Storia: A Journey Through Life and Places By: Alberto Rizzotti Thirty years in the making, Storia is much more than a simple memoir. Author Alberto Rizzotti’s intention is to represent a lifetime of experiences in the context of his emotions. From birth to semi-retirement, he has much to share with regard to adventure, mischief, and achievements, but it’s his open door into his thinking and his most personal feelings that make this book stand out. Rizzotti has struggled with exposing himself to such a degree, opening up to the most intimate of disclosures, but ultimately, he wanted to be true, especially to himself. The writing of Storia is undoubtedly the most effective way for him to do just that, to state emphatically, Like it or not, this is who I am.

There is no dearth of news, not always of the most cheerful sort, coming out of the broad geographic arc of the vast territory that once constituted the mighty Ottoman Empire. The Arab Spring continues to reshape regions, an economic crisis is tearing apart Greece, pirates off the Horn of Africa are terrorizing ships, and conflicts in the Caucasus and Balkans are simmering. In Echoes of Empire: An Accidental Historian's Journey through the Post-Ottoman World, James S. Kessler chronicles his travels through a dizzying array of cultures, religions, languages, and political systems found within many of the former Ottoman Empire's possessions in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Drawing upon his experience as a historian and educator, Kessler explores how the shared Ottoman past-and how that past is remembered-continues to play a role in the post-imperial present in the more than forty countries that constitute the post-Ottoman world.
