Jane Ray Libri

Fidanzati, amici, sposi, dalla Grecia antica all'India misteriosa, dalla Bibbia al medioevo. Sono i protagonisti di queste storie, lontani nello spazio e nel tempo, ma uniti da un destino comune: quello di amare ed essere amati. Dopo l'esperienza dell'amore, tutto diventa possibile: lieto fine o tragedia, felicità pura o immenso dolore. E tutti sono pronti ad accogliere il proprio destino - anche quando è crudele come quello di Romeo e Giulietta, o di Tristano e Isotta - pur di non rinunciare all'amore.

"At the very beginning of the world the earth was a dry and dusty place, where nothing could live and nothing could grow. So God made a mist, which watered the ground all over. Then, with his great hands, he formed the first man out of the clay of the newly watered earth."Jane Ray's beautiful version of the familiar story takes into account creation myths the world over. The story of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden is powerful because it is the story of all the children growing up and going out into the world. The need to recreate that perfect garden and live again in harmony with the environment is more pressing today than ever before.An Eden Project Book

In "Romeo e Giulietta" (1595-1596) la morte è presente in vario modo fin dall'inizio. Ma è con il duello tra Mercuzio e Tebaldo che essa entra realmente in scena e avvia quella sua presa di possesso della città cui la tragedia conduce. Non solo, ma che la prima vittima sia Mercuzio, simbolo di giovinezza e di libertà, della gioia di vivere e della stessa gioia di far teatro, è anche indicativo di chi sia l'oggetto di questo assalto della morte: non i vecchi, ma i giovani, non il declinare della vita, ma il suo sbocciare, non la stanchezza, l'aridità del cuore, ma la sua freschezza, il suo desiderio d'amore. Tebaldo uccide Mercuzio; Romeo uccide Tebaldo, finché, come sappiamo, la morte aggredisce anche Romeo e Giulietta, e la "bella Verona" celebrata all'inizio si trasforma in una tomba. Nulla di vivo resta se non i vecchi, la cui faida e il cui egoismo, non il caso, hanno ucciso i giovani. Romeo e Giulietta potranno finalmente stare insieme ma solo nella cripta, con il loro amore raggelato per l'eternità nelle statue d'oro che i carnefici eleveranno a ricordo.
