A Journey in Other Worlds
What did our ancestors dream of when they gazed up at the stars and looked beyond the present? Wildly imaginative but grounded in reasoned scientific speculation, A Journey in Other Worlds races far ahead of the nineteenth century to imagine what life would be like in the year 2000. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Earth is effectively a corporate technocracy, with big businesses using incredible advances in science to improve life on the planet as a whole. Seeking other planets habitable for the growing human population, the spaceship Callisto, powered by an antigravitational force known as apergy, embarks on a momentous tour of the solar system. Jupiter proves to be a wilderness paradise, full of threatening beasts and landscapes of inspired beauty, where the explorers must fight for their lives. Dangers less tangible but equally deadly await the Callisto crew on Saturn, which yields profound secrets about their fate and the ultimate destiny of mankind. Thoughtful, adventurous, and replete with a dazzling array of futuristic devices, A Journey in Other Worlds is a classic, unforgettable story of utopias and humankind’s restless exploration of the stars.

How To Be an Antiracist
In How To Be An Antiracist Ibram X. Kendi, one of the world's most influential scholars on racism, demolishes the idea of a post-racial society, punctures the myths and taboos that cloud our understanding of racism and presents a radically new approach to tackling it.
He shows how everyone is, at times, complicit in maintaining the structure of racism though we rarely realise it, and gives us the tools to identify and change those behaviours.
Uncompromising but essential, How To Be An Antiracist sparked a new conversation about being an antiracist around the world, showing that until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem.

The Longest Journey
Rickie Elliot, a sensitive and congenitally lame young man, orphaned at the age of 15, escapes from the misery of suburban life and the bullying of public school to Cambridge, where, like Forster himself, he finds sympathetic friends, chief amongst them Ansell, a grocer's son. He has literary aspirations (his short stories, Arcadian pastoral fantasies, are remarkably like Forster's own), but is also attracted by Agnes Pembroke, the conventional but beautiful sister of a schoolmaster friend and protector, and by her handsome, athletic, ex-bully fiancé Gerald.

I Wanna Be An Influencer (Bilingual edition)
I wanna be an Influencer is a photographic journey that maps out the new geography of places based on the choices of influencers, a social category that has become an undisputed reference point over the last decade for marketing any type of product, from clothing to cosmetics, travel and new destinations.
The author particularly reflects on one of the aspects that characterizes tourism in the time of Instagram. Destinations that are already well-known or completely unknown become sought-after, inducing a mass of aspiring influencers to adopt the same poses and behaviour because and as long as they are Instagrammable.
A kaleidoscope of images, taken behind the scenes of a real community that aims for the immediate sharing of experiences in old and new "elsewheres" and of places whose meaning has changed. Unlikely poses and daring shots are captured by the author's attentive and amused eye. The photographs are accompanied by texts by experts in the field (Beatrice Avallone, Vincenzo Nocifora, Benedetta Donato), who analyse a phenomenon of our time, which we witness daily on the social network Instagram.
