THE PREFACE OF GIANNI MARIT - Journal of TG1
THE POISON IS ABOUT THE ANTIDOTE And reading.
With this novel that you have in your hands, Cinzia Baldini and Michele Zefferino won the second edition of "the maximum amount, which was carried out at Ostia Lido in the summer of 2009 at the initiative of the event Cultural Harbour at Reading. "
The motivation of the jury: "Written with an engaging and enjoyable style, 'The venom of Circe' touches a hot topic in an original and topical as the dell'ecomafia and environmental pollution. The protagonist, a young reporter assault, attracts attention for its special spirit adventure, and aspiration to justice, ethics attributed to the profession of journalism. Around her take major characters to great effect, placed in a thriller, evocatively referring to some verses of the Odyssey, arouses in the reader a sound and constructive concern about illness and responsibilities of our time. "
difficult to say more. The novel does read with taste, not only because it sinks its claws into the flesh of the words of current events, but also because it is not afraid to cross the territories of a style that consciously looks at the best of our literary tradition by making their own and reinvent themselves. Starting from the 'hook' Odyssey, which together with the Iliad is the great womb of the imagination and poetic language Western.
The "poison" of the legendary Circe acquires two flavors, diametrically opposed. On the one hand, the literature refers to his role as a noble form of social protest, pointing his pen against the dreaded "poison" the pollution produced by man (even more obnoxious if brought in a criminal manner, as in the novel), which destroys the 'Environment and insulting nature. Second, the healthy creeps into your "poison" in reading, handing in the eyes reasoning and emotions to the heart to the brain. Result: the immense, timeless, essential pleasure of reading. That form of contact and familiarity with the printed page becomes the best antidote to the poisons of our time: the superficiality and indifference, the cunning and laziness. Read "The venom of Circe" will help us become better citizens and Italians more conscious of having inherited a language of breathtaking beauty.
not alone. The centrality of the character of Julia, a journalist attacked, it sounds like a warning against so much information that is satisfied by appearances and looking for complicity with power. When the pages of newspapers or news radio and television tell us that the bad guys steal, shoot, pollute and make them comfortable in all of us turn on the hope that a journalist discovers the corruption and the complaint or that the police find the perpetrators face justice or a magistrate. Cynthia and Michael help us to keep this hope alive ...
