The kings depart on a dangerous, inspiring mission, emboldened only by their confidence, not knowing where the star's light might terminate.What or who could be of such magnitude as to alter the heavens? Lacking knowledge, they indulge in speculation. They wish. They hope. But their speculation is personal, without basis, and has nothing whatsoever to do with validating Jewish prophecy. Speculation carries the possibility of being disastrously incorrect.The expedition has journeyed farther than anticipated. A guide would be beneficial. Topur is a diaspora Jew, a merchant, and a seasoned traveler. The kings invite him to join their quest and reap the benefits. Topur is reluctant, unpersuaded that starlight reveals anything meaningful. In addition, the star beckons them toward the menacing Roman Empire. The kings see opportunity; Topur sees doom. Only at his wife's urging does Topur concede to cooperate. With his slave companion, Najiir, he joins a mission that he feels has little chance of success. Topur and Najiir attempt to guide their notable charges past a chaotic Jerusalem while confronting an erratic and sinister King Herod, a scheming royal court, obstinate clerics, and potentially deadly Roman interference. When they reach the starlight's conclusion, they find a wholly unimpressive Bethlehem and a baby with his impoverished parents. This is not the fulfillment anyone expected.

"1Mika, you sit at our feet all these hours and days, hearing us tell our tales.

Loyalty can save a soul—or destroy one.    Franco Fiorvanti is a handsome lemon grower toiling on the estate of a baron. He dreams of owning his own grove, but the rigid class system of Sicily thwarts his ambition. Determined to secure a better future, Franco will do anything to prove his loyalty to the baron.

Scottoline brings her decades of thriller writing to historical fiction, creating in Loyalty a singular novel that no reader will be able to put down.

L'ho conosciuta. Era una ditta postribolare. Il suo soprannome era «Zia». Tutti i ghiottoni di donne clandestine e tutte le donne venderecce si compiacevano di chiamarla «Zia». È morta il cinque marzo, alle quattro pomeridiane del 1902, nella sua abitazione carnimoniale di via Disciplini, 4 confortata dalla religione che l'ha assolta delle turpitudini di mercantessa di depravazione. È spirata come una pia donna che avesse dedicata l'esistenza al culto della preghiera. Nella stanza non c'era traccia del mestiere infame ch'ella aveva esercitato in una città di mezzo milione e più di abitanti animalizzati dalle passioni carnascialesche.

Mimi Bluette fiore del mio giardino

- Perdono! disse Niccolò pieno il volto d'una pietà tenera e malinconica, e di qual colpa v'ho io a conceder perdono, poveri figliuoli miei?... Ah! no.... non è vostra la colpa, ma de' vostri rettori, di quelli che vi dovean difendere e v'hanno abbandonati.... Non avete risposto alle mie parole! Che v'era a rispondere? Ah! lo vedo, lo conosco anch'io che per noi non v'è più rimedio, che siam condannati da Dio.... s'io vi parlava a quel modo, egli è perchè non si può veder disperse le speranze e le fatiche di tutta la vita, non si può veder la patria oppressa, caduta a mano de' nemici e de' traditori, e rimaner muti, coll'occhio asciutto.... ma lo so, lo so, figliuoli; che potete far voi o...

Nel materiale come nel morale converrebbe sempre osservare le cose nel complesso, prima di scendere ai particolari, e osservarle dall'alto il più possibile. Noi pure, accingendoci a delineare le vicende di Milano, contempliamo in prima questa città dalla guglia del Duomo, ponendoci fra quella selva di pinnacoli, sormontanti la maggior mole marmorea d'Europa, la quale desta la meraviglia degli stranieri, e a noi rappresenta la storia di tante gioje e di tanti dolori e la prova delle nostre grandezze passate; e da lontano designandoci il nostro Comune, ci fa battere il cuore per quell'insieme di idee, di affetti, d'interessi, d'abitudini che si compendia nel nome di patria.

Avendo alquanto coltivato la poesia sin da' giovenili anni, e trattone dolcezza, non so cessare d'amarla, e di lasciarmi talvolta da essa ispirare scrivendo i miei più intimi pensieri e sentimenti. Così son nati i versi che oggi m'avventuro di pubblicare, sebbene sia consapevole essere in questi il buon desiderio molto maggiore del merito, e sebbene soglia dirsi nell'età nostra, giovare che gli scrittori italiani gareggiano piuttosto in moltiplicare le buone prose, che in arricchire il tesoro della poesia patria, già cotanto abbondante ed egregio. Non condanno siffatta opinione a favore delle buone prose, le quali pur vorrei vedere aumentarsi ogni giorno nella nostra letteratura, ma diman...

Io mi compiaceva talvolta di raffigurarmi in una grandiosa visione di avvenire, tutto il mondo e tutto il lavoro umano rinnovati e rianimati per il mutamento dei nostri sistemi meccanici, di tutti gli apparecchi che moltiplicano e trasformano il nostro sforzo. Io era portato a scorgere nell'automobile e nel motore che lo avviva il centro di questo vasto cambiamento, l'emblema dei nuovi ordegni che sostituiranno ovunque quelli adoperati finora.

Nella canzone: Amor da che convien, abbiamo potuto seguire il nuovo atteggiamento di Dante. Egli ha un grande amore che lo affascina, quello per la «Sapienza santa» e una «rea» che lo perseguita: la Chiesa corrotta. Vuole parlare del suo amore per la prima in modo che la seconda non possa udire. Ma nello stesso tempo egli vuole ritrovare nella Chiesa, come del resto ha sempre proclamato, quello che c'è in essa di puro e di santo. Pure odiandola nella sua corruzione vuole riguardarla «colà dov'ella è vera», nella speranza di poterle rendere poi, come ha detto altrove, «con amor pace».

Del più bravo tra i Sgherri Romaneschi, Che più d'ogn'altro mentovà se fava, De sentì raccontà non vi rincreschi Quel gran valor, per cui scialante annava Solo, perchè in natali birbanteschi Mostrava un genio nobile mostrava, E gran machine havè in tel cocuzzólo, Le sue grolie cantà me va a fasciolo.

¿ Top! Il cane seguitò per la sua strada, proprio opposta a quella da cui veniva il padrone ¿ Prospero Marzioli ¿ nel tornar a casa. ¿ Top! Al secondo più forte richiamo il bracco dovè ricordarsi del castigo meritato altra volta facendo il sordo: una schioppettata della quale, più che pallini, gli restava addosso una gran paura. Piegò il capo; si fermò un istante, quasi a riflettere; poi accorse. E dimandava grazia con la coda e con gli sguardi. Se non aveva da temer lo schioppo ¿ perchè si trovavano in paese ¿, c'era il bastone non meno spaventevole a rammentarne i colpi; e a vederlo già alzato ¿ misericordia! ¿ si comportò come soleva in tale pericolo. Una tattica tutta sua: s'abbatt...

"Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists."-Franklin D. RooseveltOn September 4, 1907, hatred and intolerance tore Bellingham, Washington, apart at the seams. A brewing labor dispute over the presence of immigrant workers in the lumber mills boiled into unspeakable violence when Caucasian members of the Asiatic Exclusion League attacked Sikhs, dragging them from their homes and beating them without mercy. These victims were savagely robbed of their possessions, their dignity, and any sense of safety in their homes. In the days following the riots, hundreds of South Asian Indians were driven out of town. Hundreds fled to Canada for safe harbor. Hundreds more were incarcerated "for their own protection." None of their white attackers ever saw the inside of a jail cell.A novel inspired by both these tragic events and the inspirational people who risked everything to start new lives in a new and often unwelcoming country, Unbeaten Mind is the story of one family whose patriarch, Nand Johal Singh, emigrated from Punjab, India, to the United States at the turn of the twentieth century. When Nand Singh, his grandson, first learned of his grandfather's involvement in the Bellingham riots, he was horrified and shocked. That shock inspired curiosity, and soon the young man launched himself into an enthusiastic exploration of his personal family history. What he discovered is proof that while a body can be beaten, an honorable mind remains strong, proud, and resilient.
