brossura L'autore in questo libro racconta il suo giro del mondo in barca a vela durato nove anni. Non è una gara contro il tempo, ma la realizzazione di un uomo che, avvicinandosi al tramonto, decide di partire e, durante il percorso scopre che il problema maggiore non era quello di affrontarsi con la furia dei lontani mari del Sud, ma la ricerca di una Penelope che potesse essere l'ultima donna della sua vita. Alla fine la trova, si infatua di lei, la vuole a ogni costo e la sposa ma, nel momento in cui scopre che lei trasforma il sentimento in inganno, l'abbandona al suo destino e parte per un altro viaggio ancora più ardito: attraversare in solitario lo stretto di Bering. Nel libro si susseguono momenti diversi, dai paradisi tropicali, al ritrovamento dell'isola deserta, alle grandi burrasche e alla tenerezza di un animo forte e gentile.

brossura 2011: ricorrono i 150 anni dell'Unità d'Italia. Dea Gitana, una barca a vela di 10 metri, si trova, suo malgrado, coinvolta in un viaggio da Trieste a San Remo per celebrare l'avvenimento. Sotto i suoi occhi scorreranno le coste italiane, ricche di Storia e di storie, talvolta gioiose, altre volte tristi o drammatiche. Porterà a termine la sua missione convinta, alla fine, di aver compiuto qualcosa di bello. Anche voi potete fare qualcosa di bello insieme a Dea.
