Inventare storie con i Tarocchi

Inventing stories with tarot cards

Overview:
How can the Tarot help those who wish to invent stories? Here is the complete manual. The Tarot comprises the Major and Minor Arcana, and is usually seen as a 'game' or divination, but it can also be useful for those who want to write a story or novel. The Major Arcana illustrate different characters and characteristics, which combined with a particular method of writing can almost single-handedly 'create' a story that works. Authors regularly use this method in creative writing courses, and through numerous examples and exercises they make it available to those who want to delve deeper into it, use it... or even just those who are curious about this unexpected and imaginative use of their Tarot deck.

Storia del pensiero sulla guerra e la pace dalla Bibbia al Jihadismo. La complessità geopolitica del XXI secolo

History of Thought on War and Peace from the Bible to Jihadism. The geopolitical complexity of the 21st century

Overview:
This century, which began with the tragic event of 11 September, is increasingly expressing a geopolitical scenario of high complexity on a strategic, conflictual, socio-environmental, economic and political-institutional level. A geopolitical complexity aggravated in recent times by the dramatic and 'epochal' outcome of the Afghan affair, by the escalation of the crises with Russia and China, and by the Covid pandemic, which is inevitably also expressing relevant geopolitical values. Santomartino with this book sets himself the certainly ambitious aim of offering a useful contribution to confronting, understanding or at least being able to 'read' the geopolitical complexity of the 21st century. The proposed path starts from the analysis of the thought on war and peace in the Bible, Sun Tzu, St. Augustine, Kant, Hobbes, Clausewitz and others up to the contemporary age and the studies of 'Peace Research'. Preface by Roberto Bernardini.

Scrivere con stile – Manuale avanzato di scrittura con esempi, esercizi, approfondimenti

Writing with style - Advanced writing manual with examples, exercises, insights

Overview:
Style is the set of those choices that allow a writer to supervise and represent stories in a certain way, because there are many ways to narrate: Flaubert, Manzoni, Austen, Tolkien, George R. R. Martin, Pavese, Stephen King, and many others, have imprinted in their extraordinary works a recognizable and unforgettable mark, the result of an accurate stylistic research in which they have been able to combine technique and personality. All writers can do the same, because style is not only artistic instinct or creative anarchy, it is also lucid and precise reasoning, strengthened by the study of syntactic and compositional norms, by the analysis of punctuation marks and their function, by reflection on the effectiveness of words, by accurate work on the rhetorical level, by in-depth study of the stylistic features of individual literary genres, by creative reading of the texts of the Great authors, all combined with artistic and personal development thanks to constant practice. This manual is designed to give the reader the keys to work on their own writing style, with awareness and effectiveness.

Conoscere e contrastare il jihadismo

Knowing and fighting jihadism

Overview:
In the last few years an endless literature has been consolidated on themes such as Islamic fundamentalism, radical Islamism, Islamic extremism, jihadism, terrorism of Islamic matrix, but most of these treatises, especially at a media level but often also at a specialist, institutional or research center level, are actually limited to treating, albeit brilliantly, the most evident and extreme external manifestations (epiphenomena) (attacks, threat proclamations, Foreign Fighters, violent videos etc.) associated with these phenomena. ) associated to such phenomena. There are few treatises that thoroughly analyze the thought, the ideologies, the strategies, the doctrines that, albeit with various interpretative distortions, constitute the true "prime mover" of Islamic extremism and its deviant phenomena (jihadism and its terrorist derivations).
The purpose of this work is not to propose an umpteenth treatment of Islamic terrorism, but to start a path of knowledge of ideologies, thought, strategies at the basis or related to such deviant phenomena in the belief that this is the only valid premise for any initiative of analysis, comparison, defense and contrast to such deviant phenomena.

I Templari - Tra Fede, Malicidio e Leggenda

The Templars - Between Faith, Malicide and Legend

Overview:
Templars... and the thought goes to brave men, tough, who fought in the name of the Lord in the hot lands "d'Outremer" having as an insignia the red cross, symbol of the blood of Christ.
The Templars were this and much more. Knights Monks who fought the infidels to redeem them from their sin. And, thanks to the rule dictated by Bernard of Clairvaux, by killing the evil within them they performed a "Malicide", thus saving their souls.
Digging in the ruins of the Temple of Solomon, what did they find?
The Holy Grail? The famous relic heads? The treasure of Solomon? The tomb of Chiram, the architect of the Temple, a skull and two bones that went on to form the "Jolly Roger" flag of piracy?
The fascination of the Templars lies in the obscure meanders of history, in the symbols, in the legends that were created about their origins and the movements of thought that derived from them.
The fires that were lit all over Europe did not succeed in eliminating them, but the ashes of their bodies sprouted on the fertile soil of Time until they became Myth.
