In 1952 an Umbrian artist scandalized art critics worldwide with burned wood, flame-red paintings, dramatic combustions of plastics, and a black that was the color of tar: his name was Alberto Burri (Citta di Castello 1915 - Nice 1995), one of the greatest artists of all times. This book sets out to reveal many of his works that have remained unknown until today.

District Attorney Varga is shot dead. Then Judge Sanza is killed. Then Judge Azar. Are these random murders, or part of a conspiracy? Inspector Rogas thinks he might know, but as soon as he makes progress he is transferred and encouraged to pin the crimes on the Left. And yet how committed are the cynical, fashionable, comfortable revolutionaries to revolution—or anything? Who is doing what to whom? Equal Danger is set in an imaginary country, one that seems all too real. It is the most extreme—and gripping—depiction of the politics of paranoia by Leonardo Sciascia, master of the metaphysical detective novel.

How art has evolved from the Soviet era through modern Russia. The Way of Enthusiasts is a translation of the name of the Moscow landmark Shosse Entuziastov, an avenue that connects the city center to the residential districts. The romantic and impassioned foundations that were laid under this name in the 1920s-as well as the urban environment it designated-gradually changed as the Soviet social project evolved. The book features spatial commentaries by Russian artists over the last few decades and uses urban and architectural material as a parallel narrative to contextualize and depict the patterns underlying artistic practices since the shift from the Soviet era to a post-ideological society.

The recent exhibitions dedicated to Botticelli around the world show, more than ever, the significant and continued debate about the artist. Botticelli Past and Present engages with this debate. The book comprises four thematic parts, spanning four centuries of Botticelli’s artistic fame and reception from the fifteenth century. Each part comprises a number of essays and includes a short introduction which positions them within the wider scholarly literature on Botticelli. The parts are organised chronologically beginning with discussion of the artist and his working practice in his own time, moving onto the progressive rediscovery of his work from the late eighteenth to the turn of the twentieth century, through to his enduring impact on contemporary art and design. Expertly written by researchers and eminent art historians and richly illustrated throughout, the broad range of essays in this book make a valuable contribution to Botticelli studies.
