{"product_id":"minha-guerra-alheia","title":"My other people's war","description":"\"The bombs fall slowly. I don't know how it's possible, with that weight. But they fall slowly, or I saw them fall slowly, very slowly. And over my head, coming toward me. It wasn't me they were after, it wasn't that family lying in the bush that was the target of so much ammunition.\" A war scene begins this book and the life of Marina Colasanti. Before an open-air altar surrounded by soldiers and machine guns, her parents marry. The groom, in uniform, is about to depart for another stage of the Italian colonial conquest of Africa. It was in Africa, in Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, that the writer would be born two years later. This is not just a memoir, it is a document. A journalist with a prolific career in newspapers and magazines, Marina combines her memories with intense research to paint, through the family saga, a portrait of an era and the conflict that shook the world. After Asmara, Tripoli, in Libya. Life in the colony is vibrant: hunting trips, car races, parties under torchlit tents. But the dream would be short-lived. With the outbreak of World War II and the return to Italy, she would have to face new times. Her fascist father, her art historian grandfather, her costume designer uncle, an opera scene, letters from the poet d'Annunzio, a film shoot in Cinecittá, intersect with the advance of the Allies, the lack of genres, an act of espionage, fear, and insecurity. This captivating book, which reads like a novel, reveals another facet of this writer already renowned for her work in fiction, essays, and poetry.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159266476284,"sku":"9788501090911","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/minha-guerra-alheia","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
