How can we choose the way? From this question begins the intimate and profound journey on which Mario Calabresi takes us with his new book, Il tempo nel bosco, which the author will present in dialogue with journalist Federica Furino for OGR Talks on November 25, at 6.30 PM.

Traveling around Italy, Calabresi collects fragments of lives that are ordinary and extraordinary at the same time, stories of people who courageously found a way even in uncertainty, such as an engineer who records the sounds of nature to pass them on to future generations, a poetess who learns from silence to listen to the invisible, a philosophy professor who teaches to look at limits as opportunities, and a centenarian who has been taking care of a forest all his life.

Each meeting is an invitation to rediscover the importance of time and of a deep connection with nature. In a world that pushes us to speed up, it is a slow path, a precious testimony to rediscover the value of waiting and boredom and put the important things, not the urgent ones, back into focus.
