I bambini, solo conoscendo il senso delle cose, riescono a spiegarsele. E per capire chiedono, instancabili, sempre. Quando si regge lo stillicidio dei loro perché e ci si sforza di dargli le risposte che meritano, si arriva sempre al cuore delle questioni. La voglia di raccontare la storia già molto conosciuta, ma non ancora da tanti digerita, di Franco Basaglia, del manicomio liberato e del suo superamento, nasce proprio dalle domande dei più piccoli e dal tentativo di provare a ripercorrere fatti già noti con gli occhi e il cuore di una di loro, per darne una lettura inedita.

L'audiolibro ci fa scoprire e amare i giganti di fuoco spiegandoci come la loro storia sia indissolubilmente legata a quella della vita sulla terra, quale influenza abbiano sul clima globale, come interagiscano con l'ambiente e come possano rappresentare una risorsa.

Tatsache ist: Die Zeit von 60 bis 90 Jahren ist genauso lang wie die von 30 bis 60 - JETZT ist die Zeit, in der wir jung sein können.
