What are memories? What are they for? How are they built and how do they manage to persist while the matter that sustains them is constantly changing? Memories are the traces that life leaves behind, fleeting traces that turn yesterday into something tangible. This book starts from this essential idea to delve into the fragments of memory, exploring how the past is reincarnated in the present. Andrea Levi unveils the mysterious nexus between the most ethereal part of our being - memory - and the tiniest part - our cells. Through neurobiology, the book reveals the secret life of memories, woven by neurons that dialogue, preserve, transform and even transmit memories. From the fascinating case of the patient h. , m. to the verses of Orlando furioso, from epigenetics to the poetry of a puddle jumped in childhood, science and everyday life intertwine to illuminate the art of remembering... and forgetting.
