About The Revelation of Katsushika Hokusai, The Artist:
It seems as if everything is over, and the treacherous gods have won.
The world, once so lively, noisy, and melodious, is now gone, and dead silence reigns. However, the mother of the Universe, chained within the depths of Mount Fuji by the immortals-her husband and their monstrous children-still sings the eternal song of Woman, which lies at the core of everything and whose truth still echoes, despite everything the gods have done to silence it. No mortal can hear it except for the extraordinary child on whom the fate of the world now depends.
The child was born deaf, and his parents left him in the wild to die since, according to the repugnant laws of the gods, his very existence is blasphemous and cursed: the Law demands that people hear and obey. He survives-not by luck, but by the will of a mysterious legendary figure; a believer in the feminine principle who sets in motion a series of events that saves him from death and sends him into life with a purpose and the ability to achieve it. Without knowing how or why and guided by his instinct and the spirit of the mother goddess alive within him, the time comes when he must face the immortals.
The literary fantasy The Revelation of Katsushika Hokusai the Artist is set in a mostly mythical Japan and plays (as all myths do) with the archetypal forces that shape the path from darkness to light via dramatic conflict, imaginative fight scenes, and a story of love that reaches its purest expression in the form of the Goddess Izanami.
Besides narrating the story, a basic intention of the book is that its narrative ‘voice’ should energise the language, as Japanese lacquer does to objects, deepening it and giving it ‘skin, flesh, and bones’. The book’s illustrations by the award-winning artistic duo Kalos&Klio amalgamate this ‘voice’, beautifully translated to English from the original Greek by Steve Lever, with the manifestations of a visible soul.

Wonders In The Deep: A Tale of Healing by Chuck Carr
Love. Loss. Hope. Heroism. Is there safe passage through the torrents and storms of life?
Wonders In the Deep is a dramatic illustration, an emotionally charged depiction of the elements that keep us human, fuel our spirit, and give us the courage to continue.
The life of eighteen-year-old Brandon Lawrence is one riddled with questions. Pained sore inside, he seeks answers that have been swallowed deeply by his own grandfather, whom he lovingly calls Pap. How did his parents and grandmother die? Why does his grandfather resent Natalie, Brandon’s best friend since childhood? Why is he forbidden to step foot on a boat, to ride the waves of the sea? Will he ever find answers?
Pap’s journals. Could they hold the secrets?
Set in the rocky and rugged coastline of Maine, the story uncovers Brandon’s world in the summer of 1998. The 1930s and 40s of his grandfather’s world are now over, along with the flat plains of a corn-belted Illinois town he had decided to leave as a young man. What had happened to cause a man to run from a life he couldn’t handle? What had turned Pap into a man withdrawn from life? A man holding tight to the secrets of his life.
Sitting alone on the same weathered dock Brandon had come to with Pap every Thursday growing up, he tries to piece together the puzzle of an unspoken life. Face to face with the only solution he knows, he must choose between honor and answers; an act of thievery plagues him hard, haunting and jolting his conscience. If his grandfather is too brokenhearted to speak of such things, could Brandon steal the answers he needs from the journals?
Wonders In the Deep is a soothing balm, medicine to a hurting and wounded soul. Faced with the harsh realities of grief and loss, two men embark on a great journey to find healing in the deep and uncertain oceans of life. As you journey with Brandon and Pap, you may identify with their struggles.
Is there true triumph over adversity? How far will one go for answers? How far will you go?

About The Last Italian: A saga in Three Parts by Anthony Delstretto:
The Last Italian: A Saga in Three Parts begins in 1882 Italy and spans six decades of personal, cultural, and political tumult. In their determined rise from obscurity, three generations of the Como and Vacci families defy landholders’ greed, grim epidemics, foreign enemies, ethnic violence, and the brutality of Mussolini’s fascist state. As the characters balance love, loyalty, and ambition against the harsh demands of survival, inscrutable fortuna stands ready to roughly intervene. This edition contains the entire trilogy.
I. God’s Teeth (1882-1886) Love, jealousy, murder, vendetta — all in the time of cholera. Then the brigands strike!
II. Fate’s Restless Feet (1911-1913) They were told Tripoli would be a glorious colonial conquest. Instead, the horror in a cactus labyrinth that awaits leads to a final reckoning — five thousand miles away.
III. Death to the Wolf (1942-1945) When the Germans withdraw and Italian lines shatter near Stalingrad, survival in a howling wasteland — and revenge — become the only goals. At home, the embattled family, divided like Italia itself, faces its moment of truth.
