From the acclaimed author of The Waters of Eternal Youth, Commissario Guido Brunetti dredges up dark secrets from Italy's anti-Semitic past in his captivating eleventh case. Mystery lovers everywhere are addicted to Donna Leon's ever-honorable Commissario Guido Brunetti and her portrayal of Venice's beautiful but sinister byways and canals. In Willful Behavior, Brunetti is approached for a favor by one of his wife's students. Intelligent and serious , Claudia Leonardo asks for his help in obtaining a pardon for a crime once committed by her now-dead grandfather. Brunetti thinks little of it-until Claudia is found dead. Soon, another corpse and an extraordinary art collection lead Brunetti to long-buried secrets of Nazi collaboration and the exploitation of Italian Jews-secrets few in Italy want revealed.

For Commissario Guido Brunetti it began with an early morning phone call. A sudden act of vandalism had just been committed in the chill Venetian dawn, a rock thrown in anger through the window of a building. But soon Brunetti finds that the perpetrator is no petty criminal. For the culprit waiting to be apprehended at the scene of the crime is none other than Paola Brunetti, his wife.

Who put the cyanide in the Maestro's drink? Guido Brunetti, Venice's genius detective, finds more suspects than clues as a picture of depravity and revenge emerges from his investigation, leaving him torn as to what the law can do, and what needs to be done.

Para niños de 3 a 9 años, los cuentos y relatos se utilizan para abordar trastornos de conducta infantil, atendiendo a las inclinaciones y necesidades de los niños. A los niños les encantan los cuentos, y de ellos pueden aprender. Al igual que los héroes de las historias, los niños aprenden a superar dificultades, reducir miedos y resolver problemas. Por ejemplo, Martin deja de lado su miedo a los perros en su viaje onírico con los perritos enanos. Vera aprende a mantener el orden en el país del desorden. Liesi, la gatita, descubre lo perjudicial que es morderse las uñas para las gatas saludables, y una flor mágica ayuda a la princesa a tener una cama seca. Sin presión, los cuentos motivan a los niños a cambiar su comportamiento. Cada uno de los más de veinte problemas tratados tiene su propia historia. Para poner en práctica las sugerencias, los niños necesitan la ayuda y orientación de adultos, información que los padres pueden encontrar en la introducción y en los comentarios posteriores a las historias.

Secondo Ned, veterano del Circus e istruttore delle spie del dopo Muro di Berlino, nessuno meglio di George Smiley può tenere ai suoi allievi il discorso di commiato. "Una spia è una spia a dispetto di tutto" comincia a dire Smiley. Da lì in poi i suoi ricordi da "visitatore segreto" si intrecciano con quelli di Ned: il Pericolo Rosso, l'Africa e l'Asia in tumulto, gli eroi e i traditori, il rischio e il sospetto. Un universo di storie che illuminano il fattore umano del lavoro di "intelligence", facendo tornare a vivere gli uomini che hanno costruito l'epopea segreta della guerra fredda. Il Muro ormai è caduto, ma il mondo non è inquieto come prima, ha bisogno di nuove spie... Aprendo uno spiraglio sullo scenario internazionale contemporaneo, le Carré conclude l'amara e splendida epopea di Smiley. Un romanzo indimenticabile. Un protagonista che è già leggenda.
