I had the pleasure (and honor), at the conference Women, language and language policies from 0.28 to 29 January 2010, Ca 'Foscari, Dorsoduro Barter House, Venice, to which she has participated as a rapporteur to prepare the essay on sexism in language that, hopefully would please, please find attached: will be published in the June, 2010 by Do Tell Scriverenella magazine section of Style.
I am also delighted to announce that from today on Youtube is the Book Trailer for my first novel storicoHimilce the wife of Hannibal (presented at the Turin Book Fair in 2008 and distributed by RCS, 600 copies sold in December 2007) made with music by WA Mozart (Requiem, Dies Irae) to the following address; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lbrf7iPd6_o
and that the Book Trailer for my second historical novel Tomyris the lady of the tiger (presented Turin Book Fair 2009, with soundtrack by Giuseppe Verdi, Messa da Requiem, Tuba Mirum Spargens Sonum) it may find the following new address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhIf2e60Zgo
Being two novels in which the protagonists are heroines of old, struggling to establish itself in a rigidly patriarchal society (Himilce is the wife of the great leader Punic, which refuses to live confined to a subordinate role compared to her husband, while the queen Caucasian Tomyris not hesitate to challenge on the battlefield, the King of King Cyrus the Great, who invaded his land), I have reasonable grounds to believe that will arouse your interest.
Yours saluti.Guglielmo Colombero
