Oriana Fallaci Boeken

Autobiografie van de Italiaanse journaliste ten tijde van de oorlog in Vietnam.

Het leven van de Griekse dichter en vrijheidsstrijder Alexander Panagoulis die bijna vijf jaar geleden onder verdachte omstandigheden bij een auto-ongeluk om het leven kwam.

"What's the point anyway — Of suffering, dying? It teaches us to live, boy. A man who does not struggle does not live, he survives." (quote from the book)The book is a pseudo-biography about Alexandros Panagoulis written in the form of a novel. Fallaci had an intense romantic relationship with Panagoulis. She uses the novel to put forth her view that Panagoulis was assassinated by a vast conspiracy, a view widely shared by many Greeks.

Published by Rizzoli in 1975, Letter to a Child Never Born was quickly translated and sold in twenty-seven countries, becoming an extraordinary world success. It is the tragic monologue of a woman speaking with the child she carries in her womb. This letter confronts the burning theme of abortion, and the meaning of life, by asking difficult questions: Is it fair to impose life even if it means suffering? Would it be better not to be born at all? Letter to a Child Never Born touches on the real meaning of being a woman: the power to give life or not. When the book begins, the protagonist is upset after learning she is pregnant. She knows nothing about the child, except that this creature depends totally and uniquely on her own choices. The creation of another person directly within one’s own body is a very shocking thing. The sense of responsibility is huge; it is a heavy burden that gives life to endless reflections, from the origin of our existence to the shame of our selfishness. If the child could choose, would he prefer to be born, to grow up, and to suffer, or would he return to the joyful limbo from which he came? A woman’s freedom and individuality are also challenged by a newborn—should she renounce her freedom, her job, and her choice? What should she do at this point?

Tra battaglie, offensive, carestie e guerriglia urbana Niente e così sia non è solo la testimonianza di un anno passato in Vietnam (Viet-Nam). Raccontandoci cosa successe a cavallo tra il 1967 e il 1968, in quello scontro che vide protagonisti gli Stati Uniti, Oriana Fallaci insegue anche una risposta intorno al significato della vita. L’autrice si avvicina alla guerra come un medico affronta una malattia; l’interesse, il fascino guidano lo studio di un fenomeno del quale si conosce l’inevitabilità, ma che si cerca di sconfiggere, il desiderio di sezionare in tanti piccoli pezzetti un pericolo mortale per conoscerlo in ogni sua minima sfumatura e sapere meglio come evitarlo.

Autointervista di una donna che ha il coraggio di scrivere la verità sugli altri e su sé stessa. Temi: il cancro morale che divora l'Occidente e quello fisico che divora lei. L'antioccidentalismo, il filoislamismo, il parallelo tra l'Europa del 1938 e l'Eurabia d'oggi, il nuovo nazifascismo che avanza vestito da nazi-islamismo. In questa edizione, oltre ai numerosi inserti, ha aggiunto un post-scriptum: L'Apocalisse . Praticamente un nuovo libro (oltre 100 pagine) col quale, rifacendosi all'Apocalisse dell'evangelista Giovanni e sempre intervistando sé stessa, completa e conclude il suo lavoro.
