Wooden casks (or barrels) are containers of exceptional strength, versatility and mobility but have become a rarity in Britain, displaced so completely by metal containers that it is hard to imagine their importance in former times. The coopers who made them were once numerous and independent craftsmen, while latterly many were employed by breweries. Their craft was not only economically vital but was physically demanding and required skill acquired only through years of practice. This book seeks to preserve the memory of their skills, tracing the history of the craft and describing and illustrating how a barrel was made.

Doug Scott (1941-2020), una leggenda dell’alpinismo britannico e internazionale, nel corso dei suoi quarant’anni di carriera ha raggiunto traguardi che sembravano oltre i limiti delle possibilità umane. In questa biografia, appassionante e documentatissima, li ritroviamo tutti, dall’Himalaya alla Nuova Zelanda, dalla Patagonia allo Yosemite, fino all’Alaska. Con un nodo centrale: le spettacolari imprese compiute tra il 1975 e il 1979, che vanno dalla conquista dell’inviolata parete sud-ovest dell’Everest insieme a Dougal Haston (culminata in una notte passata a 8750 metri in una buca nella neve) alla spettacolare ascesa al Kangchenjunga senza ossigeno, passando per l’Ogre, la montagna impossibile, scalata con Chris Bonington, l’altro mito dell’alpinismo britannico (Scott discese dalla vetta con entrambe le gambe fratturate)..

Siamo ormai a tre generazioni di distanza dalla guerra partigiana del 1943-45, e certi eventi di quegli anni hanno perso in parte la loro carica emozionale. In questi decenni è stato compiuto (e ancora si compie) un imprescindibile lavoro di ricerca storica, che ha documentato con cura le battaglie e le vite dei protagonisti di allora, e ha analizzato nel dettaglio gli elenchi degli assassinati e dei torturati, e l'orribile computo dei drammi umani, spesso descritto con linguaggio asettico nei documenti della burocrazia. Oggi è importante che, per non dimenticare, si levi su quelle vicende anche una voce autoriale, in grado di legare i fatti storici in un filo narrativo coinvolgente e cristallino. È ciò che fa Caroline Moorehead in questo libro, un'opera completa, capace di ricreare l'atmosfera di paura e di dolore, ma anche in grado di rendere la spinta ideale provata da molte donne coraggiose, determinate ad agire e rischiare per il bene della loro comunità..
