    • Bret Easton Ellis is most famous for his era-defining novel American Psycho and its terrifying anti-hero, Patrick Bateman. With that book, and many times since, Ellis proved himself to be one of the world's most fearless and clear-sighted observers of society - the glittering surface and the darkness beneath. In White, his first work of non-fiction, Ellis offers a wide-ranging exploration of what the hell is going on right now. He tells personal stories from his own life. He writes with razor-sharp precision about the music, movies, books and TV he loves and hates. He examines the ways our culture, politics and relationships have changed over the last four decades. He talks about social media, Hollywood celebrities and Donald Trump. Ellis considers conflicting positions without flinching and adheres to no status quo. His forthright views are powered by a fervent belief in artistic freedom and freedom of speech. Candid, funny, entertaining and blisteringly honest, he offers opinions that are impossible to ignore and certain to provoke. What he values above all is the truth. 'The culture at large seemed to encourage discourse,' he writes, 'but what it really wanted to do was shut down the individual.' Bret Easton Ellis will not be shut down.

      Dopo un interminabile viaggio nelle terre più remote del mondo conosciuto, peil mago Taita e il fedele Meren è tempo di far ritorno in Egitto. La loramata patria è afflitta da piaghe senza fine: sulle regioni del Nilo, gistremate da lunghi anni senza esondazioni, si è abbattuto il flagello dellpeste, che non ha risparmiato neppure i figli del faraone Nefer Seti. E mentri nemici di sempre tramano per mettere le mani sul regno, su di esso piomba una nuova, penosa calamità: il fiume, da sempre fonte di vita e di prosperità,si è ridotto a una catena di pozze fangose del colore del sangue. Uno scenario drammatico in cui, impalpabile come la tela di un ragno velenoso, si diffonde il culto di una nuova, misteriosa dea dagli straordinari poteri. Un culto che sta affondando i suoi artigli nel seno stesso della famiglia reale. Disperato,il faraone chiede a Taita di rimettersi in cammino. Solo il grande stregone,forte dei nuovi poteri ottenuti grazie agli arcani riti custoditi nella lontana Asia, ha qualche speranza di scoprire e sconfiggere la minaccia che si annida alle fonti del Nilo. Ha così inizio un pericoloso viaggio lungo il maestoso letto del fiume, nel quale alle insidie che minacciano la spedizione si aggiunge la sfida letale del mago con le forze oscure in agguato fuori e anche dentro di sé.
