Grandini Obes
Australia. Un giro in bicicletta
br. In questo suo quinto libro-racconto l'autore ci porta con lui lungo i sei mesi pedalati in Australia, tra maggio e ottobre 2018. Non una guida turistica, non un elenco di tappe con le relative prestazioni atletiche. I chilometri percorsi si susseguono in una avventura continua. Nulla è scontato; nemmeno l'itinerario. La Natura rigogliosa e prepotente, la vita degli Aborigeni, la quotidianità dei tanti personaggi incontrati lungo la via, le storie di altri viaggiatori incrociati per strada, vengono descritti con essenzialità e sensibilità. Toccanti le parole con cui dipinge i tramonti e le notti stellate trascorse accampandosi nella sconfinata solitudine del bush australiano. La fatica incontrata nei lunghi e difficili percorsi, scelti alla ricerca della vera Australia, lontano dai soliti cliché turistici, è la protagonista principale di questo racconto e ben descrive lo spirito con cui l'autore affronta le sue avventure. Gli spunti autoironici e le considerazioni genuine fanno da contraltare e rendono avvincente e piacevole la lettura.
