The attempt is clearly to pay homage to the character and the work. The incipit of the first episode will be a tribute to A ballad of the salty sea, one of the most famous stories of the character, although this adventure did not take place in the Caribbean. The TV series will tell stories inspired by Corto’s first adventures in the Caribbean, and fans will be able to find historical figures such as Rasputin, Madame Java, Bocca Dorata, Morgana, Tarao. The rights are now managed by Cong Pratt, which continues to publish stories of the sailor and adventurer born in 1887, entrusting them to other authors. Who is Corto MalteseĬorto Maltese is the protagonist of a series of comic stories written and drawn by Hugo Pratt starting from 1967.

If the rescuers could remain committed to making a difference while under the boot of the Nazi regime, we surely have something to learn from them about taking a stand against injustices, about maintaining an open heart, and about not giving in or giving up. ![]() What emerges is both a window to the past and a vision for the future. Inspired by their willingness to risk everything to help others during the war, the author became deeply interested in what the rescuers have done with their lives since, and where their moral compasses point today.

So speaks rescuer Hetty Voûte in The Heart Has Reasons, a remarkable book that provides both a fresh look at the "righteous gentiles," and a meditation on what they might have to teach us more than half a century after they defied Hitler. ![]() ![]() "You can't let people be treated in an inhuman way around you.

His sf work consistently reflected both his professional training and his place of residence: much of it is set in the outdoors of the US Southwest, and most of his characters are deeply involved in outdoor activities. Oliver was born in Ohio but spent most of his life in Texas, where he took his MA at the University of Texas (his 1952 thesis, "They Builded a Tower", being an early academic study of sf) he then took a PhD in Anthropology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and became professor of anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin, where he remained in some capacity until his death.
