The Florville bookshop in Brescia is pleased & proud to invite you to the presentation of the book “Noodles, water boiling and tears”, by Alberto Albertini (Rubbettino), on Friday 14 June at 8.45pm at L’orto in via Solferino, 46D. The bookseller Massimiliano will dialogue with the author.
“Noodles, boiling water and tears” means sacrifice, work, study and a lot of effort.
There are no recipes for success in life, but some valid advice can mark the path of those who want to grow, fully realize themselves (or at least try) and therefore live better.
In this book full of anecdotes and brilliant quotes, Alberto Albertini takes inspiration from the metaphor of instant food – the freeze-dried ramen that traveling workers consume – to tell a story of human successes in a concise form like that of a breviary. Sports champions, philosophers, writers, philanthropists, scientists and other excellences appear with their examples and their words, narrated in clear and effective prose.
Furthermore, it is also the testimony of a man who treasures the experience of an entrepreneur, professor and scholar. After the narrative debut of La Classe Adversa, Albertini returns with an intimate story, which ranges between genres, essay, short story and pamphlet. A text aimed not only at young students, but also at those looking for a different path to take in their future.
