Tiziano Terzani Cartas Contra LA Guerra (Spanish Edition)
Oasis Producciones Generales 8479018720 / 9788479018726 PAPERBACK Very Good
8479018720 Mary Staub, Criticas Copyright2003 Reed Business Information. n - nCriticas nInternationally acclaimed Italian journalist Terzani presents readers with seven heartfelt letters written in response to the September 11 attacks and the Bush administration's ensuing steps toward war. Written from such distinct places as a bustling Quettan street market and the solitude of a Himalayan retreat, the letters constitute a plea for global peace and understanding. Terzani portrays the attacks as the natural continuation of history and as a wake-up call for mankind to reevaluate the current global scenario. His first letter, Una buena occasion (A Good Occasion), written from a small Tuscan town just three days after 9/11, emphasizes the importance of trying to understand what led to that September day. In a personal and passionate tone, Terzani offers the reader a variety of perspectives from across the globe that combine sensitive observations with political insight and analysis. Addressing such varied issues as the Chechen-Russian conflict, the links between the current Westernization of the world and Islamic fundamentalism, and the similarities between the anger of Iraqis toward U.N. sanctions and the anger Americans felt watching the Twin Towers tumble, Terzani posits the interconnectedness of all events and developments past, present, and future. The knowledge gained from 30 years of experience as a reporter in war-torn regions within Asia allows Terzani to ground his somewhat esoteric reflections in the political reality of our time with an authoritative yet sensitive voice. This collection of letters will interest anyone who thinks peace is worth striving toward. Recommended for academic and public libraries and bookstores.
