Cornelia

There are people who have lived a thousand lives in one, who have dedicated entirely the life to the pursuit and realization of their ideals. Cornelia was one of them. This book is a memoir of her life, eccentric, adventurous and mysterious even in her origins. It is a trip between the Middle East and Europe through the charm of Italian cities, the melodies of Baroque music, the scent of Persian spices, and her irrepressible loves. In the late 1970s Cornelia was fascinated by the discovery of the Kurdish people, to whose redemption she dedicated a portion of her life, and overwhelmed by her love for their political leader. Courageous choices entail heavy sacrifices: in this case relationship with her daughters. After reading the book there will be someone who will love her, acknowledging the merit of personal fulfillment, and those who will condem of having denied the role as a mother. Anyone who had lived in so many places would have felt like a refugee and a vagabond; she managed to integrate into different environments. The author of the book, friend of Cornelia, takes us on a journey of discovery of this women. The search seems endless and, for this reason, fascinating.
