  • Ritorno al naturale

    Libro dotato di foto spettacolari che regalano emozioni che avvicinano l'uomo spettatore occidentale moderno al mondo naturale che fu suo ma sicuramente dimenticato, sfoggiando in modo incotaminato cerimonie di diverso tipo, anche molto diverse da regione a regione, ma tutti con lo spirito comune di celebrare la natura umana, in tutte le sue facce, rivolta al positivo vivere insieme.
