Valbonesi Maria
Preti di montagna
ill., br. Girolamo Magni, Andrea Busoni, Jacopo Lori: tre sacerdoti vissuti tra il XVI e il XVIII secolo che esercitarono la propria missione sulla Montagna Pistoiese.In un'epoca in cui le pievi erano l'unico punto di riferimento comune per le genti che vivevano disperse fra pascoli e boschi, i "preti di montagna" svolgevano un ruolo chiave nella diffusione della cultura: un intenso lavoro di cui, molto spesso, restano tracce assai esigue. Ma studiando epistolari e resoconti, cercando tra ricordi e carte d'archivio, l'autrice è riuscita a ricostruire queste tre vite esemplari e a restituircele in un racconto vivace e appassionante.

Varotto Mauro
Montagne del Novecento. Il volto della modernità nelle Alpi e Prealpi venete
ill., br. Il Novecento ha lasciato un'eredità epocale su Alpi e Prealpi venete. Declino demografico, fenomeni diffusi di abbandono e degrado di strutture e manufatti, avanzata della vegetazione spontanea e della wilderness si contrappongono all'esplosione degli spazi dedicati al playground turistico, all'approvvigionamento idroelettrico, all'imbalsamazione memoriale. Dal Massiccio del Grappa al Canale di Brenta, dalla Val Belluna alle Dolomiti Bellunesi, dalla Val di Fassa al territorio agordino, dalle Prealpi veronesi alla Marmolada, il volume ripercorre le tappe di una trasformazione che si chiude con l'inizio di una nuova fase alle soglie del terzo millennio. Il XX secolo ci ha consegnato una montagna mediamente più ricca ma profondamente dicotomica, specializzata ma impoverita nella sua complessità polifunzionale. Più che un atto di denuncia, l'invito a una diversa consapevolezza del mondo alpino: forse è giunto il momento di pensare che un'altra montagna è possibile.

Varotto Mauro
Montagne di mezzo. Una nuova geografia
br. Il Novecento ha portato a compimento nella montagna italiana il disegno della modernità. Abbandono e marginalità diffusi da una parte, divertissement turistico dall'altra hanno scavato divari territoriali profondi che richiedono oggi di essere ripensati. Obiettivo di questo libro è uscire da tale schema, puntando l'attenzione sui fenomeni sempre più diffusi di ritorno alle «terre alte» e inquadrandoli entro un'inedita cornice. Luoghi apparentemente perdenti sono tornati infatti al centro di movimenti di «nuova resistenza» ai modelli dominanti di standardizzazione, specializzazione e intensificazione produttiva che hanno decretato la crisi della montagna contemporanea o le sue effimere fortune. "Montagne di mezzo" traccia cosí i contorni di un'idea nuova di territorio, diversa da quella tuttora dominante nei media e nell'opinione pubblica, propone un alfabeto per dare valore a realtà minori, in posizione intermedia tra vette celebrate e fondivalle congestionati. Le montagne di mezzo non sono solo una realtà altimetrica, bensí luoghi che tengono insieme passato e futuro, rilanciando un'idea di abitare che concilia istanze climatiche sempre più stringenti, nuove energie sociali e modelli virtuosi di gestione e sviluppo della montagna.

Vayer Antoine; Anonimo
Confessioni di un ciclista mascherato
br. L'autore di questo libro è un corridore di alto livello, che ha preso parte con successo a tutti i grandi Giri - Francia, Italia, Spagna -, alle Olimpiadi e a tutte le classiche più importanti. Ha raccontato la sua storia ad Antoine Vayer, ex allenatore professionista, ora giornalista di spicco, già collaboratore di Le Monde e Liberation, considerato uno dei più grandi conoscitori di questo mondo. Il motivo per cui il ciclista deve restare anonimo è facile: è ancora in attività e non vuole restare disoccupato. Perché quel che racconta non fa piacere a nessuno. Un girone infernale, così viene descritto il sistema del ciclismo professionistico. Il carrozzone festante delle gare, i tifosi lungo le strade e tutta l'epica che accompagna le tappe sono solo uno scenario, dietro cui si svolgono i veri giochi. Molto di quello che va in scena è concordato, sia all'interno delle squadre che tra corridori di squadre avversarie. I ruoli, dal leader al gregario alla nuova promessa, e a volte i risultati, sono spesso assegnati preliminarmente e ben poco è lasciato al caso. I ciclisti, vittime e complici di questo sistema, sanno che la carriera ad alti livelli dura poco, un anno vale due per loro, e che non ci vuol molto a venire estromessi dal gioco e perdere valore. Per questo la concorrenza è spietata e ogni atleta è disposto a qualunque sacrificio per restare al top. Vita famigliare, divertimento, vacanze, amicizie, la vita del ciclista è una rinuncia continua. Compresa la salute, perché il doping è dato per scontato da tutti, ciclisti, manager, sponsor. Sono gli stessi che, quando qualcuno viene beccato, gridano allo scandalo. Non lascia nulla all'immaginazione, l'autore. Con aneddoti personali e una scrittura diretta che chiama le cose con il loro nome, prende forma un mondo oscuro fatto di scommesse, compravendite - si impara anche a leggere certi gesti che si vedono tra i ciclisti nelle grandi gare - enormi e non sempre puliti giri di soldi, egoismi, ipocrisie, invidie. E molta paura.
