Olivia Laing ha quarantadue anni quando diventa proprietaria per la prima volta di un giardino. È un giardino trascurato da tempo| come sembrano indicare i nodi dei rampicanti che coprono i mattoni rossi| gli alberi da frutto marcescenti e le rose dai colori sbiaditi. Fino a quel momento| la sua aspirazione botanica si era manifestata solo in un sogno ricorrente: una porta che conduce verso un luogo sconosciuto| in cui lei| priva di peso| si ritrova ad abitare un territorio nuovo| ricco di potenzialità.

Nachdem Gottfried Keller durch Konfrontation mit der Realität zur Einsicht gelangte, dass der Beruf des Landschaftsmalers seiner Erwartungshaltung bezüglich eines regelmäßigen und sicheren Einkommens nicht genügte, ebnete eine Laune des Schicksals ihm einen anderen Lebensweg. Aus Langeweile schreibt Keller ein paar Verse, die überraschenderweise sogar veröffentlicht werden und zwar nicht im Eigenverlag. Ermutigt und beflügelt von seiner anscheinend vorhandenen literarischen Begabung erwacht der geisteswissenschaftliche Ehrgeiz in ihm, der schließlich in seinen prosaischen Fähigkeiten mündet.

Brought to you by Penguin. I started writing this book as an exclusively work memoir but the work and the personal kept overlapping. I don’t know if that’s because I’m a woman or a mother or both, or none of those reasons. I just know that for my story to be authentic and truthful, I...

Come si fa oggi a stare nel mondo? In questo mondo. A trovare un modo, un posto adatto a noi che siamo consapevoli di essere privilegiati ma dobbiamo fare i conti anche coi nostri, di traumi, piccoli o grandi, oltre che con quelli giganteschi di chi è sotto le bombe, di chi è oppresso, povero, svantaggiato. Ci si vergogna a dire che ci si sente soli, ma lo siamo sempre di più. Daria Bignardi lo dice con sincerità, ironia, coraggio. Sente che la solitudine può essere una prigione ma anche un posto da cui ascoltare il battito del cuore del mondo. Il mondo la chiama e lei parte.

«Cercate in questo libro cose semplici e modeste: il racconto di tre viaggi in Sicilia», nei primi anni Cinquanta, «e delle cose di laggiú come possono cadere sotto l'occhio aperto di un viaggiatore senza pregiudizi», ci suggeriva l'autore.

Come scrive Vincenzo Consolo nella sua Prefazione , «l'amore per tutto quanto è umano, acutamente umano, vale a dire debole e doloroso, vale a dire nobile.
