After more than 2,300 years, the Greek philosopher Aristotle still remains one of the most influential thinkers who has ever lived. There was hardly any field of human knowledge in existence during his day in which he did not make a major contribution. Additionally, he probed areas which were never before examined. Indeed, one could make the claim that no individual person has ever known as much about this world as Aristotle. His analyses of zoology and logic paved the way for modern forensic techniques, and for which every scientist down to this day owes him a debt of gratitude.

Questo audiolibro è un diario che raccoglie una catena di eventi catastrofici, effetti indesiderati dei più nobili intenti di Giannino Stoppani, detto da tutti Gian Burrasca. Una valanga di sventure che pare non avere soluzione, fino a quando Giovannino viene spedito in collegio, dove finalmente mostrerà di che pasta è fatto. Quello che ci pare un disastro oggi forse prenderà un senso domani... forse.

Captured centaurs and satyrs, incompetent seers, people who suddenly change sex, a woman who remembers too much, a man who cannot laugh—these are just some of the colorful characters who feature in the unforgettable stories that ancient Greeks and Romans told in their daily lives. Together they created an incredibly rich body of popular oral stories that include, but range well beyond, mythology—from heroic legends, fairy tales, and fables to ghost stories, urban legends, and jokes. This unique anthology presents the largest collection of these tales ever assembled.
