In this much-lauded memoir, acclaimed for its blend of literary elegance and political passion, Rossana Rossanda, a legendary figure on the Italian left, reflects on a life of radical commitment. Active as a communist militant in the Italian Resistance against fascism during World War Two, Rossanda rose rapidly in its aftermath, becoming editor of the Communist Party weekly paper and a member of parliament. Initially a party loyalist, she was critical of the party's conservatism in the face of new radical movements and moved into opposition during the late 1960s. The breach widened after she and others publicly opposed the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, and were expelled in 1969. She went on to help found the influential paper il manifesto, which remains the most critical daily in Berlusconi's Italy. Her unique experience enables her to reconstruct that period with flair and authority. She paints a revealing picture of fascism, communism, post-war reconstruction and the revolts that shook Europe in the 1960s. In The Comrade from Milan, one of the most influential intellectuals of the European Left relives the storms of the twentieth century. Both cool-headed and precise, Rossanda provides a rare insight into what it once meant to be politically engaged.
Alfie Dog, the founder of the Pet Dogs' Democratic Party and champion of the rights of the underdog, brings you 'Alfie's Diary - Dog enough not to be human, human enough to be a pet.' Alfie has written his diary as an internet blog since the age of 10 weeks old, developing a growing, loyal reader base and has now pulled together the best of the first year of his diary in book form. His diary presents an entertaining and thought provoking dog's eye view of the world. His book follows his considerations of career options for dogs and his concerns that discrimination legislation needs to be extended to cover his species. He dismisses the usual occupations for Swiss Mountain Dogs, based primarily on his dislike for both bad weather and hard work and instead sets himself up as the self styled leader of his own political party. Alfie is not slow to spot opportunities and even at this tender age has identified marketing opportunities including his own range of T shirts, with slogans such as 'Isn't everyone wearing dog hair this season?', 'Minimum wage for working dogs' and 'Every dog must have his say'. Whilst growing up in Belgium he has travelled around a number of European countries. His unique blend of observational humour and satire enables him to highlight the peculiarities of the different nationalities of humans that he finds in everyday life around him and he is more than happy to comment on their idiosyncrasies. Alfie is depressed by the state of education of 'the dog on the street'. He is concerned that most of his fellow kind are simply trained to obey and are not provided with the tools to think for themselves. He is endearing, playful and not afraid to poke fun at everything and everyone around him, including his owners and is certainly not afraid to laugh at himself. Sadly, Alfie is never destined to have puppies of his own and he talks frankly and at times candidly about his disappointment and about the medical problems that have caused this situation. In researching his family tree he expresses concern about the close relationship of some of his ancestors. Behind all of this Alfie talks about all the normal processes of growing up in what he regards as a slightly crazy household, together with the insecurities and emotions faced by any young puppy. Through his revelations, his humour and his pathos, Alfie will make you laugh and at times make you cry. Most of all he will leave you wanting to meet him and find out whether the Pet Dogs' Democratic Party has had any of its policies adopted by the other political parties now that he has moved back to England.

Eric Ambler's first six novels released between 1936 and 1940 quickly established his reputation as a master craftsman of intrigue and espionage narratives. Far less often discussed are the twelve Cold War novels he published, after an eleven-year hiatus as a screenwriter, between 1951 and 1981. This study argues that his entire corpus manifests late modernism's impulse toward a broadly social, political, and cultural critique of the times. Ambler's fiction from the mid-1950s onward is also remarkable for its ludic turn as he assesses the self-deceptions of an increasingly bureaucratized and media-focused world blind to its own follies. In these later works can be seen elements of what has come to be known as postmodernism, though in his commitment to chronicling the juggernaut of modernity he remains a uniquely independent witness of what is now being called the long twentieth century.
