Sampledental Welcome Letters

The Fellowship of the Ring. The Lord of the Rings by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien 1

confess that he had never read before. Too bad.
A work really great. A nice story, just beautiful.
When you read it you are immersed in a world of fantasy and dreams.
A book in Italy, only in Italy, was marked by a fierce, how stupid, prejudice, and that it was an apology of fascism.
It took 30 years to dispel this nonsense (and many still continue to think).
Why?
Why in the book, the land of evil is on the east (the Soviet east), because we talk about runes, heroes, races, and elected, for good and evil, tradition and, finally, because, once branded from our "intellectual dictatorship" of the '70s, as fascist text was adopted by the youth of their right Italians, who have "metaphor."
On the other hand, only in Italy, everything is polarized to the left or right , a shower or bath, mom or nutella, mortadella or finocchiona ... (Remember the song by Giorgio Gaber?). More so today, that the concepts of right and left are losing historical significance and are becoming worn labels emptied of the original substance. Even the great
Branduardi was suspected by these servants of stupidity, to be right, only to have said that on his bedside table always keeps the two texts: the Bible and The Lord of the Rings ...
