Welcome\u00a02017, a year of great <\/span>comebacks<\/span>!<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n
<\/div>\n

I like to <\/span>come back<\/span>. There is something comforting in the idea of coming back, it must have to do with the sense of belonging. It is as if <\/span>until <\/span>someone or something <\/span>await us <\/span>the journey make sense. <\/span>Get back<\/span> is a bit like starting but with a <\/span>hint of<\/span> more experience.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>It is also true that not only people <\/span>come back<\/span>, more often <\/span>are<\/span> memories <\/span>to<\/span> resurface, and they <\/span>also<\/span> know <\/span>how to<\/span> be powerful. A memory <\/span>just wrap you<\/span> and take you <\/span>to someplace far away<\/span>, as I will try to do today. Like a time machine I will catapult in 1987 when the story of Sofia was written. The Hour of Shadows has just fallen on the sleepless night of the little orphan, when from the window you see something big and dark: the\u00a0Big Friendly Giant, The BFG\u00a0of Roald Dahl<\/strong>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

At least once<\/span>, when we where kids,<\/span> we <\/span>feel like<\/span> ‘Sofia: sleepless nights in feverish waiting for something to happen, for example that the sun rise because tired of staying in bed. That’s how Sofia meets the Dream Catcher, that sweet and caring giant with a funny language, whose job is to collect the dreams and then to blow them with his trumpet in the rooms of the sleeping children. The BFG\u00a0is a special character: it reminds us that the appearance does not matter because we are what we do and he gives magical nights;<\/em><\/strong> we can distinguish ourselves, in fact he unlike other giant eats “snozzcumbers” and not humans; friendship is possible when there are no limits and barriers not because necessarily similar.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Dahl’s book is a classic of <\/span>children\u2019s<\/span> literature and like all classics are destined to <\/span>come back<\/span>, or maybe <\/span>never leave<\/span>. Now you can find <\/span>it<\/span> also at the cinema but if you read to your children every night a few pages of this wonder you can easily bring <\/span>it to<\/span> your home.<\/span><\/p>\n
