Black Jesus: The Anthology - Federico Buffa - Stories Sports

Black Jesus: The Anthology - Federico Buffa - Tales from the sport

Black Jesus the anthology From the pen of a lawyer with a knack of journalism "as Federico Buffa, comes a collection of articles on the world of American basketball, much more than a sport on TV, in some cases a hope, a place of refuge, a strong element of aggregation for all the street children found in many American communities.

The book oozes basketball, reading some stories seemed to be there, in Harlem or Philadelphia, rather than in a few isolated college gym in the mountains or in a building, to smell the sweat on the ball imprinted into wedges, or the sharp sound of sneakers crawling on the floor.
There is a piece of American basketball history told from the inside, with interviews and extensive research, with long or short visits to follow in the footsteps of the legends that have been, and those that have never been.

The main virtue of using an author's prose is flowing, the query particular, can describe in an original and deeply the subject of the narrative, often causing a laugh, but also able to move and move .

Stories of the samples which lost through the maze of drug companies and a ghettoized and sick, never made it "upstairs" in the NBA, not the general public has ever known.
Buffa introduces us to the stories of legends from Playground as that of Earl "The Goat" Manigault, the man who wanted to sit on the iron , the story of Raymond Lewis, the largest that has ever existed, the ' man who made it rain.
reading these stories that I could not move me, stories that have now taken the connotation of Legends, not because they are not true, but because they have become almost sacred in the context in which they were conducted.

There are stories in the book of players who have made it from scratch, of coaches who have revolutionized basketball with their ideas, coaching in college or the NBA. Perhaps the objectivity of the journalist is often brushed aside in the book, but if the result is this, basically does not matter.

Pereira - Antonio Tabucchi - Feltrinelli

sostiene-pereira-antonio-tabucchi In 1938, a few months after the outbreak of World War II, a journalist was one of the more difficult that a man could do. Doing it in Lisbon, Portugal, the nation affiliated with the fascist General Franco, just as they fought the civil war in neighboring Spain, was even more difficult. To be cautious, balanced and circumspect in the use of words in choosing subject matter, all this was exactly what he was doing a small Portuguese journalist named Pereira. Censorship was still there and the police knew to be very "convincing" with those who were allowed to write against Salazar and against his regime.

Pereira was a young reporter for a small newspaper, the Lisboa, and directs the culture page that took care alone, without any of the partners. He just occasions to write stories about writers who died or translating French writers 800. A reporter quietly, not wanting to Rogne went to seek it, without real friends, without women. But something changed in his life: take a young employee, just graduated, a revolutionary, a subversive, would break away first, but fails, Pereira finds itself in the urge to have to help him, he feels is the right thing to do. The small

journalist becomes a great story, a story in which an ordinary man decides he wants to change things, you know to have the means and does not flinch, he understands that a middle-aged man can still change, can still live without remain anchored to a past life, a life that will never return.

Antonio Tabucchi is inspired by the life of a real journalist, lived in Portugal and then fled to France before the outbreak of war, gives him the name "Pereira" and tells the story, because it's an important story to tell, a story that still today can shake the souls of those who think that the individual can no longer affect, that things can not change. The courage of the journalist is all in a gesture, a word in its name, put pen to paper to denounce the crimes of a regime that had acted for too long hidden by ignorance and indifference of the people "[. ..] went to the head and below, right, put his name Pereira.

Rigging A Fatty Knees

Invisible Cities - Italo Calvino -

" I think I have written something like a last love poem to the city, when le_citta_invisibili_italo_calvino becomes increasingly difficult to live them as city."

Italo Calvino writes in his "Invisible Cities", one of his written more than succeeded.

The book consists of a series of reports that travel is an imaginary Marco Polo to Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Mongol descendants of Genghis Khan.
Marco Polo sets the reader in a sort of revisiting of "The Million", his stories, short and full of meaning, the cities he visited, in which words are chosen carefully weighed by the author, that combined to create a 'lovely atmosphere and absolutely fascinating.
E 'useless for me to dwell on a review of "traditional" about this book is a book to live, a fantastic journey that takes you from the most unexpected and diverse city, from city to city crowded and gray suspended in the sky, the thin city.
The player takes off and glides while reading on each of the city, imagining everything that Calvin descrive.Il flight but a flight is low, because it is impossible to miss the references to modern cities and Calvin hides or reveals (in an extraordinary way ) in each racconto.Non imaginative journeys are ends in themselves, the author expresses it with his criticism of the "non-city" modern. But Calvin did not want to prophesy disaster and apocalypse, just wants to show the invisible part of every city, consisting of memory, desires, symbols that each of these hides under her "tends architectural .

addition to the images described by the narrator in the novel there are interludes in the beginning of each chapter, in which Calvino writes down the discussions between his imaginary Marco Polo and Kublai Khan.

The true meaning of the author and the philosophy of ' whole book is contained in these dialogues, where Marco Polo reflects on his travels, which he attended on the scene and, with the aim of bringing to the Great Khan's what the position of his empire, to lend his eyes to show the great emperor how vast and jagged the kingdom he ruled. The magnificent building becomes a place of projection, where the 'Emperor sees the "film" of his city, beautifully told by the words of Calvin, hidden behind the Italian character of the explorer.
