Cornelia #986178

There are people who have lived a thousand lives in one to the realization of their ideals. Cornelia was one of them. This book is a memoir of adventurous life of a woman who, traveling and living between the Middle East and Europe, was captivated by the charm of Italian cities, the melodies of Baroque music, the scent of Persian spices, and overwhelmed by irrepressible loves. In the late 1970s Cornelia was fascinated by the discovery of the Kurdish people, to whose redemption she dedicated a significant portion of her life, and overwhelmed by her love for their political leader. Courageous choices entail heavy sacrifices: in this case, her relationship with her daughters. There will be someone who will love her celebrating her personal fulfillment, and those who will condem, accusing her of having denied the role as a mother. Anyone else who had lived in so many places like her 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 this journey of discovery of this woman, in many ways mysterious even in her origins. The search seems endless and, for this reason, very fascinating.
