Los hombres no son islas

los clásicos nos ayudan a vivir

Ordine, Nuccio

Starting from the famous meditation by John Donne, Nuccio Ordine expands his "ideal library" by inviting us to read -and reread- more selected pages of universal literature. Convinced that a brilliant quote can arouse the reader's curiosity and encourage him to read the work from which he came, Ordine continues his defense of the classics, showing that literature is fundamental to fostering understanding and compassion between people. In a time marked by individualism, terrible social and economic inequalities, fear of the "outsider" and racism, these pages invite us to understand that "living for others" is an opportunity to give meaning to our lives. Like The Utility of the Useless and Classics for Life, this new volume is a defense and an anthem of everything that unfortunately a part of society tends to snub because it does not report material benefit.
