AL GIARDINO ANCORA NON L'HO DETTO

This pensive mediation is written from the farthest end of life , from a land we normally would not dare to explore: in spite of all this it is a call to life, a beautiful meditation of what is most precious in our existence

Diagnosed almost three years ago with ALS , Pia has miraculously found the energy to write this little classic, this jewel of a book that weaves together her close and participant love of nature - of the garden she has tended for many years and that must now evolve without her hand - the little accidents of her daily life, her books and her friends. “The lightness I experience is perhaps coming from having thrown overboard the ballast of the future, while feeling indifferent to the sorrows of the past. Immersed in the present moment as never before, I am at last a part of my garden, of that floating world of ceaseless transformation.” Pia Pera is a writer , translator and a scholar of Russian literature. She's also a gardener.
