‎Diario di un'ostetrica al contrario. Biografia di un'accompagnatrice nella morte e nel morire‎

‎ril. «Se qualcuno mi avesse predetto, 20 anni fa, che mi sarei occupata di morte e di morire, con gioia e curiosità, l'avrei semplicemente preso per pazzo. E invece è stato proprio così. Il mio viaggio in questo territorio fecondo, comincia da lontano. Ho scritto questo libro per Voi, con semplicità e cuore, per descrivervi questo percorso, parlando di me in prima persona, affinché la mia esperienza possa invitarvi a riflettere e far ardere più vivacemente la fiamma che forse, qualcuno di voi, sta intravvedendo dentro di sé. Una fiamma di interesse verso la morte, l'argomento della vita che sembra essere il più ostile, il più spaventoso e il più denso di domande eternamente senza risposta. Risposte che non saranno mai certe, cosicché l'uomo possa continuare a ricercarle dentro sé stesso.»‎

‎Pensieri intorno ad una teoria di legislazione penale‎

‎In 8, pp. 181 + (1b) + (2) + (2b). Antica firma di possesso al controp. ant. Danni restaurati al p. post. Legatura in p. pg. coeva. Trattato che descrive le teorie legislative in ambito giudiziario dall'antichita' focalizzandosi poi sul concetto di 'vendetta pubblica' riconosciuto da Vecchioni come fondamento della penalita'. Secondo l'A. ordinariamente la parola vendetta fa pensare ad una ignobile passione che 'rende taluno avido del male di colui da cui si crede offeso, e spesse volte lo spinge a procurarlo per vie anche vili ed ingiuste [...] Or dunque senza perder tempo io dichiaro, che per vendetta non intendo una passione, ma una naturale tendenza. [...] La vendetta pubblica e' un'espressione che sta comunemente in bocca di tutti, e ch'e' adoperata da tanti valorosi scrittori, e dalle stesse leggi: potra' dirsi che con un si' autorevole consenso si sia attribuita una vera improbita' di sentimenti all'intero corpo dello stato? Tutte le legislazioni hanno permesso agli offesi di sollecitar la loro vendetta legale, che tenesse luogo dell'abolita vendetta personale: si dira' che in tal modo si sia secondata e fomentata una rea passione?'. Carlo Vecchioni fu vicepresidente della Suprema Corte di Giustizia di Napoli.‎

‎Fido non è più quì. Dolore e lutto per la perdita di un animale da compagnia‎

‎br. Gli animali ci insegnano a relazionarci con loro, aggiungono bellezza alle nostre esistenze amandoci e apprezzandoci senza giudicarci, donandoci grandi emozioni e compagnia, aiutandoci anche nei momenti di tristezza e difficoltà. Già Freud aveva riconosciuto come "il sentimento che proviamo per i cani è lo stesso che proviamo per i bambini", preludendo ai recenti studi scientifici che dimostrano come, tra le persone e i loro animali, si formino veri e propri legami affettivi di dedizione e fedeltà. L'autrice ci parla di questa relazione, del dolore che si prova quando i nostri animali ci lasciano per sempre e di tutti gli aspetti che sarebbe opportuno conoscere e affrontare. Il lutto per la perdita di un animale da compagnia è infatti un processo simile a quello per la perdita di una persona cara. Ma la poca possibilità di esprimere questa sofferenza, determina l'impossibilità di vivere appieno i sentimenti legati a questo lutto attraverso le modalità rituali. I limiti etici ci impediscono di considerare Fido come parte della famiglia. Questo libro è stato scritto per dare indicazioni ed aiuto concreto a chi deve affrontare il dolore per la perdita del proprio animale d'affezione.‎
