L-Art tal-Kliem

Mela darba faqqgħet pandemija, u … Xpatapumm!

Tfaqqa’ pandemija. Żewġt iħbieb antiki, ejja nsemmuhom Clare u Chris, jibdew jibagħtu messaġġi lil xulxin fuq WhatsApp b’suġġerimenti ta’ kotba x’jaqraw, sensiliet x’jaraw fuq Netflix, eċċ. Minħabba li t-tnejn dejjem qishom imġienen, għaddejjin minn ħaġa għall-oħra, flok messaġġi text jirrekordjawhom messaġġi awdjo.

Halloween mimli mostri!

Ġa t-toroq qed jimtlew b’qargħa ħamra, xemgħat, ħajt tal-brimb u fatati … u dak ifisser biss ħaġa waħda: li qed toqrob Halloween. Min jaf għaliex festa “tal-biża’” tagħtina tant gost - probabbli għall-istess raġuni li nħobbu naraw il-films tal-orrur jew naqraw xi storja tal-biża’.

Il-Maltin fl-Art Imqaddsa u lil hinn Ħafna drabi l-okkażjonijiet li naqraw dwar il-ħajja tal-Maltin tad-djaspora huma ftit. Dan il-ktieb jiġbor fih esperjenzi u realtajiet għalkollox differenti minn tagħna. Huma narrattivi ta' sorijiet, qassisin u lajċi Maltin li ilhom snin twal jgħixu fl-Art Imqaddsa u lil hinn. Uħud minnhom, bħal Sister Antonia Agius, telqu minn Malta fuq ajruplan tal-gwerra u ilhom hemm mill-1945. L-Art tal-Kliem joffri mumenti diffiċli, umli, skomdi, sempliċi, umoristiċi, imnikkta mill-ħajja ta' 31 Malti u Maltija li għoġobhom jilqgħuna għandhom biex jirrakkontawlna dwar il-ħidma sfiqa tagħhom. Nittamaw li permezz tiegħu qed niftħu tieqa ċkejkna sabiex intom ukoll, bħalna, tkunu tistgħu tesperjenzaw il-mod kif il-Maltin jgħixu barra minn pajjiżhom. Din il-pubblikazzjoni kienet kofinanzjata mill-Fond għad-Diplomazija Kulturali fi ħdan il-Ministeru għall-Affarijiet Barranin, u mill-APS Bank.
