Story3
In the mid- to late-19th century, a burgeoning science called electricity promised to shine new light on a rousing nation. Inventive and ambitious minds were hard at work. Soon that spark was fanned, and a war was under way to be the first to light - and run - the world with electricity. Thomas Alva Edison, the inventor of direct current (DC), engaged in a brutal battle with Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, the inventors of alternating current (AC). There would be no ties in this race - only a winner and a loser - and the prize was a nationwide monopoly in electric current.

Like many others on the autism spectrum, 20-something stand-up comic Michael McCreary has been told by more than a few well-meaning folks that he doesn’t “look” autistic.

Storie curiose, fuori del comune (extra vaganti, appunto), divertenti, ma tutte rigorosamente vere, quelle raccontate in questo libretto. La prima storia è ambientata nel XIV secolo e vede protagonista una potentissima consorteria di banchieri fiorentini, i Bardi. La seconda ricostruisce un singolare brutto scherzo giocato dagli Europei ai Turchi nel secolo XVII. Nell'ultima sono commentati due famosi trattati francesi del XVII e XVIII secolo dedicati al commercio e alle manifatture del tempo, in cui abbondano giudizi, acuti e gustosi, su genti e popoli.
