“IN MY WORDS”: "Thoughts, Lives and Horizons"
About this audiobook
Every story is a world. A fragment of life, an emotion captured and told. This book was born with a simple and ambitious goal at the same time: to tell life. It does so through short, intense stories, capable of enclosing the weight of an experience in a few lines, like small windows on realities as different as they are like ours.
Each story explores a central theme: poverty and wealth, loneliness and friendship, success and failure, love, and loss. Because life is all this: an unpredictable carousel of emotions, a succession of moments that, although often forgotten, leave an indelible mark on our hearts.
This book is divided into moments, as if they were chapters of life itself. There are stories that speak of success, fame, wealth, and others that show the opposite side: poverty, difficulty, and misery. Some stories touch on profound themes such as illness, death, and happiness, while others celebrate the importance of emotional bonds, love, children, and those bonds that we often take for granted, but which are the foundation of our existence.
And then there is Frega Ferdinando, a character who moves lightly, ironically, but full of meaning. Ferdinando is a symbol, of us, of those who face life between smiles and difficulties, without ever losing the desire to move forward.
Authoring these stories was like observing life through a special lens, where every little detail becomes the protagonist. Every word was chosen to excite, to make you think, or simply to accompany the reader in a moment of pause from the frenetic world that surrounds us.
