On Wednesday November 12 at 6.30 pm, Professor Enrico Terrinoni will be at the Institute to present his latest book, “Leggere libri non serve. Sette brevi lezioni di letteratura” (Bompiani, 2025), in conversation with Enrica Ferrara.
In the age of artificial intelligence, when emotions are flattened onto a screen, literature retains a rare superpower: it continues to open new worlds, ignite wonder, and seek meaning where everything else simply fades away. Enrico Terrinoni takes us on a journey through the history of literature, revealing its enduring allure through seven words: dream, infinity, heresy, consciousness, wave, prophecy, and silence.
The event will be in English with readings in Italian.
