Extra Convitto/ Alessandra Politi

"Flee Yael! Take flight for life, take back your freedom! Men come and go! They are born and they die! Freedom is eternal, nothing can destroy it!". Yael, the protagonist of the new book by Alessandra Politi from Salento 'Yael Peretz', published by Edizioni Esperidi, fights for freedom. In the spaces of the Bernardini library, journalist Emanuela Boccassini dialogues with the author, while Riccardo Magnolo reads passages from the book in the presence of publisher Claudio Martino. When Yael and Matias meet, she is a young girl fleeing the war, he a successful director, in Israel to shoot some scenes for his latest film. Both are hungry for life and love. Constantly in danger in a highly threatened world, they search for spaces in the gaps and words in the silences, they read a glance as poetry and always combine dreams with the future. Yael finds salvation, fighting for a right that is by no means taken for granted: women's freedom. For herself, for all, in a battle of civilisation rather than of gender. The armour that protects her from ignorance and prejudice shatters into a thousand pieces when true love touches her. So her heart is finally saved. And not just hers.
