Supriya
“Metti la canottiera, altrimenti ti ammali”. Inizia con questa raccomandazione piuttosto diffusa, sentita da generazioni di giovani, il testo autobiografico di Stefania Garaccioni. Pur amando i genitori, Stefania ha deciso presto e coraggiosamente di intraprendere un percorso di vita alternativo, legato alla ricerca del sé e della propria forza interiore. Dallo yoga al tantra, dalla clowneria alle arti del circo, questo libro è un viaggio autentico all’interno di un mondo affascinante che normalmente si conosce poco. “Le arti del circo”, nelle parole dell’autrice, “insegnano a lavorare sugli equilibri, sulle leve, sulla forza di gravità; mettono in relazione i corpi, addestr...

Annapurna South Face
In 1970, Chris Bonington and his now-legendary team of mountaineers were the first climbers to tackle a big wall at extreme altitude. Their target was the south face of Nepal's Annapurna: 12,000 feet of steep rock and ice leading to a 26, 454-ft. summit. As serious armchair climbers will tell you, Annapurna South Face is better than all but a handful of equally gripping classics. One could also argue that all that has happened in the big mountains in the past 30 years has come out of this expedition and out of this book. Bonington and his team—most of whom subsequently died in the mountains—represented a kind of "greatest generation" of modern mountaineers. They pioneered a new, bolder approach to high altitude climbing, and this book is about how they hit the big time.
Barefoot Through Mauretania
Odette du Puigaudeau is best known for her major ethnographic work, Arts et Coutumes des Maures, a detailed study, in words and drawings, of the cultural world of the nomads of Mauretania. The present work explains how she came to write it. Barefoot Through Mauretania is an account of her first journey across the country by camel in 1933-4, with her life-long companion, Marion Senones. The book records the adventures of the two women during that year, often with a touch of humour. Above all, however, it presents a picture of a way of life that has, as they feared, almost vanished, and their determination that it should be recorded. Odette du Puigaudeau wrote a number of other books on different aspects of nomad life, such as the salt caravans and date markets, as well as articles on prehistoric rock-drawings, and a charming tribute to her pet leopard, Rachid."
