Tomorrow, Friday 5 July 2019, Lorenzo Peluso will present his latest literary work “I Giardini di Bagh-e Babur”, published by Graus Edizioni.
The presentation at 10.30 am at the headquarters of the Order of Journalists of Campania.
Talking about it with the author will be Ottavio Lucarelli, president of the Order of Journalists of Campania, Colonel Vincenzo Lauro, Commander of the Italian Headquarters at the NATO base in Lago Patria, and Dr. Carmine Pinto, professor of Modern History at the University of Salerno.
“The Gardens of Bagh-e Babur” is an interesting mix of travel chronicles and war chronicles. In this simultaneously raw and imaginative story, the journalistic skills of Lorenzo Peluso stand out, accompanying the reader “from the sands of Iraq to the mountains of Afghanistan, on the road to Oxiana […]”.
From reading the latest work of the investigative journalist, the kaleidoscopic and complex image of a fascinating and problematic Middle East emerges, leading the reader into an immanent war reality that the average European citizen, with the exception of the Balkan area, seems to have put away in the dusty closet of historical memory whose last piled up relic dates back to the Second World War.
With “The Gardens of Bagh-e Babur” Lorenzo Peluso brings the experience of war — the real one, not the one on TV and social media — to the attention of the Italian reader through an agile and detailed narration, without ever falling into the pornography of pain. The war told by Peluso, while masterfully illustrating the political background of the rooms of power, is a profoundly human war, and it is the testimony of the fact that, despite the drones and the modernity of war, it is still women, men and children made of flesh, blood and dreams, who pay the price.
