Waiting for your photos from readers, I continue with my own! After successful demonstration of the power of reading on the train, I go back to read comfortably ... on the couch. My absolute favorite place, of course, in second place behind the bed.
With me is my book par excellence: the Polifilo. I could only start from that. Inside is all that there must be: compelling plot, mystery, philosophy, art, erotic, passion, and so on and so forth. Definitely not easy to read (though thanks to the magnanimous Adelphi is accompanied by a translation into modern practice), but otherwise what fun would there?
Unfortunately, I do not have those "few" of the money needed to buy 'editio princeps dated 1499 and exit from the press at that illustrious Aldus Manutius of Venice, but until I win the lottery I'll settle Of this (which is however, much more manageable!)
But I must confess a small weakness: when I venture between the dark and dusty rooms on the upper floors of the library where I work, never fails to sneak into what is called "holy of holies" - custore sacred books of the rarest - and let visit to the ancient original at least for a few minutes. It 's so that this happens so my nose was created: smell. And now, whatever has happened to me during the day, I feel a bit' more relieved and light. Question of fact liber taumaturgicus (I will pass the license maccheronica Latin!) Or by the miraculous powers, able to cure the soul and spirit ...
... a little 'less than the physical, especially after a good sniff from someone like myself, has the misfortune to be allergic to dust mites: the concert begins ecciù . But although we are still five hundredth of product, they are forgiving. And definitely worth it.
In hand Francesco Colonna (?) Hypnerotomachia Polophili , reprint Adelphi, 2003.
