleller mellem henholdsvis Bartali og Coppis opgør og Pogačar og Vingegaards). Buzzatis reportager betragtes den dag i dag som et nybrud indenfor genren.

Bring the joy of Italian cooking to your kitchen with 100 classic and incredibly delicious Italian family favorites, from the star of Laura in the Kitchen.When Laura Vitale moved to the United States from her native Italy as a teenager, she was homesick—not just for her family, but for her beloved nonna’s cooking. The slow-cooked Sunday sauces loaded with pork ribs and tender braised beef (and plenty of red wine), the quick pan-fried breaded chicken cutlets destined to be Parmesan’d, the frittata de maccheroni that she’d tuck in a knapsack for beachside picnics . . . and so began a quest to re-create Nonna’s delicious legacy in Laura’s New Jersey kitchen. Ever since, Laura has spent countless hours on the phone with Nonna to learn her secrets for the crispiest fried Cacio e Pepe Aranini, Zia Mimma’s Focaccia Barese (mashed potatoes are the key to its fluffy texture), decadent four-cheese baked ziti, a Sunday supper go-to of Roasted Chicken and Potatoes with Herby Lemon Salsa, and a semolina cake to end all yellow cakes, topped with heaps of limoncello-soaked strawberries. Decades of Sunday suppers, holiday meals, and get-it-done-fast weeknight dinners have perfected the flavors and techniques that represent the essence of Laura’s Italy.

An exciting account of the aerial battles fought by the USAAF's P38 Lightnings and the Jagdflieger's Bf 109Gs for dominance over North Africa and the Mediterranean.USAAF fighter pilots experienced a baptism of fire when flying the technically advanced but fragile P-38 Lightning over North Africa in the wake of 1942's Operation Torch. Their opponents were battle-hardened jagdflieger of the Jadgwaffe, flying the tried and tested Bf 109 in its very lastest Gustav iteration. Responsible primarily for escorting USAAF bombers attacking Afrika Korps installations in Tunisia, the P-38 units in North Africa had to develop effective tactics to defend the bombers against Luftwaffe fighter attacks. For several months the Lightning squadrons had to also cope with shortages of aircraft and spare parts, steady losses and a lack of replacement pilots. To survive, American aviators had to learn quickly. While it is difficult to definitively attribute victories in air combat, in the air battles over Tunisia and later over Sicily and Italy, the claims made by Lightning pilots were comparable to Luftwaffe claims for P-38s destroyed. Edward M. Young turns his attention to the bitterly fought air war in North Africa and the Mediterranean in 1942-43. Using original archival sources, official records and first-hand accounts from both USAAF and Luftwaffe veterans, as well as newly commissioned artwork and 50 carefully selected photographs from official and personal archives, this book sees two of the most iconic piston-engined fighters of their era pitted head-to-head for control of the skies in a key theatre of World War II.
