Descrizione

«Man is an imitative being, he learns life with his eyes. This is the reason why in every time and in every place he has always fixed his gaze on someone to understand himself. ” And it is precisely this peculiar characteristic that has given rise to texts such as the Iliad, the Odyssey, the Aeneid, but also sacred texts such as the Bible or in more recent times the Divine Comedy, Shakespeare’s comedies, or moving us towards I know the present day The Lord of the Rings and maybe even Harry Potter himself. Texts that touch the collective imagination present in each of us and guide it, thus crossing the centuries and generations. Among these works there is one that, according to Epi coco, lends itself more than the others to being the key to the present: Virgil’s Aeneid. “Some decisive passages in the life of Aeneas and his personality seemed to me the most congenial to illuminate the present time.” And so, after a narrative rewriting of those passages, the author shares with us a broader reflection of the underlying theme in order to “reconnect the imaginary with the current story and with the possible choices and opportunities that exist. they open in front. ” The choice of Enea thus becomes the reinterpretation of a founding work of our culture and at the same time a tool for interpreting contemporaneity. A lens through which to reflect on the present that “lacks hope and needs to look and believe in the spring waiting under the snow of the winter we are experiencing.” after a narrative rewriting of those passages, the author shares with us a broader reflection of the underlying theme in order to «reconnect the imaginary with the current story and with the possible choices and opportunities that open up before us. ” The choice of Enea thus becomes the reinterpretation of a founding work of our culture and at the same time a tool for interpreting contemporaneity.
