Personaggi come Tristano e Isotta continuano ad ispirare versioni nuove della loro storia, quasi fossero, essi stessi, coautori del medesimo corpus letterario che seguita a rappresentarli: innumerevoli, infatti, sono gli adattamenti in versi o in prosa della leggenda tristaniana che dal Medioevo in poi si sono via via succeduti. "IL DESTINO IN UN LAI", nel solco di questo filone tematico-stilistico-espressivo, e una riscrittura drammatica, con valenza narrativa prossima al romanzo, incentrata sugli ultimi quattro giorni di vita dei due infelici amanti di Cornovaglia.

Inside Yoga is a journey within the world of yoga and within the life of a yoga practitioner. It is a photographic journey and a poetic journey. A journey through questions and a journey through symbols.The Asanas, the Yoga positions, besides being exercises that help mind and body find balance, energy, harmony and health, also represent philosophical ideas. Within Yoga we can find deep archetypal feelings and spiritual knowledge, and sometimes this knowledge can be realised even simply by the observation of the asanas, if we use the right eyes. In this book, we played with pictures and words to let the reader enter the yoga dimension in an intuitive way without forcing concepts or without indulging in clich s that are too often repeated in yoga classes and in yoga books. Inside Yoga is an immersion into a state of mind, in an atmosphere. Together with the Norwegian photographer Erlend Reiersen, we used cameras, lights, and landscapes to communicate the yoga experience bypassing the analytical filters of the mind. Using the camera like a Zen calligrapher would use a brush, creating dialogues and playful Koans, both hermetic and candid. The first chapters of the book offer also an easily approachable introduction to the roots of yoga from a historical and philosophical point of view. And the reader can find also practical tips about how to perform safely the asanas, how to breathe correctly, and how to choose the right food for his or her body constitution (ayurvedic diet).

​Can yoga and meditation help to solve the climate crisis? The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, a sacred writing of the yoga tradition, seems to suggest that.Massimo Barberi, taking inspiration from this ancient Sanskrit text, created "Symbiosis" a beautiful book of fine art photography and poetry, where, through symbols and allegories, he describes the epiphany of a modern human being in search for the real self. An archetypical journey from a state of disillusion and "pollution" of the soul, to a state of conscious union with the nature and with the real self. When we find our real self we realise also our symbiotic, harmonious connection with the beautiful world around us.
