Local knowledge to know how to speak
Discovering, loving, living a place means immersing yourself not only in the landscapes but, at least in part, in its history, culture and geography. A local publishing house is therefore the most precious mine of stories, information and specific knowledge relating to a limited area such as Sardinia or Gallura, that you can find.
It is not only the pleasure of reading, but also a way to enrich conversations with friends, acquaintances and locals: showing interest in local culture encourages a deeper dialogue with those who live there and makes us travellers, rather than tourists.
Authenticity, testimony and research live in the texts of authors who write driven by the urgency to spread knowledge before it is lost forever. Happy pens like that of Quintino Mossa tell, in order to preserve and enhance, the complex traditions of Gallura. Mossa describes the world of the “stazzi” in L’Agliola, kinship and sentimental relationships in La Pricunta, fairy tales and short stories in La Réula, children’s street games in Abò, poetic enigmas in L’Abbisabbisa.
The stories of Olbia, Golfo Aranci and San Teodoro, the end of the frigate Sémillante that sank in Lavezzi, a guide to the butterflies of Sardinia, another to the local mussels and clams, one to prehistoric Gallura, one to the medieval castles of the Giudicato di Torres, children’s books, such is the variety of topics published on paper or digitally - even as audiobooks - in the series published by Taphros.
Those who have a house on the coast or inland of Sardinia cannot fail to find in it a source of inspiration and tools to feel increasingly part of the land they inhabit, even if only for a period of the year.
