Tiziano Terzani, knowing they got to the end of his career, talks to his son Fulk of what was his life and what life is:
"If you to understand something you want to leave there in a package
says. This is the account of a life spent traveling the world in search of truth. And looking for the meaning of the many things he has done and the many people who have been, what has a fresco of the great passions of his time.
"If you ask me what I leave at the end, I leave a book that will perhaps help someone to see the world in a better way to enjoy more of the their lives, to see her in a larger context, like the ones I feel so strong. " A text that is his latest gift: a new book by Tiziano Terzani.
" ... and if you and I we sat down every day for an hour and you told me the things you've always wanted to ask me and I spoke to freewheel all I care about the history of my family to that of the great journey of life? "With these words, Tiziano Terzani asks the Fulk son to hear his last story. The result is my end is my beginning, a biography in the form of spoken dialogue, but also the will of a father who conveys the essence of what the child has learned in life . The last book that the journalist and writer Florence left us is the final step of a long way in the world in search of truth, the last chapter of a life full of passion, and love the events, culminating in the serenity of one who is ready to face a great new adventure with the knowledge of having lived intensely and to transmit a legacy, not only of facts and personal memories, but also of thoughts, feelings and ideals.
Here then, in the mountain retreat all'Orsigna, Titian and Folco sit under an old tree, and talk of past life, passions, successes and difficulties of work, family and leisure. Terzani describes moments of his life he had never talked about in previous books: her childhood in a neighborhood of Florence, the poverty of the family of origin, the studies in high school, the first velvet trousers bought in installments, the 'encounter with his wife Angela, his companion of a lifetime, discovering love for travel and for China, the years at Olivetti, the practitioner's Day in Milan, directed by Italo Pietra. And then the great adventures of his career, which led him to cross the events of history, wars and major political issues of the last fifty years: matches for Der Spiegel, the war in Vietnam, disappointment of communism in China, expulsion from the Asian country, the horror of the future seen in Japan, India and the Himalayan retreat in the hermitage, which alternate with family and personal memories of adventure travel in areas prohibited , encounters with spies and passions that led him to collect thousands of books, statues, Tibetan and cages full of exotic birds.
word after word, memory after memory, with the inimitable spontaneity and irreverence of his speech, Tiziano Terzani is revealed in all its fullness and humanity traveler exceptional, quality journalism, a witness of the great passions of his time, man driven by curiosity about the different and a deep spirituality and suffering.

Tiziano Terzani - The end is my beginning
"I sense that I did not touch anything, because not the mask, not this body, not my memories, are not ...
are something much bigger, much smaller, much more detail,
are nothing but everything .
And just because they are not anything specific, I can not afford to think that everything "
******
"It 's so hard to imagine a world where science is at the service of man? A science that does not exploit nature? It' really imagine a utopian civilization which relations between men are more important than efficiency and material progress?
The great danger is the renunciation of the hope, the idea that games are made, that the world is already in hand "to others" and that we can not say another word "
not know Tiziano Terzani, in the sense that I had never read anything about him.
has been a friend to tell me Beppe Grillo read Tiziano (he is a native German and Tiziano already read a journalist). I was impressed but also confirmed to me, and made it clear a few things, the Asian world seen through his eyes, now takes me to a new way of looking at it.
Confirmation that a more equitable world can not be delegated to a few, but it is a human path of mass
"Folco Mao killed many communists"
in this sentence are the essence of the failure of Marxist totalitarian ideologies and not because is the result of human needs but not the cultural processes of the people (the Communists were not Mao Chinese farmers or others to make the new man destroy the culture of the people). What's next "I saw the first break down the Stalin statue with the cry of Allah w, Folco if Marxism has been the gun of the poor in the twentieth century, Allah will be the twenty-first century"
.
I could go further but I will stop saying that the book also shows the serenity of a man who knows how to die peacefully and face this challenge, making a reflection on his journey who was human and who is now. Thanks Tiziano
for your memories and your thoughts.
