Moving Into An Older Home

March 13, 2009, an evening like a hug ---- 2: the commissioner and the rapporteur

The room is almost packed (and who would have thought). Arriva also the Councillor for Culture of Chioggia Dr. Sin, with its copy of the novel in hand. Approaches and shakes my hand, submitted by my editor who tells him: "Here the author!" and that would be me. The welcome and I welcome invite you to sit in the front row (do not do this?).
And so it begins, is expected
he just goes.
introduces two words Venerucci friend Andrea (whom I thank here, for the passion with which I helped to organize this event and for simple words to me when I read the proofs many years ago).
A must salute first councilor, who says that a society without deepening the ego, in spirit, is not based on solid foundations. Greets and thanks. But it remains to listen.

Andrea introduces the keynote speaker (
because I'm not that important here), Dr.. Piergiorgio Penzo Fondaco The Cultural Association of Chioggia.

Piergiorgio is not a friend in the truest sense of the word. That is not a person who normally attend. So much is already to have agreed to play the game compared to my novel and he did great.
The beginning is the most promising because comparing my debut novel, a novel minor (and God forbid ...) Bernanos: "Under the Sun of Satan." That alone makes you the
privide. Mauro Bighin compared to Bernanos. Even the sound of the name clash with my parting typically Venetian, which creates a sound unbearable. Instead, "Bernanos" is another story. However, Pierre has courage to sell and explain because this neighborhood.
Certainly the figure of the priest (almost trivial to think about it) that is present in both novels, but also and above all the figure of the devil. The speaker in the drawing of dr. Barbers in my novel with the figure of the devil. I jump off the chair and I'm curious to see where it ends, because c'avevo not even thought about writing such an eventuality.
mentions some episodes where it's clear this demonic aspect in particular strikes me when he says that it is clear that the demonic character of the doctor want to undo the wrong, does not tolerate evil, and prescribed doses of painkiller more than necessary to clear its patients. Interesting.

Then the speaker tells the other characters: Don Luigi and Elvira first, their relationship of mutual dedication event which is the real victory and true sense, according to him, the novel. Then Luke, the guy who recognizes the hope that the priest did not know anymore.

The rapporteur said details (and I tremble, because I do not want to reveal too much of the novel, not to lose the taste for reading to those who have not yet read and which is located in room), but does so with ease , almost as if it had to make.
strikes me as he always appoints the characters by name, contrary to what usually I do. For him the 'Don Luigi "," dr. Barbieri, "" Elvira, "" Luke, "while I am getting" the priest, "the Doctor," the boy "," perpetual. " And I realize that it is much better as he tells them. I almost afraid to call them by name, but obviously for him are more real and closer than they are to me.

Piergiorgio concludes talks about the victory of Christ in the deep relationship of Don Luigi and Elvira (here, now I call them by name ...), not so much sacrifice. And I realize that it's true. Greatest love of all love, which I'll then I in my speech, is the real victory that changes the fact, and draws to a well depth of evil told in the novel. But this comes with the next part.

March 13 2009, an evening like a hug - --- 1: waiting


I left a little to settle the emotions of the evening presentation of my novel in my city, my people, my friends and even those who do not know me.
Why I wrote only sentences of enthusiasm and instead want to tell you, for those who could not be there and maybe he wanted, or simply for those who are curious to try what can someone like me during such an event.
The rules of the websites and blogs in particular say they are short, and then divide things.
start with the wait.
My friend Paul with me toward the room where everything takes place. Arrive early and am already Alexandra, Sandra, and Catherine, that my publishers. People who moved into first person for me, asking for the room by contacting the City for sponsoring, organizing leaflets and all communications (including information on the Gazzettino ...). In short, I just arrived and already I feel grateful.
I remembered the room as smaller than it actually is. I think now that will not fill, but in the end is not really a thought that touches me so much. Certainly it is the room where the right to do such a thing. The place that I always thought when I imagined the presentation of my first novel. A beautiful chapel of the Philippine Fathers, wooden walls and a beautiful crucifix on dark red background behind the speakers' table. The colors of my cover and an early metaphor of the title.
will be waiting outside the door of a friend that I could hardly recognize Cremona in the dark (I thought it was a journalist ...). Daniel came to Cremona on purpose. And there already my emotion undergoes a low blow. A friend from Cremona part for me is all the way to leave home to wife and children to come and hear me talk about my book. It is a great thing? For me it would be enough too, the evening was already a sense, but the surprises do not end. The room is still empty and I'm already happy.

Sadlier Oxford Level E Answers

be read in, the comment by Mario Dupuis

E 'with sincere gratitude that carry in full below the comment to my novel that I received from Mario Dupuis, president of the group Edimar - welcome and important reality of education in Padua. He was able to read my novel with a depth that moves me. He has grasped the core is no longer true that the origin of my writing and, somehow, read myself - in addition to my novel.
For this I thank him heartily.

Here's his comment, which is the best introduction to the presentation evening tomorrow:

"Bighin Mauro's book is an ode to fatherhood that is born of gratitude.
Don Luigi embodies the opportunity real and amazing that a man, starting from the look on life that comes from faith, could be coupled with another man in the adventure of life is often sad and painful as a parent accompanying a child to death for him, as happens in novel.
None, except for a special grace that comes from God, can love each other to give life, but you can love others more than themselves, because he loves his fate and his destiny is to love the love most of his own, and the destiny of all life is worth more: "What is life if one then loses his soul?" And who is not Christian does not say that he does not believe in the soul because the soul is the source of all is the ultimate motive of every Our gesture is like a presence in us that makes us recognize what is good.
be a father means to love the destiny of another rather than oneself. Don Luigi had at heart the fate of the boy he did not know whether he could solve his problem distressing, but it was obvious that he loved the good fate of that boy, he wanted his life every day that fate would help to recognize good .
It is no coincidence that the last chapter before the epilogue, ends with the word "Son" and "sticking a seed in the fertile soil of a new
paternity."
One consequence of a man who lives like that, following this with a father's love life of a boy, is that they all enjoy. And so it is possible that "that old lady felt flowing from shiny black veins of marble, some heat."
Don Luigi in the prologue that the initial "feel the cool marble" lives a human story, so, in the prologue to the final heat emanating from its marble tomb. "It is finished".
Men are so like a face in the night. No more "face in the night" in your eyes all the despair that is possible, but "a face in the night": This is the news that the world expects. Thanks to my friend Mauro Bighin of reminding us. Mario Dupuis
