Last Stop


A few more hours .... and the draft of the forthcoming book "LOOKING BEYOND THE DUNES" will be finally completed.
The last editing of the text, adding a few sentences here and there, last-minute doubts: just as always. It's always very emotional to give life to a book, although this time it was written by four hands, along with Fabio. And then there is also another innovation: for the first time my book is being made also into an audio book, since the work is also aimed at readers who are blind. We decided to record it with our real voices and the effect is certainly very emotional. Inevitably, bring life to the book has touched our hearts and my thoughts return there, in the middle of the desert with my partner that I love so much. Fabio was amazing: he managed to find a way to read the text using a particular computer program and retell our adventure with his own voice. Behind the scenes of the demanding production work, followed with great professionalism by Maurizio Camponovo, was our cameraman and photographer in Morocco, and the result exceeds all expectations. The market for audio books in Italy, unfortunately, is rather limited, while abroad, it is widespread. It is not a product intended only for those who cannot see, but can also be used by people that, for work, spend a lot of time in the car, from children with dyslexia to the elderly who because of diseases such as stroke have difficulty reading.
It's always a great satisfaction to give life to a book: this time it's even more so because it's a whole new experience shared someone who, due to a very serious disability, found in this location new emotions and lots of positive energy.
