Sinopsis

Michelangelo, thirty years old, was a sailor in the Mediterranean, a train driver in South America, a driver in Northern Europe and dreams of becoming an airplane pilot.
The thirst for adventure and the need to experience his solitude lead him to Kenya, where the casual discovery of a poster will push him to travel to Tanzania to face the highest mountain of the continent: Kilimanjaro. Climbing is an opportunity to test himself once again, to return to experience the thrill of the unknown, to remember the past but above all to dream of the future.

Edoardo Albasini was born in Florence in 1991.
At the age of twenty he moved to London, where he carried out the most varied professions until he found the only business that seemed to do for him: aviation.
Thus he begins to travel, six months a year in a suit and tie and the remaining backpacking. He visits more than 105 countries, noting his adventures and reflections in his notebooks.
Author of Via nella notte, Nient'altro che vita and Vertigine.
Vertigo is his first book translated and published in English.
He has more than 22,000 followers on Instagram with his profile Thevanishedchronicles, where he talks about his travels.
Disponible desde: 16/05/2023.

    Siam was just a much different name for what's now referred to as Thailand. The Siamese are the people who live there, though they're never ever called as such any longer. 
    The most current and right clarification concerning the Tai people's beginnings claims that Guangxi, instead of Yunnan, is the Tai motherland. Today, Guangxi is home to a big population of Tai people referred to as the Zhuang. According to the Khun Borom folklore, Tai people who were not affected by the Chinese settled in what's now Biên Ph in modern Vietnam around 700 AD. Pittayawat Pittayaporn (2014) assumed that this movement occurred at the time of the 8th and 10th centuries, based upon layers of Chinese loanwords in proto-Southwestern Tai and other historic information. Chinese growth and mistreatment could have triggered Tai-speaking tribe to travel southwestward down rivers and over lower enters Southeast Asia. 
    Thailand is a fascinating country, with its own culinary arts, culture, history, royalty, infrastructure, and influence on the world. To learn more about these “Thai” people before they were called Thai, when they were Siamese, is to learn about those people’s roots.
