Synopsis "Dante: Orizzonti Dell'esilio / Landscapes of Exile"

Si possono rappresentare i luoghi di un esilio, quand'esso non ha - per l'esule - niente di "proprio"? Quando - soprattutto per Dante - i nomi che sono il paesaggio della memoria affiorano ormai in dolente litania: "Sacchetti, Giuochi, Fifanti e Barucci / [...] Sizii e Arrigucci" (Par., XVI, 104 e 108). Alberto Manguel e Nicola Giuseppe Smerilli ci accompagnano nella Ravenna che gli occhi di Dante poterono contemplare negli sguardi eterni che lo fissavano dalle icone musive dei monumenti bizantini nella citta dell'ultimo rifugio. L'appello che discende da quelle pareti azzurre e oro non detta soltanto le luminose tessere del Paradiso ma rimuove altresi dal "qui" ogni parvenza: "In Dante ci sono immagini che si allontanano e si accomiatano. E difficile scendere le valli del suo verso dai mille addii". La formula di Osip Mandel'tam ci accompagna in questo viaggio di parole e immagini, pronte a svanire dalla vista per imprimersi nella mente, in un delicato incidersi del sempre: "[...] si come cera da suggello, / che la figura impressa non trasmuta" (Purg., XXXIII, 79-80). Un libro che raccoglie, come ha scritto Alberto Manguel, "il respiro dell'universo nel respiro della parola".

Alberto Manguel is a writer, editor, translator, and essayist of Argentine-Canadian descent, born in Buenos Aires on March 13, 1948. Internationally recognized for his profound reflection on reading, books, and libraries, Manguel has dedicated much of his work to exploring the connection between human beings and the written word.

During his youth, he briefly worked as a reader for Jorge Luis Borges, an experience that deeply marked his life and his view of the act of reading. In the 1980s, he moved to Canada, where he became a citizen and developed much of his career as an author. He also lived in other countries, such as France and Germany, and has worked in various roles related to the publishing, academic, and library worlds.

Among his most famous books are A History of Reading (1996), The Library at Night (2006), and The Traveler with the Light Luggage (2011). His work blends personal memory, cultural history, and literary criticism, with a scholarly yet accessible style.

He was the director of the National Library of Argentina from 2016 to 2018. Considered a great contemporary humanist, Manguel continues to be an influential figure in thinking about written culture and reading as a form of knowledge and freedom.
