An anthology of stories on crime in Malta, Falling in Eden, More Histories

Description

In the first volume of this new series, Giovanni Bonello exposes some of Malta’s grimmer and grimier stories. Selected and collated from his vast repertoire of history writing, here is an anthology of anecdotes that presents a potent mix of humanity, crime and creativity, illustrating some of the most haunting (and hopeful) questions concerning the human condition: Why do humans err? What is it that drives a human being over the edge, to think the unthinkable, to carry out the undoable, and to record the unsayable?

With this new series, More Histories, former judge of the European Court of Human Rights, Giovanni Bonello, continues his mission to record and recount Malta’s fascinating microhistory through six thematic volumes.
