The collaboration ofThe Garden Association and the Semmelweis Literary Circle resulted in the reading invitation project "The House of Strangers."
The first scheduled event will be Friday, Oct. 18, at the Marsilio Ficino Library (on V. Locchi Street) in Figline. At 9 p. m. the presentation of the book La forza di gravità by Claudio Piersanti will begin. The author will be present and will converse together with Angelo Australi about this latest work of his, which deals, precisely, with that inescapable and unsettling force that affects the lives of Serena and the Professor, the novel's protagonists, but which in reality characterizes everyone's life.
The "La Casa degli Strani" project appears in theOctober-December Literary Agenda events, along with all the initiatives also proposed by the MCL Fanin Club, BiblioCoop and the City of Figline and Incisa Valdarno(click here for the full program). Related to the project are the events of the days: Saturday, Nov. 16 (the presentation of the short story almanac La Casa degli Strani) and Friday, Dec. 13 (the presentation of the book L'Orlando Innamorato by M.M. Boiardo, narrated in prose by Gianni Celati). Appointments with "La Casa degli Strani" will then continue through May, seemingly on Fridays (Jan. 31, Feb. 28, March 27, April 24 and May 15).
