[Italian] - Il richiamo del corvo Audiobook

"Dal maestro della narrativa d'avventura, un romanzo appassionante sul destino e la brutalità della natura umana. Un'eredità rubata. Un amore proibito. Una sete di vendetta così bruciante che potrebbe distruggere ogni cosa. Figlio di un influente proprietario terriero della Virginia, Mungo St John ha sempre dato per scontati la ricchezza e il lusso in cui è vissuto grazie ai privilegi di cui godeva la sua famiglia. Finché non riceve la notizia che il padre è morto e, una volta tornato a casa dall'università, scopre che il subdolo Chester Marion, l'avvocato che da sempre si occupa delle proprietà dei St John, li ha mandati in rovina e si è appropriato con l'inganno della sua eredità e di tutto ciò che gli spetta di diritto. E come se non bastasse ha costretto Camilla, la giovane schiava di cui lui è innamorato da sempre, a diventare sua amante. Spinto dalla rabbia e dall'amore, Mungo giura di vendicarsi e da quel momento in poi dedica la propria esistenza a distruggere Marion... e a salvare Camilla. Mentre lei, che in quanto schiava non ha modo di sottrarsi alle angherie del suo brutale padrone, deve piegarsi al proprio destino e imparare a sopravvivere come può, Mungo lotta contro ogni sorta di avversità, spinto dalla sete di vendetta e dalla volontà di riconquistare il proprio status. Ma fino a che punto sarà disposto a spingersi per sopravvivere e ottenere ciò che desidera? Un'avventura travolgente e piena d'azione, che attraverso il passato di uno dei suoi personaggi più controversi, Mungo St John, indimenticabile protagonista di Quando vola il falco, ci racconta della brutalità dello schiavismo in America e della potenza dei sentimenti che possono farci crescere, oppure distruggerci."

Wastelands: The True Story of Farm Country on Trial

"'Beautifully written, impeccably researched, and told with the air of suspense that few writers can handle, Wastelands is a story I wish I had written.' -From the Foreword by John Grisham The once idyllic coastal plain of North Carolina is home to a close-knit, rural community that for more than a generation has battled the polluting practices of large-scale farming taking place in its own backyard. After years of frustration and futility, an impassioned cadre of local residents, led by a team of intrepid and dedicated lawyers, filed a lawsuit against one of the world's most powerful companies-and, miraculously, they won. As vivid and fast-paced as a thriller, Wastelands takes us into the heart of a legal battle over the future of America's farmland and into the lives of the people who found the courage to fight. There is Elsie Herring, the most outspoken of the neighbors, who has endured racial slurs and the threat of a restraining order to tell the story of the waste raining down on her rooftop from the hog operation next door. There is Don Webb, a larger-than-life hog farmer turned grassroots crusader, and Rick Dove, a riverkeeper and erstwhile military judge who has pioneered the use of aerial photography to document the scale of the pollution. There is Woodell McGowan, a quiet man whose quest to redeem his family's ancestral land encourages him to become a better neighbor, and Dr. Steve Wing, a groundbreaking epidemiologist whose work on the health effects of hog waste exposure translates the neighbors' stories into the argot of science. And there is Tom Butler, an environmental savant and hog industry insider whose whistleblowing testimony electrifies the jury. Fighting alongside them in the courtroom is Mona Lisa Wallace, who broke the gender barrier in her small southern town and built a storied legal career out of vanquishing corporate giants, and Mike Kaeske, whose trial skills are second to none. With journalistic rigor and a novelist's instinct for story, Corban Addison's Wastelands captures the inspiring struggle to bring a modern-day monopoly to its knees, to force a once-invincible corporation to change, and to preserve the rights-and restore the heritage-of a long-suffering community."

A Harvest of Thorns

"Corbin Addison explores the human stories behind global labor sourcing in the international fashion industry in this thrilling, shocking and compelling tale. A beloved American corporation with an explosive secret. A disgraced former journalist looking for redemption. A corporate executive with nothing left to lose. In Dhaka, Bangladesh, a garment factory burns to the ground, claiming the lives of hundreds of workers, mostly young women. Amid the rubble, a bystander captures a heart-stopping image-a teenage girl lying in the dirt, her body broken by a multi-story fall, and over her mouth a mask of fabric bearing the label of one of America's largest retailers, Presto Omnishops Corporation. When the photo goes viral, it fans the flames of a decades old controversy about sweatshops, labor rights, and the ethics of globalization. A year later, in Washington, D.C., Joshua Griswold, a disgraced former journalist for the Washington Post, receives an anonymous summons from a corporate whistleblower promising information about Presto. There, to Griswold's astonishment, he meets Cameron Alexander, Presto's long-time general counsel. Alexander, who has secrets of his own, offers Griswold confidential information about Presto's apparel supply chain. For Griswold, the challenge of exposing Presto's willful negligence is irresistible, as is the chance, however slight, at redemption. Deploying his old journalistic skills, he builds a historic case against Presto, setting the stage for a war in the courtroom and in the media that Griswold is determined to win-both to salvage his reputation and to provoke a revolution of conscience in Presto's boardroom that could change the course of the fashion industry across the globe."
