"And it is that good books transform us; a passage, no matter how brief, can arouse the reader's curiosity and encourage them to read a work that will change their life forever. This is the power of literature, which not only opens our horizons, but slowly and steadily deposits the key to understanding life. Driven by this idea, Nuccio Ordine invites us to discover or remember some of the classics of all times, masters of countless generations: Plato, Rabelais, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Goethe, Rilke, and more."--
