First published in 1948, Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks is an important Marxist work that says we must understand societies both in terms of their economic relationships and their cultural beliefs. Gramsci wanted to explore why Russia had undergone a socialist revolution in 1917 while other European countries had not. So he developed the concept of hegemony, which is the idea that those who hold power in a society can maintain and use that power because of their own grip on cultural values and economic relationships.

Un varón de mediana edad aparece desnudo y brutalmente asesinado en una solitaria playa de Formentera. Según varios testimonios recogidos por la Guardia Civil de las islas, en los días previos se lo había visto en compañía de distintos jóvenes en locales de ambiente gay de Ibiza.

Brontolone, cinico, pigro, bugiardo: è così che si potrebbe descrivere Cesare Annunziata. Come quella volta in cui, per attaccare bottone con la sua futura moglie, si era inventato di possedere una collezione di scatolette di fiammiferi per poi essere costretto per oltre cinquant’anni a collezionarle davvero. Ormai vedovo e ottantenne, con mille acciacchi e le giornate vuote, Cesare si trova ad affrontare un agosto in città. Nel condominio al Vomero sono rimasti in pochi.

El primer caso de la ya famosa pareja, Bevilacqua y la agente Chamorro. El cuerpo desnudo de una joven austriaca pende atado de las manos en un chalet mallorquín. Ni los signos de violencia, ni la pestilencia de una muerte estival ocultan su inquietante belleza. En el revólver hallado en la basura abundan las huellas de una sesentona suiza de fama libertina, pero la vida turbia de la joven, Eva Heydrich —un ser irresistible consagrado tanto al placer como a la destrucción—, sugiere que la sencillez del crimen es tan sólo la punta de un iceberg.

Un probable ajuste de cuentas entre criminales en medio de un campo deportivo. La violación y el asesinato de una niña a cargo, al parecer, de un pariente cercano. La muerte de un donjuán en el seno de una comunidad de inmigrantes.
