First of all, the original name of the publishing house was restored - Corbaccio, whose origin dates back to 1923 - and one of the most prestigious series, that of "Writers from all over the world", was relaunched. For this purpose, two of the most significant books of the twentieth century were chosen: The enchanted mountain by Thomas Mann, in the translation by Ervinio Pocar, and Journey to the end of the night by Céline, retranslated for the occasion by Ernesto Ferrero. Other series have been resumed and relaunched, such as the one of extreme adventure, "Exploits", of which emblematic titles are remembered such as Secret Tibet and Japanese Hours by Fosco Maraini, Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, Endurance by Lansing, La Montagna a modo mio di Messner, The "Historical Series" directed by Sergio Romano, who was able to combine academic historiography and high-level dissemination and which includes authors such as Guido Krapp, Pierre Milza and Mirella Serri. Contemporary fiction that is divided into two strands: "Narratori Corbaccio", with a particular vocation for the historical novel, and which is developing the genre of the psycothriller with Charlotte Link and Wulf Dorn, and "Romance", oriented towards the narrative of feelings with authors such as Diana Gabaldon and Jody Picoult; the “Books of wellbeing”, which include new trends in the areas of costume, psychology, psychophysical wellbeing; “Stronger Than Hatred” featuring the books of Torey Hayden, the teacher of impossible cases; "On the side of women" which deals with women's problems in the family, personal and work and which presents intense testimonies from countries devastated by war and exploitation; the “Prophecies” which approach the great themes of archeology in an alternative key; the “New Age”, a phenomenon that marked the end of the millennium in an incisive way and had its most significant and lasting expression in the Prophecy of Celestine. www.corbaccio.it Editorial director Cecilia Perucci Copyright © 2011 Messaggerie Italiane Spa Corso Sempione 4, 20154 Milan VAT number 06778170156 Privacy Policy | Legal notes Credits: Aleide Web Agency THE GROUP Profile and Mission Structure of the Group Corporate Governance History AREAS OF ACTIVITY Distribution and Commerce of Books Publishing Books - GeMS Distribution of Periodicals Other Activities PRESENCE ON THE WEB THE SCHOOL LIBRAI UEM History Profile and Mission The Organizing Committee CONTACTS
