Every journey
is, in its essence, a movement from a point to another. Geographical,
usually, but also interior. There are countless ways to travel,
as many as the feet that drive them around and the eyes that observe
the world. This diary
dedicated to travelling, arrived at its tenth
edition, tells some of the endless
ways to mean it
In its pages hundreds of quotations
are collected - one for each author, to ensure variety of historical
context and geographical and cultural origins - fragments (totally
renewed every year) from taken from novels, poems, essays, articles,
journals of different kinds of travellers (from Plato to Bruce Springsteen,
from Marco Polo to Claude Lévi-Strauss, from zen essays to
tuareg proverbs), all of them with the passion (or, more rarely,
dislike) for travel, movement, search, far and near elsewhere, real
or fantastic places
Over the years, the agenda has hosted special in depth-analysis
on various topics - from interviews
with writers, philosophers, anthropologists, musicians, photographers
(among others: Tahar Ben Jelloun, Luis Sepulveda, Umberto Galimberti,
Paolo Conte, Hugo Pratt, Ferdinando Scianna) - to useful information
- the reporting of hundreds of events around the world (from Buddhist
festivals to savannah migrations) addresses (embassies, tourist
offices, associations) - and images,
from paintings to photos and maps. A mix of different materials
to accompany the reader - day after day - on a one year long journey |
