Hello dear friends, I write about race, before coming to our meeting Monthly, a short post on the last book I read, "Emmaus" Baricco. It 's a book that has provoked strongly contrasting views between those who read between the critics and as often happens with texts by this author. I did not like, the style is familiar, very technical, elegant narrative, albeit with some dash too (why not just a comma?), But the book failed to nothing to "get me". The beginning was interesting, "We all sixteen, seventeen years - but without really knowing it, is the only age that we can imagine, barely know the past," the title with particular reference to the Gospel episode of the disciples of Emmaus who saw without understanding, ma poi il libro si è snodato lungo una serie di luoghi comuni che mi hanno lasciata perplessa. Il mondo degli adolescenti cattolici è presentato in un modo che a me, ormai vecchia adolescente dei gruppi giovanili cattolici mi ha quasi indignato: questi giovani vengono presentati come dei disadattati, che il prete molesta come fosse una routine, che cantano canzoni idiote, che svolgono attività di volontariato solo di facciata, ingabbiati, chiusi, con i paraocchi. Nel momento in cui entrano in contatto con "gli altri", rappesentati da Andre, una ragazza che annega il suo vuoto nel sesso ed in una vita senza limiti, ecco rompersi tutto ed allora via al sesso, alla droga, alla violenza, fino al suicidio. Alla fine la voce narrante ed Andre si ritrovano in church and it seems that they, who have really seen the world as it truly is, are somehow superior to others. I do not know if the book goes back to personal experiences, if so sorry for him. I, like many others, I had very different experiences, I learned that you can not be in the world, but being in the world that you can be free and not forced in the faith, that there are people in categories net, who is Who's here and there, and especially that everyone, whatever their ideas, must learn to be just like the book says at the bottom of "pity for what we are, everyone."
