Sono nato dalla fantasia di un uomo che aveva creduto di poter cambiare il mondo, una persona comune ma dotata di una grande passione: le parole.

Ebola against all odds * Il virus mortale ebola contro ogni pronostico
I’m very concerned about World War III This isn’t a challenge between greedy nations willing to overcome each other, or factions keeping at the side of the one or the other. I’m talking about a battle against something bigger than bombs or weapons. Something you can’t surreptitiously control from distance, planning the whole on a …

Briciole del mio tempo * Time’s crumbs
Nabucodonosor A volte, quanto il tempo si contorce dentro la mia mente e le mani battono veloci sui tasti, la storia dei personaggi scivola lungo sentieri sconosciuti.

L’Orologio [pensieri da: Il gioco delle perle di vetro – H. Hesse]
I walk with bowed head, looking at the tip of my gym shoes smeared with mud, as I fear that my steps might awaken the souls of the past who have stayed in this magical place. But I just leave confused traces where the grass does not cover the passage, which overlaps with those of …
