Martus Editore - Martus Publisher

“... Today the history is just a thin thread of memory over the ocean of forgotten; but the time rolls on and it will come the high dates time date that individuals'high non-expandable memory will not be able to understand; then, whole centuries and millennia begin to fall from their memory, centuries of paintings and music, centuries of discoveries, battles, books. This will be bad because man loses consciousness of himself while his history, uncomprehensible and uncontrollable, will reduce itself in schematic and non-sensical abbreviations ...”

(M. Kundera).

Wen their roots, land, history are to be invested from the oblivion, the painful sensation "think that everything passes and leaves almost no trace", universalized by Giacomo Leopardi, becomes even heavier. Don't know your past, don't be aware of your origins, it means to loose a vital aspect of his being.

From this last serious prodrome and from a new philosophy of the consciousness born, it increase and nourish the idea of the foundation of the "Martus Editor", which set, for the main objective, to itself: the cataloguing, the promotion, the exploitation and the diffusion of the Cultural and Environmental Heritage of the Calabria, with particular reference to the province of Cosenza and more generally, of the State of Italy, too often left to one's own devices and to the carelessness of the Man and the Time.
