Deserti

Year: 2001 Pages: 212 Carla Perrotti is the first woman to have crossed the Tenéré desert in the Sahara, following the legendary Tuareg salt caravan. Carla Perrotti is the first person to have solo crossed the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, the highest and largest salt lake on earth. Carla Perrotti is the first woman to cross the Kalahari. Why does a human being, and in particular a woman, decide one day to defy common sense and risk her life to cross the desert? Carla Perrotti doesn't want to prove anything to anyone, she doesn't want to challenge hostile nature, she doesn't want to provoke fate. For her, the desert, in its various manifestations, represents Nature and her desire is to enter into harmony with it, become one, experience its profound harmony, that harmony of which, apparently, the desert itself seems totally devoid . The experiences that the author tells us and which changed her life forever, although very different from each other. they have a common thread: understanding nature, merging with it and discovering that it is precisely in the moment in which we abandon ourselves to forces much greater than us, that we are truly masters of ourselves, face to face with our true nature. A book that talks about travel, adventure, deep emotions and exhilarating sensations but above all a book that talks about harmony with nature and therefore with life.
