"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.
