WhaiWhai combines history and fantasy, allowing readers to step into a story that plays out inside the city, sparking their curiosity and making them the hero of an adventure. In Florence: 2054 on a day in late October, twenty unidentified flying objects hover through the sky above Florence and fly over the city's most famous monuments for fifteen minutes. While everyone leans their heads back and stares, no one realizes what's really happening. The extraterrestrials are contacting someone, Cosimo Rinaldi, a Florentine who is also an expert on the city. From that moment on, he dedicates his life to searching for a meteorite that fell to Earth nine hundred years before; this meteorite is a sacred artifact for the alien visitors. More than fifty years later, Cosimo dies mysteriously. Finding the key to the mystery has now been thrust upon Alfredo, a young man who was a member of Cosimo's UFO club and had been intrigued by Cosimo's silence for some time. He is convinced that Florence, as home to the greatest figures of the Renaissance, is a unique, extraordinary city - and that the explanation for this is not entirely rational. Suddenly Alfredo disappears. Where did he end up? Who can complete his search? What did those aliens want back in 1954? Why indeed was Florence the cradle of the Renaissance?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. H. Gombrich's Little History of the World, though written in 1935, has become one of the treasures of historical writing since its first publication in English in 2005. The Yale edition alone has now sold over half a million copies, and the book is available worldwide in almost thirty languages.

The two hundred illustrations—most of them in full color—are not simple embellishments, though they are beautiful. They emerge from the text, enrich the author's intention, and deepen the pleasure of reading this remarkable work. For this edition the text is reset in a spacious format, flowing around illustrations that range from paintings to line drawings, emblems, motifs, and symbols. The book incorporates freshly drawn maps, a revised preface, and a new index. Blending high-grade design, fine paper, and classic binding, this is both a sumptuous gift book and an enhanced edition of a timeless account of human history.
