BORN TO BE A WRITER
"BORN TO BE A WRITER"
Writers' portraits from the Festival dei Popoli's archives
"BORN TO BE A WRITER" is a journey to discover great writers who made a great contribution to the world literature. Are writers born or made? Can the passion for writing overwhelm all the others? Does inspiration last?
Festival dei Popoli proposes, in the framework of Estate Fiorentina 2014, four portraits in which great writers speak about their ideas and their work. Through their own words we come to understand what it means: "Born to Be a Writer".
