Letters From Kirghisia
Read Comments
Silvano Agosti is an Italian movie director, writer and thinker in general.
This book is an attempt at imagining his perfect society.
A society where everyone is important, where everyone can live in piece, where everyone can Live. And when I say Live I mean it in the deepest meaning you can give to this word.
He imagine to be forced to stop and spend a few weeks in this perfect country — Kirghisia — while flying to some place.
During his stay, he write a few letters to his friends describing how beautiful life is in Kirghisia.
It was a very nice book to read. It’s maybe pure Utopia, but it gives some hope to think a place like Kirghisia exists, even if only in one person’s mind. Actually, I think Kirghisia exists in the mind of many.
Given there’s no published English translation I know of, you can always read Letters From Kirghisia online on Silvano Agosti’s website. :)
