Sands, Palms and Minarets

"Sands, Palms and Minarets" is an evocative travel narrative that captures the essence of North Africa during the early 20th century. Written by Madeleine Vernon, this work offers a detailed and personal exploration of the landscapes, cultures, and architecture of Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. The author vividly describes the shifting dunes of the Sahara, the lush oases of the palm groves, and the striking silhouettes of minarets against the Mediterranean sky. Through a series of keen observations, Vernon provides insight into the social customs, religious traditions, and daily lives of the local populations. The narrative balances poetic descriptions with historical context, making it a significant contribution to the genre of early 20th-century travel literature. "Sands, Palms and Minarets" serves as both a historical record and a literary journey, inviting readers to experience the vibrant colors and enduring spirit of the Maghreb as seen through the eyes of a sophisticated traveler from the interwar period.

Tibet. Ai confini con il cielo tra natura e spiritualità

Il Tibet non è una nazione: è uno scrigno di conoscenze spirituali, di espressioni artistiche, di ricerche interiori e di sensibilità ecologica. Nonostante il pesante controllo di Pechino, il Tetto del Mondo resiste tenacemente a ogni tentativo di assimilazione e annichilimento da parte del progresso cinese. Questa guida è un'escursione profonda nella religione, nell'arte, nel modo di vita delle popolazioni tibetane. Ma è soprattutto un ventaglio di itinerari per chi vuole conoscere nel modo migliore l'anima autentica del Paese delle Nevi, con le meraviglie che è ancora in grado di regalare al viaggiatore. Partendo dalla congestionata e cosmopolita Lhasa, con l'affollato ma sempre magico Potala, la fortezza monastero del Dalai Lama, per raggiungere località mistiche tra templi, yak e vette leggendarie, attraverso trekking "su misura". Una guida che conduce davvero per mano il lettore, senza compromessi e con informazioni dettagliate e aggiornatissime, dentro una terra verticale che, come poche altre al mondo, sa restituire la vera essenza della spiritualità.
