      The Woman in the White Kimono
    • Mi ritrovai in un mondo completamente nuovo, il più bello e strano mai visto: luminoso, vibrante, estatico. Accanto a me c'era una fanciulla dagli zigomi alti e dagli occhi intensi, circondata da milioni di farfalle che danzavano nel paesaggio verdeggiante. Queste parole descrivono l'esperienza di Eben Alexander, neurochirurgo e professore alla Medical School di Harvard, che ha sempre negato la vita dopo la morte. Nel 2008, colpito da una rara forma di meningite, è entrato in coma profondo per sette giorni, durante i quali la sua corteccia cerebrale ha smesso di funzionare. Nonostante ciò, una parte di lui ha intrapreso un incredibile viaggio verso il Paradiso. Al risveglio, Alexander si è trovato trasformato, costretto a rivedere le sue convinzioni razionali sulla vita e la morte. Ha scoperto che esiste una vita oltre la vita, un Paradiso colmo di amore e meraviglia. Questa testimonianza straordinaria rappresenta un libro rivoluzionario, capace di mettere in discussione anche il più scettico dei lettori.
