*******************************************

/Selected Essays and Dialogues/ is a collection of translations of 
Italian writer and filmmaker Gianni Celati’s theoretical and musing work 
from the late 1960s to the present. Topics range from environmental 
perception and archaeological conceptions of historical knowledge, to 
street theatre, writing, photography, cinema and translation. The book 
provides a framework of key literary, theoretical and artistic movements 
of the last 50 years, as well as a guide for English-language readers to 
place Celati’s work in historical, cultural and biographical context, 
serving to illuminate his books available in English, namely /Towards 
the River’s Mouth/, /Adventures in Africa/, /Voices from the Plains/ and 
/Appearances/.

There are various paths to take, tempting readers to wander and become 
lost in webs of daring thought, drawn ever on by Celati’s fondness for 
the unexpected ordinary and his bonhomie with others. Indeed, a genial 
adventurousness can be found within all of Celati’s writings collected 
here, driven by an affectionate and light-hearted engagement with the 
surrounding world. Herein is a taste of a seemingly endless series of 
adventures of the mind and body, always tapped into a lithe sensitivity 
for an encompassing collcective imagination not restricted to the 
so-called high arts or letters, but very much also engaged with the 
everyday lives, places and tales we all constantly share.
