MEETING OF 19 FEBRUARY

heated discussion on:

" A Hat Full of Cherries "

Oriana Fallaci published by Rizzoli.

many conflicting opinions on the work's posthumous Oriana Fallaci that belongs to the genre of family saga, as she wrote on the cover of the folder of the original manuscript came to the heirs, where has planted a lot of imagination on a towel arrivatole oral tradition from their parents, uncles, grandparents, and she turned into a novel with the help of a long, difficult and painstaking search of accurate biographical data on his ancestors to enable it to reconstruct the family tree all the way up to about mid-1700.
The result is there to see, indeed to read: in spite of eight hundred pages to get to the last page in one go. Any moments of pause or decline are sidelined because the pace and ability to captivate the reader prevail.

Fallaci is not classified among historians, but we must recognize that events in personal grandparents, great grandparents, grandparents, arcavoli of OF have the right to tell almost three centuries of history, Italic, and not just so captivating, making them easy to remember and difficult parts less than when we were forced to study at school.
His books have always been discussed and this is no exception. Have often been inspired by personal experiences or news stories from its intimate, as was the case with "A man " and " Letter to a Child Never Born .

great journalist, one of the few women in this profession in years of absolute male monopoly, he was admired throughout the world. The event of September 11 2001 that shocked the U.S. and the West, gave it to OF a position of absolute intransigence against the Islamic culture, the last of his writings caused controversy and debate, including processes, so much so that some of his unconditional admirers lined up on opposite sides . How can we forget the exchange of letters with Tiziano Terzani?
disease that made her suffer in recent years - died in 2006 - and the attack on the Twin Towers have certainly prevented the conclusion of the immense personal work begun in 1990 (and perhaps earlier).

Oriana Fallaci invites us to reflect: we must be able to live with death, because we live knowing that we must die, without death there would be - paradoxically - their lives.
The shape and style, not always uniformly affected by the lack of a final draft that, for the most careful readers, seemed fairly obvious, but not to an unacceptable degree.

voices in dissonance talked about commercial publishing operation, display of confusion: the group is reading this too. Everyone says their own, while respecting dell'opinone of others, collective harmony, each time with the desire and conviction to find himself going a month later for a new stimulating debate, as will occur in:

next meeting of March 17

when we read: "THE ROAD" by Cormac McCarthy - publisher Einaudi

FRANCESCO COMMENTA UN CAPPELLO PIENO DI CILIEGE

Dear friends,

pending the usual post for the last meeting of February 19, we anticipate in this regard, the thought of Francis.

E 'Cathy Zani, "sharp and brilliant," who in 1785 married Charles Fallaci, "sweet and mediocre," the condition that he would teach her to read and write, the figure that looms in the story Fallaci branch. It 's you, a descendant of an ancestor, Hildebrand, burned as a heretic in 500, to bring an outrageous hat full of cherries to market Reschen to be recognized by the future husband. The admiration for this country intolerant of the constraints of class (sumptuary laws), the taxation of the Church, abuses reflected in Napoleonic watermark through the story of Fallaci. For Oriana, girl, there's a chest in the testimonies of the yearning for knowledge as the only means to escape from ignorance nailing the lower classes and the condition of subjection to 'social immobility. Nell'excursus time between the marriage in 1785 and the death of two arcavoli in the neighborhood of 1840 pass before us the Tuscan countryside, the social life of the peasants, the story of the Grand Duchy, but also the atrocities of the Inquisition and the meanness of civilian institutions, religious bigotry . And in the enjoyment of the story takes, in my opinion, the author believes that the certainty of Catherine geniuses have been transmitted until you get to be part of his DNA.
The sea is the protagonist of fate and tragedy of the second branch, that of graduates, of which Francis eyes "shiny, funds, beaten and charged with a terrible sadness is the figure of reference. Because the sea has lost his father, held in slavery in Barbary. Goes to sea to appease his desire for revenge twenty years, going to cut the throats of 20 died on the beaches of Algiers. E 'for the sea that meets the beautiful Montserrat, and secret illegitimate daughter of a English grandee. E 'on the sea as lucky as boatswain slave trader. Finally, it is the sea that lost her four children in a shipwreck. Oriana speaks with awe of this branch, as by this unfortunate and unhappy couples were derived all that has happened to the evil in life. But this class also allows you to show us the shame and tribulations of the Nazarenes, the slaves on which thriving cities of North Africa, and later on black slavery to the Americas. And we live with this branch Finally, the story of a normal social injustice, with the complicity of the Church, deprived of the rights of social recognition and love from the fruits of unlawful noble caste.
E 'poverty to mark the third branch, that of Cantini, gardeners, stored in a hovel in Livorno. John tries to get out of doing the replacement soldier to eat meat, have a uniform with shoes and sleep in a bed with sheets. Wellness pays the risk of life passing massacre massacre in the Napoleonic wars. Oriana admits that companies with Napoleon, however, are the new ideas circulating daughters of the revolution. I happened to visit the tomb of Nappa in Paris, grand and celebratory, and I could not help but wonder if these ideas were really needed to spread a megalomaniac murderer of millions of young lives taken by the conscription in all occupied countries. But this is another long speech. Meanwhile, the Risorgimento ideas of freedom, progress, unity, independence, social redemption spread strongly in Italy and Europe and won both his son John, who later Giobatta. More violence from wars and massacres which both come out losers and disappointed. The review of our history of the Risorgimento is formidable, with the advantage of them out of scholarly discourse in which we learned at school, worried about bad grades unless remember the dates. Here you hear the bubbling ideas, people move and shake, bullets whistling and the characters act, suffer and sometimes laugh, maybe for a wedding or a secret club Carbonaro, but also degrade the brutal actions of which she , a descendant, he is ashamed.
At this point it is half of the book, because the whole second part is occupied by the Fourth Branch: The Ferrier. But I think this is also a point of break between the chorus and the protagonist of the first part of Anastasia, in the second Part, which will tell the story to its tragic end at the end of the book. Here the family legends become more novel, where psychology, adventures, passions and tragedy surround the plot to "Life" of M. Mazzucco and "A. Karenina "by Tolstoy.
Oriana has decided to write this book, long thought, when the "bad sore" began to mark the inexorable countdown of his life. Pulling wires Arianna has unraveled four games of fate and chance that led to his coming to the world. He rummaged in personality and in the lives of its arcavoli to understand itself in light of their stories and pass the witness. We have seen from the mouth of the proscenium compelling representations of places, times, facts and ideas where even our arcavoli of moving, perhaps crossing or sharing the fate of his own.
