Also on Nives Meroi

This morning I finished reading the library's book Erri De Luca, "On Nives track. "The coincidence and luck, in this case, is that tomorrow night the climber Nives Meroi in question, will host an evening dedicated to his mountaineering expeditions in Riva del Garda and I will make the public! What
beautiful, I can not wait!

Nives Meroi - high altitude -

"Many times I thanked the snow had already been written, marked by a step. Especially downhill is nice to know that you are putting your feet on the track you have gone up, you're following the right line of the return.
But if the wind or the snow has cleared, the white paper makes you suspect that you're wrong road. Wrong means that it will reach a dead end, where there are cliffs and you just go back and find the right via descent. Up and circles, with the anxiety of losing the best hours of day and risk not find the exit. Even down the mountain is a maze.
... It was said that snow is white white paper returns. But the night is black and the front that lights up a piece around the edge is even blacker. But it's nice to start up with the darkness that surrounds you and your little bundle of light on the nose. The silence creaks under the footsteps of sharp spikes, the silence and the snow at night are the same thing and break both your steps.
The moon, if it is large, send an illusion of warmth. When it is full frontal without salt, the snow has a clear sky and the steps go up on a stretch linking the earth and moon. In the nights that is full, you are climbing the ladder of the moon. In the nights opposite of his absence, up to the top is lost over a scree of stars. You're in the midst of a scatafascio of stars, you see them swarming around the peaks, the lowest of you, a hum of lights, clusters of lights everywhere, above, beside and below, go up a scree of stars. It happens about seven thousand feet, you know you're stepping on the stars. "

From the book writer Erri De Luca," On the track of Nives.

Blockhaus Maranza

Saturday night I attended a meeting on the recovery from the Company Forest Trento, the Municipality and associations and Alpini Villazzano Sat, paths and a military fortress in the areas of Cima Marzola and Maranza. These mountains dominate the east of the city of Trento.
The feasibility of this project is taking advantage of the valuable collaboration of the engineer Volker, historical and military scholar, the passionate "Fortress of the city of Trento.
is not my intention to put friends know about this project, "local" (can not be very interesting), but simply bring the thrill and wonder about the personal aspects of this mountain on which they are fond of since childhood. Not having a record card I needed to carry the lessons learned and "download" here is some important information even if it's hard to remember the many technical details listed by the scholar.
Villazzano I live in a small town on the hill of Trento. They are at the foot of the mountain Maranza. About 40
ago my grandfather with my father as a young boy, have recovered, just in that area, a former military prison at a mountain house.
From when I was little I spent all my summers in Maranza. I am familiar with its paths, its lawns, the street fire zones are "good" where to collect mushrooms.
Thanks to my grandmother, with whom I have long walks in the woods, I met the old military roads and its ruins which are still partly visible.
How many times have I passed! And who knows how many times I wondered what were those walls, those stones!
Saturday evening, thanks to quest'igegnere, but I prefer to call it, very passionate historian, I could wonder why all those "rocks"!
For years this scholar is concerned to discover and explain the building of the Fortress of Trento.
Maranza, or "Blockhaus Maranza", was briefly the most modern military logistics center in Europe never existed. This engineer has access to the archive of Trento and State of Vienna has found approx. 25,000 documents never read their own motivations for the design and construction of the blockhouse Maranza. During the evening
illustrated original military maps of the area related to strategies and directions placements on the same machine guns 9 / 75 and guns. We presented the project to build a road from the countries and Villazzano Povo door Maranza: The drawings indicate the odds even as they climbed the road by calculating the slope of a curve and the other not more than 12 meters because they had calculated that a mule could carry a gun with a maximum slope of no more than this (pazzesco!).
has shown photos, never presented before, the battery, the casemates, water collection wells, crooked streets of the military, who dominated the dense trenches "my mountain."
From the drawings it was clear that military Maranza Marzola and the top had a very important posizine strategic military defense of the city of Trento.
Another news that surprised me were the original design drawings and photos of the construction of the cable car with automatic release located in the area of Pra Marquart with various material which was transported in two directions: Chegùl and clay.
All materials used for the construction of this cable car was brought back by approx. Trentino 9000 women still defined "women militarized."
My intent was not to bring the technical aspects but I can remember through my diary, although little good use of the great emotion that I felt Saturday night in bridging the likely questions asked so long ago with my grandparents, now been met.
Try to understand, above all, that happened so long ago that today I walk in the woods.

Joseph O 'Connor, "The End of the road" The Spiderwick Chronicles

I got for Christmas was one of several books by Joseph O'Connor entitled "The End of the Road" published in 2003.
was for some time since I read a book all in one breath!
I agree with some criticism of this work.
"O'Connor has a great eye for the absurdity of the situations common and a great ear for everyday speech. His writing is amazing."
And again, "O'Connor gives us the resentment, anger, anxiety, anger, and the sweetness of family life. A map of the human heart." The story is
set in Dublin, Christmas 1994. All the events that take place in a week, are trapped in a vortex of amazing coincidences and unexpected and exciting, that do not want to close the book if you do not get to 492esima page! The Library of Mantua
