On several occasions, D.H. Lawrence, in his continuous travels, alone or with his wife Frieda, stayed in Florence. Here he wrote poems that were later included in Birds, Beasts and Flowers. Here he set the most beautiful pages of The Rod of Aaron. But above all, here he wrote Lady Chatterleys Lover. He wrote it in the hills, at Villa Mirenda, where the Lawrences lived, between one escape and another, for two whole years. It was a tormented work, set aside, then taken up again. Written in the woods, under the pine trees, among the swarming lizards and nightingales that seem to enjoy turning the pages. What he himself describes as the most indecent novel ever written is rejected by everyone. It is his friend, the bookseller Pino Orioli, who directs him to the florentine Giuntina printing house to publish it privately. The bitterness is soothed by the harmony that L. finally finds in flowery Tuscany: that harmony he so longed for between nature and mans work; the rhythm of the seasons marked by the farmer who loves his land and the palette of colors of the flowers. Lawrence is ecstatic: The country is truly the most verdant I have ever known, and I feel I know not what consolation. It almost seems that Florence can appease his indomitable vocation for escape. Unfortunately, it will be the worsening of his illness that will push him elsewhere this time.

O seu companheiro de uma vida inteira se vai, de repente e sem aviso. Em meio a momentos de leveza e gratido, o sistema se apresenta destrutivo, roubando a paz que foi instaurada, apesar da dor.

Tira-lhe do centro e coloca-lhe a margem da insanidade. Muitas questes a resolver, pouco tempo para viver a dor e perceber a "perda". Contudo, chega um momento em que a anestesia dada pelo sistema perde seu efeito e, como um golpe seco, tudo o que no foi possivel viver antes chega de uma unica vez de modo denso, brutal, cruel e desolador. Rasga seu espirito, ferindo-lhe profundamente. Voce sente a lamina afiada da dor e os fluidos esvaindo do seu ser, mas no se sente. Parece ter morrido e se desfeito no espaço vazio do universo. Pausado o tempo. O corpo inteiro fica em suspenso - em um nada abismal entre morrer e continuar a viver.

Cirillico e Kebapi e un viaggio attraverso la Macedonia del Nord, da Skopje a Ocrida, un Paese sospeso tra passato e presente, dove la storia balcanica si intreccia con la vita quotidiana e con una sorprendente ricchezza culturale. Attraverso vecchi quartieri ottomani, monasteri ortodossi e bagni sul lago, lautore ripercorre i luoghi che hanno contribuito alla codificazione dellalfabeto cirillico e al tempo stesso assaggia la modernita viva e contradditoria dei Balcani contemporanei. Non mancano gli incontri inaspettati che arricchiscono la narrazione di aspetti particolarmente umani ed emozionanti. Tra cirillico e kebapi, affreschi bizantini e passeggiate, panorami che si specchiano sullacqua e siti archeologici, la Macedonia del Nord rivela la sua identita stratificata: romana, bizantina, ottomana, slava. Ogni tappa svela un tassello, ogni incontro un racconto, ogni luogo una tensione tra memoria e futuro. Come ricorda lautore se "chi viaggia vive due volte" e "leggere e vivere piu vite", allora leggere di viaggi devessere un vivere alla potenza.
