About the Book

In tempi recenti molto - ma non ancora troppo - si e parlato di Giovanni Battista Belzoni, l' esploratore padovano cui e legata la riscoperta dell' Egitto faraonico. Nel 2019 la sua citta natale gli ha infatti dedicato una grande mostra, con lo scopo di riportare l' attenzione su questo personaggio curiosamente poco ricordato e un po' controverso, su cui nei tempi e calata una sorta di damnatio memoriae. Al di la di ogni considerazione, cio che non si puo tacere e che il grande Belzoni fu il precursore della moderna egittologia: primo europeo a mettere piede in luoghi che oggi sono divenuti note mete turistiche, riusci a compiere le imprese impossibili che lo hanno reso famoso sottoponendosi a sforzi fisici enormi e a condizioni di vita durissime, quasi al limite dell' insostenibilita. Ma Belzoni non fece tutto questo da solo. Al suo fianco ci fu sempre Sarah, discreta e misteriosa donna inglese che egli sposo nel 1803. Sarah fu per Giovanni un grande amore e una vera 'consorte' (con-sors), pronta a condividere gioie e difficolta nel nome dell'avventura. Ma fu anche una donna intraprendente, che non esito a viaggiare da sola in mondi sconosciuti. Che non esito a travestirsi da uomo per entrare in una moschea della Terra Santa. Che si abituo a fumare la pipa e a maneggiare le armi. Che seppe difendersi dagli attacchi dei malintenzionati ed entrare felicemente in relazione con il mondo delle donne incontrate nelle terre lontane esplorate accanto al marito. E che decise di raccontare le sue considerazioni in un saggio, uscito a stampa nel 1820 a Londra, per il tipi dell' editore Murray. Ne emerge un piccolo trattato di antropologia in prospettiva femminile, denso di osservazioni acute, che restituisce il lato umano della straordinaria protagonista di queste vicende. Tradotto ora da Loredana Fenoglio e commentato puntualmente da Marco Zatterin, che delle vicende belzoniane e profondo conoscitore, il saggio di Sarah Belzoni colpisce per l' immediatezza del racconto e per le curiosita narrate. E trasporta il lettore in un viaggio denso di fascino, in un mondo popolato da un' infinita di donne - giovani, vecchie, belle e a volte piu brutte delle streghe di Macbeth - che ancora oggi non finisce di sorprendere
