Oriana Fallaci
Autore: Umberto Cecchi
Numero di pagine: 320
The journalist and writer Umberto Cecchi, long-standing friend of Oriana Fallaci, gives us with his book a recollection, a long interview, a novel. The protagonist is the “private” Oriana, away from the reflectors and the myths of public life: she speaks about pain and passions, pleasure in little things, the impossible pursuit of happiness, grief retrieved by memory but still painful; she speaks about life and death, war and peace, love, illusions, angers and betrayals of life, men's folly, anxieties, depressions. The portrait of an exceptional, extremely strong and sensitive woman emerges: a determined person, with a deep inner strength, attracted by solitude but aware of the impossibility of living on her own. A woman in search of herself and of the Others, and in fact very shy, whose difficult character is a defense from life's and world's hostilities.
