Diary of a psychopath
Author: Stefano Vignaroli
Publisher: Tektime
ISBN: 8835455936
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Deputy commissioner Caterina Ruggeri is a forty career policewoman from the Marche region in charge of the homicide section of the Ancona Police Headquarters. Together with Commissioner Sergio Adinolfi of Senigallia, an experienced ”criminal profiler,” she chases a psychopathic serial killer by interpreting strange traces scattered at the scenes of his crimes. A challenge in the dark for Dr. Ruggeri, who will have to investigate very close to her family circle. We have reached the third adventure of Commissioner Caterina Ruggeri, the now well-known policewoman from the Marche region, beloved by her loyal readership. At her side is a new colleague, Commissioner Sergio Adinolfi of Senigallia, an expert ”criminal profiler,” with whom she must chase a psychopathic serial killer. At one point Caterina almost succumbs to her colleague's charms, but the progress of the story cannot leave room for love affairs. A challenge in the dark for Commissioner Caterina Ruggeri, who will find herself involved in the most introspective of her adventures. Indeed, she will discover that the murderer is closer to her than anyone dares to imagine, perhaps a member of her own family. She will have to dig into her past and her unconscious to get to the solution, but just when it seems to be within reach, here come new twists and turns to turn the tables. It seems that the psychopath enjoys creating embarrassing situations on purpose for our policewoman, who, pressed by the quaestor, magistrate and journalists, must quickly come to a plausible conclusion. Will she succeed? Let's leave that to the reader, who will happily rediscover characters already known from the Commissioner's past adventures and intriguing new characters who emerge in this new episode. Above all, however, the reading will open windows to reflect on some burning issues, particularly the dramas that more or less veiledly can be consumed even within ordinary families. And we are not just talking about violence or sexual abuse, but about all those conflicts and tensions that occur within the family, which children and adolescents often witness and which mark their lives forever, even if adults completely miss these dynamics. A warning, in short, to parents, to try to make their children live, as peaceful a childhood as possible, which will propel them into a calibrated and responsible adulthood. As usual, there is no shortage of references to local history and traditions, giving in certain sections a light and pleasant edge to the reading, creating a break from the description of grisly crimes. In this new investigation we find a Catherine, still impulsive yes, but perhaps a bit more reflective, more mature. After all, advancing age and family responsibilities create changes in behavior and character in each of us, and she certainly is not immune to that either. What matters is her intelligence and intuition, which, with the help of her collaborators and her usual dog, Fury, constantly lead her to successfully solve her investigations.

The Nuremberg Trials: Volume I
Author: Terry Burrows

ISBN: 1838577653
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
The Nuremberg trials were the most important criminal hearings ever held, charging Nazi leaders with war crimes and crimes against humanity under international law. 20 high-ranking Nazi officials were brought to justice in the first of these trials, including Hermann Goering, Albert Speer and Rudolf Hess, and the full horror of their actions were announced on the world stage. Terry Burrows gives a detailed account of these trials, using shocking excerpts from the original transcripts. We hear chilling admissions from the accused as well as harrowing testimonies from victims of the Nazi regime. These atrocities include: • The devastating events of the Holocaust and its architects • The 'medical experiments' in Auschwitz and Block 46 in Buchenwald • Forced labor and economic pillaging in France, Denmark, Norway, Poland, the Netherlands and the Soviet Union. The Nuremberg Trials not only provides insight into the Nazi regime during World War II but also the court proceedings which marked a turning point in international law.

Westminster Diary: Volume 2
Author: Bernard Donoughue
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786732688
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
As New Labour's first period of government picks up steam, we find Bernard Donoughue working as a minister at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing and Food. In this, the second volume of Donoughue's House of Lords diaries, he chronicles his experiences - often frustrating, often hilarious - serving in the early years of Blair's government, as he attempts to modernise MAFF by expanding its interests more broadly in rural affairs. It outlines Donoughue's role in the EU's agricultural policy, including as the UK minister at the Agriculture Council as well as his unofficial role in the lead-up to the Good Friday agreement. As with all Donoughue's diaries, the book sheds a spotlight on the daily trials and tribulations of life in Westminster, told with trademark waspish wit, insight and humour.

Mirages
Author: Anaïs Nin
Publisher: Ohio University Press
ISBN: 0804040575
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
Mirages opens at the dawn of World War II, when Anaïs Nin fled Paris, where she lived for fifteen years with her husband, banker Hugh Guiler, and ends in 1947 when she meets the man who would be “the One,” the lover who would satisfy her insatiable hunger for connection. In the middle looms a period Nin describes as “hell,” during which she experiences a kind of erotic madness, a delirium that fuels her search for love. As a child suffering abandonment by her father, Anaïs wrote, “Close your eyes to the ugly things,” and, against a horrifying backdrop of war and death, Nin combats the world’s darkness with her own search for light. Mirages collects, for the first time, the story that was cut from all of Nin’s other published diaries, particularly volumes 3 and 4 of The Diary of Anaïs Nin, which cover the same time period. It is the long-awaited successor to the previous unexpurgated diaries Henry and June, Incest, Fire, and Nearer the Moon. Mirages answers the questions Nin readers have been asking for decades: What led to the demise of Nin’s love affair with Henry Miller? Just how troubled was her marriage to Hugh Guiler? What is the story behind Nin’s “children,” the effeminate young men she seemed to collect at will? Mirages is a deeply personal story of heartbreak, despair, desperation, carnage, and deep mourning, but it is also one of courage, persistence, evolution, and redemption that reaches beyond the personal to the universal.
