If there’s one kind of person Tank Rizzo hates most in this world, it’s a dirty cop. Criminals are at least honest about being dishonest; dirty cops are a disgrace to the badge they carry. Detective Eddie Kenwood is one such disgrace. He’s got the highest signed-confession rate in the NYPD and a distinguished career built on putting men behind bars - whether they’re guilty or not doesn’t matter much to him. When Tank’s partner, Pearl, tells him about an old family friend Kenwood put in jail for a murder he didn’t commit, Tank and Pearl vow to take Kenwood down.

The Spiritual Combat is considered one of the two greatest ascetic classics, the other being The Imitation of Christ. The authors of both are shrouded in mystery. There are many 17th-century editions which have the name Spanish Benedictine, John of Castanzia. Some Jesuit writers have ascribed the book to the Jesuit Achilles Gagliardi. However, most critics consider Fr. Lawrence Scupoli the author.

From the singular voices behind Tom and Lorenzo comes the ultimate guide to all-things RuPaul's Drag Race and its influence on modern LGBTQ culture. Legendary Children centers itself around the idea that not only is RuPaul's Drag Race the queerest show in the history of television, but that RuPaul and company devised a show that serves as an actual museum of queer cultural and social history, drawing on queer traditions and the work of legendary figures going back nearly a century.

"Sapere o ignorare sono forme simmetriche di salvezza." È in questo dittico contraddittorio e duellante l'innesco del racconto di Lorenzo Tosa. E l'inchiesta privata e corale su Bruno, suo padre, morto suicida il 2 aprile 1986, non può che partire dall'ultimo giorno e dalle ultime ore trascorse insieme. Lorenzo aveva solo due anni e mezzo, non può ricordarle ma può ricostruirle e in parte immaginarle, e da lì avviarsi nel lungo e tortuoso viaggio per ricomporre i pezzi di una storia finora taciuta, in un'operazione di omissione concordata messa in atto dalla sua famiglia.

Napoli è la città meno equilibrata del mondo. È una metropoli complessa, piena di sfaccettature, è più città in una: un miscuglio di colori e di stati d'animo, di stili architettonici e classi sociali, di sapori dolci e salati, pastiera e pizza, sfogliatella e ragù, di musica antica e neomelodica, di fede e scaramanzia. Come fare allora a catturare le sue mille anime? Acuto osservatore dei piccoli e grandi fatti di cronaca della sua città, Lorenzo Marone sceglie di raccontare Napoli a modo suo, lasciandosi sorprendere da ciò che gli accade intorno.

Salvation and spiritual perfection should not be sought haphazardly; a strategy is needed to win the battle for our souls. The Spiritual Combat, first published in 1589, provides timeless guidance in spiritual discipline.

First published in 1948, Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks is an important Marxist work that says we must understand societies both in terms of their economic relationships and their cultural beliefs. Gramsci wanted to explore why Russia had undergone a socialist revolution in 1917 while other European countries had not. So he developed the concept of hegemony, which is the idea that those who hold power in a society can maintain and use that power because of their own grip on cultural values and economic relationships.
