26 Giorni

By



26 Giorni (Italian Edition)


Nelle librerie ed in tutti i negozi online, dal 30 Novembre 2017.
Il nuovo libro di F. Guzzardi, pubblicato per Hoffmann  & Hoffmann, e` un romanzo in bilico fra un saggio esoterico ed un sogno. 
Ambientato a New York, il narratore di questo sogno e` uno scrittore francese, Jean Luc Dupuy, il quale si trovera`, spinto dalla curiosita` di conoscere le verita celate di un vecchio libro esoterico, in uno scenario di ingannevoli figure che attraverseranno la sua vita per il tempo di un insegnamento. Sullo sfondo di una New York notturna e romantica, si incroceranno le vite di alcuni esseri, senza nessuna apparente affinita`, che cambieranno per sempre la vita di Jean.
"Da bambino ascoltavo i rumori delle maree, abitavamo a Nizza. A volte mio padre mi portava a pescare e non prendevamo mai niente, tanto che ben presto cominciai a domandarmi perché mi portasse sugli scogli a pescare d’inverno. Finché una volta mi decisi a chiederglielo e lui mi rispose ridendo: Se stai in silenzio per dieci minuti, forse lo capirai!"
Ed un giorno provai a farlo, fu il giorno della sua morte. Andai da solo nel solito posto dove andavamo a pesca, avevo diciotto anni, e mi sedetti sullo scoglio dove andavamo d’abitudine. Chiusi gli occhi e regolai il respiro in maniera ritmica, fino ad arrivare a provare una calma assoluta. Rimasi ad ascoltare il suono delle maree e mi parve di sentire voci e musica, e poi lontane voci e lontane musiche. Ripercorsi la mia giovane vita nell’arco di pochi minuti. Poi i ricordi riportarono indietro la voce di mio padre e le sue risate, la sua schiuma da barba, e tutto ciò che era penetrato nei pori della mia anima. Persino i suoi dischi preferiti e le danze con mia madre. Pensai a come la vita sia inutilmente vana, senza senso, malgrado tutti i nostri sforzi per inventarne uno… uno a caso che non faccia troppo male.

26 giorni, il tempo per ritrovare l' Io piu` profondo e ristabilire l' esatto senso delle cose che ognuno di noi ha perso nascendo.

Will music interfere or help with writing?

By Nazanin Marzban
      Image Source: Becca Clark Will music interfere or help writing? I used to believe that music would interfere with writing. However, I  later discovered that it actually boosted my creativity. I then began experimenting listening to different genres. To my surprise, any song with no singing in the background helped increase my imagination. I started listening to ambient and movie soundtracks (love, action, drama etc.).  I am now unable to write my stories without listening to some type of music.   One of the benefits of listening to a song while writing is that it can play the role of a writing prompt. When I listen to a soundtrack, the next time that I start playing it, it takes me back to my writing without any effort. If I am  writing a scene that I need to revisit, the same soundtrack will help bring my memory back.  Music can also trigger different emotions within the writer. I find that when  I am working on a tr...

Creating Heroines

By
Heroines are always a complicated subject to tackle. They are similar to villains in that you have to know their back story before you begin. The advantage with most heroines though, is that the whole book is about them. The reader will learn the back story as the book moves along. The same tips and tricks for villains can be used for heroines and even heroes so be sure to read that post first. I think most writers have trouble writing heroines. The tendency is to make them hard and unforgiving. They are written like a man with a few female traits thrown in to remind the reader they are female. A lot of writers forget that they are women first. The heroine may have been raised under the harshest of conditions, but they are still women. They think differently than men. They may be able to shut off emotions, but they are still present and can still cause problems. A good heroine is a woman first and a hero second. It sounds odd I know, because you never think of Wonder Woman cryin...

A colorful individual and an ambitious writer, he was "an American with a great mission," in the words of his friend, the critic Benjamin De Casseres, and that mission was to educate Americans about the best cultural achievements, native and European, of his time.
