Summary

Novembre 1974. Il giornalista Massimo Loche, allora corrispondente da Hanoi per “l’Unità”, sceglie per viaggiare un mezzo inusuale: il treno. Parte dal Vietnam, attraversa la Cina di Mao per arrivare a Mosca, nell’Unione Sovietica di Brežnev. Un itinerario irto di complicazioni e difficoltà di ogni tipo, in carrozze a quel tempo lussuose, popolate da marinai romeni e intellettuali jugoslavi, attrici del cinema mongolo e diplomatici avventurosi. Alla scoperta di un mondo che oggi non esiste più ma che è rimasto nell’immaginario di tutti.

    Destinazione Miami è la storia di una famiglia modenese che, presa la decisione di fare il giro del mondo in barca a vela, realizza un grande sogno. Il progetto di attraversare l’Oceano con l’idea di tornare, poi, ‘a casa’, si trasforma in un radicale cambiamento di vita, che nulla toglie all’importanza delle amate radici.Monica e Marco Bruzzi, con le figlie Lucia, Chiara e Anita, raccontano la loro storia con naturalezza ed entusiasmo. Ascoltarli è come guardare un film in cui, fino alla fine, ci si immedesima nei protagonisti, che esprimono un caleidoscopio di emozioni. Sullo sfondo, Miami, una città che in alcuni angoli conserva ancora la sua identità anni ’80, quando era un posto al caldo per anziani. Reminiscenze degli anni ’90, del periodo della rinascita, del boom di Ocean Drive, fanno capolino tra i palazzi di specchi che spuntano a ritmi vertiginosamente rapidi in questa città, che proietta nel presente un futuro già concreto. Dal racconto di un’esperienza traspaiono spunti che invitano a riflettere sull’importanza del seguire il proprio istinto, dare concretezza alle passioni e cercare sempre di andare un po’ oltre la routine che ci è familiare, alla ricerca del nostro vero scopo di vita.

    Please Note: This audiobook is in Italian. This subliminal program is for learners of Italian and contains binaural beats, pink noise, and sounds of nature. Hear, learn and speak Italian with confidence. Research shows that with the right technology and deep meditation, you can speed up your learning and retain what you have learned. Positive attitude, willpower, and good mental state are indispensable for success in any endeavor; learning a foreign language is hard work and the main obstacle is retention. This program, which features binaural beats (hearing sensations), takes you step by step where you listen to the native speaker, relax with sounds of nature, and retain the material. The technology of auditory beats and isochronic pulses is not new: if well applied by following the simple tips provided, it can give you an edge in remembering more in less time. This is a subliminal program you use before bed with good quality headphones, preferably over-the-ear with noise-canceling; you shall repeat until your subconscious takes care of the rest. You must do absolutely nothing before you fall asleep. Day after day you will gradually remember the lessons. On a separate session, during day time, review the written material (the eBook is available at major retailers). Use the recording twice a day, at night and early in the morning for at least 30 days.

    SYNOPSIS 
    The Bolivian authorities wanted to cut his head off and send it to Cuba to verify his identity, or just to send a message; after an exhaustive debate, they amputated his hands at the wrist instead and shipped them in a very special container to La Paz, Bolivia; his body was injected with a heavy dose of formalin for preservation, it lay on the autopsy room which was no valhalla; just a squalid room of a school with a military-type stretcher next to a stone sink, perhaps a laundry tub. On October 12th the package arrives and the inspectors of the Argentinian police compare the fingerprints with the ones smudged on Guevara's journals―they match. The hands of the comandante suddenly disappeared and Fidel Castro wants answers; he actually does not believe that his compaňero is dead; the truth was kept secret for over forty years, because the three Argentinian were not authorized to speak. Immediately after the autopsy, the pictures of the cadaver riddled with bullets are published by every newspaper around the globe; the eyes of the comandante are wide open, as they are fixating the sky, his expression is dramatic, his body is statuary, he doesn't look dead at all, just deep in his thoughts, contemplating his next revolution.

    Il Milione narra dei viaggi compiuti in Oriente (e in particolare in Cina) dai fratelli Niccolò e Matteo Polo, più il figlio del primo, Marco, tra il 1271 ed il 1295. L’opera fu dettata tra il 1298 ed il 1299 dallo stesso Marco (all’epoca prigioniero dei genovesi) ad un suo compagno di cella, il letterato Rustichello da Pisa, rifacitore di poemi cavallereschi.Il Milione è diviso in 183 capitoli (secondo il codice Magliabechiano o ‘della Crusca’) ed il suo titolo originale è tradotto dal francese Le livre de Marco Polo citoyen de Venise, dit Million, où l’on conte les merveilles du monde (Il libro di Marco Polo cittadino di Venezia, detto Milione, dove si raccontano le meraviglie del mondo); dell’opera in realtà esistono più di 150 manoscritti (in francese, latino, italiano, dialetto veneto), anche se, ovviamente, il codice più importante è quello più fedele alla originaria lingua d’oil, ossia il francese 1116 della Biblioteca Nazionale di Parigi, che risale ai primi decenni del Trecento e su cui si basa la prima edizione critica del testo.
