Doch ihre Meisterwerke haben einen Preis, dessen düstere Tragweite Louise nicht ahnt. Wie lange kann sie ihr Doppelleben im Schatten der Kathedralen geheim halten, während der gnadenlose Ketzerjäger Konrad von Marburg ihr auf den Fersen ist?

Long before Paris, even long before Zsa Zsa, there was Alice. Theodore Roosevelt’s eldest daughter was known for drinking, smoking, and gambling. She was rarely found without her pistol, her copy of the Constitution, or her pet snake. She was charming and witty and, despite her antics, she was America’s princess. Based on true, historical events, Crowded Hours is the story of the fierce tribalism and savage rivalry that defined the complicated Roosevelt family, told from Alice’s perspective. It is a story for American history buffs, for those who yearn to know more about our nation’s past.

Il podcast "Dedicato ai Cattivi" nasce con la volontà di far crollare la barriera che ci allontana dai testi classici.

Quindi respingiamo tutti quei titoli più o meno conosciuti che incontriamo durante la nostra crescita, li rispettiamo se veniamo interpellati in merito, ma il più delle volte non li indaghiamo mai veramente a fondo. Per il suo lavoro, l'attore Francesco Montanari è obbligato a conoscerli e scardinarli fino al midollo.
