An opportunity, a chance to discover something new about oneself and others, to train one&#8217;s body and mind more steadily. Not instead the time, as many think, to only look backwards.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018What does this age resemble?\u2019 asks De Luca. \u2018To the ascent of a mountain forest. In the thick of the conifers little light enters, I can just see what is tight around me, but upwards it thins out, clearings open up, there is more light. In this age from the top of the forest I see far away, glimpses of the future, not mine, the one without me.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dying poet Goethe utters the last two words: \u2018Mehr Licht\u2019, more light.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not a request, it is the surprise of seeing it shine.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today I see a youth that feels its future as one with that of the entire earth. They look far ahead, they see the future. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even I, even the new old people, see further away, to the top of their woods.\u2019<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With some interventions by Ines de la Fressange, famous fashion designer and friend of the author, who looks at old age from her vantage point, \u201cThe experimental Age\u201d is a book that is itself an opportunity to discover how resilient one can still be when one would not believe it, how many possibilities the third age contains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No generation before the present one has reached old age with such a majority and in such an active state, which makes it an experimental age today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20210,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[156,177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-erri-de-luca-en","category-libro-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carmenprestia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carmenprestia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carmenprestia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmenprestia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmenprestia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20213"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmenprestia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20213\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20214,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmenprestia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20213\/revisions\/20214"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmenprestia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carmenprestia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmenprestia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmenprestia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
