Neuware - The peculiarity of the book lies in the fact that each chapter is introduced with a poetry, which is a nice peculiarity and makes an impact on the reader due to its short nature. A way that splits between short story, poem and novel.Another striking feature are the illustrations inserted throughout the story.The story is set in the happy and glorious period of ancient Greece in 628 B.C. in Selinunte and speaks about an object made by the young craftsman Obelius. An object handed down until the 1960s. Bummulu comes from the Greek word 'bombùlion' meaning vase. It would therefore be the story of the creation of a simple container to keep water and wine cool and the adventure of life in Selinunte.It is a sea voyage from Greece to Sicily, where Obelius with his family and other Megareans set up a new colony under the name of Selinos. This name is due to the smell of celery when arriving there. A fictional tale that describes the dream of realising a new agricultural-commercial polis through the union of everyone's strength to help the community. A book that revives the beauty of ancient Greece in Sicily.The story begins from Megara Nisea, Greece, with some misadventures during the journey and the landing at the spot pointed out by the oracle. Obelius goes on talking about the construction of Selinunte after three groups of men have explored the area. The hero continues talking about his adventure in Greece and the Olympic Games, life in Selinunte, his family's work and a dire forebodingWhat does this book give you The story is in a variety of exciting genres, from fiction to history - making reading fun and you feel relaxed.This book is good for people with not a lot of time to sit down and read.

Selinunte, 628 a.C. Una nuova città sta per nascere dal nulla. E tutto inizia con un vaso d'acqua.
Dalla Grecia alla Sicilia, un viaggio epico raccontato da chi lo ha vissuto.
Obelius è un giovane vasaio di Megara Nisea. Seguendo il responso dell'oracolo e il profumo di selinon - sedano selvatico - che annuncia la terra promessa, parte con la sua famiglia e gli altri Megaresi per fondare una nuova polis: Selinous.
Questo non è un saggio di storia. È la sua voce. La fatica del mare, le tre esplorazioni dell'entroterra, la costruzione delle prime case, i Giochi Olimpici, il lavoro di una famiglia di artigiani, un oscuro presagio sul futuro della città più bella dei Greci in Sicilia.
Cosa rende questo libro unico:
• Un capitolo, una poesia: Ogni capitolo si apre con una poesia breve che ti prepara all'emozione del racconto. • Illustrato: Disegni originali che ti trasportano nella Selinunte arcaica. • Un oggetto, 2600 anni di storia: La storia di un bummulu - dal greco bombùlion, vaso per mantenere freschi acqua e vino - creato da Obelius e tramandato fino agli anni '60. • Lettura per tutti: Capitoli brevi, perfetti da leggere uno al giorno. Ideale anche per studenti e per chi vuole scoprire la storia greca di Sicilia con semplicità e trasporto emotivo.
Se ami la Sicilia, la storia greca e le storie di chi con le mani costruisce il futuro, questo libro ti riporterà a casa.
