This is the first novel written by the well-known author of sonnets and poetic compositions and one of the most authoritative Italian authors of “Haiku”, Japanese poetic compositions. It is also the third editorial work in collaboration with Cùlt Books of Sassari and was preceded by “” The golden nib that wanted to write time “and” Sonnets “, which will be followed shortly by new works that are about to go to press Author Profile This profile was prepared by Bernardo De Muro, vagabond and “surgeon” of the word: “A scholar of ancient and modern rhetoric, lover of the word, essayist, storyteller and playwright – mainly of classical inspiration -” Teacher of oratory art and narrative writing (with his own methodologies).
Love the strong colors of knowledge. He had a long association with the world of youth and early adolescence to teach them the mechanisms, secrets, games, tricks of the word: how to make it unique, recognizable, attractive and at the same time eloquent. He taught primary school students to “read” first from the heart and only after a narrative text, making them discover the value of a pause, the measure of rhythm, the importance of expressive underlining. He spoke of the “music” of nature: from the opening of a corolla to the mottled butterflies, to the sonorous monosyllable of a nocturnal bird of prey, and then to the musical instruments: wind, wind, percussion, and to capture the differences in timbres . , tones and sounds.
With the secrets of interpretation. Self-produced interview for the presentation of the book (which will not be published as an interview but from which to take the information of the presentation) It is rumored that she would never have written a novel, all absorbed as she is by stories, poetry, theater, even a fairy tale fairies. Is this so or is it the evil of some, since you have published Stories and Mysteries? A revolution of thought or did he want to discredit the voice of disbelievers? Hey, how many beautiful streams! All in good time. The novel is or should be the last look of a writer, because of the complexity that is inherent, because of the narrative weight that it carries, because of the authors who have done school. The novel is the genre of writing par excellence.
And it deserves respect. I consider it a gamble to think of writing a novel, a test of courage so as not to have to regret it, so as not to have a thumbs-up for readers. A novel is a hymn to the maturity of a writer. Let us not forget that Tommasi di Lampedusa wrote Il Gattopardo in his sixties, an attentive cultivator of words in his solitary and taciturn being, and highly erudite. One of those who, in fact, have attended school. But what prompted her to write Stories and Mysteries in the Valley of the Nuraghi? A shock or a new vision of the word? In a novel there are many parts at play, there is not only a plot, characters, places and times, the events that unfold or resurface.
You need tones and atmospheres that find light now shadows, oblique cuts of a revealing fact, of a second or third figure that suddenly comes out to create confusion, confusion, disorientation. There are mobile or previous joints that can make history, the history of a regret or a new energy. It’s not like we find all these things in your Stories and Mysteries! Did you give us a general picture of the work? But no, or maybe yes, it may be, it depends on how the reader orients his reading: either quickly or putting his soul as a reader, his desire to discover.
As in oratory, it is the public that does a bad or a good speaker, as Saint Augustine said. Why this title: Stories and Mysteries in the Nuraghi Valley? If we had asked Sebastiano Vassalli why the “Chimera” or “Marco and Mattio”, he would have answered that the title of a novel is the novel itself. And I would add that the attentive reader will find out. I like it, I like it. Of course, the title reveals something: whoever sees the cover of Marco and Mattio in the bookstore can imagine that one represents evil and the other good (and it would be almost banal or obvious) or that they are twins with different characters and ways of thinking . or they can be father and son or son and father. But to find out, you will have to read the book.
There is a bit of mystery and some hidden riddle about what he is telling us or maybe he is doing to intrigue readers. Can you tell us what is the story of the mysteries in the valley of? It is the story of two worlds that intersect and are on two apparently opposite shores, one further away than the other and the other closer to it, where they come into play. memories, rediscovered features, waves that go and others that the wind brings. Do not make me say more, I say it out of prudence towards those who read and discipline me.
And the mystery? If it is a mystery, let it remain a mystery. I understand it, a double enigma. He previously quoted “Marco and Mattio”. Tell us some names of characters in your book … It may not be relevant here, however here they are: Lao, Pedru, Jana, Juanne, Serafina. How much poetry, theater, fairy tale, magic, dreams is there in your novel – themes that you have developed extensively in your books? The reader will discover those traces, if any.
