In the company of books
I started to read at six years and now I have seventy. I never stopped. "The first home " defines them Sandor Marai.
Books have always marked the history of my life, and through them, rebuild my biography.
from six to fourteen years have been accompanied by Scala D'Oro, an imprint that publishes classics from Utet reduced for children. The protagonists of Treasure, Bertoldo , the Children of Captain Grant, Siegfried, were my heroes.
I married young to a man who considered the book that weighed items. I had engineer to buy the classics that interest me. I wanted my library.
was the time of Bacchelli , Palazzeschi, Pirandello, Proust.
My wedding turned out to be very unhappy. I then took refuge in Joyce (Molly memorable monologue), and especially in Kafka, who more than any other match my moods. It was the 60s and it was hard to get out of a state of misery bed.
We managed to fatigue.
course, all the events that followed led me to cultivate different readings.
was falling in love for Pasolini, Calvino, Gadda, Freud, Canetti. Each went in the direction of my life, each giving his contribution to my loneliness, my melancholy, to my growth.
Strindberg's discovery was a shock. To focus on the game at the ruthless slaughter that is consumed in the relationship "love" between a man and a woman. Highlighted the fragility of the male in front of a subtle and perverse behavior of female. Corresponded to what I discovered as I did in the experiences .
When suffering and loss of loved man came into my life, books were valuable support to meditate and accept, to give an answer to so much pain and silent rebellion.
As you can tell the role of each book?
I grew more and more I needed it. And when I fall in love, becomes an absolute love that he wants only, it is communicated and shared, as the great loves.
But who loves books knows all this, just as those who love, forever, a man or a woman.
