Il libro è assolutamente interessante, ricco delle trascrizioni fedeli dei processi.
E allora, perchè ho dato solo 3 stelle? Il perchè forse non me lo so spiegare nemmeno io. Perchè trovo palesi tutti i fattori positivi di questo libro, l'interesse, la completezza, ma insieme l'ho trovato pesante da leggere e troppo scarne le parti di spiegazione del ambiente sociale e politico. L'80% del libro sono le trascrizioni dei processi, e per quanto sono assolutamente d'accordo che siano interessanti, lasciano meno spazio all'approfondimento, per quanto sia sempre di grande livello della Muraro. Eppure, non sono riuscita ad appassionarmi a questo libro, a trovarlo interessante come avrei voluto e dovuto. Ma siccome la lettura è molto soggettiva, devo essere sincera. Probabilmente per qualcun altro è stato il libro della vita ma per me... ni.

One of the topics that most interests me is the witch hunt. From what it was born, in what social and political environment its accusers and its victims live, how it dies. In this essay Luisa Muraro gives a new analysis, who are the women who have been recognized as witches, reading the trial papers. Caterina Ross, Barbara Marostega, Domina Ludi, Antonia Comba, Anna Maria Sertora. Different stories that lead us to create a more complete and interesting picture of the phenomenon. Telling us their stories, Muraro also explains how it worked, what happened to the families and society around these women, because the witch hunt ended.
The book is absolutely interesting, full of faithful transcriptions of the processes.
So why did I give only 3 stars? The reason maybe I can't even explain myself. Because I find obvious all the positive factors of this book, the interest, the completeness, but I found it heavy to read too and the parts of explanation of the social and political environment are too bare. 80% of the book are the transcripts of the processes, and as far as I absolutely agree that they are interesting, they leave less space for further study, although it is always of great level. And yet, I was not able to get excited about this book, to find it as interesting as I wanted and owed. But since reading is very subjective, I must be honest. Probably for someone else it was the book of life but for me... not so much.
