«Sentivo di amare la montagna per i suoi paesaggi solenni, per le lotte ingaggiate con i picchi, per le emozioni e i ricordi che ne derivavano; ma forse l'amavo ancora di più per quel senso di libertà e di gioia di vivere che solo lassù sui monti riuscivo a trovare.»

I delitti delle acquae calidae - Arsenio Siani. Un intreccio di mistero e sangue tra le ombre del medioevo toscano. Recensione di Alessandria today

Con I delitti delle acquae calidae, Arsenio Siani ci trasporta nella Toscana del 1245, in un mondo di misteri, profezie oscure e intrighi. L'astrologo Guido Bonatti preannuncia un evento funesto che potrebbe cambiare il corso della storia.

TramaCon I delitti delle acquae calidae, Arsenio Siani ci trasporta nella Toscana del 1245, in un mondo di misteri, profezie oscure e intrighi. L’astrologo Guido Bonatti preannuncia un evento funesto che potrebbe cambiare il corso della storia. La vicenda si apre in una locanda nei boschi della Maremma, nei pressi di Caldanelle. Qui si incrociano i destini di personaggi enigmatici: un fabbro di…

La curiosità è un elemento molto importante, arriverei a dire che è la stessa curiosità ad avere creato l’uomo così com’è. Ma l’avventura che seguirá, mirata a soddisfare questa curiosità, non dovrà mai avere lo scopo di fuggire ma bensì quello di raggiungere qualcosa, di appagare il bisogno che è nell’uomo di andare oltre e di vedere, conoscere, misurarsi, provarsi e sapere. Queste sono le motivazioni che avevano spinto Ulisse oltre i confini del mondo conosciuto, e che spingono ancora molti di noi, nel Duemila: una pulsione che sta alla base dei misteriosi perché della vita. Non mortifichiamo l'avventura con il business che ne può nascere, non confondiamola con i tanti imbrogli del momento, i quali hanno il demerito di svilire e svuotare di significato quello che è soprattutto un impulso disinteressato dell'animo.

"La realtà è il cinque per cento della vita. L'uomo deve sognare per salvarsi."

Walter Bonatti, alpinista, sull'Aiguille dell'Entreves, 1957.

[scottfischer]

Walter Bonatti climbing on the Pilone Centrale del Frêney on Mont Blanc in 1961.

The route had never been successfully climbed at the time, and a franco-italian team formed to attempt it. This attempt ended in tragedy, as a week long snow storm broke out and only three out of seven climbers survived. Bonatti defined this tragedy as "the most hallucinating tragedy ever happened to expert alpinists on Mont Blanc."

Hi I was wondering what you top mountain books of 2024 were? What are your recommendations?

hello mysterious anonymous asker thank you for asking ♡. im replying so late cause i need my laptop to add images for some reason. ive decided to give up on the images lol. anyone is free to dm me if you want pdfs or epubs or whatever i would love to be your mountaineering book dealer.

my top three of 2024 in terms of enjoyment would probably be (no particular order):

into thin air by jon krakauer, it's a classic for a reason. more on it further down in the post

k2: life and death on the world's most dangerous mountain by ed viesturs, i like the historical approach with the memoir part weaved through it, and ed's bitchy nature is a source of great enjoyment to me

i miei ricordi: scalate al limite del possibile by walter bonatti, idgaf if it's recency bias bonatti was such a great writer on top of being a truly terrific climber and just a great fucking guy.

as for recommendations im gonna approach this q as recs to get into mountaineering literature. this is in no way a comprehensive list btw im writing this while after lunch coffee is happening at a family gathering so youll understand if i limit myself to three.

first off i'm gonna say into thin air by jon krakauer again. aside from having the advantage of being widely translated, it's not a book that assumes or requires much technical knowledge and it's well written, truly gripping and really touching. its great. shoutout to jon k.

then, i would be remiss not to cite touching the void by joe simpson. im notorious among my friends for getting random people to read it. i got my mother who does not like mountains to read it and even she loved it. she now has a parasocial relationship with joe simpson. its so interesting from the psychological perspective of being into this guy's head in a seemingly absolutely hopeless situation.

lastly im gonna recommend also touching my father's soul: a sherpa's journey to the top of everest by jamling t. norgay. id recommend to read it after into thin air, and it's just such a lovely read. it also delves into sherpa traditions and the sherpas' history in himalayan mountaineering, as well as the author's relationship with tradition, buddhism etc and his relationship with his larger than life father (tenzing norgay, the first man to summit everest together with edmund hillary)

thank you for asking ♡♡♡ love you xx

Mois du doc à Varces

Dans le cadre du Mois du Film Documentaire, gros coup de cœur en approche à la bibliothèque de Varces : IL BUCO de Michelangelo Frammartino.

1961, c’est l’époque où en Italie et ailleurs, le monde rêve plus grand et plus haut. A Milan, la tour Pirelli est érigée ; Bonatti a gravi le K2 ; Gagarine a fait son petit tour dans des étoiles.

A contresens de cette mégalomanie, dans l’anonymat le plus total, un groupe de jeunes spéléologues explorent dans le massif du Pollino ce qui fut à l’époque la deuxième grotte la plus profonde sur terre : l’Abîme de Bifurto. Un vieux berger semble les observer. Ce qui se joue alors à l’écran croise à la fois la matérialité et le mystérieux.

Le réalisateur italien - coutumier du fait - nous invite à sortir des discours et de l’explicite. Au-delà des genres et des étiquettes, Il Buco est un film qui ne s’appuie ni sur le dialogue, ni sur la musique pour créer de l’intensité. Qu’elles soient la montagne calabraise ou la peau du vieil ermite, la caméra nous offre des topographies tangibles.

A leurs côtés, le gouffre – dans lequel Frammartino et son équipe ont bien dû descendre plusieurs heures – est hors-champ passionnant. Avec Renato Berta à la photographie et à Simone Paolo Olivero au son, toute l’équipe a dû apprivoiser le noir et l’écho.

Chaque plan d’Il Buco devient alors une véritable incantation. Voilà bien l’objet même du cinéma.

François Bégaudeau, à propos d’Il Buco :

« Une fois que tu as passé quatre heures à descendre pour aller faire un plan de cinéma, je vais te dire, ton plan, tu fais gaffe. Je le dis sérieusement : parfois, ce qui manque à certains cinéastes, c’est de solenniser un peu le moment de tourner. »

Mercredi 27 novembre 2024 à 20h à la bibliothèque de Varces Entrée libre. Réservation conseillée. 04 76 72 84 35 bibliotheque@varces.fr

In canto XX of the inferno when they get to the diviners with their heads turned backwards Virgil starts naming notable people in the hoard and at the end he goes “and there’s Michael Scot”. Who was a Scottish diviner and astrologer but you know exactly where my brain went. Absolutely took me out he was like. There is Eurypus, there is Bonatti, here is Asdente… and that’s Michael “that’s what she said” Scott…
