È proprio così, a Severgnini i viaggiatori interessano davvero: li segue, li osserva, li descrive in modo esilarante, senza però giudicarli o condannarli. "Eravamo turisti. Siamo diventati viaggiatori. Imperfetti, ma viaggiatori" sostiene l'autore. Siamo curiosi, rumorosi, avventurosi, frettolosi, generosi. Leggiamo poco e compriamo troppo. Siamo complessivamente onesti, e giustamente diffidenti. Siamo tolleranti. Mentre gli stranieri che visitano l'Italia si innervosiscono quando s'imbattono in altri stranieri, noi italiani, incontrando altri italiani, festeggiamo l'avvenimento.

Se la fata Morgana vive a Bagno a Ripoli e il Diavolo fa i ponti a Borgo a Mozzano, se a Chiusi ci si può perdere nei labirinti di Porsenna e a Firenze bisogna prestare attenzione al quadrilatero della morte, allora bisogna riconoscere che la Toscana è una regione ancora da scoprire e che, dietro l'arte e la cultura di questa terra, esiste un mondo oscuro: un paesaggio dove l'Ulivo del Sabba di Magliano, la spada nella roccia di Montesiepi, il borgo fantasma di Palaia e la volpe d'oro di Poggibonsi sono solo alcune tappe di un viaggio in cui il mistero è l'attore principale.

The Maine Woods is based on Henry David Thoreau’s lengthy experiences in the forests of Maine in the years 1846, 1853, and 1857. Thoreau describes the area in exquisite detail: the native people and their languages, the loggers and their labors, the rivers, the trees, the plants, and the birds.
