Sembrerebbe un caso irrisolvibile, ma a condurre le indagini c'è il Maggiore Hayashi, un ufficiale della Kempeitai determinato a trovare l'assassino, anche a costo di isolare l'intero edificio e di sottoporre i sospettati a privazioni e interrogatori sempre più duri. Sullo sfondo della Shanghai degli anni Trenta, Xiao Bai costruisce un noir ricco di colpi di scena in cui tutto è in divenire e nulla è come sembra, e racconta i giorni dell'isolamento facendo muovere i personaggi in uno spazio chiuso che assume la forma di un palcoscenico."Isolati (Orientalia, 2024, 184 pagine), il nuovo romanzo breve di Xiao Bai 小白, tradotto da Riccardo Moratto con la sua solita precisione e attenzione ai dettagli, è un susseguirsi di sorprese.

Professor Inderjeet Parmar discusses U.S. Empire and how America is on the brink of a serious abyss, though it still remains very powerful. On one level there is a resurgent triumphalism in the West, and on another there are a deep series of crises both in Washington and of the globalized order. We see a rise of the Global South and "in-system powers"which are not part of the West. He discusses the consensus building project of the core elites and knowledge network or "empire of the mind," the U.S.-China relationship, how U.S. Empire has viewed China as a great asset to the Western world since the 1950s and how Beijing has emerged as a major power under the auspices of the West. Ruling classes of different countries get together as cartels due to shared interests. Multipolarity is messy but has had a democratizing effect.

“Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous.” Thus begins Guenter Lewy’s latest book, Perpetrators: The World of the Holocaust Killers (Oxford University Press, 2017), a welcome attempt to challenge the idea that all Nazi perpetrators were the same, and that they were all driven by the same bass motivations. Largely a synthesis of material previously only available in German, Lewy presents a typology of perpetrator types and dispels the idea that it was impossible for killers to walk away. He also presents arguably the most accessible analysis of the post-war justice available in English. Undoubtedly a must-read for anyone wishing to understand how and why people participate in acts of mass violence. Darren O’Byrne is a PhD student in History at Cambridge University. His dissertation, Political Civil Servants and the German Administration under Nazism, explores the dynamics of Civil Service behaviour under National Socialism, asking why senior administrators assisted the regime in pursuit of its ideological goals.

Rebecca Williams‘ book Muhammad and the Supernatural: Medieval Arab Views (Routledge, 2013) is one of the newest additions to the Routledge Studies in Classic Islam series. Despite the Qur'anic proclamation that the only “miracle” which served as proof of Muhammad's propethood was the Qur'an itself, miracles and supernatural events have been ascribed to Muhammad in numerous Islamic literary and intellectual genres. Professor Williams, of the University of South Alabama, delivers a unique and fresh look at the supernatural in Islam. Restricting her analysis to the works of Qur'anic exegesis and the biography, she focuses on four events in the life of Muhammad. Muhammad's conception, his first occasion of public preaching, a vignette concerning a warning sent by one of Muhammad's followers to the residents of Mecca prior to an attack, and a failed assassination attempt upon Muhammad's life each contain some type of supernatural occurrence. Each of these events is connected to an important theme for Muslims in the medieval era, sex, politics, betrayal, and wrath, respectively. Professor William's fascinating comparative investigation of the treatment of these supernatural occasions demonstrates important similarities and differences between these two scholars. Moreover, the reader becomes conscious of the milieu in which each scholar constructed their texts. While this is a significant contribution to the field of the study of Islam, the topics addressed are of great benefit to scholars of literature and folklore and its contents are accessible to a wide spectrum of readers.
