What distinguishes the real from the illusion? And what does it mean to truly be human?
These are the questions that run through the work of Philip K. Dick, an author capable of transforming science fiction into one of the deepest explorations of contemporary consciousness.
In Cortina d'Ampezzo, the event The Magic of the Classics launches a remarkable journey with Emanuele Trevi, a Strega Prize winner and one of the most authoritative interpreters of Italian literature, curator of the prestigious Meridiano Mondadori dedicated to Dick.
In an intense and engaging dialogue, Trevi revisits his personal connection with a writer discovered among the legendary covers of Urania and who has become a compass for his human and literary development. From The Man in the High Castle to Ubik, from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? – which inspired Blade Runner – to the mystical vertigo of Valis, the universe of an author who anticipated the great anxieties of our time resurfaces: identity, technology, memory, and truth.
An exclusive appointment of A Mountain of Books, in the heart of the Dolomites, where great literature meets landscape and thought, offering the audience a destined to leave a mark.
