Alex Guarda Il Cielo Il Mito Dell’Uomo Antico. Le Fiabe Degli Eroi Moderni

Product description

How to save ourselves? By living a life of passion, dreams and challenges. By striving towards the impossible without fear of death or folly. Just as racers do: from Alex Zanardi to Doctor Costa’s beloved ‘centaurs’ of the World Motorcycling Championship, these modern-day heroes achieve feats that echo the fantastic tales we once listened to as children. Alex’s humour and straightforward speech was intended to dilute Claudio’s philosophy and cynical realism to give us a balanced vision of the world, first in the dark shades painted by the doctor, then in the lighter tones of the champion. Then there would be stories, presented almost as fairy tales, of those – the riders and racing drivers – that offer us an escape route, salvation from a menacing scenario. This initial idea spontaneously generated much more: a book in which two men of talent and humanity reveal their inner sentiments, giving the reader insights into the minds of two fascinating people.
