Considering a series of books, we envisioned the gradual composition of a creative, intellectual, theological, and spiritual genealogy. I Grandi Libri are what we call classics because they have not finished making us listen to what they have to say. They have long life, surpassing their own time, and disturbing the future they have sown. They come to us revealing the trace of the readings that preceded our own, and revealing the path they left in the culture or cultures they crossed.

The authors who edit the individual volumes show the context, illustrate the contents, dialogue with the multiple interpretations, establish connections, and recognize the illuminating influences that have allowed the book to come into being and inspire. In the end, it appears as the flow of a lineage that has no intention of stopping, because great books are read in futurum.
