The Lights of Alborada

When Nino, an Italian World War II POW in a Texan camp, receives word that his love, Zita, is set to marry another man in just 40 days, he vows to escape from the camp and return home before the marriage can take place. Idealistic and ambitious, Nino sets off on a breathless chase across the U.S. and is soon joined on his odyssey by an enigmatic Army lieutenant and a young prostitute. Together they face a series of extraordinary dangers, from wild forest animals to unexploded mines, and, as their journey progresses, Nino finds himself assailed by doubts and questioning his own motives—as well as those of the people around him. At once a romantic adventure and a thrilling wartime escape story, with a colorful cast of characters, this is also the story of a spiritual quest and a heartrending exercise in nostalgia.

"New York is a city you must behold not only with your eyes but also with your heart" Stefano LucchiniThe idea for this book got its spark two years ago when the author bought a curious photo album. The film contained fleeting snapshots of a New York that never sleeps, from the southern tip of Manhattan north past Central Park.The images serve to create a perfect homage to the grand metropolis, demonstrating its vibrancy despite being shot in black and white, and revealing a melting pot of different people, realities and sentiments."This book is a beautiful assortment of previously unknown photographs. Though each picture evokes a different aspect of the city, the collection as a whole reflects New York s endless creative energies and aspirations" Gay Talese
