What a sight, Baricco! This time it was invented a novel serialized in a newspaper as it was so long ago, especially in America. And smart too sly Ezio Mauro, editor of La Repubblica, which hosts the very willingly into his pages. For the distracted - or who does not read the Republic, the first publisher Feltrinelli Fandango and then published - this time in full, the novel "The barbarians. Essay on the mutation. A title which, I realize, does not attract "at the outset" the reader, but that's exactly what's inside: an analysis of sharp, bright, extremely intelligent, humorous and understanding, of what has changed and continues to change our society, and how many mutations have taken over the centuries.
"It 's a journey for patients travelers, the book," he writes early in his Baricco. And it is. Slowly (we are not barbarians after all ....) you have to enjoy the style and thoughts of one of our greatest contemporary writers, following the logic and intuition that lead us to understand why we are often confused and outside the context in which we live. Maybe. Because if the reader is a "barbaric" - and there's nothing wrong with being, in fact, from a certain point of view it is fortunate, since they are the barbarians to come out winners from this kind of battle, those who are writing the new way of thinking and the new story - may not understand or recognize the meaning of the essay or the story .
The book is divided into chapters and paragraphs, and in the end there is some funny notes (edited by Sara Beltrame and Cosimo Bizzarri) on characters and situations evoked (from "A Farewell to Arms" to "Noantri" a "Proust") and dates (what you read in the press at each episode published in the newspaper, the June 12 to October 21, 2006). It begins with epigraphs (one dedicated to the "Ninth" by Beethoven) to the wine, football, google, trying to understand the various points of a split between thinking and another, with its examples and its characterization . But it is not a book to tell, "the barbarians": you can not devalue the ra Jonah's writer and explain it with a prose that is not that personal, original and magical this cinquantunenne curly. So I leave you a phrase taken from the chapter "breathe with gills google" you talk about how the creators of google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, have undermined the idea of \u200b\u200b"portal" that is prevalent in the early days of the network. These two boys went to the University of Stanford their teachers and proposed his idea for the dissertation, a new search engine. And to him "that did not escape that coding a search engine must first download the entire web on a computer (....), had to be clear that those two were the offering to circumnavigate the globe on a bathtub. I can tell you let me go against the back and stretching his legs with a smile from the Baron asks: If you intend to download the entire web? We are doing it, they said. Applause. "
Ah, Baricco, your comments, to the game I have to apply to cigars, film and .. Viagra!
