THE BOOK OF THE DAY
The book of the day in Panassi Bookshops: “The end of England. A lost country, a wavering throne” by Antonio Caprarica. The times of Cool Britannia now seem far away, those “roaring” years between the 20th and 21st centuries in which London’s star shone brighter than ever, representing in the collective imagination a lighthouse to look to to understand where the world was going. world. From the music of the Spice Girls to the art of Damien Hirst, from the phenomenon David Beckham to the fashion of Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood to the cinema of Danny Boyle, there was an era in which Great Britain was the nerve center of trends and revolutions, at the forefront in all fields, even in politics, with the election of its new, young prime minister, Tony Blair. But today, almost thirty years later, what is left of that Wonderland? Between Brexit and the sensational exit from the European Union, the economic crisis, the death of Elizabeth, the disintegration of the royal family and the serious illnesses that struck the new king and the future queen, a prime minister to forget who was followed by others whose names we barely remember, the light of the United Kingdom seems to be getting dimmer and dimmer. And so who better than Antonio Caprarica – narrator and privileged witness who has been “explaining” British society to Italians for years – can help us understand the causes of the decline and the prospects of a nation which, despite appearing increasingly distant, we continue to look at with affection?
