It is a journey across the history and geography of Mare Nostrum,
observed with the eyes of a true captain who is bound for a place
where the human, artistic and symbolic panorama of the Mediterranean
coast stimulates the personal and collective memory and imagination.
An epic and lyric narration which is arbitrary and surprising, truthful,
expressionist rather than naturalistic. With chronological rigour
and document-based exactness, this book tells more than three millenniums
of history and dilutes the burden of a cultural tradition in the
enchantment of immortal myths. |
