DESERTI
"When you reach the perfect balance between body and mind,
push yourself ahead, in search of the extreme limit. So you will
understand that it exists only inside you".
Why a person, and in particular a women, one day decides to challenge
common sense and to risk her life to cross the desert?
Carla Perrotti
doesn't want to prove anything to anybody, she doesn't want
to challenge the hostile nature, and she doesn't want to push
her luck. For her the desert represents nature and her desire
is to became as close as she can with it, became part of it,
live the deep harmony that from appearances the desert doesn't
seem to have.
Even if
the experiences that Carla describes and that changed her life
forever are very different between them, they have a common
line: Understand nature, merge with it and discover that only
when we abandon ourselves to the greatest powers that we are
really the masters of ourselves, face to face with our nature.
This is a book that talks about travelling, adventures, deep
emotions and exciting experiences, but more than everything
talks about the harmony with nature and with life.

SILENZI DI SABBIA
My experiences are bound by a single thread: the need for solitude
in a wide-open space, the necessity to live in direct contact
with nature in the most intense way, in one word, the desert.
A trip in the desert in fact is different from any other trip.
It is a mystic experience. This was also the thought of Carla
Perrotti who succeededin realizing her dream and successfully
accomplished an expedition never completed by another: crossing
alone on foot the major deserts of the earth.
In her second book she recounts the last two: the Taklimakan,
enclosed by the Himalayan mountains in China, never crossed before
on foot by anyone, and the Simpson Desert, the red dunes in the
heart of Australia.
It is not the 'record' that attracts her, but rather the spirit
of adventure, the desire to prove the ability of the body and
human psyche in limitless conditions and her love for solitude,
the essential element for arriving at an understanding of yourself.
