br. Ha mille nomi e mille volti, ma nessuno l'ha mai visto veramente in faccia. È ovunque, ma in pochi se ne accorgono. È spietato, ma affascinante. È pericoloso, ma inevitabile. Seduce e conquista. Contro di lui o si vince o si perde. Non lascia scampo. Anche nell'epoca degli smartphone e della globalizzazione il diavolo esiste. Lotta, sussurra e vive in mezzo a noi. La Chiesa lo chiama per nome e contro di lui ha giurato battaglia. Una battaglia senza tregua, all'ultimo sangue, che si combatte ogni giorno sulla pelle degli indemoniati. Una battaglia che David Murgia ci racconta da queste pagine, in un viaggio oltre le nuove frontiere dello spiritismo, verso mondi bui e paralleli, confortato da testimonianze e documenti che svelano luci e ombre dell'esistenza del Nemico e della forza della Grazia.

brossura Il merito di questo libro è di offrire un panorama della materia sulla base delle fonti, e, quindi, della dottrina, e di una esemplificazione che comprende tempi e paesi diversi. Il testo fondamentale al quale il Guaccio si ispirò fu il Malleus maleficarum del terribile monaco domenicano Jacob Sprenger, mandato da Innocenzo VIII in Germania nel 1489 ad affermarvi la potenza del Tribunale dell'Inquisizione, in nome di Roma. Altra fonte dell'opera è la Disquisitiones magicae del gesuita Martin del Rio, pubblicato nel 1589, che si distingue rispetto all'altro per un maggior buon senso e un invito alla moderazione nell'uso, allora insostituibile, della tortura. La posizione del Guaccio sembra porsi a metà strada tra quelle dei suoi maestri. La lettura del libro può oggi offrire un quadro abbastanza esatto e preciso del modo in cui allora si ponevano queste questioni.
ill., br. Questo è un libro che intende soprattutto basarsi sui dati oggettivi della storia e raccontare alcuni aspetti della città subalpina che spesso sono guardati senza tener conto della realtà, ma lasciandosi esclusivamente trascinare dal mito. Nel libro si cerca di raccontare obiettivamente fatti, luoghi e figure in cui quel complesso che definiamo genericamente "mistero", ha trovato il modo per entrare, spintonando qua e là, nella storia. Senza pretendere di avere la verità in tasca, ma con la precisa consapevolezza che quasi sempre è possibile separare la realtà dalla fantasia, l'autore analizza una serie di fatti tipici della mitologia che contrassegna la cosiddetta "Torino magica". Si parla naturalmente del diavolo, indagando sugli aspetti che hanno contribuito a fare del capoluogo del Piemonte la sua presunta "capitale": per capire qualcosa sull'origine di questa scelta ci si avvale soprattutto della sociologia, lasciando a latere aspetti legati al satanismo, messe nere, patti diabolici...
