MEETING WITH ERRI DE LUCA: #UNTEMPOROVESCIATO

"The summit is not a point of arrival, but the point from which to turn back."

 

Erri De Luca, Neapolitan writer and passionate climber and man of culture will tell us, in this chat with the journalist Fausta Slanzi, his love for mountains and nature.

The meeting with the great writer will also be a journey along the fundamental themes of the life of everyone: the relationship with our own roots, and with those of others, the force of hatred that generates wars, and that of love, "The biggest clean energy produced by the body and the human creature ", which can stop them.

 

We invite you to visit the Erri De Luca Foundation website: http://fondazionerrideluca.com/

From an article in his blog, we report this beautiful abstract:

 

...Later I met the mountains practicing mountaineering on the vastness of the walls.
There I see the world as it was before our advent and how it will return after the absence.
There is renewed evidence of being an intruder without a license, visa, invitation.
There exists stone, air, water and lightning in the storm and another meaning of the verb to exist.
There I recognize the name saturday / shabbat, of termination, arrest of our intervention on earth, pause prescribed for its submission.
It is not mother, the earth, but servant enslaved and reserve scraped to the bottom of the well and the bowels.
Even in the mountains are incriminated those who help the wayfarer find his way through the woods and the escarpments.

I live a time overturned, but I do not make myself overthrown by time.
I see the wings floating above the updrafts, indifferent to us. Below the earth is in exile in the residual space left by the authorities. Freedom begins where those stop.
