ill., br. È il diario di tre indimenticabili viaggi in Australia. È il racconto della vita vissuta in questa terra lontana, la descrizione dei luoghi esplorati e delle sensazioni provate dall'autore. Vuole essere spunto anche per i "viaggiatori" che intendono "perlustrare" sia posti conosciuti sia posti lontani dai flussi turistici, nel vero cuore dell'Australia. Vi sono sicuramente indicazioni utili e "dritte" per spendere nel miglior modo il tempo. Questa terra piena di misteri e di sogni rimane uno dei pochi posti al mondo dove spazi infiniti rapiscono l'occhio e dove la presenza degli uomini è spesso irrilevante, trascurabile, direi quasi insignificante. In questo continente dai colori talora violenti, talora soffusi, puoi ascoltare il silenzio delle foreste pluviali, vivere la solitudine dei grandi deserti, vagare nella natura incontaminata inebriandoti dei suoi profumi, nuotare in baie dai colori allucinanti, passeggiare lungo incredibili spiagge che si prolungano all'infinito, fare il nomade stregato dal continuo mutare dei paesaggi, riposare in posti dimenticati da Dio, guidare su piste al limite dell'impossibile, gustare fino in fondo il vero senso di libertà.

Firenze, (1966) 8vo stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 418/420 con una tavola fotografica. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.
