In this new issue of the column dedicated to books recently released or soon to be published, I highlight four quite different works: an old essay, a historical book, a novel and a comic book. Maelzel's Chess Player by Edgar Allan Poe Maelzel's chess playerJewel of nineteenth-century journalism, this short essay by Poe investigates a true enigma: who is (or what is) the Turk, the famous automaton and chess player created in 1770 by Baron von Kempelen for Maria Theresa of Austria and then passed into the hands of Maelzel who brought it to the United States.
Who is he, really: a machine, a magic to a scam? Maelzel's chess player Mursia 80 pages January 2012 Armir – The tragic adventure of the Italian Army in Russia by Emilio Vio Sopranis Armir - The tragic Special Data adventure of the Italian Army in RussiaThe Russian Campaign, before, during and after in the story of one of the protagonists, Emilio Vio Sopranis, subordinate officer of the 3rd Bersaglieri Regiment of the 3rd Speed Division «Prince Amedeo Duke of Aosta», returning from imprisonment in camp n. 160 of Suzdal.
A live reconstruction of what was a tragedy: of the 235,000 men who formed the ARMIR (Italian Army in Russia) only 50% returned to Italy, the fallen and missing were around 85,000 of which, between 1945 and In 1954, just over 10,000 officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers were repatriated from captivity.
