"In Vespa" Giorgio Bettinelli (Feltrinelli Traveller)


In Vespa è il resoconto di un viaggio bizzarro e contro ogni pronostico attraverso 10 Paesi, dall'Europa all'Asia, da Roma a Saigon, a bordo di una semplice Vespa. Bardato all'inverosimile, lo scooter di Bettinelli parte da piazza del Popolo in July of 1992 to reach Saigon in March 1993.
Bettinelli's journey seems to confirm the belief of those who say that more than half the journey is important. In fact, solo and with half the rugged desert plain unsuitable or overcrowded and crumbling streets of Calcutta, the route of Bettinelli is gradually constellation of encounters, smells, tastes and ongoing complications when you consider the success rate of a similar trip will diminish until it becomes small mishaps. The man Vespa us to appreciate the disappointment of dust under the teeth and the joy of achievements. Auto
ironic, cool, In Vespa is the description of a challenge against themselves against their own limits while not overdoing it in easy car celebrations. Every single emotion in the reader's eyes, weakness and joy, madness and seriousness, in a piece of life that blends, albeit fleeting, with that of indigenous peoples and travelers passing through. Vespa In a word: exciting.

The only policy: Democracy for China


Roma - 10/05/2007 - At about 5 months of the next Congress of the Communist Party of China, a statement fuels the debate on reforming the political system. They sound like threats to the statements made by a party veteran, Xie Tao, 85, who joined the CCP in 1946 and how many fell victim of Mao's purges in the '50s. From the columns of the monthly Yanhuang Chunqiu (China through the ages), and the many discussion forums on the net on which were published in the words of the senior member of the CCP, Xie made it known in a loud voice that "The reform of the political system can no longer be postponed "and that" the only constitutional democracy can solve the basic problems of corruption in the party. " This issue came to light in recent years, threatening the fragile balance of the body politic ". In 2006, for example, the core of the Communist Party in Shanghai has been under investigation for the "pension scandal, which led to the decimation of the leadership team.
"Only democratic socialism can save China," Xie announced that his words undermines the modus operandi of one-party states and in the struggle between capitalism and Marxism perpetratasi in the twentieth century, the Swedish democratic socialism comes out winning . He notes also that in applying the Marxist doctrine is not required of single-party dictatorship.
The Office of the party propaganda was quick to say that the public statements of Xie is an attempt to take the "capitalist road" by a "bourgeois liberalization", echoing the tone of criticism of the pro-democracy movement tragically thwarted in Tiananmen Square in 1989. Remember that in the past time discussions on the reform of the political system have become worse and intensify as we approach the date of the Congress of the CCP, creating discrepancies still not capable of posing a real schism.

A collection of amazing stories from the first Chinese writer and Nobel laureate.

The work consists of six stories, holds in each of them a huge amount of food for thought, they do raise many times the eyes of the reader from the book to get lost in a maze of speculation, fueled by a style panting, breathless, in which the story is intricate without any interruption. You may find, in fact, next to the poignant mental work of a protagonist in search of her inner self, the goal to Maradona World Cup 1986.

Tourism in Tibet and the railway Qinghai-Tibet


Rome - 04/05/2007 - The Department of Tourism in Tibet has promised to freeze ticket prices this year for entry to all tourist attractions. Since the opening of Qinghai-Tibet railway - which took place July 1, 2006 - Tibet has seen an influx of visitors to about 116,000 people in the first quarter with a consequent increase in the business of 105 million yuan (13.64 million U.S. dollars).
Among the most visited places in the Potala Palace - once home to the Dalai Lama, before the flight to Dharamsala in India - which receives 1,400 visits a day. Due to the continued influx of tourists visiting the hallowed halls of Buddhism, the office responsible for studying plans to adjust the number of daily visitors, in order to safeguard the integrity the ancient palace.
The stretch of railway linking Qinghai Province to Lhasa - the provincial capital of Tibet - has made major changes in the economy of the autonomous region - the first accessible only by aircraft or land - leading to hopes the administration in a turnover in 2007 to 3.4 billion yuan.
While the increase in earnings in the tourism sector recorded after the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet railway has brought benefits to the Treasury of the autonomous region at least by another, facilitated links with the rest of China seems to be a disadvantage for the Tibetans. The Tibetan soil, in fact, is rich in oil deposits, coal, uranium, gold and copper that will represent, secondo la ong Free Tibet Campaign , il 40 percento delle risorse minerarie cinesi. Si teme, quindi, che i materiali estratti in Tibet vadano a colmare le richieste delle regioni interne cinesi, senza perciò portare vantaggio agli abitanti della regione autonoma del Tibet.
