Hello, Mafalda.
I do not know what the book world's most expensive (not to speak of the Gutenberg Bible, talk about books just more modern), it seemed to me from something I read long ago that was a rare book about American birds put down ' auction at Christie's. Moreover, a customer told me my money for having participated in an auction at Christie's, not what I asked for, too bad. And looking back most of what I know comes from "something I read long ago", then I do not remember where I read them and mix together, like a big " stream of feed in Google Reader that I delete the references to sources. Said: I do not know what is objectively the most expensive book, but what now would lead me to shell out more money would be Handbook of Contemporary History in use at colleges or universities between 200 years, a time that I hope sufficient for the metabolism of these bitter years . A detached eye, capable of small scale brawl daily and placed in the stream of events that their predecessors and that, for better or for worse, will follow. How
Raf, that he wondered what would remain of those eighties, I wonder what will remain of the claims and controversies, crises and wars of resistance and inquetude, revolutions and the little idiosyncrasies that accompany us every day. Maybe we would find that in these years we are looking at the wrong side, that the true meaning of what is happening elsewhere, or, and it is a feeling that we probably many, we look to the bottom of the implications of so many seemingly small signals. Perhaps we would find that these years were only the prelude to a slow down in some scheme to the birth of which we have been able to resist, or that the shots were only the tail of yet another unfortunate two decades from which to recover with or without Marshall plans but with good will and good brains to inspire good deeds.
Maybe we would realize that today is already late, or will be in ten or twenty years.
Or that all our concerns on hold separate recyclable garbage from the undifferentiated takes a bit 'in second place alien invasion of 2097 and the subsequent exhausting war of independence (which sees an end in 2185 with a treaty peace among the few survivors and the millions of land invaders Zxorkxv).
Or that there will be no more schools, colleges and universities, because another reform of the school was abolished to cut unnecessary costs (replacing them with a stage free compulsory period of 20 years , to help integrate young people into employment).
We discover a lot of short things, maybe that Don (San) Verzè really helped Berlusconi to stay alive until then, and still the Government of Italy that is not much different from today, apart altogether acceptable restoration of the ius primae noctis with the President of the Council for all the firstborn in exchange for stability and dell'allontamento risk of a return to power of Communists. The fact is
that history in 2211 as two hundred years ago, writes the winner, and winner of oblique light illuminates all of the above. And even then the court about what the future is now dependent on a lot of things, with no fucking neutrality.
But come on, I personally a bit 'of a few pennies for spoiler bet the future of this grotesque and pathetic dance it would pull out, would not you?
