An author in search of a Publisher

Jan 062013

I am italian. Mine is a literature born from experience, no less than that of Primo Levi, born in the concentration camps; no less than that of Henri Charrière, born in the Lager of the French Guiana; no less than that of Gavino Ledda, born in a tragic poverty and under the brutal bestiality of a father shepherd.

My short-stories, novels and experimental writings, you may like them or not, tell about my life, a life that in order to remain alive and get an education, had to endure social Lager.

The story that most rappresents myself (for Primo Levi is “If this is a man”; for Henri Charrière is “Papillon”; for Gavino Ledda is “Padre padrone” or “My Father, My Master”) is the Emigrant, that is the novel “Fiori di sierra” (in italian).

My only wish is to find a Publisher who is interested, at least, in reading my work. Thank you.

New Year’s dream

Dec 312012

And why not? To dream, for example, style Dumas: one for all and all for one! Nice this dream, isn’t it? If only we could realize it! Not a chance, it’s just a dream. The reality is another, the reality is that:

At this precise moment, all over the planet, millions of children, adults and elderly people are dying of starvation: they are our brothers, are similar to us and they too, like us, are condemned to the same fate: death!

In this precise moment, destruction and desertification is going on in every corner of the earth: fewer forests, lesser species, more and more concrete, more and more devastation.

At this precise moment, the sea is becoming more polluted, more ugly, more unfriendly, menacing: fewer fish, lesser life, more and more signs of desolation.

Looking for a translator gratis

Chronicle No Responses »

Dec 162012

I just can’t allow myself to pay one. If there is somebody who has the vocation of working for free, like me, because I too work without being paid, then he or she is welcome. And anyway sometimes one can sacrifice himself for a good cause, assuming that translating my work from Italian into English is a good cause, socially good.

Of course you can also be a translator as for pleasure, for the desire to specialize in this interesting profession, for hobby. Personally I don’t have anymore time to do it myself, I have many commitments and they do not allow me to translate myself into English.

Are welcome also any other languages besides English, such as French, German, Spanish etc. Anyone who wants to translate my work in his mother tongue, please do so. It’s enough to put my name and say that the work has been translated from the Italian.

There is also place in this adventure for a would be novice translator. Could translate an article into English and then send it to me so I could give it a look before putting it on the blog with his name. Anyways, before we arrive at this point, we must find the translator, and then definitely we will agree on how to proceed.

So who is the first, the first whose aim is to work for free? Thanks in advance for the brave, the courageous! Here’s my email: email@francis-sgambelluri.com

Benedict XVI debuts on Twitter

Great!

Pope Ratzigner on Internet!

A day to remember!

In short, this event is another insult, first to Italy, then to Europe and then to the whole world, and this regardless of the fact that everybody has the right to freedom of speech, and the pope too, of course.

It’s unbelievable that today, today in the 2012, such a catastrophic human wreck, who represents, symbolically speaking and according to Friedrich Nietzsche, the death of God; and not only, he represents also, as a consequence, the death of Christ, of the Virgin, of the religious superstition, the death of all saints and the Church itself;

still today, therefore, this man, who is responsible for having sent to death billions of believers with the illusion of finding, there in the mud and slime, heaven and another life, an everlasting life;

this human being, a mere container of delusions and lies, himself ideologically dead and buried, with his false power, his false belief and with the money robbed to the herd, still manages to stir up so much fuss and clamour!?

The question is, when we speak of humanity, are we speaking of a mass of sheep and impostors or we are speaking about rational and intelligent human beings?

Nothing, une foi de plus, so much ado about nothing.

Who are the real prostitutes?

First it should be pointed out that there are many types of prostitution, perhaps as many as there are men and women on Earth. Prostitution is a human phenomenon: animals don’t prostitute themselves, but human beings do. Throughout our history we have done nothing but construct a culture of prostitution for ourselves. Our social equilibrium is built on these foundations.

People prostitute themselves everywhere and in a million ways: prostitution occurs in the family, at work, at school, on markets, in factories, on holiday, on the road, in politics, in religious systems, in company systems, in the army, in every kind of business, in every area of society. The saying that best describes the concept of prostitution is: the strong lie with the weak, the weak with the strong. Having to submit in one way or another to those who are stronger, more cunning or more cruel lies at the heart of prostitution and of civilization itself.

Only the workers can manage their sweat

No one else can do it for them

Only they know the price of the bread they eat.

Religion, science and the hurricane Sandy

Chronicle, Religion, Science No Responses »

Nov 032012

Take, as an example, what is happening these days in America, take hurricane Sandy.

To recognize his formation, his destructive violence, fury and try to see and avoid the negative consequences on the population was science, meteorological science. And so, thanks to it, if the dead, instead of being many, possibly millions, are reduced to only 60/70 victims.

Now let’s we make a comparison with religion. What would have done religion in front of the hurricane Sandy that hit the population (religion do not see and do not forsee the consequences of natural disasters)? Nothing. Just nothing. Would only ask the believers to pray, to invoke God to save the population and to calm the fury of Hurricane Sandy, here is what would have made religion in the face of this destructive force. But, religion, in reality, could really stop the hurricane Sandy only with prayers and masses?

Reader, give yourself “your” reply!

Violence

Violence? Okay, violence then. The first question is who creates violence? The answer to this question is easy: the powerful men. Who pushes the people to violence? Injustice. And who creates injustice? The powerful men. Clear enough? Ok then. Then, it’s a vicious circle. In other words, the queen, the pope, the States, the capitalism, Bashar al-Assad king of Siria etc, these people and institutions are violence, legalized violence, not justice then, but violence justified by the law!

Infact, how much violence there is in all what the rich own, consume and waste? Think about the pope who is a moving fortune with all the jewels and the rich clothes he weares; think about the queen Elizabeth II when she gallops around London in her golden state-coach; think about Berlusconi organizing his bunga bunga parties; think how much violence there’s when a politician with all his staff goes to a five stars hotel?

It’s clear who pays the bill for these gentlemen, isn’t it?

Our leading institutions, in reality, they do not rappresente democracy, but a subtle enlightened barbarism. If so, our lives and our history are in the hands of legalized criminals; if so, how could modern man, who knows about this human butchery, accepts this kind of social contract?

As long as we live in this sort of world, the kind of violence created by Salman Rushdie, is really nothing, it is only the point of the iceberg. The real violence has not yet started!
