Title :
La Casa del Leone. Il romanzo di Solimano il MagnificoAuthor: De Bellaigue Christopher Publisher: EDT Venezia, 1522. Il Gran Consiglio della Repubblica si riunisce per ascoltare le ultime informazioni provenienti da Istanbul: il Sultano ottomano, il 'Gran Turco', ha tutto ciò che gli serve per scatenare una guerra totale. Entro la fine del decennio, una vasta area dell'Europa sarà sotto il dominio musulmano. Utilizzando le tecniche di un romanzo, La casa del leone, scritto quasi interamente al presente, racconta un dramma coinvolgente di spionaggio e di potere internazionale nell'Europa del XVI secolo - un'epoca in cui la grande paura della cristianità era Solimano il Magnifico, che contendeva all'Imperatore del Sacro Romano Impero il titolo di 'Sovrano del Mondo', e il suo terrificante comandante pirata Barbarossa. Oscillando fra le stanze private e il campo di battaglia, tra lo splendore e la ferocia, il libro richiama con sorprendente immediatezza le paure e gli stratagemmi dei vari mediatori, diplomatici e concubine che furono portati da tutto il mondo alla corte di Solimano e nell'orbita del suo immenso potere. La casa del leone non è solo la storia di superpotenze europee rivali in un duello esistenziale, né dell'ascesa a un vertiginoso potere dell'uomo che da solo ha governato sia l'Occidente che l'Oriente, ma una storia intima e senza tempo del potere stesso. € 22,00

Title :
Patriot of PersiaAuthor: de Bellaigue Christopher Publisher: Perennial The Economist’s Tehran correspondent Christopher de Bellaigue brings to light the never-before-told full story of one of the great anti-colonial heroes of the twentieth century: Muhammad Mossadegh, the great Iranian leader whose untimely demise resulted in the Islamic Revolution of 1979, and a man who has been demonized, ridiculed, and misunderstood in the West while remaining an icon and an inspiration across the Middle East. Patriot of Persia, the first biography exploring his life and impact, opens a crucial new window into Mossadegh—whose role in the evolution of Iran’s political climate cannot be overemphasized—providing a resource that will prove equally invaluable to academics, newshounds, and activists as they struggle to understand Mideast politics, Iran, Ahmadinejad, and the future of the region—and the world. € 15,20

Title :
Rebel LandAuthor: de Bellaigue Christopher Publisher: Penguin Group USA 'A finely written, brave, and very personal book.' -Orhan Pamuk In 2001, Christopher de Bellaigue wrote a story for The New York Review of Books, in which he briefly discussed the killing and deportation of half a million Armenians from Turkey in 1915. These massacres, he suggested, were best understood as part of the struggles that attended the end of the Ottoman Empire. Upon publication, the Review was besieged with letters asserting that this was not war but genocide. How had he gotten it so wrong? De Bellaigue set out for Turkey's troubled southeast to discover what really happened. What emerged is both an intellectual detective story and a reckoning with memory and identity. Rebel Land unravels the enigma of the Turkish twentieth century-a time that contains the death of an empire, the founding of a nation, and the near extinction of a people. € 14,30

Title :
Terra ribelle. Viaggio fra i dimenticati della storia turcaAuthor: Bellaigue Christopher de Publisher: EDT Christopher de Bellaigue a metà degli anni Novanta è uno dei più giovani e brillanti inviati della stampa europea in Turchia: vive tra Ankara e Istanbul, godendo dell'ambiente moderno e laico di queste città e scrivendo eleganti reportage. Una serie di circostanze lo spinge un giorno a domandarsi se questa immagine corrisponda veramente alla realtà del Paese: un articolo scritto per una rivista newyorkese nel quale accenna al problema del genocidio armeno suscita infatti nei lettori una reazione di tale violenza da fargli intuire che al di sotto di questa superficie si nascondano gravissimi problemi storici e politici irrisolti. Decide così di indagare e si trasferisce a Varto, una piccola cittadina dell'Anatolia orientale, cuore di quella terra ribelle in cui 'la storia moderna non è mai arrivata' e su cui ancora grava il retaggio delle grandi tragedie del passato. Per oltre un anno de Bellaigue parla con i residenti, interroga funzionari e incontra agenti segreti, si inserisce nei diversi ambienti sociali, descrive il rapporto fra le istituzioni e le minoranze etniche, ricostruisce la storia della regione, vola persino in Germania per incontrare gli esuli. È da questo angolo visuale che riesce a squarciare il velo dell'omertà che gli abitanti di questa regione si sono imposti e che il regime turco incoraggia quando non impone: attraverso il racconto di una miriade di storie riporta così alla luce le tracce di un passato tragico che nessuno riesce a dimenticare. € 22,00

Title :
Rebel LandAuthor: de Bellaigue Christopher Publisher: Penguin Group USA An esteemed journalist travels to Turkey to investigate the legacy of the Armenian genocide and the quest for Kurdish statehood. In 2001, Christopher de Bellaigue, then the Economist's correspondent in Istanbul, wrote a piece about the history of Turkey for The New York Review of Books. In it, he briefly discussed the killing and deportation of half a million Armenians in 1915. These massacres, he suggested, were best understood as part of the struggles that attended the end of the Ottoman empire. After the story was published, the magazine was besieged with letters. This wasn't war, the correspondents said; it was genocide. And the death toll was not half a million but three times that many. De Bellaigue was mortified. How had he gotten it so wrong? He went back to Turkey, but found that the national archives had sealed all documents pertaining to those times. Undeterred and armed with a stack of contraband histories, he set out to the conflicted southeastern Turkish city of Varto to discover what had really happened. There, de Bellaigue found a place in which the centuries-old conflict among Turks, Armenians, and Kurds was still very much alive. His government escort began their association by marching with him arm in arm through the town's shopping district to show his presence; the local police chief, sent by the central office in Ankara to keep an eye on the Kurds, was sure he was a spy. He found houses built from the ruins of old Armenian churches, young boys playing soccer with old skulls, and a cast of villagers who all seemed unwilling to talk. What emerges is both an intellectual detective story and a reckoning with memory and identity that brings to life the basic conflicts of the Middle East: between statehood and religion, imperial borders and ethnic identity. Combining a deeply informed view of the area's history with the testimonials of the townspeople who slowly come to trust him, de Bellaigue unravels the enigma of the Turkish twentieth century, a time that contains the death of an empire, the founding of a nation, and the near extinction of a people. Rebel Land exposes the historical and emotional fault lines that lie behind many of today's headlines: about Turkey and its faltering bid for membership into the EU, about the Kurds and their bid for nationhood, and the Armenians' campaign for genocide recognition. € 19,70

Title :
The Struggle for IranAuthor: de Bellaigue Christopher Publisher: New York Review of Books When Christopher de Bellaigue first visited Iran in 1999, he found it irresistably alive: under the leadership of President Mohammad Khatami, Islamic revolutionary rule was loosening and the prospects for democratic pluralism seemed bright. But over the remaining six years of Khatami's presidency, de Bellaigue watched as the conservative religious establishment reasserted its power and the hopes of reform slowly died. The country seemed to turn its back on all that Khatami stood for when it elected an unsophisticated Islamist ideologue, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to succeed him in 2005. As the optimism of the reform movement was fading, international tensions over Iran's nuclear program were rising. George W. Bush included Iran in the 'axis of evil,' depicting it as a malign theocracy determined to acquire nuclear weapons and threaten Israel. Yet de Bellaigue's accounts of the nuclear negotiations make clear that the West's opposition to Iranian nuclear ambitions has helped both to empower those who oppose democratic reform and perhaps even to convince Iran it needs nuclear weapons for self-defense. Beyond the high political drama, de Bellaigue, a long-term resident of Tehran and a fluent Persian speaker, gives a sense of the complexities of Iranian culture and society through striking portraits of Iranians going about their daily lives—reading the poetry of Rumi, looking at modern art, making films under the threat of censorship, trying to get by despite domestic turmoil and military threats. His keen analyses of Iran's politics and its people offer fascinating insights into a often misunderstood nation that poses some of the most challenging problems facing the world today. € 20,50

Title :
In the Rose Garden of the MartyrsAuthor: Bellaigue Christopher De Publisher: Perennial The history of Iran in the late twentieth century is a chronicle of religious fervor and violent change -- from the Islamic Revolution that ousted the Shah in favor of a rigid fundamentalist government to the bloody eight-year war with Saddam Hussein's Iraq. But what happened to the hostage-takers, the suicidal holy warriors, the martyrs, and the mullahs responsible for the now moribund revolution? Is modern Iran a society at peace with itself and the world, or truly a dangerous spoke in the 'Axis of Evil'? Christopher de Bellaigue, a Western journalist married to an Iranian woman and a longtime resident of a prosperous suburb of Tehran, offers a stunning insider's view of a culture hitherto hidden from American eyes, and reveals the true hearts and minds of an extraordinary people. € 13,40
