La Biblioteca dei Libri Liberi

A Portico di Romagna è nata una bellissima iniziativa culturale: una biblioteca con migliaia di volumi fondata sul book sharing, ovvero sulla condivisione dei libri che sono liberamente accessibili: i lettori possono portarli a casa e, se vogliono, possono portare in cambio altri volumi (non mancano, naturalmente, libri registrati nel bookcrossing). Un invito, quindi, alla lettura e alla circolazione dei testi (in qualsiasi lingua) che si svolge in una cornice decisamente appropriata: la biblioteca si trova vicino a Palazzo Portinari, residenza della celebre famiglia cui apparteneva la Beatrice dantesca. La biblioteca, che svolge varie attività di animazione culturale, è anche la sede del Centro Italiano Storytelling, iniziativa di respiro internazionale le cui attività si svolgono proprio in questo suggestivo borgo medievale.

La biblioteca è aperta tutti i giorni

He has drafted an “Anti-Manifesto” of the “Neon-avant-garde” that offers plenty of stimuli for those who aspire to speak to the audience through renewed expressive modes. The key points of Pozzoni’s Manifesto are the following: – challenging nomadic capitalisms and multinational authorities...

The Two Faces of Tolstoy

  Tolstoy: The Genius of War and Peace and the Moralist "Mess" Post- Anna Karenina ___________________________________ Leo Tolstoy is a writer whose greatness needs no introduction. The human condition is painted with extraordinary depth and power in War and Peace (1867). Contrary to what our contemporary image of Tolstoy might suggest, War and Peace is not a pacifist manifesto at all. The idle Russian bourgeoisie, immersed in balls, philosophical discussions, and socialites, is incapable of perceiving the gravity of the Napoleonic invasion; only the defeat and the horror of Austerlitz awaken the protagonists' humanity, allowing them to understand the meaning of existence (both individual and collective) in a Russia threatened by destruction. It is in this confrontation with necessity that Tolstoy is a genius: Napoleon is not an imaginary tyrant, but a man of flesh and blood; Russia is not a mere stage, it is life, it is the motherland. War is not a game, it i...
