Durante l’evento sarà inoltre possibile acquistare l’acclamata raccolta di poesie “&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aphorism.it/jason_ray_forbus/libri/il_blu_silente/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Il Blu Silente&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;” nonché il simpatico romanzo illustrato per ragazzi “&lt;a href=&quot;http://aphorism.it/jason_ray_forbus/libri/la_rivolta_degli_scheletri_nellarmadio/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;La Rivolta degli Scheletri nell’Armadio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;”, quest’ultimo già vincitore di ottime recensioni. Un incontro da non perdere nella suggestiva cornice del Palazzo de Vio a Gaeta medioevale con questo giovane scrittore amante della natura e della bellezza.

In alto, fra le nuvole gravide, sulle cime dei monti, solo un corvo volava. Le sue piccole ali erano intirizzite dal freddo, le sue piume zuppe di neve, il suo becco ricoperto di ghiaccio; eppure volava, testardo, volava contro il vento del mondo che ululava fra le pareti rocciose.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;«Muninn!» Chiamava, spiando ogni anfratto nella pietra. «Dove sei?

Allora, prima che la bufera lo travolgesse come una foglia catturata dal vento, il corvo planò in una cavità nella roccia in cerca di riparo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Era un luogo buio e inospitale, una caverna di ghiaccio dove nessun uomo aveva mai messo piede. Il corvo si appollaiò come meglio poteva, cercando di chiudersi a riccio e di trattenere quel poco calore che gli restava nel corpicino.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;“Non devo chiudere gli occhi” continuava a ripetersi “o rimarrò ghiacciato in questa grotta fino alla fine dei tempi.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Silenzioso e letale come un ladro, il torpore era pronto a colpire al primo segno di debolezza.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Un pensiero angoscioso gli passò per la testa: e se Muninn avesse subito questa terribile sorte?

Da quando Muninn era sparito, il loro Signore era cambiato: sembrava più vecchio di quello che già era e stanco, immensamente stanco, come una montagna che ha visto scorrere le ere del mondo davanti a sé ed è infine sul punto di crollare. Aveva cominciato a dimenticare, il loro Signore, cose che non doveva né poteva dimenticare.

Sembrava una marionetta nelle mani di un esperto burattinaio. Ma era ancora troppo presto per cantare vittoria. I degni compagni del bruto erano arrivati, quattro in tutto, armati fino ai denti e con la morte nel cuore.

Ma quando il primo di loro fece per attaccarli, con lo spadone puntato in avanti come a voler tagliare in due metà un bue, Huginn gridò:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;«Uccidilo!»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Il corvo non aveva fatto in tempo a proferire l&#39;ordine, che il berserker al suo servizio già vibrava un violento colpo di scure contro il suo ex compagno d&#39;armi. Suo malgrado, quest&#39;ultimo si ritrovò a giocare il ruolo del bue e a finire, torso a destra e gambe a sinistra, a concimare il lussureggiante sottobosco. A completare la macabra opera, un fiotto di sangue scuro sprizzò dal corpo mutilato, inondando le facce istupidite degli altri berserker.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;«E ora attaccali!» Ordinò infine.

In pochi, lunghissimi secondi, dei cinque non ne era rimasto nessuno in piedi. Il prato era ridotto a una piscina di sangue, schegge di acciaio e brandelli umani. Nel Bosco di Hodmimir tornò improvvisamente il silenzio e il sole, assicuratosi che la battaglia fosse finita, fece capolino dalle nubi.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;«Ma come… come hai fatto?» Riuscì a balbettare Líf, scosso da quello spettacolo nauseabondo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Huginn si sentiva esausto.

A differenza delle sue sorelle minori, non indossava un mantello verde di erba o di alberi, ma era brulla e avvolta dalla cenere. Huginn fece un volo di ricognizione. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Dopo tutte quelle peripezie, sapeva che non sarebbe stato facile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;A quasi cento metri dalla cima si apriva un ampio varco, l&#39;occhio buio di una caverna. L’apertura formava un cerchio quasi perfetto, il che lasciava intendere che la caverna non fosse di origine naturale. Forse i giganti dovevano averla scavata in un’era remota di Midgard e, a seguito della sua recente e traumatica esperienza, Huginn rabbrividiva al solo pensiero di quanto potesse attenderlo in quel luogo buio. Era mai possibile che Muninn, con tutti quei begli alberi su cui fermarsi a riposare, avesse preferito rifugiarsi in quella caverna? Ma era davvero sulle tracce di Muninn, oppure il corvo che gli umani avevano visto era un comunissimo corvo? Huginn si rincuorò al pensiero che nessun corvo comune sarebbe mai riuscito a volare con un freddo del genere, figuriamoci giungere fino a Hodmimir. Adesso che era arrivato fin lì, non gli restava che entrare. E questa volta avrebbe tenuto gli occhi ben aperti!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Avvicinandosi, Huginn si avvide che l&#39;ingresso della caverna era addirittura più ampio di quanto gli fosse sembrato in lontananza. Era alta e spaziosa e perfettamente circolare, come se un’enorme verme avesse traforato la dura roccia della montagna. Il passaggio proseguiva dritto per un po’, per poi scendere repentinamente verso il basso, nell’oscurità più totale. In quel momento Huginn desiderò essere un pipistrello. Non poteva certo continuare così, brancolando nel buio, si sarebbe sicuramente schiantato da qualche parte. A malincuore, Huginn decise quindi di adoperare un altro potere magico, il secondo in appena una giornata: bisbigliata una formula incomprensibile, la sua figura si circondò di un’abbagliante luce argentea. Era come gridare “c’è nessuno?” nella tana di un orso. Ma non aveva altra scelta.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Adesso scendere non gli risultava difficile ma anzi, lo divertiva. Ali spiegate e zampe tese in avanti, Huginn si limitava a planare dolcemente con maestria lungo un immenso scivolo zigzagante le cui pareti erano incrostate d&#39;oro e, a tratti, preziosissimo mithral. Illuminato dalla sua aurea argenta, il mithral risplendeva di un fulgore per cui gli uomini e i giganti avrebbero combattuto più di una guerra. Molti minuti, forse delle ore trascorsero e l’unica certezza di Huginn era che stava scendendo, sempre più in basso, probabilmente fino al centro della terra. Faceva molto freddo, né più né meno di quando aveva volato nella tormenta, e Huginn si rammaricò per non essersi attardato un po&#39; pi&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;ù a lungo nel bosco.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Infine, dopo un periodo di tempo che gli parve interminabile, il passaggio sboccò in un’immensa caverna di cui il corvo non riusciva a vedere la fine. Stalattiti aguzze come fauci minacciavano di rompere la quiete di un vasto lago sotterraneo da un momento all&#39;altro e sulle cui sponde si ergeva un albero colossale, talmente maestoso che il suo tronco bucava il tetto della caverna per giungere fino alla superficie.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hodmimir.&lt;/i&gt; Che sciocco era stato a non ricordarsene prima!

Dove si trovava? A &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot;&gt;Hel, Niflheim oppure Muspelheim? La risposta che Huginn cercava giunse in un ruggito che fece tremare il tetto della caverna. Ai piedi dell’immenso albero era accasciata una creatura gigantesca e terrificante, un dragone di come non ne aveva mai visti.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot;&gt;“E quello” pensò Huginn tremando “deve essere il leggendario &lt;span class=&quot;unicode&quot;&gt;Níðh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;unicode&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot;&gt;ǫ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot;&gt;ggr, il dragone che rosicchia le radici dell’Albero del Mondo”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;unicode&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Come a voler confermare quel terribile sospetto, all&#39;improvviso una voce tuonò nella sconfinata caverna.

Dopo un attimo di titubanza, i corvi gracchiarono all&#39;unisono e, con una certa reticenza, il portone si aprì sulla vasta sala del trono.

La sua arma leggendaria, la lancia Gungnir, giaceva dimenticata a terra. Il dio non parve accorgersi neppure del loro ingresso e, da come sedeva immobile, si sarebbe detto che dormisse.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;unicode&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ce4TZ_mZ8ak/Tbh4mlLMltI/AAAAAAAAAFo/K0RXigaOtsw/s1600/The+Memory+of+Odin+-+illustration+by+Giorgio+Franzoni.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ce4TZ_mZ8ak/Tbh4mlLMltI/AAAAAAAAAFo/K0RXigaOtsw/s640/The+Memory+of+Odin+-+illustration+by+Giorgio+Franzoni.jpg&quot; width=&quot;464&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Huginn e Muninn&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;illustrazione di Giorgio Franzoni&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;I corvi si inoltrarono nella sala a piccoli salti e, giunti che furono a pochi metri dal trono, si arrestarono.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;unicode&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;«Grande Odino» parlò Muninn dopo essersi fatto coraggio «siamo tornati.»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;unicode&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;La sua voce gracchiante e flebile rimbombò nella lugubre sala e, c&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;unicode&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 8.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;IT&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;ome scosso da un sonno lungo e tormentato, il dio si destò scuotendo il capo e mormorando parole incomprensibili.
