On March 5, 2007, Daniele Mastrogiacomo, foreign news correspondent on assignment in Kandahar, his driver and his interpreter were captured by the Taliban. His captors threatened to execute him if Italy did not immediately withdraw its troops from Afghanistan. When Italy refused this demand, the driver, twenty-five-year-old Sayed Agha, was decapitated before Mastrogiacomo's eyes. A video of this horrifying event was shown around the world, and Mastrogiacomo spent the rest of his time in captivity convinced that a similar fate would soon befall him. His jail, however, was not a dark room hidden away in some urban periphery, but a kind of open-air prison: to escape detection, his captors dragged him from village to village, through opium plantations, along dusty roads and over rugged mountains, from one end of Afghanistan to the other. It was a captivity that consisted in a continuous and nerve-racking confrontation with a world that bore no resemblance to that which he had ever known. Indeed, the ultimate significance of this book lies in its author's ability to draw from his experience not only a hostage's tale of captivity but also a story that lies at the heart of the eternal human drama: that of a man's encounter with The Other. As brilliantly crafted as a first-rate suspense novel and with the kind of emotional impact associated with the best literary fiction, Mastrogiacomo's story of courage and tenacity in the face of imminent danger is unforgettable.

Knowledge Forbidden To Humanity

By: Daniele Villa

A one-of-a-kind book that will forever change the way those who read it see the world! On the trail of a mysterious energy hidden from humanity, in search of clues that prove its existence, unexpected revelations are discovered that could also explain the functioning of architectures of the past that were never understood.A one-of-a-kind book! On the trail of a mysterious energy hidden from humanity, in search of clues that prove its existence, unexpected revelations are discovered that could also explain the functioning of architectures of the past that were never understood. From Castel del Monte in Italy to the Sardinian Nuraghi, passing through the Great Pyramid to Stonehenge, new theories revealed for the first time in the world. What did Ettore Majorana, Wilhelm Reich, Pierluigi Ighina, Nikola Tesla have in common? Mythologies of the past from Atlantis to Greece, biblical stories and declassified top secret documents. Real events hidden from humanity. Everything incredibly leads back to the same track. Mysterious energetic forces surround and feed what is found in the universe, passing a large amount of knowledge to the different peoples who have welcomed and exploited them since ancient times. Alignments, high intensity zones, UFOs, powerful weapons, space travel, time and science fiction movie situations. Yet there are proofs and traces that everything existed, even if the truths of these energies have always been hidden, so as not to allow humanity to take possession of them. If you knew how to use them, would life on Earth have a better end? Man must know.Translator: Nevia Ferrara
