In 1866 something happened that alarmed the coastal populations: an “enormous long, tapered object, larger and faster than a whale, with a peculiar vitality” was sighted. A few years later, on another coast, Balbec, on the rich Norman coast, a young Frenchman experiences games on the beach, the first kiss, warm nights marked by entertainment.
They are, of course, images taken from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and In Search of Lost Time. Jules Verne and Marcel Proust are the protagonists of the second edition of ‘I bring you a book’, the initiative promoted by the Port System Authority of the Eastern Adriatic Sea in collaboration with the Pordenonelegge Foundation, with the coordination of Vanna Coslovich, external relations manager of the Authority itself and Valentina Gasparet, curator of pordenonelegge.
After Roveredo, Manzon, Heinichen and Rumiz, last year, now to illustrate the two great authors on video shot in the evocative spaces of the Port of Trieste, will be respectively the journalist and writer Pietro Spirito and the poetess and journalist Mary B. Tolusso.
The new video-stories will begin tomorrow, 23 December at 6.00 pm on the social and YouTube channels of the Port of Trieste and pordenonelegge, with Spirito who will guide towards the depths of the sea described by Verne; On Thursday 30 December, however, again at 18.00, Tolusso will follow the footsteps left on the Balbec beach, those described in the fourth book, “Sodoma and Gomorra”.
The two new stages enrich a special small “digital library” dedicated to sea literature. (HANDLE).
