«Senz'olio contro vento» is the book of biographical portraits by Rita Levi-Montalcini, published by Dalai Editore in paperback (240 pages, in Italian).
The author, a Nobel laureate, traces ten portraits of figures she herself chose. What unites them is having navigated life with courage and determination, sailing «without oil and against the wind». Combining biography with social and cultural reflection, the volume offers a journey through human resilience in the twentieth century.
The subtitle of the work is «Dieci incontri» and the book belongs to the I Nani collection; the edition was published in 1999.
Recommended for readers interested in biographies, twentieth-century Italian culture, and stories of personal overcoming.
