1984
1984“Se si vuole allontanare per sempre l’uguaglianza fra gli uomini, se gli Alti, come li abbiamo definiti, intendono restare per sempre al loro posto, allora la condizione mentale dominante deve coincidere con una follia tenuta sotto controllo.”

Historia magistra vitae?
Dio solo ha potuto vedere se que’ magistrati, trovando i colpevoli d’un delitto che non c’era, ma che si voleva1, furon più complici o ministri d’una moltitudine che, accecata, non dall’ignoranza, ma dalla malignità e dal furore, violava con quelle grida i precetti più positivi della legge divina, di cui si vantava seguace. Ma la menzogna, l’abuso del potere, la violazion delle leggi e delle regole più note e ricevute, l’adoprar doppio peso e doppia misura, son cose che si posson riconoscere anche dagli uomini negli atti umani; e riconosciute, non si posson riferire ad altro che a passioni pervertitrici della volontà; nè, per ispiegar gli atti materialmente iniqui di quel giudizio, se ne potrebbe trovar di più naturali e di men triste, che quella rabbia e quel timore.

Da chi puoi imparare se non dai maestri? (Who can you learn from but the masters?)
"Non dalle ricchezze ma dalle virtù nasce la bellezza. La ricerca porta alla verità. Un'ingiustizia non va commessa mai neppure quando la si riceve. Ad una persona buona non può capitare nulla di male: né in vita né in morte, le cose che lo riguardano non vengono trascurate dal Dio".
Socrate (470a.C.-399 a.C.)
"Beauty is born not from riches but from virtues. Research leads to truth. An injustice must never be committed even when it is received. Nothing bad can happen to a good person: neither in life nor in death, the things concerning him are not neglected by God".
Socrates (470 a.C. -399 a.C.)

Title and Preface
About the title of the English edition of "A un passo dall'Inferno", I'm pretty sure it will "One step from Hell".
This is the first page of book. I'm writing for all my american's friends.
PREFACE A un passo dall'Inferno
How long is a moment?
Anyone says fraction of a second, others even a century years. It is a fake time, a time over the real flow of time, the duration does not have a precise quantitative definition, depends from the point of view of those who are looking it, or by looking from the outside.
It can last as long as it takes the sound to propagate in the wind, or as long as it takes a seed to become a large tree.
If I look back, the days just passed have been as short as the time taken by lightning to cross the sky, yet so long that I have saturated my entire existence in this world.

Myopia or blindness?
Most people in this century are short-sighted, not blind. Myopia is not the impossibility of seeing what happens around us, but the inability to focus on the events that happen.

Shall we start with the English title of the book?
For a moment the boyok "A un passo dall'Inferno" has been published in Italy, and I’m very happy with the feedback I’m getting from the person who read it. But it’s not enough for me. The story is set half in America and half in Italy and so now it has to fly to the US. I am completing the translation of the text in English. How about reading and correct it here with me? Shall we start with the title? How about "One Step From Hell"?
