HAPPINESS
What is happiness for you?
The answer to this question is always very subjective.
What if happiness was a widespread state of mind and it involved everyone?
The author of the book: Will Ferguson outlines his hypothesis of what would happen if everyone was happy in a short time.
How? Through a manual: the happiness manual.
Do you think we would need it?
SHOUT SONGS
Basically, the definition of shout songs refers to the Gospel genre: a strongly rhythmic religious song in the African-American folk tradition, characterised by chants or shouts of response between the leader and the congregation.
Shouts of invocation, we can say of a joyful kind.
However, when I think of shout songs, completely different songs immediately materialise in my mind.
BEAVERS
The beavers I want to talk about live in Brdy in the Czech Republic.
GENTRIFICATION OR SUPERMARKETIFICATION?
Gentrification or supermarketfication?
Couldn’t we simply progress?
In Vigevano we have a number of supermarkets that is tending towards infinity as it continues to grow.
By now, we are at the level of card collecting, even the ‘double’ ones have become so many.
The certainty is that one will come out of each supermarket with some kind of dissatisfaction, as well as enormous nostalgia for that now extinct trade.
I’ll invent the definition: supermarketification.
ECHOES FROM THE UNKNOWN
If you were confronted with something that could generally be called a paranormal phenomenon, how would you react?
Would you want to find out what it really was or would you run for your life?
Each of the protagonists deals with the unknown in a different way but each story contains food for thought on very important values.
ACCABADORA
Accabadora is a book that needs no introduction: everyone knows it.
However, I only read it now, thanks to ‘Monica books.’
I open it and find the dedication:
To my mother
Both of you
