My Malaysian Tales

I want to announce that today , Friday 30 October, at 9.30 a.m. local time, my fifth child was born: “My Malaysian Tales”.

An important date because exactly one year before I had to leave Malaysia to return to Italy.

Then there were the nefarious events of the epidemic, the lockdown, the opening of my Blog and the writing that gave me breath in the general suffocation.

The 10 photo-stories about my Malaysia were very popular and therefore the idea was born, with my editor from Indonesia, Yuliani, with whom I have already made two books together, to collect them and make a book.

Thus, in a couple of months, this book was born.

It should have had another name, that “Kampungku Malaysia” which is in my heart among the thorns, but we have decided to change the name, and make it a kind of series with the next about Bangladesh.

In fact, I still hope I can make that book as it was my intention when I was still in Malaysia. I have a head harder than stones.

 

Anyway, here it is.

Welcome to the world my dear child, and good luck!

This book will take you travel to the heart of the land and the people of Malaysia—from the traditional to the modern, from the rural areas to the urbanscapes. Changes are speeding fast in this region of Asia, but traces of the old times and soul are still to be seen, if you know where to look. 
My Malaysian Tales presents photos, stories and personal notes that will give you a closer look and understanding of the country.
Not an ordinary travel photography book with images, narratives and insights. It's a travel odyssey of one man, with a genuine care and an insatiable curiosity for searching, understanding and experiencing new and different cultures in the country that's close to his heart.
